Impreza STI vs. Forester STI

I'd so rock a Forester STI if they were available here

Funny you post this now... I was just looking at an add for them in a car magazine (Xa Car) at the convenience store...

I'd get one over an Imprezza... but I'd rather have a Legacy STi over both...

the forester STi has more horsepower than the Impreza, only slightly more weight (150 pounds), yet it pulled a full half second SLOWER than the lower horsepower car on the track.

Ike, are you actually condoning a slower car? dear god!

That is so cool. So do the North American version have the manual override on the centre diff too?

The forester probably lost in corners, they might have around the same weight, well 150 pounds more for forester STi, but the weight distribution is different, a lot taller in the forester and the suspension setup is probably different too, needs more travel in forester.
