Drivetrain losses boys and girls...
Subaru AWD will eat 40-45 HP through the differentials.
You might be looking at a 10-15 HP difference by the time you hit the pavement and Civics are lighter than Subies. 2.5s are 16 second cars.... I'm calling this a close one.

Rep Power: 284 You'll race from a roll, too, if you have half a brain. From a roll and I say its close. Dig= you won't catch up for a LONG time. (even though the RS is not THAT easy to launch because it doesn't have the power to spin its wheels easily.)
