So, better turning. No brainer. But really, how many people are driving around and pulling 0.92g's out of their wrx on the streets? And lets not forget the difference in tires. Honestly, driven at max, the explorer st will probably outrun an average wrx driver.

y'all are nuts to discount vehicles like this just because of their size. You seem to forget that while added weight does hurt in "feel", that added weight gives additional grip because available friction is based on how much something weighs...
i discount it because it's a ford explorer and the SQ5 and X3 m40i exist.
