tell me...who would win

My friend has a pontiac grand am (2000). It's stock, has a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine with 150 hp, auto transmission, and weighs at 3116. I have a 95 Maxima, also stock, with the 3.0L V6 with 190 horses and curb at around 3000 even and is automatic. were debating endlessly and he seeminly refuses to accept the fact that maximas are the best. oh well im venting now, but he needs to be put into his place. so who would win the race, if were about equal drivers?

150hp vs 190hp
2.4l vs 3.0l
3116 vs 3000 (actually, I think it's around 3100)

yeah, I dunno who would win. Do both cars have gas in them???

This is related. I used to slap my friend up and around when he would try to race me with his '92 Chevy Lumina Z34, and now another one of our friends got a 2002 Grand Am SE automatic, and I have a 97 automatic SE with PR CAI. I am pretty sure i will beat him, but i also have 120,000 miles.

Should i be sweatin it at all?

Whoever got to the imaginary finish line that's setup first would win...

seeing as you could prolly beat a V6 one but it would be close i'm gonna say you would rape him endlessly. he's high 16's your high 15's. i wouldn't even sweat.

Hmmm, I'd bet 0.25 on you... a lot depends on who can drive their automatic better...

I always get a chuckle from these posts.....

Just go out and race.

You can get all the reassurance in the world from the .org but this is the internet and races aren't won andlost here.

Strap on your driving gloves and go out and smoke your boy's a$$.

Don't be scared, you drive a Max.
