Wipeoutxxl Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I'm at my final steps. I am Torn...and I mean TORN between the 2003 Mercedes C32 AMG...and a Legacy GT.... I mean I can't figure if I want 6 banger supercharged or the Lecagy. Is there anyone not satisfied with their Legacy so far? Is there anything you think you would do different that you know now and didn't know before? I know a lot more about my STi than I ever did and I would do a lot of things different......

Wipeoutxxl Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 .....well here is how it started....I started up a business, I was thinking no matter what Subaru made more than 1 STi to make a profit. I ended up selling it because the damn car payments are not worth it. Plus I bought it used with 10,000 miles, 5.9APR, right now Subaru has a finance sale 3.9 for 48 months which will make the car payment on a brand new car $30.00 a month than what I was paying.....Since American society is already used to that damn car payment....I was like...EH, what the hell...So i'm looking and huntingl. I dig the SPEC B but they want 6k more for RIMS, PAINT, SHOCKS, and NAVI. Ksport Systems makes a better suspension that I want. I think I will buy the $800.00 Magelin from Circuit City..... You guys have to see that thing, it's the razer of all DPS systems....and I really need my Kenwood DDX back in there. It changed my life. As far as Rim, the stock ones would be my winter beaters....and then I would look for some good summer ones..... as soon as I find the offset. But yeah, the STi is nothing special when you slam 1000 miles a week and then A boxer with High Mileage is not really a good thing..... I don't think I will ever upgrade the turbo from stock....just for cylinder 4s safe being. A lot of people blew their STi from turbo's because they don't know how the heck to upgrade them and they never go into the fuel system part of it........ Think of it like this, I sold the STi, I went through parts like crazy...with a new STi even with a Legacy, I NOW know what I would do right to make it happen and to remove any downtime.....

warnoldscu Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I like how the thread title has nothing to do with what you're asking... I would guess that pdx tuning has the highest horsepower legacy, but as far as "fastest" that is debatable. This link has the 1/4 mile times, but some of the VERY fast legacy guys are not into that, so who's to say... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21501&highlight=1320 ps... for future reading pleasure of other posters, try to utilize paragraphs in your longer posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 the other thing to note is how you define "fast"? because the gearing on the GT is limiting the car to 150mph or less (blame in on the final drive and 5th gear being that way). and another answer to your question about pricing vs. modding the GT is: however fast you want the GT to be based on how much cash you want to spend.

Hanger Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I've drove the C32 AMG b4 and thought it ain't that fast.. i would definitely get the Subaru....less money more peroformance! ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKYravefever Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 o...k............ But to briefly answer your question, your car is as fast as the amount of money you throw at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 In a Flavah Flave kinda way........YEAHHHHHHHBOYYYYYYYY! Wipeout...accross the board the Legacy will be the quicker car once you spend 2-3k on upgrades. In EVERY aspect Stock...the LGT is a tad better in accel...handling.... it's no match stock Total ownership costs will be about half also:) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

mwiener2 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'd go with the leggy for multiple reasons: Not many people know what it is (sleeper) It's useable all year long (awd) cheaper to fix cheaper to mod aftermarket no one is gonna Key a subaru just cause its a subaru the MB is gonna have the nicer interior and creature comforts probly gonna have a better suspension/brakes setup from the factory My Mods List (Updated 8/22/17) 2005 Outback FMT Running on Electrons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfd425 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 the MB is gonna have the nicer interior and creature comforts probly gonna have a better suspension/brakes setup from the factory Very true on both counts. The cost of ownership will be much higher with the C32, though. The C32 is an awesome car, no question about it. If you're into modding, though, the LGT can be turned into a pretty amazing all-around sport sedan for not a lot of money. Here's a nice little page on the C32: http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/html/c32amg.html They are two totally different cars. Would I trade my LGT straight up for a 2003 C32? No, but I'd love to have a C32 as a second car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
