Yes, but he will probably react faster to the start and he'll certainly manage the gear-shift better to reach his maximum speed faster.
There's a good chance that by the time you reach the end, you will not yet have hit the maximum speed. He, on the other hand, will maximise the potential for the car and get there faster than you, achieving a higher max speed in teh process.
