Guest turbotuner Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone knows what's up with the new XT. I just about cried in joy when I saw the new Subaru/Lance Armstrong commercial with this car! So, it's a 2.5L just like the STI but, it has less HP than the WRX? I know the STI runs crazy high boost but, why is there significantly less HP than the 2.0L WRX? Damn subaru, making thier freakin underpowered cars! 210 HP and 230-somethin' FtLbs of torque!?! Hmmm, I just graduated from college and hooked up a high paying job....XT here I freakin' come! Later guys, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Legacy777 Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 The internals of the turbo forester and sti are different, but the big reason hp numbers are lower is boost is probably lower. Crank boost up a little, and hp numbers will be much better. The forester with the 2.5 turbo will probably beat the WRX off the line since it's got gobbs more torque.
