Default S2000 + exhaust vs. Toyota Starlet GT turbo with loud ass BOV and exhaust

Driving home with a friend tonight minding my own business a modded starlet GT pulled up next to me and started reving. We were going about 40mph and after ignoring him for awhile I dropped back to second. Less than ideal speed for a second gear punch but too fast for 1st.

We both took off at the same time and by the time I hit about 70 I easily had 2 car lengths and he gave up.
I had a friend as a passenger and he had two drunken chicks in his car.

Has anyone raced one before and how fast/slow are they?

I think its a mid 80s car, but that's about all I know about it. Anyone else know more details?

Old cars = usually light, cheap and easy to make fast. I would'nt try him.

Check out:

Stock they are good for high 14's low 15's for the 1/4
The one in the article above ran 13.3 after a lot of work.
Looks like the one I raced wasn't all that modified apart from the BOV and exhaust.

I think its a mid 80s car, but that's about all I know about it. Anyone else know more details?
Its a early to lateish 90's car.

I used to own a 1981 Toyota Starlet. I wish I still had it.
