Default Stock SN95 beat me tonight...wtf?

So I met up with a friend who just bought a 95GT w/ 41k miles on it...(LCBlackDep183)...and he says he's stock but he beat me no problem...I have an intake, H pipe with high flow cats and flowmasters. Now I realize that that stuff adds probably only 10 hp, but I still dont get it. He kicks my *** in every gear. I think he has gears that he doesn't know about.

How can you tell if a car has gears that you don't know about without opening up the rear?

put the rear end of his car in the air, mark his drive shaft and one of the rear wheels. this way you can tell what his gear ratio is!

So for example...for 1 rotation of the wheel the driveshaft would rotate 3.73 times?
