first run with the new car

I got my first run with my new car today. I have a 08 saab 93 aero xwd. Car I raced was a S4 avant want to say a 02 style. We started from a 50 roll and he got the jump on me till i got to 70 that is when i pulled him till we stopped. He was at my rear door. We did a few different runs, I put the car in sport mode and used the paddle shifters to see if it made a difference but still seemed about the same. He would always get the jump on me till 70 then that's when I would pass him. I stopped after our 3rd run he gave me a thumbs up and drove off. My car is stock his car could tell is was modded but with what im not sure. I am getting the car tuned in the spring and then will take it to the dyno and track. Just waiting till I hit 60K
