Well, assuming you're both stock, you should run around a 16.8 and he should run a 16.7, so yeah, he should've had you by a bit. Then again, this kind of post is highly looked down upon, so you'll probably get flamed... Fair warning.

hard to say,according to clubcivic.com:
EG sedan weighs 2490 and 125hp=19.92lbs/hp
99-00 weighs 2513 and 127hp=19.78lbs/hp
so the 99 has the advantage there.......not by much.
his 2nd gear is .009 shorter than yours so he has a TINY bit of acceleration on you.
stock for stock yes id say when he hits 2nd, he pulls in front.

this is assuming you are even in the driver dept.

This could be a good way to check the progress of your build. Race, add a part race again... Safety first though.

Take some weight out of your car (spare, jack, etc. maybe even a/c) then race again and see.

A cai might help too, the z6 is a pretty good engine.

the z6 is def the stronger of the 2 engines. your 4door is just a fat slob, coupe for coupe you could take him.
