So, instead of the mini... how about a Vishnu tuned Forester XT?

Forester XT with a vishnu stage 2 type setup... Lowered, wheels (18s)... and painted camo. Stipped interior, weld in roll cage...

That is, if Subaru doesn't screw me with my current car!


Thoughts? How strong are those motors?

The only thing that doesn't strike my fancy is the camo, but I think even that might grow on me. The motor is just as strong as an STi motor because it is an STi motor. You have my vote.

I think that's a better choice than a mini.
so +1

I may be biased...

but as site admin for subaruforesterdotcom, I'd have to say that you should go check out some of the rides there. Putting ~300 to the wheels, and some are placing even more.

damn, so your engine really did blow up?

That sucks man!

It would be different to have a forester XT all pimped out. =) Dont even see that many foresters running around here in San Jose.
I am not sure how they are concidered an SUV, but hey if I had to get an SUV, the XT would be it!

Vishnu-tuned?

lol

Why don't you just hand the Forrester right over to the dealership, considering how many STi's Bay Area dealerships have with blown motors from Vishnu??

Daniel, go for the Forester XT and run a VF34 set up w/ Up/Downpipes. The Perrin WRX swaybar/ HD mouns bolts right on the Forester XT along w/ STI suspension. It's going to be so cool seeing a Forestet XT pulling on unsuspecting drivers
