I suppose if I were a betting man, I would put it on the automatic lude. It would be close, but both cars weigh pretty similar. And his mods won't add that much HP to make his stock 140hp at the crank (or did they have 160hp for a 3rd gen?). You've got him on the HP, the torque might be in his favor just a hair. These numbers I'm talking about are all the realistic HP and TQ power curves at the wheels, just if you're wondering.
But with your auto, providing its in good working order, it's going to be you stomping the pedal to the floor immediately when taking off from a stop and don't do none of that *** manumatic stuff because your "D" mode is going to work the best. He's going to be shifting and with a race like that, he's going to have at least two different times (maybe three) where he shifts and loses that brief moment of acceleration. So overall, I think the win would go to you.
But as far as bragging rights go the next day at school, you'd both be talking about a win of one car length, maybe two. Most people would call that a "draw" though, haha.
