T6 smoked by V70 T5 ?! S80

Hi,
I was feeling that my T6 was not up to par powerwise so I went head to head with my friend who has a 1998 V70 T5. From a dead start I jump 2 feet in front on the first gear and in 2nd gear the V70 T5 pulls ahead AT LEAST a car lenght in front and then keeps pulling away. My car feels really sluggish at high RPMs. Any ideas why?
268hp VS 236hp I should AT LEAST be side by side with the T5?

I've had a message on the dash that says "Antipollution entretient requis" which means something like .. service needed for anti-pollution. The message is accompanied by the Lambda sign (which could mean 100 things) Could this have anything to do with the apparent lack of power?

Thanks
