wunderkind Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I bet on short spurts, the Legacy will outdo even an E46 M3. Check out the 0-30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 [quote name='jbooker']I can go into this more, but I'd rather not bore everyone. For more info, research kahn bahn[/QUOTE]I never get bored by this stuff. This is part of what I do. BTW if you do a search you'll find more under "Kanban". Here's a 5 second overview: Kanban: A Japanese term. The actual term means "signal". It is one of the primary tools of JIT system. It signals a cycle of replenishment for production and materials. It maintains an orderly and efficient flow of materials throughout the entire manufacturing process. It is usually a printed card that contains specific information such as part name, description, quantity, etc. This "signal" is the key to making each production as lean or efficient as possible. Sometimes referred to as "just-in-time" production. Back on topic: There's so few LGTs around that I've no idea who in San Diego is getting "the look". I'll know soon though.

il collaudatore Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If you want to minimize challenges -keep the car stock looking -avoid bovs, loud exhausts -replace your 2.5GT badge with a 2.5i badge Problem solved. The civic racers won't bother you and the domestic drivers won't either. I'm not sure that mustang blew threw the stop sign to race you- some people just drive like that normally to impress the motoring public with their bad-ass street thug driving skills.

Xaqtly Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I don't know, nobody has challenged me yet. Either they don't know what a 2.5 GT is or they don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeng Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 A Skyline R34 just smoked me... :( He came by too fast for me to shift into Sports mode, else I could tail him, just like I smoked anohter R33 the other night... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubie02 Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 [quote name='tsyGT'] IIRC the Mustang doesn't even have an Indie rear suspension. A lot of hp and big tires does not make for a sophisticated or great car, IMHO. :) [/QUOTE] actually, the cobra's do have an IRS. and I really like the new mustang's. I sometimes wish I had waited for the 05, but really my LGT is more practical for where I live in the snowbelt. Still, I owned a mustang in college and had it for 9 years. When I got an escort to use as a commutermobile in grad school my dad got the mustang since he had just been laid off and needed a new car. It had just shy of 300k miles on it when he got rid of it... In general I have not found my foreign cars to be any more reliable than my american cars (mostly Fords). In fact my two most reliable cars were both Ford's--more so than my subies, and way the hell more than my VW was. The foreign cars tend to have wayyyy better trade value though. I think its a leftover misconception to assume a foreign car will be more reliable nowadays though. Look at the newer acura's--there is still a perception that they are mega reliable, but there are more TSB's for the rsx than just about any car I've seen.

Beanboy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Get a Legacy GT wagon. I wonder if anybody notices the wagon launching way more quickly then they expect an "Outback" to be. -B -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcgliss Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The issue in this thread is not about the quality of American muscle cars. But I can tell you as a high perf driving instructor with a lot of seat time in various cars - there are quite a few jap and euro wannabee's that fall apart at track events while the SVT products just keep going. Let's not be comparing 1980's American with 2005 LGTs. Why are Subaru and Evo service departments getting so many blown transmissions and motors? Not flaming - just balancing out some rash judgements. JC, Chicagoland bassist & opentracker 2005 LGT 5MT Ltd wagon 2005 LGT 5MT Ltd sedan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
