You've got to be the most settled driver that I've ever seen. You drive like your having fun, which is very strange these days. Whenever I race people they get mad if they lose. Me I don't care about losing or winning, I go to the drag strip to have fun and meet good people, hopefully make a few friends. Keep up the great work my friend.
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.
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 :) .
you gotta love sleepers! Foresters just play the part so well, and the new gen XT doesn't even have the scoop. I wish I could put that engine in my 2013 Impreza lol! Nice video
Loved my '09 FXT so much me and my wife bought a '14 WRX. Only had 20K miles on it. Love everything about it! They can be a little touchy on maintenance but I dont care! Nothing beats the Subie AWD system
:”) 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
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
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 👍🏽
I couldn’t decide between one of these and an 05-09 Outback XT. Finally went with an 07 outback XT 5 speed. Not sure I will ever make it this fast but look forward to getting it around 300HP.
One of the keys to winning a roll-on is being the first one to the agreed speed & being the first to nail it once you reach the agreed speed, and let the *other guy* play catch up - *if* he can.
The FXT is a true sleeper for the unwary. You proved it with very convincing fashion. Great driver, sleeper machine that is the ultimate fulfilment for a true car guy. Great job. Keep up the great work! .By the way i am a proud owner of a 08 xt sport. I have subscribed!
Hahahahah wicked! I have a 2005 Mazda demio 1.5L with a turbo as my sleeper it probably only makes 250hp but that's more than double the stock power and it hauls ass hahaha
hey bud are you on the stock 5 speed too? and unopened motor i assume? E85 or pump fuel? Planning on upgrading the turbo on my 06xt, was going to go VF34 or VF48 but maybe i should go aftermarket! Great video!
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? 😂
I wonder how useful those power upgrades are for off-road use. I've seen a lot of Forester XT off-road videos, but almost never ones that feature increased power output.
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.
I almost bought a Legacy GT in another state. It broke down on me 1h 43min into my trip. I was cruising and I didn't realize my turbo took a shit on me sometime after I left the Subaru dealer. They gave me a full refund and sent someone out to tow the car back. I have a non-turbo 03 Forester. It was so easy to drive! First time on the test drive I was rev matching. Such a comfortable car. It's a fun project. I really did want an XT just because it's the perfect Subaru sleeper, but they're impossible to find. I'm happy with what I have though. I love both. The S2000 is getting a much needed rest. I'm having fun doing a bunch of DIY on the Forester that I would never do on the S2000. Eventually I'll put up some track videos once I'm caught up with the maintenance.
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. :)
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 😂
U sure thats 400hp that seems silly fast 😂👌 my forester sti is currently in for a forged build that will be capable of upto 700hp safley... This video has got me very excited to get mine back ran in and remapped
I wish Subie would put a 2.0T or 2.4T in the 6spd Crosstrek. A 2.0S would be neat for offroading, but MPG would likely tank. 4Low would be better, but then the low plastic bumpers would have to go.
I just bought a 2006 Subaru Forrester and damn that thing goes I did not expect that you really have to drive one to understand and my boyfriend has a V-8 crown Victoria and I’m pretty sure I will beat him LOL

Keeping making these, they are a pleasure to watch!
Have a 2015 forester xt cvt, my wife's car. I love driving it to the gas station. quick for stock. Takes me an hour to get gas. Fun fun fun
Hey that's me getting gapped at 6:38 😂😂 Love the car man!

I fucking love foresters. Nice stuff man!
Love the vid. I have a forester s turbo and will never get rid....puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.
great vid and races! just the video i needed to see. thank you!
Geez that sounds good! Great vehicle, man. I really enjoyed the videa, especially as a Subaru owner.
My guy, you have a serious race-face xD I love it!
fav car on the internet right now
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
That's a great sleeper. It did a great job!
looks like a fun day. was not expecting the rematch with the 300sx to be that close!
That's just a badass sleeper , you got a new subscriber, too 😎 cool
Your Fozzy out there kicking ass and taking names haha
Great car, great results and a good driver!
Zorionak!
Love the video man! These FXTs can be a pure sleeper too ;)
Wow love this video. And love your Forester.
Awesome races!
lol I waited a year to see that toaster hall ass again and it was worth the wait
That was awesome!!!! bet you surprise a ton of people on the roads in that thing!
Badass. I've been wanting one of these as a daily for a while now
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.

