It's supposed to be fun! I don't car if I lose. :)

Steve Blanks they need to take themselves less seriously

Us Subie guys and gals are great people. 45 and been a gear head forever. Hot rod guys get all butt hurt but the Subie love is contagious and we throw HUGE events all over the US. Come check one out, you will be sold!

I mean he’s keeping up with cars in a vehicle that was never supposed to be fast. That’s fun and a win in anyone’s book. Plus Subaru’s are meant for the twisties, not straight line speed.

I’ll race anything in anything, just to see it or hear it 💯

:)

stock 230hp here. Not afraid to admit it. Im also not stupid enough to throw parts at this engine, since its old. I plan on getting a 60k engine from JDM warehouse when this one goes and building that...

@Code Ultimate the 2.0 can handle more boost then the 2.5xt because thr 2.0 has a thicker block and overall stronger internals . Go dyno it and you will get good hp gains :) .

@@JustaWagon have you driven an xt with the 4eat back to back with your car? How much different do they perform?

@@Steven-cn9jg is there a way to tune the transmission for later shifts, or high stall converter?

Schwifty Get *comes along a Evo X*

:”) I’m driving a blue 09FXT rn. Thing is wicked fast. Can’t believe it eats up supercharged Mercedes, Sti’s and 5.0 Mustang GT’s for breakfast. I find it very hard to believe the manuf. rates them at 224hp @ the crank. Am I right or is that bs

Correct

Thanks man! Good race!

Hahah was the car surprisingly quick in person? Also I'm a big jdm fan never been a huge enthusiast for American muscle but I have respect for them because my father had a 69' Camaro ss yenko as well as a 10' viper srt, I'm telling you this because I dig your camaros look even though I'm not a big fan of the car itself. Cheers

Got passed by a family of 4 and a dog 😂

I hope that wasn’t your girl in the passenger seat

u were my favorite! ;_;

Who killed it?

Thanks, As fun as the car was it was a money pit man, had to move on.

David Mudrik what way

Me too. Even stock, it can surprise a lot of other cars.

Don’t you ever sell that thing either

They're great daily drivers! I do 35,000 a year on my 2003xs. Just swapped in a JDM ej203 last year at 305,000 miles. It's carried 1000lb loads of cat food, hay and feed for the horses and rescue cats from shelters. Of the 7 subies I've owned since 1984, this one is my favorite by far.

@@buckykattguitar great to hear. Picked up a low mileage 2003 2.5X two years ago. Currently sitting at 44k miles and it’s been a great daily especially in the snow 👍🏽

Thanks man! I need to make some more videos apparently lol

Thanks man!

dont forget to upgrade the suspension and brakes!

Because it's rarely very helpful. Turbos create power in a way that is mostly not useful for off-roading. It's much better to have a torque curve that slowly increases. Probably the most useful forced induction for an off-roader would be an electric supercharger, because you would have a lot of flexibility in how it engages.

eggnogg5 lol

Lol and with about half the power

eggnogg5 I disagree , car guys can appreciate any build. Whether or not he came out and admitted it the hellcat respects the wrench time in this Forester. FYI the guy in the HHR is probably saying the same thing about the Forester

In the end its all power to weight and traction. if the HC was stock, he has less rubber on the pavement driving the tires than the Subi, with 300 more hp, and 1000lbs more. most Hellcats on the stock all seasons won't hook until 80mph, maybe. with traction on, it cuts power and applies brake - so you won't even see black strips... not to mention - black key or red key and fuel choice? 😂

the hellcat with bring a premium in a few years.... that subaru will be worth nothing compared to the hellcat. dont compare cars.

Danielitocorazonsito It is BROtuned. :)

:) I doubt it, but it sure sounds like fun!

Dialysisforever if you look close there is a set of orange start cones where you hit it.

I see them now.. Thanks.

Hai

yamahaSHO ;)

Yep, most of them were 40 rolls. If you look close, there are orange start cones where you floor it.

I don't know what that is.

It's not really worth bothering with it, especially since your limiting factor is keeping the stock motor alive as the turbo you have can make a good bit more power than you're already making. :)

Blouch 20G XT, EWG, ELH, turbo back, intake, E85, and some tuning. 400whp is extremely easy when you have E85 available.

Thanks! Omaha, NE

I'm at 108K right now and this video was taken after I took the car on a 1500 mile road trip. :)

Just a Wagon what's the setup..I have a vf48, gs ewg upipe/tial 38mm, 2015 sti tmic, aem 320, id1000, and a gs 3port that have been sitting in my room forever...already have turbo back and ap.

www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f115/matt-s-06-fxt-273514/

That would help tremendously!

I agree. Watching that wasted energy every shift lol. I have an 05 Forester, about to try for 500whp. And after your video, and some nice weather, I may go install my greddy suspension right now 😂

MidwestTuner it is!

Just a Wagon Very cool, hope to see the XT at ICC this year. Sleeper XT gets down huh.

I'm up in years and had a lot of good performing cars. But the most enjoyment were the sleepers 👍
