Default Ok there is something wrong with my car

We were messin around and my friend in his cavalier decided he wanted some. Im an auto vert, and he was a stick...well anyway two times from a dig he managed to stay right with me....I maybe put a fender on him...Then from a 40 roll I blew his doors off twice (which is what I had been expecting since race 1). What got to me was I have a CAI and full exhaust and he is stock. If I can put busses on him from a 40 roll in a ford auto...How did he manage to stay with me from a dig. It felt like my car wouldnt leave the line...What the hell could be wrong with it

do you just floor it from a stop? if so the torque convertor unlocks and will sit there, if you lock it up and go easy on the throttle down on the floor it will be better
