i think the teg will win because i dont think you know how to launch your car, you might take him in 3rd if you know how to shift
but judging by how many questions your asking about racing and launching your car i think he's got an advantage (having been to the track and all)

my advice to you:
go out alone at night and find a deserted straight road, and practice launching your car.
i happen to have about 15-20 miles or protected seashore beach near me, and at night the one hwy that parallels it is totally deserted (MIDNIGHT CLUB!)
so when i first got my car i practiced down there alone

i usually launch at about 3k rpms, and slip the clutch about half-way until it grabs and then give it WOT

sphinx: i routinely race z28's, 5.0's, T/A's, WRX's, etc.
i usually pull about 2 cars on the muscle cars until they catch me in 3rd gear, but thats the 1/8th mile for ya
and apparently i have become good enough at launcing that i can hang with WRX's off the line.
