First of all, 94s are slightly heavier than 93s. Second, are they the same style? Do you both have LX/DX or is his an EX and yours a LX/DX? EXs have slightly stronger engines (something like 127ish in the EX as opposed to the 108ish of the LX/DX). Correct me if im wrong on this, im going by memory.

forced induction or nitrous would make you get upto speed a lot faster then him... but it would take its toll on your auto trans.
