haha. Hardly an indicator of its acheivable topspeed. If you were living in Brisbane then possibly.

XT is an EJ257 with a td04.

EJ255 Higher compression but fugg all boost. they only run around 11psi in the fozza

My basis is weight + power.

1500kg + 100kw@w?? (Tristans nugget mananged 120kw@w.)

If the final drive is 3.9 and 5th gear is 1.1

Similar kind of values to my old 2.2 gx which topped out at 180kmh (it was 1200kg and about 75kw.)

H6 is 180kw at the flywheel. thats easily 120kw atw. final drive is around 3.54 due to the 6spd i'm pretty sure, it would tick over 200 kph no hassles. it is a 6pot..

Tristan's Carsales ad states 200kw and 13 sec 1/4 mile.

Linky

Advertised as a P-plater car too???

I did say it was 120kw alex. I wasn't sure on the exact final drive obviously. I'm only guestimating I never said any of it was exact. Just an educated guess. And LOL at 200kw+ plate friendly.

[Adam]

I Lold also.

[Soop]

Kids a lost cause.

Hopefully it doesnt fool anyone, Though i guess he can quote numbers all day, in the end its how it drives.

[Soop]

At the end of the day its a 12yr od Gen2 worth MAYBE 5k.

Hi,

Luckily I live on a property well big enough to max out the car without being on a public road, so my assumptions are quite well founded.

I don't think we've come anywhere near answering the OP question though. Sorry mate!

Cheers,

Hi, Thanks for ya help. I knew it was more of a cruiser. I was just wondering. Set up for cruising but still capable of a bit of fun. This probs a silly question but is it P-plate friendly? Cheers

XT is an EJ257 with a td04.

257 is an STi motor.

Forester XT is nothing anything remotely close to comparison to an STi.

Hi, No idea about NSW mate, but I have no reason I can think of why not? Only thing that is against being a 'first car' is the fuel consumption and you have to put 95 or better in her. Cheers, Nik

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Thanks for your help.

Yeah its P-plate friendly. Frankly fug paying for 95ron and getting 37hp in return.

[Morgan]

For the record, Top speed would be around 180-200kmh maybe?

Ive gotten $1.80 out of my 2.5

[Soop]

I got it out of my 2.2 Size of the motor makes exactly dick difference. Its all about the gearing.

[skillionaire]

Hi, Has a bit to do with how much a tool you are on public roads aswell. You'd be a special little smiley face if you chuck 91 in all day long. Cheers, Nik
