Race and find out, should be close with you having the slight edge, in terms of weight, but he has more hp, but I don't feel like getting into it, so just race and find out, but don't kill anyone or yourself.

If you car is running top notch, good knock sensor etc, you should prevail.

You should kick his A$$ right off the line! I raced my buddy a few years back in his ES300 and I took 'em right from the start. The ES might have more power but I'm guessing the gearing isn't made for quick launches...it's more for smooth shifts (i'm guessing). He had exhaust and I only have an intake pipe at the time. By the way I have an Auto.

I raced my friend with a 99 es300 and took him really bad. I forgot if I was stock or with just ypipe. You have stillen w/ midpipe and a ypipe along the way...you will for sure win! You can even take out your intake and still beat him The es300 has a very smooth transmission, so a lot of power is loss there, so take advantage of that.

are u a 5spd?

i hope the boardmembers haven't been hyping up the ypipe too much...now i'm expecting to be able to feel a noticeable difference.

Seriously, if you do race, keep it safe, or take it to the track.
