look at what you wrote, and answer your own question.
1. weight
2. stock vs mods.
inmy opinion if hi car is well maintained he will win and then proceed to laugh at you. then you will kick him in the nuts.
end of story

o yea i know...overall the hatch will win...but i forgot to add since the hatch doesnt have RPM he shift too fast....in my opinion he's not a good driver....it comes down to driver when driving a manuel rite??

Good point!! The Y7 would take it all day unless you get some mods done!! Then it would be close

yah to a certain extent but if this guy has some mods in his car the obvious logic would be he can shift by the sound of the engine. if he cant then hes just "special needs"

Yeah, unless he has an aftermarket RPM gauge? Also in the older DX he's going to need all those mods just to keep up. Depending on how well the car runs I think you can take him. I think you will be about even with him. I'm guessing if his car is old and abused then you'll probably win.

Project2k2 is on a distinguished road
He should walk all over you. With my Intake and Exhaust, I could walk all over an auto ex all day. I think he will take you.

Unless this guy really doesnt know how to drive, and doesnt at point to shift, you'll win. The weight and transmission and mods will surely put the ball on his court, but....... you'll never know till you try.....
