It would probably be decently close. They come stock with 263 HP and run the quarter in 14.2-14.4ish. If he is new at driving a stick, you'll most likely take him, granted YOU can drive a stick well.

I didn't put too much energy into it, but I tried to see how much the mazda weighs, no luck. Unless the mazda has a weight advantage you should be able to beat him.

yea ive been stick as a daily driver for a couple years now. but the mazda is rated only like 80 pounds lighter than my gt.

He is about 100lbs lighter, HP is about the same, You've got 20 ft/lbs of torque on him. It'll be a driver race. Get some gears.
