are you asking us if your going to win or loose so your next question is what you need to give you the biggest advantage???
honestly anyone that has raced on the streets enough knows the streets bring alot of variables. You have two cars that are set up completly differently.. One should be making more power ( the ss) but the other has shape, weight, and suspension as advantages. you have an A4 whcih will eliminate any error on your end where he can miss a shift. But if he misses a shift you will hear the bitching.. hey i missed a shift lets do it again :roll: So the race that will be the determining factor will be the one where he doesn't miss any shifts and doesn't completly blow off his tires... Assuming both work to his advantage it will be a close race.
The cheapest advantage i can think of for you would be to buy a vararam intake. (just bought mine for $280 shipped) or at the very least find out (go out and test) and see if your tires respond better to lower psi... If you can get some better traction and pull him outta the hole you should be able to at the very least hold him off for the whole 1/4. Make sure you know where the 1/4 is because he will probably be pulling on ya.
ALso cleaning your maf wouldn't be a bad thing to do before the race
