Here is a list of the cars I have beat a actual 1/4 mile race.
00 grand am gt
96 baretta z26
92 prelude (intake, exhaust, header, no cat)
01 aurora 3.5
96 Dodge Neon R/t (intake and body kit)
98 Chrystler Sebring v6
86 civic si (riced out)
00 maxima gle (not the se; fast one)
That is all I can think of at the moment.

Now Being killed
92 talon tsi awd (had me off the line then it was even i ended up by his back bumper)
99 grand am gt (intake, exhaust)
98 camaro 3800

Good kill with the Maxima. Even though the GLE was an auto (I think only the SE is stick) they're still pretty quick cars. ALso the GAGT is pretty quick too! Both are solid 15 second runners.

I raced a Chrysler Sebring once, some lady was driving it. She tried to smoke me off a stoplight, I absolutely humiliated her. Looking at the stats later on I saw it was a mid 17 second car with a V6, pathetic!

Good kills.

Remember, the Sebring'* have a very small V6, the newer ones use a all aluminum 2.7L and they are heavy typically because alot of them are convertibles and its a heavy car no matter what.
