can i beat it?

can i stock 12A 83 rx7 with K&N and header, to straight pipe to free flowing muffler, beat a stock like maybe 85 volkswagen golf, with header/exhaust? cause i saw this crappy looking brown one near my house thati know the guy and all it has is exhaust and rims, but he was like reving in neutral and it sounded pretty fast... i could be just tripping, but could i beat it you think?

probably. is more that a yes that a no. i use to have a 85 gsl automatic an i raced a 93 (i think) golf gti and i beat him bad. and mine had k&n drop in filter and a 2.25 inch pipe after the cats with a dinomax ultraflo muffler, everything else was stock, but is all in the skill. if you have skill you beat him.

Rev out each gear and by the time you hit 100km/h (62mph) You'll have him by a few good lengths. Should be able to beat him pretty easily if you have good gear changes.
