Who gives a crap, it's a station wagon. I'm sure Dodge could make the Caravan fast too. It'd still be a minivan.

Subaru underrated the hp and torque on the turbo forester and the engine is basically a detuned WRX STi. Lots of low end torque and low gearing (4.44 final) make for quick launches. Manual turbo foresters have no problem running low 14's stock and one person has gotten a 13.9 stock but all have low trap speeds relative to the ET. Don't look for much top end.

Probably the best sleeper car on the market today and if you could score a turbo and an intercooler from someone who's upgraded their Sti, then things can get really fun. May require a 5-point harness for the dog and kids though.

Does it come with a baby seat? Look at it, its a station wagon!
I`m surprised it doesnt have wood paneling on the side.
I guess if your in a hurry to pick up the kids at daycare, or late for a PTA meeting, this is the way to go.

Good, now maybe Nissan will step it up and add some hp to the 2005 Z. Competition is a good thing.

I like the STi, but Subaru is queer. End of story.

Funny marketing they only give you part of the story... Sure that thing is fast in 0-60 because of the all wheel drive, your comparing apples to oranges but here is the remaining of the story...


after they hit 60mph the 350z pulls like a bat out of hell as the Z driver see's through his rear view mirror the man getting slapped by his wife for racing and he just starring wishing he never got married or had kids in the first place... AND A DAMN DOG!

That's the truth, dont let ads fool you

Ok, fine it'll beat a 350Z 0 to 60. But how does it handle? If you took that station wagon on the track it would get eaten alive by any real sports car. Plus look at it.....it's one of the ugliest cars on the road. I don't know about Subaru and the people who buy them they must be blind or belive that someone will acctually notice tha they blew 35K on an economy car? One last thing, you put a turbo on anthing with enough boost and it'll be fast, just try in on a Z.
