And I was just wondering how in the hell your Legacy is even relevant to this thread anyway. Last time I checked it was about the WRX not the All MIGHTY Legacy.
the legacy is in fact faster/quicker than the wrx...
we are just longer in size and heavier.
i brought them up cause you guys are too fan boi to know that subie has been severely under rating their cars for some time. 265hp NOW? ha!
you guys wanted to throw numbers around so i did too.
i said i was quicker than a speed 3 you all said impossible...i show dyno, you show dyno...i do not go reverse accleration after 5600 rpms. for me at 5600 rpms is close to 90 which is where i was pulling away. then you guys claim i can;t count my extra boost...i said really?? i have a 5 speed auto with a looong 3rd gear from 61-95 full tank of gas, 300lbs heavier and a passenger. less RATED stock hp and i can't even out the engine power?
one of you all claimed go cheap and mod. i said spend a few more and mod. which is what i did. i may go stage 2 next with a tmic. or simply bigger turbo/tmic/fuel.
on the street you never know who has what.
if i were you guys i would be more worried about the cobalt. it's built to fit the exact same slot as you guys and had already been shown to be a higher performer.
you want awd??? no other choice but a subaru. you want awd and 300+ awhp? get a modded subaru. i wanted awd...i got a subaru. will i mod? yes. do i care that you don't and lose? no. should be trying to race in the first place. fwiw i cruise at 80mph everywhere on the interstate. he was trying to block my pass and was failing...
in short...the speed 3 is nice for what it is. you guys can mod as well...do as you wish. it's your car.
keep in mind there are pros and cons to either...i prefer awd to straightline speed...you guys the latter. if i mod and take it all away then that's just life. but you will not be modding awd into the speed 3. you get mad cause i spent more money and that a rationalization for you...then you suck. again, that's just life.
give and take...
i will put money and say that 265 will be closer to 280 and will dyno at 235awhp. depending on the turbo...modding could yield 300 awhp.
