well they are both Subaru's LOL
The Foz weighs more and is currently no where near as torquee as the Lib so obviously no where near as quick. In terms of braking it is no where near the Lib but that will change once I bolt on the brembos. Handling wise its a bit closer to the Lib now with the coilovers and RSB mods added. Very direct feel to the road obviously and the power it does have is very direct now as well. I am getting ready to flash the ecu with a new tune and that should unleash some low to mid range torque as well as reduce the lag associated with the DBW throttle. The built in bluetooth and gps are nice additions that the Lib lacked but the stereo on the Foz is not as good as the Macintosh that came with the Lib. Styling wise inside its very similar to the Lib, ie same plastic materials used. Seats are similar in feel as well. More space obviously and very easy to fold seats down in the back and chuck lots of big stuff in which is a nice feature. Under the bonnet it looks exactly like the stock version of the TBSTI Lib without the name plate and number. The exhaust and muffler set up much the same, restrictive as hell. Same mufflers used in both stock formats...crap. Fixed that easily enough.
