I have read stats on these cars and my overall impression would be that theres not alot in it between these two !!!
S3 0-60 = 6.4
0-100 = 16.4
172 0-60 = 6.6
0-100 = 17.9

statisticly speaking you should beat him convincingly.. but in the real world we all know it is down to the driver ..although it will take some good drivig skill to beat a 172 in a 106 gti
