Get off the straight line challenge. Change it to an autocross.
On a tight mountain road you can crush him.

 I was not suggesting that he take it to the street. I only mentioned this because the race track is wide while the real world is narrow. I suggested auto cross.

Also, OP, it's pretty simple what you have to do ... Get in the Z, push the gas pedal about half way down, and drive it somewhere to trade it in on a faster car.

He'll take you on the launch but you might be able to reign him in at the end. Top end on most AWD cars will be average at best whereas the Z is pretty respectable in triple digits. No missed shifts or your done.

Like everyone else said, it's probably a driver's race. It'll be close, but if he somehow messes up his launch you could beat him. |

Quick, go trade your manual shift in for an automatic. Then you might be able to keep up with him off the line. If not, just insult him and tell him he drives a German taxi.
