if you just got the car, I'd drive it for a while and get used to it. I'd get to a drag strip sometime and see what kind of times it is running
you can also gut your interior to lose some weight, that will help you out a little more

Do a compression test on the motor. If the motor's still healthy, I do believe you'll take him. Chances are he's gonna walk you out of the hole, but you should catch, and pass him somewhere around 3rd gear.
But I wouldn't bet any cash till you know your car inside and out.

i would only race someone for money if i knew without a doubt that i could beat them plus when your racing for a large amount of money theres more pressure so you have the chance of making mistake and a big enough mistake and your out all that money

In a 1/4 mile I'd say you'd have a chance, but in the 1/8.........I just dont think so

.........definately not for money.

i agree with him 100%....get used to the car and get a little familiar with it b4 you race for $$$.
i remember in my eg i was on a main street and i stoped at the stop light some mustang pulls next to me and thinks he is cool and starts revin the shyt out of his car. the light turns green and i just demolished this guy....left him in the dust. he pulls next to me at the next light and he is like wow that thing pulls pretty good for a lil honda wat you got in there...i was just like oh just a lil 4 cylinder

....lol
