If it's claimed to have 270 at the crank...then he's right at about 200WHP, so you wont have a problem beating him seeing he's not a great driver. Now if you line up with him as your car sits and he launches it off the box....your screwed cause it's gonna go like a raped ape and you will have to play catch up majorly. I've raced a couple friends subi's at the track for them and stock I had an STI running 8.0 1/8 mile.
As for the being junk...the Imprezza WRX tranny's are terrible and weak! We broke the tranny 4 times in a STOCK WRX with hard launches and never broke it again after we put the 6spd Sti tranny in. I do agree it is a drivers car, if your scared of breaking sumthing with one then your going to bog it down really bad, those cars have to leave on the box if you want a good launch...other wise you might as well take of normally.
Either way good luck with whatever happens, and let us all know the outcome.
