I had problems w/ my Legacy Outback and they told me that the way to get the coldest air is to put the fan on "3", the cold knob all the way to the left, and put the air control on recirculate. My Legacy is burgundy, they said that the darker colors are harder to cool.
I think you're in Jersey, these days it's too hot to be out in the car anyway, but you have to expect it to drag just a little.
I have a 98 OBS, and setting it up like above it works just fine, it'll take a few minutes, but eventually it'll cool down just fine.
If that doesn't work, have somebody check the charge to see if you need another shot of coolant.
Good Luck, and I'll probably see you Sunday in Englishtown.
I'm attaching some fair pix of my OBS for now.
