and I see this car, looks like a cross between a SVT contour and a 4 door focus, with HIDs two lanes over at the light, light goes green and zoom its hauling ass. well i wasnt driving so I couldnt catch it, but about 5 miles later we caught the light again at the same time and I see its a damn legacy GT. LOL

those things are fucking quick 5.1 sec to 60 with a manual and a damned blast to drive if i may say so myself

(i like sleepers)

10/25/2005 10:12:34 PM

5.1? hmmm...

10/25/2005 11:18:46 PM

STI motor with a smaller turbo methinks

10/25/2005 11:48:48 PM

methinks i'm calling BS on the 5.1. unless the advertised times and power have changed since i was looking into buying one.

10/25/2005 11:49:37 PM

5.7sec C&D

10/25/2005 11:59:41 PM

i dont even care about the 0-60 times in an awd

how could it possibly be slow

10/26/2005 1:57:23 AM

all i know is i might not have caught him in my car, and if i did he probably would have walked me.

I test drove one two weeks ago. it was quick and very entertaining, but I don't know about 5.1 seconds. I think its rated at 250 hp whereas the 06 wrx w/ the 2.5L is 230 hp. I have read on some subi forums (the non lesbian ones) that the turbo engines do seem to make more power after a few thousand break in miles.

10/26/2005 7:40:58 AM

thats probably 5.1 with a huge clutch dump

10/26/2005 8:57:21 AM

Yes, with AWD launch , 5.1 sounds reasonable... in the 02-05 WRX I've heard 5.4 sec. (with clutch droppage of course).

Go ahead and do that with the one you buy and see how long the transmission/clutch lasts.

10/26/2005 9:36:55 AM

The new Legacy is a pretty nice car, at least IMO.

10/26/2005 10:05:45 AM

their transmissions are week but the car is geared so it doesn't matter they don't handle hardly any torque... thats why they all run high 4.** rearends


ohh and c&d tests the most popular model of family cars usually which won't be the 5 speed

10/26/2005 12:39:15 PM

they're nice looking cars, if a little nondescript




I thought they weren't turbo'd though?

10/26/2005 1:00:36 PM

3 engines I think: turbo 2.5 L, n/a 2.5 L, H6 250hp

TURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBO

10/26/2005 1:05:05 PM

its de-boosted the cam,crank,pistons are all the same but it doesn't run nearly the boost of the sti.

the forrester xt is actually faster

10/26/2005 1:41:50 PM

an FP Green or 50 trim would cure all its ails
