beat a thirdgen

On the way to school, there is a 3-lane road that merges into two after a light. I was in the middle lane, and a mid 80's primered camaro (I think it's a base camaro) pulled up in the right lane. The guy goes to my school, and it has a 350 that he put in. I knew he was gonna try to cut in front of me, so i got ready to race. I got a good launch, and he was a little late on the take off. I just payed attention to the road, and my brother in the passenger seat said he was on my tail and I was gaining on him slowly. When we got to around 50, he pulled behind me in my lane. Needless to say, I was surprised. Do you think his car's out of tune?

Yeah, torque is what it's all about . It's pretty much stock, except for the few mods in my sig.
