Ok so I raced an 05 wrx earlier it was my friends 05 auto with an sti turbo running 18 pounds with an sti top mount and a turbo back exhaust. I have a 96 gt with full pi heads cam and manifold swap o/r xpipe and
magnaflow magnapcks with an intake 373's and tr3650 trans with a pro 5.0 short shifter and apparently tuned but needs a re tune. We raced earlier from a roll and I lost by 2 cars. I was surprised to see that because I thought I'd beat him. We were only able to do 1 run which sucks but I started in the top of 2nd and I did the honks do you think I lost by so much because of the way I drove? I also didn't power shift I let off the gas completely to shift. I told him once I get my new intake get a tuner for it and get better at racing I'll definitely beat him. What do you guys think? Was his car actually that much faster or was it the driving. Once I get better at racing and get my car tuned do you think I'd win? Lmk thanks
