Drive it like the Devil set you a-fire, emobob!

Come back & tease us with your mods, too! [Not that that kicker needs anything extra!]

Here is the other I mentioned.

Paul Mullets flying mini from the Fav MINI Photo thread. Not as impressive as some, but not bad considering it wasn't staged or taken by professionals.



If this posting is a problem with anyone, I will happily delete it.

This is maybe a little off topic but does anyone believe that the Forrester XT Turbo really goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds?

I mean, c'mon it has a weight of 3300, hp is 210, power to weight just doesnt support 5.3. I've heard that it was underrated at 210 but it would need to be around 330 to get low fives.

BTW this number comes from Car n Driver.

Thoughts?

If it's geared right and you wind the crap out of the engine, it may be accurate. With AWD, you can usually launch with higher revs than FWD or RWD cars.

I come from a multi-Subie family. My mother has owned two (85 and a 95) and my first real car was a used '82 4WD (w/ the 2-speed transfer case - no wussy AWD back then!
