I can't believe they would need any boost at all to get 210hp out of a 2.5L engine.

I usually don't go DAAAAAMMMMMMNN! for much but here it gets it. A 210hp, 3289 lb wagon beats a 227hp, 3085lb Sedan and a 3165lb WRX wagon in the 1/4 mile! I guess the 2.5 with 17hp less and 18 more ft of torque make a BIG difference!

Absolutely nothing!

But there is a BIG difference between chicks that like chicks and dykes.

Unlike Honda, most manufactuers don't like to milk an engine for all the hp it has.
