I owned an STi and a WRX. Both cars are all about a high rpm launch. They have awd and can be launched hard pulling easy 1.8 sec 60' times (stock). But not everyone can do it, or is willing to do it.
But most WRX's/STi's trap around 100-102 mph or so. In similar conditons the SS will trap 105-108 mph. The SS has a ton more top end speed. So if the race is anywhere close around 60mph or so, the SS will easily win the race. But a well driven STi is very capable of running low 13s with a fast 60' time.
Top end - STi's and WRX's aren't very fast. A V6 Camaro could easily keep up with a WRX or STi at speeds over 80mph or so.
