It might not be a huge advantage but i definitely think either of us would be faster in the 325ci as opposed to the 318ti. I really believe its going to come down to our skills as drivers to see who will be faster.
I am quite sure about it, I have seen it play out dozens of times! 0-60 times mean little at an autocross. Having a shorter wheel base and a 400 lbs weight advantage does mean something. The tighter the course the farther ahead the ti will be.
