LOL; a Forester did the same thing to me the other day. I could see the guy laughing when he went by me. That thing is practically an SUV! D'oh!

That forester comes with the STi engine, and with some simple mods would be a serious sleeper. Weight aside they could be really fast.

We are talking stock for stock. Unfortunately Warrtalons list is pretty accurate, minus some exotics you might come across.

ok im a mechanic, i went to school for it and not to mention i grew up in race shops, and i guarantee i know more about racing then you do, AWD was not "made" for dragracing, but then again cars werent really either, so that arument sucks, not to mention, you own the car and should know that AWD is entirely better on the launch, so you should do a search for your brain, because you have no facts, and you are getting OWNED, just like others. Now whats your response to that.

well, i kind of have to agree with him on some level here. for our purposes, AWD is fine. 10's, 11's, 12's... cool. but the fastest awd car in the world is what, in the 8's? FWD has that beat for god's sake

I guess people would do that then...that's just sad.

When I see the last gen mustangs, I always look for the cobra symbol 1st...then the GT, and I know I've seen some people with both...wow that's, just sad.

awd may not be as fast as some of the others but at the same time we can do it with more moving parts, more stuff to break and more technology, im not impressed by 8 second civics, im extremely impressed by 10 and 11 second DSM's, EVO's and WRX's, not flamin you just sayin. i think we have the best of both worlds. a fast FWD or RWD car is only meant for that, if i run 10's in my EVo (i dont but you know what i mean) i can then go to the store or on a road trip and im not gonna blow something up, the aforementioned others cant say the same
