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.
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 :) .
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
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
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
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!
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.
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 👍🏽
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
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.
and this is why i drive one. the look on the faces of x5m drivers attempting an overtake priceless. the tears of ricers refreshing and delicious. =@-🚐💥💥🔥🔥💨
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 😂
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. :)
zero attention is good i dreive an old lagacy (1994) with almost 380 HP and beat every posing dude in his VW GTI or something :D thats fun an in germany we could drive fast on almost every road so i dont have to go on a track for that :D
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
Rather buy a forester than a Mustang or Cadillac. I got my first car today. A 97 forester 2.0. 5 speed manual 122hp. I love it. The exhaust has a little hole so you can hear some rumble 😂😂
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!
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
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.
How many miles on that stock motor? Trying to decide whether or not I should push my forester to 300-325whp at 140k...great compression and leak down but still worried.
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.
The first Mustang race, he did bitch move. Kept slowing down behind you, making you slow down..then he takes the hit as he's already going speeding up. Bitch-move.
Haha, nice! :D I have a 2000 Xploder (Explorer) 5.0 AWD that at one point had an STS remote mount turbo setup.. unsuspecting for sure, like this lol :)

Don’t you ever sell that thing either
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.
I fucking love foresters. Nice stuff man!
looks like a fun day. was not expecting the rematch with the 300sx to be that close!
Holy shit it stayed door to door with a hellcat 😂 god I love this thing
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.

Your Fozzy out there kicking ass and taking names haha
That's a great sleeper. It did a great job!
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.

Love this Forester!! Keep it up man this is great!!
Keepin up with that Hellcat must have made that guy feel stupid for buying that car lol. Awesome car man

the hellcat with bring a premium in a few years.... that subaru will be worth nothing compared to the hellcat. dont compare cars.
That was awesome!!!! bet you surprise a ton of people on the roads in that thing!
That's just a badass sleeper , you got a new subscriber, too 😎 cool
So unassuming... Tan interior and all!
Damn bro this is sick. Cant wait to start building my outback
Subaru: im here to kick but and eat candy and im all outta butt wait I mean -
The ultimate sleeper lol in my opinion every subie has potential for a great build! great job man👍🏼😄
Awesome, gotta love Subaru.
Love the video man! These FXTs can be a pure sleeper too ;)

Awesome races!
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!
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.
Thank you for posting a LEGAL racing clip! Looks like a lot of fun!
thats awesome, wagon kicking some ass. I wanted one bad right before I found my wrx wagon
I love my fozzie more than a dog i aint got.
God work
great vid and races! just the video i needed to see. thank you!
Not bad the ultimate sleeper I love it I think the look good too
I have an XT and love it! Great video! Now subscribing
You look like Ben shapiro
I just started building a 04 forester xt. Looking forward to getting into sone fun mods.
Nice xt! Those things are beasts when modded
In fact .... you have to compare the same cars ... that subaru is awesome...

Dalton Carter I would probably drop sticker for a an M3 or M5 though tbh 😂
Forester needs a serious driver mod
waste gate noises
Holy that 300zx seemed like it wanted to pull nice but needs some new tires
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.
That s2k had a great soundtrack
love your videos, definitely deserve more subs
Thanks man! I need to make some more videos apparently lol
Great car, great results and a good driver!
Zorionak!
Another forester channel to subscribe to. nice toaster!
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 😂
Good stuff. The Forester is probably one of the worst platforms for roll racing. I was very surprised by the Hellcat run.
Whatever, Subaru totally designed them for roll racing! That's why they're so aerodynamic! lol
WOW. really surprised me. Sweet ride!
Thanks man!
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
Great car!
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. :)
you gotta go on a public highway and troll people. it would be funny and make a lot of views
I try! the car gets zero attention on the road though. :(
Just a Wagon I think that's part of the appeal though, super unsuspecting
zero attention is good i dreive an old lagacy (1994) with almost 380 HP and beat every posing dude in his VW GTI or something :D thats fun an in germany we could drive fast on almost every road so i dont have to go on a track for that :D

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 was hurt the first couple races. And personally feel like 40mph is a little too much for that second gear
Hell Cat dusted- WOW!
Love them Forester AKA FoZzy
Sweet runs btw
The first Mustang race, he did bitch move. Kept slowing down behind you, making you slow down..then he takes the hit as he's already going speeding up. Bitch-move.
Did you get anymore track videos this summer? I have been dying to see your FXT gap some more people = )
So I'm guessing you're rolling start is from 40mph? How do you know when to launch?
Yep, most of them were 40 rolls. If you look close, there are orange start cones where you floor it.
Haha, nice! :D I have a 2000 Xploder (Explorer) 5.0 AWD that at one point had an STS remote mount turbo setup.. unsuspecting for sure, like this lol :)
I have never seen this type of racing before. How do you know when punch it? The car sound great! Thanks for the video.
