I'd say you'll take him as long as you can drive decent, but if it were a newer 4th Gen V6 I'd say it would come down to the drivers.

Is it the 3.4 or 3.8??

You: 215HP@4400 and 275TQ@3200

95 V6
3.4: 160HP@4600 and 200TQ@3600
3.8: 200HP@5200 and 220TQ@4000

4th Gens are heavier usually too. I think you'll win, by how much depends.

Yep, if its the 3.4 you'll take him/her by quite a bit. Watch out for those 3.8's!! I met a girl at the track last week that ran high 14's with a 3.8 auto. She had a few minor mods and a factory 3.42 axle...but she'd be a real good race for most thirdgens. I never thought they were so fast until I saw for myself!

Oh yeah, there was a 96 cobra at the track with a VERY crappy driver that she smoked
