It's a simple equation of weight and wheel hp (okay gearing a bit too)
The wrx unmodded will make between 165-175 wheel hp stock, with a bit less than that in torque, it has lazy gearing in 4th and 5th, and weighs about 3200lbs. Your SPG most likely puts more hp power to the ground and definitley more torque, weighs less, and has tighter gearing in the top range.
So while awd will own you at the drag strip, you should have no problem walking away from stock wrx's from a roll.
The STi is a different story, It puts about 250hp and eqaul tq, it has six gears which allows for tigher ratios and has about a 100lb weight penalty over the wrx. In general a stock STi should have no problem blowing your doors off, but there are many variables (mostly dirver related) that can make that have a different outcome.
