Subaru legacy gt
 

Subaru legacy gt routinely dyno at 193 whp, how does that stack up against the RX8? my brother has a 05 legacy gt stock and talk a lot of smack against rx8. he said he has smoked tons of rx8 already. please give me some input before i go race him (or not). I have a 05 rx8 6speed, RP supercat, Revi intake, borla exhaust, updated ecu flash....and waiting on the CZ unit.

thanks

0-60/ 1/4 mi? The 2004- 2007 Legacy GT is faster.

he has a 5 speed model. on the paper 0-60, 1/4 mile is similar...but that's on the paper (C/D source).

If it's a manual and your brother can drive you're toast.

Also, I don't know where you got that 193 number, it all depends on the dyno and that's a bit on the low side. A stock Legacy GT would dyno about around 20whp higher than the RX-8.

stock legacy dyno at ~192whp....(read the blue line), the highest stock dyno is 199whp (from their own legacygt.com)

Uhhh, plenty of Legacvy GTs have dynoed over 200whp, and 192 on a Mustang Dyno is much better than an RX-8.

im just to see how close it is.......plenty of legacy gt dyno OVER 200 whp...you mean like 201-202whp (yes, on dynojet)....how is that so much that he will "smoke" rx8?

It won't be a bad beating, but a beating none the less. That is if he can drive and you race from a dig. Race him on a hot day and go from a roll and you might be able to edge edge him out, but that's not really playing fair :)

he wants to race on the freeway, since he doenst want to "waste his clutch"

so what's playing fair? i personally think race from a dig (0-60) hardly depicts what a car can do. for example, evo MR has 0-60 faster than c55amg, but from 5-60mph, c55 is almost 1 seconds faster and will smoke it to 120mph (~7 seconds faster)

Your brother is silly for giving up that advantage so I hope you beat him. Launching a AWD turbo car is an absolute blast and your brother is missing out. I launched my WRX at least a few times a week and never had a single problem. I'm also not talking about racing 0-60, you two should find a local drag strip and have at it.

should i race him now ...(on the race legal certified freeway of course :uhh: ) or wait until i install the CZ unit?

my supra TT friend will video it....(..if i win) :uhh:

Maybe you should wait until he gets Cobb Stage 2... Just freaking race him and see what happens :dunno:

my brother is the type of person that will not race you again once its done, no matter what else u did. and he will talk smack even 50 years from now ie. hey, you remember we race 36 years ago..and i beat you..

i just dont want to leave a bad name for rx8, that's all

Just go and have fun safely, personally I knew a few turbo 8 that still lose to some other cars which it should have smoked.

my CZ unit should be here soon, but if i can take him now with the mods i have, i will do it now....

Like Ike was saying... on the highway (from a roll)... you have a chance... stock vs stock. If he's got any mods... particularly if he's gone Stage 2... you won't be have a chance without FI or N20.

just be safe bro! I'm interested in seeing the video and outcome.

again, i have borla cat, rp supercat, revi intake....from a roll, i can beat him?

no way.

sigh, maybe i just need to sell the 8. its such a disappointment

I'll spell it out for you...

I don't see TURBO CHARGER, SUPERCHARGER, or NITROUS in your list. What do you think the answer is?

How's it a disappointment? Because it's not made to be a 1/4 mile car? I love my car for what it is....I don't hate my car for what it isn't.

why the flip did you buy it? did you not test drive the daggum thing?? & why does your name have s2000 in it??

bye - don't let the door hit you on the way out.

sell it immediately and buy yourself a stoplight killer. that's all you care about obviously. maybe you should have done your research before buying the 8 and sinking all those useless mods.
