The race you won was from a stop? He must have had some BAD traction, I mean traction worse than when I race. The autos are usually on par with the manuals but with much more consistant times. Also, were you spraying when you raced him?
If he had traction, you would have been beat by three or four cars.
14.0 is pretty good for your car. Get some 4.10 gears, man. That rear end can take it. From what I saw in your post, you've got a stick, so it won't affect gas milage too much. That will cut two to three tenths off your times.
