is his car the STI, or the regular WRX impreza? depends on how good of a driver he is. remember that AWD cars are always the most difficult to launch. if he cant launch it properly, then you will gain the advantage off the hole; and then it would be a matter of keeping the lead. yes, those cars are damn light... and yes, the AWD should work to his advantage...
i think you would be pretty close... now, if you were to put all your horses on the ground with a proper suspension... watchout WRX
