Default Who will win?-- need help

Hey guys
Ok so i have this guy at work whose dad has a crx (modded). He says he beats z28s and SS's every day. I want to run him but since there might be some money involved i want to know hwat i am getting into.

His car : CRX with a GSR motor(no details), exhaust,intake . No turbo no SC.
My car : 00 Z28 A4 with 3.23 rear. Wisper lid only. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

What do you guys think should i try it or wait for more mods? Any of ya'll have any details on that motor that would be appreciated.
(p.s - any local (carrollton area) guys want to come a join the fun it might be thursday night this week. )

being that you have an auto with no stall converter I would say it will be VERY close

Without details on the CRX it is impossible to tell. It could run low 12s or 15s.

Friend has a CRX with a bone stock prelude motor that ran 13.0s. No mods done to the motor at all, just a swap.

You better find out more about the car before you start trying to bet money.. If you had a good sized stall and drag radials I might say go for it from a stop, but we have no details of the CRX and if the guy below had his buddy do 13.0s with a stock prelude motor in one, you could be in trouble...

Id get more information first...

Just my .02 cents....
