2002legacy Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 why dont they put the same new front end from the B9 and the new WRX on the new Legacy? that would be sick!! otherwise I like the new Spec B. More power would always be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddiezx Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 About when is the 07 Spec B will be available ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 No clue. Since it's now a production car, I would HOPE July... But before we found out it was a production car, we all guessed around Sept. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Gat Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hello, According to my contacts at SoA, late June / early July for the Spec B and August for the STI Limited. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirtualReality Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 This might be a noob question... Why don't they add i-Active Valve Lift System from the 2.5i to GT? It won't work with turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualReality Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks. Sorry, didn't search cause I thought 2.5i has AVCS. After a quick search, I found this thread http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30921 Tribeca has both AVCS and AVLS. And i-Active looks similar to AVLS to me(I might misunderstood the explanation because my bad english + I'm new to these stuff), so I assume it's possible for AVCS to work with i-Active too?

ElCoyote Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for the pics. Don't see people flocking around it though.  I still don't see that it separates itself significantly from a 'regular' GT ltd. It needs more still- maybe they improved the suspension? (although doesn't seem like it). And I could live without the 2 toned interior. Basically, still have to build your own STi.  Tyre profiles are too low to look realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCoyote Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Oh come on guys. 1HP does NOT EQUAL 1FT-LB of torque! For God's sake. I don't know where those comments come from. Torque is a twisting force only. Horsepower is that force measured over time. Horsepower is a FUNCTION of TORQUE over TIME (or RPM in an engine's case [no pun intended]). They are not always equal. The generic formula is HP=RPMxTQ/5252. There was no reduction in torque or HP for 2007. As previously mentioned, the numbers numerically decreased because of the new SAE stating methods. The engine power and torque outputs are exactly the same as last year. Amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuzaxeman Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 i've tried a search and to no avail. does anyone know what kind of times the 07 spec b is going to make? 1/4, trap, 0-60? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinet Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Probably the same as 2006, I'd guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator GT Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 hey, uh, I haven't seen anything anywhere, but don't want to assume. LGT brakes = Spec.B brakes in terms of dimensions? thanks, matt "If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." - T.

gibjer Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Dimension yes, however the spec-bs get different tires, and I believe a slightly different brakepad compound, but that was for 06, don't know about the 07s.

Gator GT Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 same dimensional properties is all I was waiting (and hoping) to hear. But I thank you for the added bonus of further information!  Sweet!

rallysquirrel Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The new tranny in the '07 will most likely contribute to higher whp (not bhp, cause that's at the flywheel) and quicker 0-60 times. Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 In saw someone posted the "I drive being" a "built in AP"? In Super Sport Mode, its still the same power as the 05-06 with out it. I assume the other modes are to get the EPA rating up, and to offer more toys. Still nice though. I wish they had redone a new grille treatment.

SubieDriver Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yes, in Sport Sharp mode, the power output is still the same, but the electronic throttle mapping is more aggressive. The standard Sport mode is similar throttle mapping to the 05-06. They can do wonders with electronic throttle to change the feel of the car. I'm sure Cobb Tuning will have a field day with a three-mode AccessPort. The Intelligent mode softens throttle action and reduces power somewhat to give better mileage. I'm sure Cobb Tuning will have a field day with a three-mode AccessPort.  In saw someone posted the "I drive being" a "built in AP"? In Super Sport Mode, its still the same power as the 05-06 with out it.

rallysquirrel Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 In SS mode the full boost is going to occur earlier in the power band. I'll see if I can find a power curve, I know I've seen it somewhere. I guess what SubieDriver said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallysquirrel Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 From 2007 Subaru Legacy GT Spec.B - The Car Connection Sport mode then allows full engine power, and a more linear response leading up to it, with a slightly more aggressive tip-in than Intelligent. Finally, there's Sport Sharp (designated by an S# on the dial), which changes the throttle attitude to be very aggressive, with full power and boost available earlier - with some smoothness sacrificed. Subaru officials said that S# won't bring faster raw acceleration times, but it would improve times during maneuvers that require lifting off the gas and getting back on it quickly. There's much less of a difference between S and S sharp. While SI Drive doesn't actually boost the engine's peak power or torque, it does allow quite different driving experiences from the same car. In our Spec.B test car, we noticed that when making a gentle standing start, throttle/clutch coordination was improved in Intelligent mode, and the car was easier to drive smoothly in the lower gears; while at the opposite end, in S# mode, the six-speed was very difficult to drive smoothly in the lower gears due to the on-off nature of the throttle.

rallysquirrel Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Spec B invoice is $31,534 +destination charge of $625 = $32,159 :-) MSRP is $34,620 as per http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legac...007.html#colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
