At one time I thought I was joe racer and had two of the same car. I set them up 100% the same. Ran #1 car in first qual and #2 the second. Guess what? The cars were very diffrent in what they would do on the track. So much so that I took the best car and had to finish the race with it.

Oh, check that your tires didnt come lose from the rim. Have to check those rubbers every run. He could have a better setup station than you and can get that last 1/4 deg. Could be any number of things of why his works and your dont. I would bet 90% of it is body though.

Thanks, I will eventually get a body, when I got this car nobody had a Mazda 6 in time for me to get the car running so I pretty much grabbed anything close.
