Default what would it take for my car to be a lexus IS300?

i know, its not gonna be easy, but yea...
i have a friend who is going to get an 01 is300 and he wants to race me at the track
if i had aftermarket short ram intake, catback, header, pullies, cam gears, carbon fiber hood, racing seats, and eibach sportline springs with a rebuilt engine with new pistons and all that good stuff, do you think its possible?

my car:125 HP 137 TORQUE
curb weight: 2822
FWD

lexus:215 HP 218 TORQUE
curb weight: 3270
RWD

i think my the worse part is that his car is RWD, big advantage over me in a drag race

I would try to shave as much weight as possible, rip your whole interior out before the race. Also might want to consider a 75 shot of nitrous.

idk if they make it for your car, but you could do a intake manifold with a bigger throttle body. chip your ECU.

I think you can beat it, just not with your car in its current state

Why is he racing you again?

Someone get connections to a JDM importer and persuade him to import a Skyline engine block. Do some massive modding and install....and wha-la!
