I notice that most of the new car guides are no longer listing 0-60 times
in their listings of new models. Does anyone happen to know what range the
Outback Sport Wagon has (auto/manual) for a 0-60 time in the 2004 model?
I'd like to know how it compares to the turbo in the WRX wagon.

Thanks.

The Outback Sport should get pretty much the same numbers as a TS since it's
the same car with a few suspension tweaks and different trim.

The TS Wagon and 2.5 RS:

Top speed : 130 mph
0-60 mph : 7.9 sec.(manual), 8.6 sec.(auto)
0-¼ mile : 15.9 sec @ 89.0 mph(manual)
60-0 braking distance : 125 ft
200 ft skidpad : 0.82 g

0-¼ mile : 14.4 sec @ 94.3 mph
60-0 braking distance : 130 ft.

I don't see how the TS and RS can be the same. They
have different gearing, the RS being geared lower
than the TS. OBS and TS should be close.
