Mazda Speed Protege?

what do you guys think?

my buddy is about to get a 2003 Mazda Speed Protege

how would i stack up against his car? Would it be a close race or would i get killed?

as you can see in my sig im pretty much stock and all i know about the speed protege is that it has 170hp...

thanks guys

There's too many variables on the street. You'd be surprised what some weaker cars can beat. For instance...a WRX beat the crap outta a Z06. Who woulda thought.
