It may be an even race if the driver has an automatic or gets a really bad start or has no clue how to operate a manual. 
I believe you can go to kazaa and watch a race between an Eclipse GS-T and a Contour SVT. The Eclipse clearly takes it. Do a search for SVT Contour and you'll find it. (It doesn't say what mods have been done to both cars though.) 
Although,  they are racing on the streets like idiots.
