96 Contour se vs mini cooper s

after prom last night my friend let me take his se for a cruise and on the trip i got a perfect opportunity to race another friend in his mini cooper s.... race is from a dead stop i get off the line pretty good with some wheel spin/hop hit 2nd about 1/2 car ahead hit 3rd and im about 1 full car length ahead... i thought the mini cooper s prolly would have won but im guessing since he had 1 extra passenger( 105lb girl) than it makes sense how i won by that margin. (btw i was shifting at a shade past 6k, not my car i didnt wanna take a chance and blow it up)These contours are pretty fun little cars. of course when i got back in my t/a too much traffic and no chance for me to kill them... anyone else have experiences with these mini coopers
