Message Your car = ~3400 lbs
His car = ~2400 lbs

Assuming a VTEC and typical ricer year,
his car had about 170hp / 130ft-lbs stock.
After mild adjustments, he could easily be in the 220/175 range with a 1000lbs weight advantage.

Granted, your car is not stock, so power would be higher than his, but you've still got an extra half-a-ton to contend with. Plus, some of your mods would be bad in drag racing ... particularly the lightweight flywheel. It's great while rolling, but a big negative for a drag start.

I don't support street racing of any type, but if you must race a Z in a street race, at least do it from a rolling start so that you've got a fair chance to show what the car's got.
