Its not the horses that make the Forester fast, its the torque. (of course it dosn't hurt either)
The 2.5 liter engine is the key..No replacement for displacement. |
Originally posted by RockyMts In a straight line, the Forester XT is supposed to be as fast, if not slightly faster than, a WRX. It doesn't corner like a WRX, but as others have said, with the right mods it could. The Forester is not for me, but I would consider it if I had kids. I wonder how fast the new Baja Turbo will be. The Forester is build off of the impreza chassis. It is basically an impreza with boxes for sheet metal. I test drove it, its fast and handles pretty good for a SUV. The only problem I have with it is the shifter, it's really rubbery but, with a kartboy short shifter and harder bushings should fix the problem. |

saw one in the ditch on a highway tonight after first 3cms of snowfall.
I guess a Z or a RX-8 owner would be smart enough to slow down or stay home with their rear drive cars instead of qualifying for WRC on public roads |

Originally posted by IkeWRX AWD makes people far too cocky in bad weather, and a lot of people just stick with all seasons and even high performance all seasons. I hit a couple snowbanks with my TSI before I learned that lesson, luckily they were big fluffy snowbanks. That Forester probably had the RE-92s on it.. Ick.. I wish Subaru would at least put a disclaimer on the car saying "These tires suck..watch out." I cringe every time I walk past a Subie with RE-92s.. Love ya Subaru but damn...help people out by giveing them a better tire right off the lot.. 9-K Rever |
