God only knows, how well can you handle your car? Do you launch like you're at the strip on slicks or do you launch smart? If your car is an AT Mustang, say good night Gracie, unless his is an AT as well, if not he's going to walk you. If you're in a 5spd with the above mentioned then you should have no problem with him, if he's stock I believe it's actually 225hp, but whos keeping track right? If he's stock you should have him, your car should be good for 13's easy.

It's a drivers race...

actually... heres the possible scenarios:

1. your both manual: if you can launch your car REALLY well it may be a close race but he still might win, otherwise his AWD will get you off the line and youll be done.

2. your both auto: i have no idea

3. your auto and hes manual: hell win for sure

4. your manual and hes auto: if you launch perfectly and shift perfectly you have a possibility of winning.

Not that big but a significant amount of a difference and I just want to know what they both are to tell the truth I could care less if he wins or loses I just want to know bout his car some more.

In any Mustang produced between 1984 and 2004 the difference between the Manual and Auto transmission can be easily half a second or more, to me that's significant.
