I must admit, I am dealing with purely "seat of the pants" evaluations, 
but my pants said that the reduced weight coupled with hp numbers that 
are almost identical (+ - 10, 15hp), the S would out accelerate the q any 
day.  The top end of the q would certainly be better though.  The S is 
geared pretty low (85-87 models w/close ratio), but it gets there pretty 
well.  I have acheived a top speed of around 110-115, but don't have a 
lot of stright stretches.  I don't have much more room on my license for 
points either...

P.S.  Anyone have graphs of the output at various rpm's for the -5?  The 
1.8L-4 would be pretty easy to obtain baseline figures, as it is VERY 
similar to a GTi motor.
