An oldish Legacy is the choice of the truly landed gentry around here

Jim - just give up. You just pour nonsense onto your pile of BS. You drive a car my wife learned to drive in aged 17 (except hers was new). You drive a car that was once considered good but is now all but dead. It's a 6s to 60 car at the very best and yours is so old, it will be tired and under claimed power anyway. Your magic turbo probably just pushes it to "stock" power.

Even the proper STI version only has 170bhp/tonne (and 260ish bhp in total) compared to my 225. Unfortunately the A45 is not listed on Fastest Laps (the coupe version is) but it's even faster.

You live in dreamland - give up now. You're like a defeated boxer that keeps trying to get back up.

A new STI - similar performance to mine.

So we'd both completely kick your backside on half throttle.

Because the only way you'd have a chance of keeping up (very briefly) is by slipstreaming.

You lot are the ones who need to give up! I haven't been defeated yet? My car is 10yrs old so your mrs would've struggled to learn in one of these.
I don't really know why you're all stressing so much and so much disbelief.
My car has been modified with more than just a turbo and is running approximately 320bhp,standard it would be 220bhp,thats half the power again! The wrx being a reasonably fast car as standard,is an incredibly fast car modified,with like i say,half the power again!
If i told a non subaru enthusiast that i can race cars that come from the factory with twice my power,i would expect them not to believe me,but when i talk to others that modify these things,i can't understand why you all find this so hard to believe!

I would buy another Subaru if it had a 3.6 flat 6 with a jag from twin VF35, ZF 8 speed and an interior like a recent Lexus. Pigs are more likely to not only fly, but enter orbit and build a space station.

Labrador or golden retriever in the back, and a bracing walk in Richmond park (the pen ponds) after Sunday lunch

Most the time im on here late or when i wake up and not a big Internet person really! Been on here more lately than ever though. Plus you did butt in mid conversation with me and matteboy and he had mentioned previously for me to prove it,to which i replied the same,then you butted in! I didn't even notice the name was different

How much is your car worth? It would be a waste of money if you lose yours

Getting warmer, you'll have to look on Nasioc at the handling and dynamics.

To be fair you'd probably have bioforger's car as it would probably blow up if he pushed it hard it being a chocolate 2.5
