I've been challenged

So this guy from around town wants to race my 97 lx. He's got a 95 Escort GT. My car is stock, and I'm pretty sure his is too.
Its just a straight line race. I'm fairly adept wat shifting, or so I like to think.
Any opinions??
I'm too busy to try and find 0-60 times and so on, but do you guys think I got a chance?? We've both got a 1.8l

Never mind about the 0-60 part I think I found something.
http://www.hostultra.com/~ford/performance1.htm
1993 Ford Escort GT 8.4 16.5

1995 Mazda Protege ES 8.7 16.6

That was the closest I could come to the years of both our cars.
I'm not sure of however, the accuracy of these numbers since it didn't cite a source.

take some weight off and get good fuel and i think you will be fine. Its going to all come down to the driver in this one if you both are stock

Word. It was planned for this weekend but we've got a foot and a half of snow so it'll probably be delayed for a while.
