yeah lets see that thing take a corner (why dont we have an eyeroll smiley?). not to mention it has the aerodynamics of a brick. jeez the last thing this country needs is more car dealerships acting like 0-60 and 1/4 times are the end all be all of performance.

Actually they are very easy to make handle well, and even in stock form are better than many SUVS and cars on the road. There will be two of them competing at one lap, and the Cayenne is going to get whooped barring any DNFs. Don't be surprised if you see one of them best most of the cars in the field.

Please. I'm sure your car or almost any sports car would rape it in the twisties.
How well does it brake? What is the skidpad and 60 to 0? How does this thing compare to the Porsche?

It's lighter than the STi, has a detuned version of the STi engine and only weighs slightly more than a WRX wagon, it's a set of struts, springs, and tires away from whooping up on a stock WRX in any autox event even if you give the WRX the same upgrades. Basic mods (depending on your definition of basic) are netting 300+ whp.

How does it compare to the Porsche? Well, it will be in the same class as the Porsche for One Lap of America this year, which is why I mentioned it. even in stock form the XT is only a few tenths off the pace of the 90k Cayenne Turbo in the 1/4 mile. Stock for stock the handling doesn't compare, but that's a cheap fix for the XT. With the right driver it's going to be a force to reckon with in STX in autox this coming year.

STi Forester looks AWESOME!!!

I think STi's look butch. Love the look. My third car will definitely be an STi or an XT.

RX8 and STi or XT, I think, is the perfect combination
