Ok, Plainol2k2si and I got together today to mess around. We raced a few times down my private road. We did two or three standing still launches, and two rolling starts from 20 MPH on. Here is one video, we did at stand still launch in this video. My girlfriend did a really poor job of filming, but I did get at least a car length on plain's car (He was so far behind when my girlfriend turn to film him he wasn't there lol, watch vid)

Here is another standing still launch. Same deal, I pulled pretty hard on him, probably like a car, car and half. It's really short cause once again my girlfriend cut it short :(

Plain insisted that it was my launches that gave me my advantage. So we did two 20 MPH rolling starts. And I pulled just as bad (If not worse :D ) on him both times. The first time I missed third and he caught up but I was a car ahead before I missed third. The 2nd time he was about half a car to a car behind the whole way. His mods that I know of are Injen CAI and 2.25 midpipe. My mods...SRI and that's it. I was also running 91 octane vs. his 87 and he had almost a full tank and I had half a tank. Both vehicles were carrying two passengers. So those were our differences. I will try to get a rolling start video up, it's kinda big to upload on my 56k connection but I might upload it later.
Here's a pic of us, Mike on the right with the white EP, I'm on the left with the silver EP:
