I know someone that has a 700hp mustang and it's a dyno queen, because the chassis is not designed to handle that kind of power and last time he took it on a dyno something else broke again.

Interesting thread & timely. We have 02S and an 05 Outback XT - upgraded suspension&brakes. After driving the S all summer we finally started the OBXT for the first time in 6 months after a blown turbo and my wife & I can not believe how much of a POS it feels like in comparison. Handling, fit & finish just does not compare. We cannot go back to Japanese now. We are selling it and looking for a Cayenne for our second car/winter rig.

BTW - daily driver S/weekly costco grocery getter. It is a practical sportscar.
