We don't get a car called a Mazdaspeed 6 here,
Is this the same vehicle?

Same car, Probably some small differences. Here a lot of folks are
calling it a grown up STI, but I see it more as a properly worked Ford
Taurus SHO, if you ever got any of those in your parts.
When it comes to quality I think that all of the Korean/Japanese/
German builders are working hard. The occasional problems are gonna
happen, especially with performance designs. My motto and anyone elses
with a brain in their head: "Don't Buy an American Car." The USA
builders have zero respect for the consumer overall and it shows.
After 45 years of driving mostly American cars even my old man had to
throw up his hands and drives a Subaru Forester XT Turbo. He's a happy
guy now with a wagon that can pull with a Vette and still get a lot of
antiques in the back.

Not a ZO6--not even close. I'm betting you've never driven one. If you
had, you'd still be smiling and sweating profusely. Scary fast and quick,
like a 1300cc sport bike.

Max, a 100% stock Forester XT does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and it takes
very little to get into the mid 4's. It's also AWD so the hook up is
pretty amazing. The Z06 can actually get under 4 seconds, so it's
pretty fast indeed. I would never buy a Vette because they still
aren't put together as well as a Kia Reo. Still, 190 MPH is pretty
amazing for any car and the Vette can do it...a whole lot faster than
even my 167 MPH top end Speed6. But in every day driving where it
sometimes snows, rains or the road is not track-smooth, the Vette has
drawbacks indeed.

So is the drivetrain more beefed up in the Forester turbo to handle the
extra torque generated by the turbo?

Don't think so.

If you drive it to take advantage of the engine you will pay for it with the
drivetrain.

Your warranty is void if you mod the car!

Moo ha ha!

Same system from the WRX. Pretty tough.

That depends on the mods.

It's even worse than that Scotty.

But they will never understand.

It's best to simply watch.

And whenever you can, urge them to buy even bigger and better.

It's a void that can never be filled.

A black hole of emptiness.

To be filled with even emptier, lost souls.
