Default 00 S2000 vs. 01 turbo GSR

i was on the highway with a passenger, and he had a passenger. we went like 3 times from around 40-45 to about 100. the first time i should have been in 2nd but i was in 3rd and he walked a car on me and shut down; easy win. the 2nd race, i was in 2nd gear and i got the immediate jump and stayed there for a few seconds. then he started to pull and had a car on me at the end of it. he asked me what i had and i said "an intake" and he said he was boosting 15lbs. obviously his car is faster, but i thought i should have lost by more than that. still a very fast car though; after i got the immediate jump, he was gone.

my buddy who was riding shotgun said he wasn't shifting very fast or smooth. plus this was a 2700lb. Integra. also, his car took a second to get going from the 3rd honk; turbo lag?
