BDII Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 I personally enjoyed perusing the Spec B owner profession thread a while back. After reading that I realize that me and my LGT are indeed inferior. Spec B : Legacy GT SRT4 : Neon It's not a Legacy GT! It's a Spec B!!! Post of the day!!! Need forum help?

Gire Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 that part is true +1 I'd rock a Spec B wagon, but only then..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiggins Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 As for SI, which I have on my 2007, it's not a gimick and quite usefull. Dial in I mode for traffic jams and Sport Sharp for real fun. My buddy has a 2006 and he loves the SI on my car bigtime. It's a sweet upgrade to the Legacy and anyone who thinks otherwise is either jealous or hasn't tried it over a period of days.

Jon in CT Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 jealous? Are you serious? Sounds like someone with 6th gear envy is trying to convince himself that a 6th forward gear is utterly worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDII Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Considering since there are VERY FEW tracks that YOU will ever need a 6th gear for, and considering the LGT's 5th gear is plenty tall for highway speeds I see it as a waste of money. I cruise at 65MPH at 2600 rpms. No need for a sixth gear for highway driving. Plus, to the member who made the comment about it being stronger, albeit, it may be, but the stock one will hold 350HP, easily. again, unless you're building a beast of a car, the 6 speed and rear dif are useless.

camber Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 The 6 spd in the spec B is the best MT that Subaru has every made IMO. Personally, It has nothing to do with having an extra gear or not. I don't have to deal with clutch stink, shuddering and dual mass fly wheel that the 5MT suffers from. In my book the 6MT is worth the price of admission if your a driving enthusiast. As far as the rear torsen diff being useless on anything other then a "beast of a car". IMO I think it's much better in cornering then the viscous diffs in the standard GT's. Wheels are heavier then aftermarket types but probably less prone to breaking. Also, 06-07 Spec B wheels are some of the nicest looking wheels for the Legacy. I wish they were a bit wider though. Bridgestone RE50a rubber are light years beyond the RE92. Even If I were going aftermarket for tires I would still look at the RE50. I think the bilstein and aluminum suspension is a big upgrade over the GT's. It may have a little to much body roll for some peoples taste but it always grips and never really beats you up. You'll be hard pressed to find a similar combination in the aftermarket that matches the bilstein for comfort and handling without paying alot of money.

PhilT Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I didn't think there was much difference between ratios anyway, 5th on the 5MT is pretty much equal to 6th on the 6MT ? Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggle Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 While you're fiddling with your knob.........the rest of us "jealous" souls get to plug in a Cobb AP. Not Spec b specific ... On the AP availability, or the I-Drive gimmic. And those of us that are stuck fiddling with our knobs (classic btw:lol:) are hoping that Cobb ties into when Armageddon comes, and the AP for 2007 + becomes available.

Penguin Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would have to agree that the extra money Subaru wants for a Spec B is very silly considering the alternatives from other makers in the same price range. I don't have anything against Spec B owners though, if they want to spend their money on Spec B's that is fine with me. They can go spend all their money on crack too, if it makes them feel better and faster for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always curious as to what these other mystery cars out there that are in the same price and performance range as the Spec.B. Perhaps you could list them for us?
