SS vs Si
Not another one of these threads 
If you have an SC or TC if will be an easy win. Now if its a SS/NA its a toss. It comes down to the type of race and driver skill then. I personally have beaten 2 stock Si's but the drivers were douche bags who thought the Si was a rocket ship that could beat anything.

Wow this site loves to get off topic. OK here it goes. I pull trains on a stock Si with a good driver (super rare I know) from a 40 roll (because I suck at driving and can't launch without spinning the wheels off to save my life). If you want to compare my car to a cobalt just pretend I'm a stage 2 ss/sc with an intake and 300 pounds of weight reduction.
and a shorty antenna for weight reductuion. so not fair.
^^^even with a better driver on the SI, at top end the ss s/c shall catch up and win....thats only if they do a 20 roll, which i did once and he manage to pull on me but by the end of second i was already passing him lol
From a 40 roll, I can start in my car in 3rd rather than 2nd against an Si and still win after he pulls a fender. But again I'm comparable to a stage 2 with 300 pounds of weight reduction. Didn't realized how much faster that made me than a stock ss.

All things equal, you should pull him by a car or maybe two from a dig and probably about the same from a roll. Those SI are light and fairly fast. If he just got it 3 weeks ago, especially if it is a stick, I doubt he has learned to "feel" the car yet so you should be able to easily pull him.

OP's SS is an 05. So it is the LSJ.
If OP is stock, he'll have to make sure not to have a bad launch, but he should be good.
If stage 2, then well... that Civic better like seeing tail unless he's modded.
