I had an 05 STi for roughly a year, and let me tell you, it will eat a Boxster in a straight line. If he really has an STi, he's clearly not driving it to its potential. The only real downside to the Subie is that it is a brick in the wind, and due to its gearing, is not a great autobahn car, though it was never designed to be either. Still, from a 3rd gear pull, he should have pulled on you pretty well.
As to the legality of all this, we all know its illegal and not the wisest thing to do.
