2000 celica gts vs 2006 civic si both manual

Hey guys I own a 2000 toyota celica gts, my friend owns a 2006 civic si, both are manual transmission, we want to race, assume equal driving skill, who would win? Both cars are stock, but my celica gts has a aftermarket cold air intake. Are there any tips for racing?

It will be a close race. The SI is a little easier to drive fast because of its higher low end torque. To get the most of of the GTS you really have to wind out each gear.
