My 2007 Subaru Legacy GT Spec B

edkwon · November 23rd, 2006, 01:01 AM

Here's the watered down american version of the japanese B4, and currently the only USDM legacy turbo with the sti 6 speed gearbox, altho the gearing has been made taller and less aggressive, plus it has the bilstien supension standard on the regular JDM Legacy GT but not the japanese Spec B, oh well can't have it all, but here it is:

Kickass vehicle man. I love it. It's always nice to see something other than a WRX.

andyhui01 · November 23rd, 2006, 01:59 AM

btw... the Americans don't get the facelift for the Legacy in 2007?... but very very nice car, I've always loved the Legacy.

That's what I'm thinking as well. The facelift is quite nice....don't the yanks get it?

So edkwon - how do the different modes on SI-drive feel? Reviews I've read say that there a huge difference in it but it's okay.

Ahh. No thanks. It's looking too much like the horrid Toyota Camry.

nope, americans are hoping the facelift will appear in 08. but we'll always have the screwed up looking long snout bumpers because of stupid DOT craash spec regulations on front and rear bumpers making them longer than the japanese or european counterparts.

It doesn't look bad, but I think I still prefer the current bodystyle. I just want Subaru's to stay utilitarian and almost rugged in appearance. I'd hate to buy a Subie and be afraid of scratching it.

Vette Boss · November 23rd, 2006, 06:35 AM

I like the look of it as well, looking sharp in grey. 8)

There is definitely a noticeable diff from S (sport ) = default ECU mode to S# (sharp) which is a more aggressive map, you feel boost and torque come on much more quickly with light presses of the pedal leading to same peak torque and power, peak boost is unchanged as well. Basically S# is the way the car should be all the time.

I (intelligent) retards boost, with lower peak torque and power and feels like the stock 2.0 WRX engine has been dropped into the heavier legacy body, definitely more sluggish.

I switch modes all the time but honestly dont know how much difference it makes.

Thank you, i love the color and wheel combo, i plan on doing a few more things visually to sharpen it up but they will be subtle visual mods, i prioritize handling and braking first, then maybe power upgrades several months from now when i feel like it. Right now the car is plenty fast for my day to day needs.
