Question MkIII vs N/A

I sure this has been asked before but i had to ask with a lot of ppl in the forum right now.
THis is the scoop my buddy has a MkIII supra turbo and i got an s4 N/A. My mods include striaght pipe to single n1, hks intake no spare no sound deadening anywhere in the rear, so my FC's a little lighter than the supra.
My buddy has a fully stock MkIII turbo. Now he just got his license and i taught him to drive stick, and we've raced some ppl before and hes missed gears numerous times which im teaching him how to refine.
So any chance of me beating this supra? You guys think maybe i could keep up with him? I mean its all for fun he says he wants to beat me first then check out my flames while we race cuz its shoots like crazy

That supra, if running right, can run low 15s. You NA, if running right, can run low 16s to high 15s. Thats close to a full second, which is many car lengths.

No he will prolly run high 15s since hes a new driver, and thats if the car is running perfect. But its capable of low low 15s stock.
