stock 2k1 civic vs a modded 97 civic

hey guys! im about to race a 97 automatic dx sedan civic (he has headers,intake,cat back exhaust) and i have a 2k1 automatic sedan civic dx(just have a muffler, and rims)
The thing is this guy likes to talk alot, and he thought he could keep up with my friends base automatic rsx, and he got SMOKED! Ive raced my friends rsx b4, but i wasn't there to see them race. He thinks he'll smoke me, but my friend(rsx) says it would be a close race..

do you think it'll be close or will he smoke me?
just asking for opinions, ill tell you the results when i race him

thanks

Your aftermarket rims may be your downfall.... how big are they and how much do they weigh?

I say go for it and see what happens, and then post the results. I'm interested to see what happens, good luck!

BTW...if he has a Civic he would have an aftermarket header, not headers[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I saw it'll be close...

I got 17's too, and kinda heavy with low pros, all I have is aem cai, and tanabe racing medalion cat-back exhuast system
and I smoke gt celicas and accords ( never raced the newest accord with 240 hp, doubt id win though)
I say go for it and see, hell post the results even...... I can actually claim to have beaten a v6 mustang and a porshe, it was a relatively new model, but not extremely new, so maybe not to great an accomplishment, but it was pretty fast, I just took him to bad outta the whole....
