I guess the following is all made up then... huh?

Isn't the UK Spec Impreza STI underpowered compared to the US Spec?

Longblocks are IDENTICAL. I'm actually strongly considering a FXT. Because of the gearing, 350 whp WRX's go high 11's, it takes 450 whp in an STi to do it. If the tranny will hold, 500 whp in a FXT should go 10's

Big Cam · 04-25-2006, 02:51 PM

it was way to short of a clip., but still cool

Kaos · 04-26-2006, 02:31 AM

If it ever comes to the states I'll have to convince my wife to get it instead of a new minivan!

SnowMan · 04-27-2006, 10:26 AM

Awesome vid...and like SS said, very easy to convert a Forester XT into something very close to the Forester STi.

Trust me...I drive mine everyday.
