Unhappy 99 TL w safc vs IS250

Well guys last night i was well stressed about my car. coming home from racing go carts. we decided to have some highway fun so my friend put his girlfriend 250 right on my bumper from 80 n i went to sports mode drop to 3rd n start pushing it all the way to 130. the disapointed point part was he was right there behind me the whole entire time. the onli thing i can say in my defense was that i was about 100 pounds heavier but damn for the first time in since i bout the car it felt like a 9 yearold car. having problem w an underpowered car. i believe that it was due to the fact that im a 4 speed n that car his 6 speed what u guys think?

Both cars are rated basically the same maybe him being a 6spd helped him out..The IS250 is by no means a quick car.
