Does this make sense?

I recently raced my friend in his Lincoln Mark VIII and I was barely beating him in a race from 0-60 (not sure it may have been 0-70). Now his car is stock, and I have a 97 5speed GXE with intake, y-pipe, Technosquare ECU, and unfortunately a bad knock sensor. Does it make sense for me to be doing that bad with a bad knock sensor? I would say the Mark VIII's are around as fast as a stock Maxima 5speed.

Mark VIIIs are pretty damn fast. My brothers friend has one and it roars. Its a heavy car but has a very big engine. I raced it b4 it was about a tie.

Are you stock, and are you a 5speed?

change your knock sensor...

ks hurt you, get a new one and give it another go !

yeah man get that sensor fixed first but i think still you should be able to stay ahead of him
