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
thanks

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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.
