He should beat you, statistically by a few lengths. X2 on taking him from a stop, if he can't shift he's got a few more gears to screw up on that way. The turbo will kill you on the top end.
I've got a few beginner mods and was able to turn a 14.0 1/4 mile, while my friend who has a srt4 turned a 14.4 1/4 mile with about the same beginner mods, I think something was wrong with his car because he was shifting pretty good with a nice launch. The srt4s can hit 300hp pretty easily too, with very few mods. I like them, about the only car I don't consider rice with a 4banger turbo.
