He is stupid so whats it matter. If I were going through all that work I would pick the Forester shell over the 2.5 all day especially considering weight to power advantage and the fact that it still isn't all that common. Finding a low buck first gen that hasn't been beat to hell is a lot easier than a 2.5 and insurance will be dirt cheap...but underneath the skin it is all STi.

You sure about those curb weight differences? The Forester is a much smaller platform than the IW is, doesn't make sense if thats the case.

From wikipedia:
GC impreza = 2690 (not sure if thats a wagon or sedan)
1st gen forester = 3150
:edit: I think the forester and the impreza are both the same platform, but the forester just has more sheet metal and windows tacked on

forester/impreza/outback. All the same platform. The forester got different shocks/struts for a bit more ride height, and obviously bit different in the body.

Weird I wouldn't have guessed...of course I never asked either.
