01 LX vs Dodge Durango?

Not that a stupid race like this would ever happen, but let me know what you think. I'm not an expert on automotive issues, but when compared to my friend, I may as well be. Anyhow, I have an 01 LX, with your standard bolt on mods, I/H/E and pulleys, 5spd. My friend has a new, fully loaded Dodge Durango. She thinks that her Durango is really fast and would blow my car away. Now, I know my car is not that fast, but look at the specs on the Durango. Horsepower = 245, torque = 335, but base weight on the one she has is 4726 lbs. That's almost twice as much as my car. Plus, her Durango is automatic. So, should I really argue this one, or would I not be able to keep up? I'd appreciate some feedback on this.

you would embarass her acceleration wise, but lest say she hooks a chain up to your car, she will teach you a lesson in torque

If you have equally good drivers in each car the durango should smoke you. The HP and TQ should make up for its weight.

If you're racing uphill, the durango would kill you.
