i'm just up 95 in fair hill. check the Bel Air board out, it's a lot of younger guys, but it's good for laughs. they have a lot of meets if you're looking to meet some more car guys.

I have a review of a forester XT(230hp) by european magazine, and it did 0-100km/h in 7.6 seconds... 350z by same magazine was clocked 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds...

Was that top gear acceleration? You can't really compare top gear acceleration between a turbo car and a NA car.

was that test done with an automatic transmission? the european XT also uses a 2.0 liter engine, not the 2.5 we have here.

You are right. I misread that. But the 0-60 time for a forester should be pretty similar to a 350z. Maybe better for a forester? Its up in the air after 60.

I like how the 350 Z looks but it can't do everything that a Forester XT can do. If the Z was a more practical car, I would have considered buying one. My Forester XT can hang with a Z on the street and then haul some groceries afterward.
If you bought a car to pick up girls, you are lacking in other places. Chop or not, the fact that some of the Z owners are riled up about an advertisement means they are worried they spent too much on a car that is challenged by a family car.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i like the looks of my XT.
i didn't buy my car to attract the other sex or to get noticed, but the most common thing people say about my car is "Wow, THAT's a Forester?!?"
