if you took it to 95 in 4th you weren't even anywhere near redlining it. They guy new you had an NA and wasn't wasting his gas on you. They weight almost 400 or 500 lbs less than a Z(2800ish vs 3300ish) and have 255hp bone stock. Sorry, but I don't think there is any way in the world you could even touch an FD. I have raced V8 Camaro's at highway speed and hung/gotten beaten by a little, but never from a stop. Unless there was somehting SERIOUSLY wrong with his car he was just not even trying. Sorry man.
