Legacy Spec.B in R&T March issue...wow!

cribsguy · 02-11-2006, 06:01 PM

Sorry if this is a re-post.

Just picked it up last night. The Legacy 2.5 GT Spec.B trashed 6 other competitors (Volvo S40 T5, Infiniti G35x, Mazda Mazdaspeed6, Lexus IS 250, BMW 325xi and the Audi A4 2.0T) in a sedan AWD comparo. How about 0-60 in 5.1 secs? Yikes! I had no idea it was that fast. The only reason it pulled 2nd place was because the Audi had the asthetics going it for it. But the Spec.B ruled all the performance categories with a stock engine. Too bad the car is so bland looking. I wish they would have dressed it up in WR Blue or something to make it stand out. And we will only get 500 of them here in the U.S. (my dealer has 2). However, Burn-up makes a front spoiler that makes the Legacy look like the WRC STI. Very cool.

the styling on the legacy is really subdued, especially when compared to an sti (even more so with the '06 sti). the legacy in that link looks pretty badass. a bit different, but cool nonetheless.

Outside of BMW, thats my favorite sedan. I was at the track and there was a 05 Legacy GT there with just a Cobb stage 1 reflash done. He was cutting 13.80's all day.

These look so good, but they should be putting out 350 hp.
