Default S2k vs. MazdaSpeed3....who wins in a street drag?

No serious talk here...just bored at work and i'm just curious since my buddy has one.

Two average drivers.

The S2k has RWD and less weight, but the MS3 has 280 ft. lbs of torque but is questionable as to how well it's going to put it all to the ground on stock tires.

both cars stock? they run basically the same 1/4 mile times, if you are racing @ high altitudes the MS3 has an advantage being turbo. Contrary to what was said in the street encounters thread your best chance is from a complete standstill because the MS3 is a hard car to launch and you may kill him off the line, once in 3rd gear the MS3 is really on par with most RWD cars that run a 13.5 so it would run away from an S2000.
