meliaant Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Just curious, what 2008 model appears to be the faster car, the 2.5GT or the 3.0? Thanks... If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexylegacy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The 3.6R is faster. Oh wait, they haven't made that one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 just from looking at the cars, visually, I'd say the 2.5i Yes, it doesnt have the stupid turbo or hood scoop to slow it down. :lol: BUT seriously. The 3.0R is only on the Outback. The LGT is made for the street, the Outback has a niftier suspension for .... errrr .... whatever you want to do with an Outback (haul groceries?) The Legacy GT (2.5T) is faster than the Outback (3.0R) because it is TEH KING OF CARsss !!! Also more mod friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gitster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I did know that, damn it. It doesnt matter, the LGT 2.5T is the king of cars, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexylegacy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I bet for 2009 or 2010 they will have the 3.6R for a Legacy since they are already putting that engine in the Tribeca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gitster Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 That would be HUGE. I know Nissan has 3.5 V6. But I bet the 3.6 H6 probably would never fit in a Legacy. I bet they designed it for the larger Tribeca frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexylegacy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Isn't it the same block as the 3.0H6, just bigger bore?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcTec34 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 get the 2.5GT. it is sexxy with a hod scoop and there are a bunch of more mods than there are for a 3.0r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qikslvr Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 The Legacy Gt 2.5 is and will still be faster than the N/A 3.0. The 2.5 has more HP/TQ and that little thing called a turbo. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.5 has more HP/TQ and that little thing called a turbo. 2008 Legacy 2.5GT and Spec-B: 243-HP, 241 ft-lb torque 2008 Legacy 3.0R: 245 HP, 215 ft-lb torque I'll bet their performance numbers are also very similar...

sexylegacy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 2008 Legacy 2.5GT and Spec-B: 243-HP, 241 ft-lb torque 2008 Legacy 3.0R: 245 HP, 215 ft-lb torque I'll bet their performance numbers are also very similar... It's the torque that kills the 3.0. The 2.5GT has a much broader overall torque curve than the 3.0, not to mention an extra 30ft-lbs. Makes a huge difference. Now since the new 3.6 is rated at 256HP/247-lb-ft and runs on regular instead of the premium required by the 3.0, imagine a higher compression 3.6 running on premium and boom, 300HP/300-ft-lbs, no problem. That would be fun. Too bad SOA is becoming more retarded by the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05LGTLtd Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Back when I was shopping for my car, I drove evrything on the lot, or so it seems. I drove an outback xt and the 3.0 LLBean. The 2.5l turbo definatley has more torque, and is alot more of a "drivers" setup. If you want a touring car get the 3.0. The six was very smooth, but wouldn't widen your eyes much.. If the legacy gets the 3.6, I hope they finally put a manual up to it, but they probably won't. "Sport shift" just doesn't do it for me. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light...

SLegacy99 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Now since the new 3.6 is rated at 256HP/247-lb-ft and runs on regular instead of the premium required by the 3.0, imagine a higher compression 3.6 running on premium and boom, 300HP/300-ft-lbs, no problem. That would be fun. Too bad SOA is becoming more retarded by the year. Well when the 3.6L is available in the Legacy I predict one of two things will happen. 1. They will increase the power of the 2.5GT and get back in the game. Leave the 3.6L where it is so that they can boast regular fuel and better fuel economy. 2. They will increase the power of the 3.6L and maybe even add direct injection if we are lucky. Leave the 2.5GT where it is assuming that Americans dont want more power, Legacy wagons, or manual transmissions. or maybe even a more powerful Spec. B might come along. And a diesel Legacy, a hybrid Legacy, and a diesel hybrid Legacy. Choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I bet for 2009 or 2010 they will have the 3.6R for a Legacy since they are already putting that engine in the Tribeca. trouble with that is all the other manufacturers will have something bigger and badder yet by then also. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
