Lagacy GT - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Libila · 2004-08-10, 08:22 PM

I had an opportunity to drive one of the 05 Lagacy turbos, and i must say i don't think it pulled as hard as my WRX. I know they're rated a 250hp, but i also know their a heavier car. Does anyone know what they weigh, or what the performance stats are? Is it faster than a WRX? Also what has anyone else had an chance to drive one, and what did you think?

Dam, Libila's computer has that dam auto login and it keeps screwing me up that last post was mine.

It's also got taller gears than the WRX. Did you drive the 5 speed or auto?

Nick Koan · 2004-08-10, 08:27 PM

Did you drive a Manual or an Auto? The curb weight of the LGT manual is 3355 which is 200 more then the manual WRX (if I recall correctly).

Its only 23hp more then the WRX, and with an extra ~200 lbs, I'll bet thats where you feel the power difference.

Plus it's quieter and less connected. I felt the same way when I drove it.

I felt the outback i drove was more connected. Better steering responce. The steering rack bushings/connection is actually different/upgraded with the 05 Legacies, not to mention a smaller wheel and revised steering ratio/gears.

The Lagacy i drove was a 5 spd. It was a really nice car, i bet with a few mods it would fly.

ism it true there is going to be a 350 hp outback coming out? seems like a lot of pony's for a stock 4 cylinder car.

Not true. Its 250hp, and its already out.

some fag at carson subaru said there was a 350hp outback coming out and it was going to smoke the STI and shit. i thought he was full of crap the whole time

There will be a 350-hp Legacy and Outback coming out. 2006 I believe, but might be 2007.
