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.

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

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..
