found this on another forum, that found this on nasioc: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2012292
this is one fast SUV doing high 13's on the quarter mile, and yes... this is faster than your WRX!

I wonder if he's ever played with a Forester? Hmm...
I'm pretty certain my wife would smoke him like an Alaskan salmon...
...and her Forester is an automatic!!

Subaru was here and did this 6 years ago, thanks.
BTW, since the ad doesn't tell you, the 1/4 mile time listed by C&D was 13.8 seconds - stock off the showroom floor.
Subaru has been going BACKWARDS since then, unfortunately. They've bloated up the Forester and the turbo model is only available with the automatic.
Not to say that the automatic can't be made to go fast, mind you - my wife has proof of that sitting in the driveway.

i think manufacturers need to stop adding more and more power to cars, especially to bigger cars like SUVs and such. i rather have a lighter car with less hp than a heavier car with more hp.
