Aw im late in on a Subaru thread 
If it was an STi im not surprised. Ok its ugly to some, but they are 2.5l twin scroll turbo (not quite a twin turbo) and if it came through Litchfields, which is likely, it will probably have 330 bhp and similar torque - also 0-60 in 4.8 seconds
Its as quick as an STi PPP and I wouldnt facny an S against one.

Isn't there an STi version of the Forester thesedays? I imagine that could move a bit (by 4X4 standards, anyway!).....

Sounds like it's one of the old skool legacy saloons. Basically an even less attractive Impreza Turbo. If mildly modified, it could pull a few car lengths on an S2K.

But try it round corners
There are loads of uberwagens and steriod 4 doors that will cream an S in straight line.
More fool the S drive for trying it on

some drivers lose their bottle at x mph and seem to get annoyed by drivers of 'inferior' cars who don't
maybe this is what happened in the post from the other forum?

I once burnt off a TT (one exhaust) in my dad's Forester turbo. He was trying to overtake me on a slip road
It is a great car, unbelievably good round the bends for it's stance and weight, fairly quick, great for transporting dogs/drum kits/bass amps, and very quiet and comfortable.
It would be my beater of choice if it wasn't for the fact they are expensive second hand and very very thirsty in turbo form
