DrGT Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 MSB, we definitively have quite a few things in common: •Subarus, and bientôt a Legacy Turbo... •French speaking, a different degrees •Mac (imacG3 450 and PB G4 875 in my case) •This interesting forum :) But we don't drive the same side of the road!

gtguy Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 [quote name='MSB']ah, msr gtguy vous parlez comme un native![/quote] I wish. I'm getting much better. It really helps that we always vacation in places where nobody speaks English. I sometimes have to ask a person to slow down, but usually, I'm okay. I can now chat with the locals and all, but I heard a gentleman from the Luberon speaking, and I had absolutely NO idea what he was saying! :lol: Of course, neither did the guy who ran the restaurant, and he was a Frenchman! It's a struggle, one that the wife and I are winning. My French is a lot better after we've been in country for about a week, than it is when we first arrive. We're far from being fluent, but we have plenty of time to get fluent, as we plan to retire to the south of France. Back on topic, as regards road noise, the Legacy has to be better than my WRX, which is a noisy little bugger. They paid attention to NVH in the car design and construction. I'm dying to hear the exhaust note of the GT. That Scooby burble better still be there. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrGT Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 MSB: maybe you could extract the audio file from your movie. It would be much smallerthis way I guess. It's in this menu: "edition->extract" of QuickTime player I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wind Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 i compared the Legacy to TSX and found out that they r pretty much the same for all size except Legacy is about 1 inch higher and has lower ground clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 30% is about what the WRX gained with stage 2 - the STI and Forester number are not in yet. Don't try to run a vette except for short distances where all wheel drive wins or you have a bigger turbo on your GT and 400 hp. Charlie[/quote] These specs aren't always accurate. The average 0-60 time as tested by C&D, MT, etc. for the turbo Cayenne is 5.4sec. The XT Forester makes it in 5.3, so Subaru already has a turbo Cayenne beater :D [url]http://www.trucktrend.com/roadtests/suv/112_0310_frst_porsche/index1.html[/url] [url]http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=6854[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Maybe up to that point, it's above that where the Cayenne starts to show, when the Subaru turbo runs out of breathe. Then again, SUV's shouldn't be running those crazy speeds anyhow. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtguy Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 What did you say? It's possible for you to read this quite well. But it's not possible for you to understand it. Tis true, tis true. The Cayenne is the best SUV. It's very expensive, but very fast. The Forester is not the same, I regrette to say.
