From a dig until what? Did they do anything or just let out the clutch gently and roll onto the throttle? You may have an advantage out of the hole unless the driver is ready to throw down. My friend has a stock 15 wrx with a tune he did himself. Full launch he does a 12.9s 1/4. With heated up 200tw tires, header, catless front pipe and dynotune on 93, I barely can get a low 14. With a 2.2 60ft. The longer the distance, the more of a gap he'd put on me.

It would be a rare exception to see this car in n/a bolt on form to be the equal of an fa20DIT or EJ257/255 car driven by someone who either knows how to launch awd or is ready to bet their driveline on putting you in their rearview. And when the temperature dips below freezing, if they've deleted the egt heater it's crazy.

And please don't misunderstand; our cars can be pretty quick, just not quite that much so easily. With the exception of someone running a crazy high diff ratio haha
