okay here's another weird bit.. i rememebr hearing that a subaru forester set a 24-hour speed record back in '97.. i just looked into that (goddamn the internet is fantastic when you're drunk) and found that it did in fact do exactly that, but that its speed was significantly less than that of the ZR-1.. i just found out that the governing body which determines who breaks what record apparently placed the forester in a different class than the ZR-1.. oh well

okay i'm throughly trashed.. bye

Adam, you didn't really think a Forester could do over 174 mph did you? 180 KILOMETERS per hour is about 112 MILES per hour. Still not bad for 24 hours in a box on wheels. Now... I'll have a shot of whatever you're drinkin'!
Nitrous? Nah...even I'LL pass on that one.

Cheers, Ron.
