The Sentra has the torque advantage, but it should really turn into a driver's race.

Are both cars manual transmissions? if one is an auto, they'll lose.

and besides... you always got:

it will be a neck and neck race. The sentra has more torque but has a lower redline. So the sentra will pull off the line but the civic can hold each gear longer. In a race like this EVERYTHING counts, screw up your launch and you lose, if he has a CAI you lose, if he removed the spare tire you lose. Just try to throw a happy meal in his back seat before the race that should be enough weight to give you an advantage.

yep ... just gotta hope that the civic's gearing is shorter ;P

if you really want a decisive race, you would have to do like best out of 3 to see which car is really faster you know..

yeah, like got boost said, maybe you should take out the jack and sparetire if this race is really THAT important to you. Otherwise have fun but be safe.
