The forums say (i know - but this is my best citation [rolls eyes]) the Legacy was too slow/too heavy and the next WRX 'fixed' the dismal performance of it. Can you sink enough $ into a LGT to get to a WRX-performance? Yes. But why would you?
I just sayin'... do so some more research first.
That is a gorgeous Volvo man! I'd rock that without a second's notice. Always had a softspot for family cars with some aggression issues....lol.
Hope all beyond that is well for you man!