I have an XT and love it! Great video! Now subscribing
watching all these cars taken by SUV! ;d haha funny.. btw. I love my Forester!..
Me too.
Even stock, it can surprise a lot of other cars.
The ultimate sleeper lol in my opinion every subie has potential for a great build! great job man👍🏼😄
WOW. really surprised me. Sweet ride!
Thanks man!
Awesome stuff!
Damn bro this is sick. Cant wait to start building my outback
Great car!
love your videos, definitely deserve more subs
Thanks man! I need to make some more videos apparently lol
thats awesome, wagon kicking some ass. I wanted one bad right before I found my wrx wagon
Just awesome to see a slow looking car like that kick some serious ass!
So awesome dude nice video 🔥
Thank you for posting a LEGAL racing clip! Looks like a lot of fun!
Holy shit it stayed door to door with a hellcat 😂 god I love this thing
I couldn’t decide between one of these and an 05-09 Outback XT. Finally went with an 07 outback XT 5 speed. Not sure I will ever make it this fast but look forward to getting it around 300HP.
Don’t you ever sell that thing either
Wow, that's awesome man! If my Legacy station wagon lasts long enough, maybe I'll be able to do something similar. Haha good stuff.
Awesome, gotta love Subaru.
Nice pulls man! I need to swap in a 5mt and ditch my 4eat. I Love my 05xt otherwise. Glad to see ur fozzy reppin at the track

Oh man this is a confidence booster for me I got a vf39 stage 3 04 Forester XT with a couple bolt ons at about 300 wheel horsepower
dont forget to upgrade the suspension and brakes!

You look like Ben shapiro
Not bad the ultimate sleeper I love it I think the look good too
I just started building a 04 forester xt. Looking forward to getting into sone fun mods.
So unassuming... Tan interior and all!
I know it's less wear & tear to do rolling starts, but I would have liked to see you hall from stand still. You would probably win even more pulls.
Another forester channel to subscribe to. nice toaster!
Nice xt! Those things are beasts when modded
Hahahahah wicked! I have a 2005 Mazda demio 1.5L with a turbo as my sleeper it probably only makes 250hp but that's more than double the stock power and it hauls ass hahaha

waste gate noises
Forester needs a serious driver mod
I love my fozzie more than a dog i aint got.
God work
Holy that 300zx seemed like it wanted to pull nice but needs some new tires
In fact .... you have to compare the same cars ... that subaru is awesome...
Keepin up with that Hellcat must have made that guy feel stupid for buying that car lol. Awesome car man
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

the hellcat with bring a premium in a few years.... that subaru will be worth nothing compared to the hellcat. dont compare cars.
ha, i know you now. ysho been whorin your car out on the wot log thread. love how the front end goes up and down on the sleeper suspension

Hell yeah man !
loving that forester!!
is the foz protuned after the new blouch turbo?
Danielitocorazonsito It is BROtuned. :)
Bought a 06 forester the other day, not an xt but things cool as hell non the less lol
Great fun! Do you have any 1/4 or 0-60 times available? B¬)
As current S2000 owner and a future SG Forester owner I love this video. I fucking love this car.
Ito Ke and here I am wanting to sell my sh for a s2k ! World is cruel... got the foz for the fam and some fun but deep down I want that weekend car

That s2k had a great soundtrack
It's fully boltons and custom tuned at least huh..?
Very nice by the way man!
My LGT wagon makes around 450whp at the moment. I am dropping in a fully built block and doing some head work now. You should check it out.
Subaru: im here to kick but and eat candy and im all outta butt wait I mean -
Love them Forester AKA FoZzy
You should do the same race using the same Subaru with HHO installed.
I have HHO installed in my stock 2001 Forester and it has a bit more power.
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. :)
Missin my old XT after watching this 😭
I LOVE sleepers!
I'm up in years and had a lot of good performing cars. But the most enjoyment were the sleepers 👍
that 300zx was fighting traction it looked like was it the the vg in it?
Sheesh! This car is such a sleeper! Stock suspension and transmission? Imagine how much faster if you upgraded this 2 things...
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 😂
U sure thats 400hp that seems silly fast 😂👌 my forester sti is currently in for a forged build that will be capable of upto 700hp safley... This video has got me very excited to get mine back ran in and remapped
700?? 😲👌🏻
@@RamonNunezRey it will be capable of it, I won't be running that tho 😂😂
It made 370whp on a Mustang Dyno. :)

Nice to see another FXT going fast. Are you coming to Subaru Nationals at the end of September in Byron, IL?
:) I doubt it, but it sure sounds like fun!
I wish Subie would put a 2.0T or 2.4T in the 6spd Crosstrek.
A 2.0S would be neat for offroading, but MPG would likely tank. 4Low would be better, but then the low plastic bumpers would have to go.
Did you get anymore track videos this summer? I have been dying to see your FXT gap some more people = )
Fast ass subi man.. wanna turbo mine
This is sweet. So is the point of the rolling start to not be so hard on the tires and engine?? That forester got a workout that day.
Beast Fozzy
Yeah buddy🤘

Diggin your xt, wondering what mods you have done to it.

the turbo s200 and the Forester XT were so close lol
I had an 00' Outback Sport with a WRX engine swapped embarrassing many cars including STIs.
Center diff bearings????
That BMW looked like a 1M.
nice FXT!
