Well I just got the new C & D, and they did a test on the Turbo forester. Here are the results:

0-30 mph: 1.3 seconds
0-60 mph: 5.3 seconds
0-100 mph: 15.0 seconds
1/4 mile time: 13.8 sec @ 97 mph
Top speed: 129 mph governor limited

70-0 mph breaking: 184 ft

This is of course with the 5-speed transmission. I may be wrong, but doesn't this beat the stock WRX? C & D did a similar road test on the WRX and came up with these figures:

0-60 mph: 5.7 seconds
0-100 mph: 17.3 seconds
1/4 mile time: 14.5 sec @ 93 mph
Top speed: 145 mph governor limited

70-0 mph breaking: 188 ft


This is the same magizine doing the tests.
