Subaru's have NEVER, EVER been dyno queens.. which disappoints a lot of people. The drivetrain loss soaks up a lot of that power reading, yet the car is quicker on the tarmac than the figures indicate.

Same sort of deal with drag cars that run auto trans with big stalls.. that saps a lot of the power reading away, yet the cars are still blisteringly quick.
