While I feel your pain regarding bonehead, stupid, rude and downright dangerous drivers, it should be noted that the Forester has been available with same engine as the WRX, putting out well in excess of 200HP. With a light tune they're capable of running low 13s in the 1/4 mile. Obviously still no match for an SRT6, but far from 80hp.

Still, it's times like that when I wish I had a solid old Dodge 4x4 pickup - let the idiot driver be an idiot, and if I can't get out of their way, oh well.
