MS3 has the disadvantage of FWD. If you do your job right you should be able to beat it off the line if you are both on comparable tires.

Of course it doesn't help that the Z on street tires isn't exactly the easiest car in the world to launch quickly. Only a handful of people are able to successfully cut sub 2.0s 60' times on the stock tires.
