Hokiebird Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Maybe I'm confused. What are stage 2 legacys running in the 1/4? A GTO on slicks can dip pretty far into the 12s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rao Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 You are missing the point, the Legacy is the new SRT-4 Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjay1089 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Anyone who denies the bargain factor of a Z06 is crazy. They've been hailed all around the world as a super-car beater. Sure, if you want to build a car than spend $70k building one. But if you want a somewhat liveable, seriously fast car that can whoop cars twice its price, a Z06 is a great choice. Not saying I'd ever buy one... but you have to respect it for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang killer Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 the 05 and 06 GTO's have 400 horses, correct? if so, then i think it would be a close race with a stage 2 legacy. but i just saw a GTO this afternoon (the first 06 ive ever seen in person) and it was damn sexy and badass with those "nostril" style hood scoops. i guess i would have to go with the GTO. but remember this, the vette gets 'em wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown07 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Resurrected. Buddy of mine just got a pristine used '04 GTO last night. The thing is slick. I dont see how anyone can call the interior cheap. The leather is of very high quality and the door suade/leather inserts are something I wish the legacy had. Some very nice trim touches in the car. The back seat really was pretty comfortable with its bucket seats. I didnt check out the trunk, but I would say the rest of the car was very nice. I dont know if I care for the green backlit radio/trip computer, but the gauges were pretty similar to the Legacy in a lot of ways. Very nice car all around. I was definitely impressed. Go Cardinals!

antny Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I dont know if I could go with a GTO. NOw if you were to boost it and redo the whole suspension then maybe I would own one. I know I could drag a GTO's ass right now in a bigger AWD family sedan no one will know whats coming at them. I would never keep a car stock so thats just me. I almost bought a c5 vette and had my basket full of a supercharger and all the other goodies but decided I didnt want to be like every other 40-50 yo guy here in oklahoma. Either way I would spend 15-20K in mods in any car I have so it doesnt matter to me. I have seen many stock gto's run 14's at the track do to traction and suspension issues. My VF30'd WRX put a hurting on a trailored GTO a couple summers ago at the 1320. But if your in new york for the winters I would definitely go with a AWD car before a 400 hp rwd car anyday.

pillboy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 With gas approaching $4 a gallon, I think I'd get one of each. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslash Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 I've thought about it, and thought about it some more, and I settled on the GTO folks. I do think the LGT is a better/more practical car overall, but at this point in my life(no wife/kids...just a job), I want to get a car in which I can have as much politically incorrect fun as possible. Gas prices aren't really a big issue for me. I don't have to drive far to work (3-4 miles), and I don't really drive in downtown manhattan if I can help it. I won't be staying in NYC for too long, and while I do, I'll also have access to an Impala which does really well in the winter. Well, thanks for all the advice folks, and if I could I'd own both...maybe someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brack Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 I have owned a Legacy GT for 18 months. Also before that, a WRX in 02,03, STi in 04,05. I now own (for the last 7 weeks) a 06 GTO 6 speed. Call me if you wish. Mike (503) 440- 1960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiemoney Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 This thread just keeps dragging on and on IMHO Legacy: Probably a more economical solution, perhaps a little better finish, decent mod potential GTO: Balls to the walls power, unlimited mod potential, 500hp is an easy feat with the LSX motors. Plus. . .perhaps the best comparison. . . .a Legacy will never sound like my buddies GTO: http://videos.streetfire.net/video/wm/8c332b7b-0af4-4aa9-b813-9929018205cb.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown07 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The GTO back seat is a joke. Nice car, otherwise...... Whats wrong with the GTO back seat? I mean this is a coupe, mind you. I just sat in the back of a GTO yesterday. The legroom is comparable to the Legacy, and the seats are bolstered and comfortable. Albeit, you can only have two in the back, and its a PITA to get back there (coupe FTL), but its pretty comfortable once you are actually sitting back there. I'd still rather have a LGT, but the GTO isnt bad at all. Go Cardinals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still rather have a LGT, but the GTO isnt bad at all. The rear seat access is the WORST design I have ever seen. I've had 2 4th Gen Camaros...and they were both EASY compared to the Goat. I'm sorry... but moving the seat back forward.... hitting a little button... waiting 15 seconds... getting in.... hitting the button again for 15 seconds... then putting the seat back in the regular position... is a little much, dontcha think? What if it is raining outside? What if you're in the back seat and the driver doesn't asssist you in getting out. It is a joke of a design.

Hokiebird Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I always treated my 4th gen bird as a 2 seater not a 2 + 2. I removed the rear buckets and just left the top of the seat folded down. It made a nice out of view place to store things like my tools and jumper cables. The GTO isn't a good car to try to make into a family coupe. If you need something practical to haul people and stuff it isn't for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you and your buddy from? Don't see many GTO's here... by the way - tell him his license plate is retarded I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time. CLICK HERE FOR THE HOGZAUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
