And no, you can get it with a 5-speed.

The forrester was tested to run a 1/4 in 13.8 by motortrend or one of the major car magazines. Which is fast as hell for a big stupid half *** sport ute. but they said it still handled like any other forrester.
sloppy and top heavy, just like a drunk chick with implants (just the way i like em)

Anyhoo, I was just randomly starting trouble. One of the NASIOC guys with a 5-speed XT got challenged by a guy with an Evo. The Evo guy offered him a half second head start. Some of the XT's have been running 13.8's in the 1/4...

I do not believe any stock Forrester is running high 13's, maybe with bolt-on's.
I cannot wait for one to come play with my Typhoon. 
I am not running in the 13's though.

I was surpised to see that but I believe that the figure was 14.8. If you looked at the 1-100 and the trap speed that was posted, a 13.8 is impossible with a stock XT

Only "power mod" was a silencer removal which has been shown to do absolutely nothing to our cars...
It's basically the STi engine, with a 4.44 final drive, and only about 3300 lbs I think. It's not that surprising that it's this fast.
