Default 2002 QC 4.7 vs. Subaru STI

Ok, I need a little help here please. I've had my baby (2002 1500 QC 4.7) for about a year and I love it. However, my friend (who is an import guy) has a Subaru STI AWD and thinks that he can outpull my truck. I looked up the specs on both engines and it turns out that we have about the same torque (the 4.7 puts out 290 ft. lbs. and the STI puts out 300 ft lbs. because it is turbo charged).

So if we tied the car and truck together with a strap and pulled each other at full boar, who would be able to pull who? Assuming that I would be in 4X4 Low and I have pretty aggressive tires and he has AWD with racing tires.

What do you guys think?

That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
But, if I had to contribute, I'd say since you weigh more you have the advantage.

this is a joke right??? look at the mass of your car to his and the gearing ratio. If the two engines were on block stand his would win, but because of the weight of you truck and the gearing of the trucks he would have no shot...

A Subaru vs. a Dodge truck?????[sm=happybounce.gif]

If you win, that is to be expected but what if you lose?

Would you still be able to live with yourself and look your friends in the eye when you talk about how "great" your truck is?
