Always interesting to see what people think is faster than a SyTy... or why they're so fun.

Who here is "Random Task"?

I love the people who talk trash about them. I remember working on mine and I started cursing about it and my dad says "at least you have a Typhoon to get pissed off about." It made sense to me.

**** Motor Week.0-60 in 5. Whatever? Was the parking brake on?

14.1 1/4? Yeah.

I know a bone stock 100% original Ty went 13.4 on it's second pass ever.

some guy was on there saying his subaru forester was better than a Typhoon and then someone posted this... :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

"You will never be mistaken for Lesbian driving the Typhoon. (not that there's anything wrong with that)".

The '04 Forester 2.5 XT Turbo was bad as ****,so I can see where his delusion comes from.

92 cockpump in the video still makes me laugh

hammerhead tries to give production number about how rare his forester is. right.

It's convenient on how he is using options (5 speed) to make his car rarer while comparing to to the full Typhoon production (Even still 4700 is still less than 5000 last time I looked).

Subaru made a lot more 04-07 Forester XT's (including autos) than Typhoon and Subaru easily made at least 50k+ 2.0L turbo in the 03-07 Forester/Impreza Chassis.

I also have a hard time believing a Forster XT turbo run low 14's high 13's stock. I am pretty sure the WRX of that generations would run those time, I suspect higher ride height, bigger wheels (maybe additional weight) would negatively affect the Forester 1/4 mile times.

Color me surprised:

From Car and Driver:
"The force-fed flat-four's combination of torque, gearing, and weight will get you a blazing 0-to-60 time of 5.3 seconds and a quarter-mile of 13.8 seconds at 97 mph" http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/subaru-forester-25xt-road-test-fast-scooby-page-3

Re: Motorweek review of GMC Typhoon... via Jalopnik

Hmm, I always assume the pre 2008 Forester XT got the 2.0L motor like the WRX did. I never knew they got the 2.5 turbo motor. I learn something new every day. At least I didn't stick my foot in my motor on Japolink.

Re: Motorweek review of GMC Typhoon... via Jalopnik

A guy I used to work with had a Forester XT.
He was a dirty hippie and the car was beat up and nasty from his snow boards and dogs, but I drove it a couple of times and it was fun as hell to drive around.

...never mind the fact that the Forester is ugly as hell. The same could be said about our trucks, but 20 years ago they were awesome... today, modernize the grill a lil bit and it's no boxier than today's range rover. Plus KBB says our trucks are worth more than the Forester of 07 so... I guess our glorified ugly POS's with slushbox trannys are better.

Re: Motorweek review of GMC Typhoon... via Jalopnik

Those Forester XT's are a badass platform that can get stupid quick.

That AWD turbo thing,ya know.

I'd want one over a Terminator Cobra.

I can't stand when people call them a slushbox. Thanks Top Gear :tdown:
