2007 - X Premium - Low power on my Forester, but maybe I'm a dummy?

@LightlyDim As an ex-honda Civic 1992 owner, auto. I consider my 2001 Forester auto to be substantially more powerful. Powerful enough to pull a 3300lb trailer. But like mentioned above the engine is a big bore, short stroke engine. Similar to the Honda Civic. However, note that this is a very heavy vehicle. And the AWD system hides this power. I on purpose plugged in my FWD fuse and drove it around, WOW. It felt like a rocket off the line. Pull the FWD fuse and it's drives like a regular Subaru. I have to wonder if you're used to driving FWD vehicles or non-AWD vehicles.

Can you help me out with a link or tutorial for pulling the FWD fuse? I'm used to driving a RWD 333hp automatic Genesis and a RWD automatic Frontier mostly. And thanks for the feedback. This forum has been very helpful.
You have the MT - Manual Transmission, this FWD fuse does NOT exist in the MT. Only the AT-Automatic Transmission.
