What about an 02 EX vs. 86 BMW 325?

I tried to look up the stats for an 86 BMW 325 on Edmunds but their stats only go back to 1990. This girl I work with has an 86 BMW 325, manual, with like 110,000 miles on it. We're not planning on racing, but if we did, who would win? I've driven her car and it has way more torque than ours, but it also has a 4,500 redline.

Me:
2002 EX
Automatic
6800 redline
K&N FIPK II
HP Header (top portion)
11.8lb wheels
12" sub in 1.00 cu ft box (+ a little weight there)

Her:
1986 BMW 325
Manual
4,500 redline
Stock
110,000 miles

Or if anyone just has the stats on her car, please post them. HP, TQ, weight, and maybe 0-60 times or something. I'm sure she's faster but I'm just curious. When I drove her car I was like damn that's a lot of torque, but then I was like holy crap that's a quick redline.

I dunno.. tell you truthfully i think the 325 would spank u hahaha...
2.7 liter engine with 170 ft pounds of torque at 2000 rpm i think it was....
the engine size plus the manual setting should give her car a little bit more advantage, so i'm basing my decision on that.... Also i see these suckers being mod and raced on circuits...... but go race her and tell us who wins... cause i want to know for sure too hahaha...

If the girl knows how to shift at all, she'll probably edge you out.

You would definately take her if you were 5spd, but I don't think you will automatic.

you are gonna win, chances are, halfway to the finish line, her hood probably would pop off in smoke and red and brown oil burst out under her engine. Sorry, didnt mean to jinx your friends car.

Do it rolling start. Automatic civics have a much better chance from a roll
