What year STi? Any mods done to it?
If it's stock (any year), you will have no issues beating it from a roll. Even lightly modified STi's (stage 1) should be no problem for you when going from a roll.
However, a good STi driver from a dead stop will give you problems...even stock cars. The late model version (2008+) will definitely give you issues.
STi's are mean cars from a stop but they don't have the horsepower on the top end to pull away at higher speeds. The 6-speed transmission gear ratios are very short too, which makes the driver have to shift constantly when racing in a straight line.
