My friend drives a 2008 acura tl type s, 6 speed, and i drive a 2004 lexus is300, 5 speed. My car has minor mods like CAI, headers, and mid pipe. (probably 240 hp at the crank) the acura is pretty much stock, but has around 290 hp, how did i beat him by a car length? We both know how to drive stick, thanks for your help. 
Thanks hank with all your help, i have many questions lol
