SubieAA Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I just took my first roadtrip down to New York City and Back last Sunday. The LGT is a really great cruising car after all. The handling at speed on the highway is great. If any of you head down to New York, I recommend taking 84 to the Saw Mill Parkway down the Hudson for a great drive. Managed to avoid the CT speed traps. I didn't think I would enjoy roadtripping in this car much, but it was particularly enjoyable. The turbo definitely "warmed up" after an hour on the road. The Nokian's may also have been a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedeeLGT Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Turbo XS UP, Perrin catless DP, and GReddy Evo II catback for 4 hours to NJ at a constant 75-80mph cruising = the biggest headache and most annoying ear drone ever. I was almost ready to pull my exhaust off then. I felt bad for my back seat passenger. Fortunately, I dont travel on highways all that often, so it stayed on.

The guard rails are a real test for the faint hearted, particularly when you pass on the outside:lol: "Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence."

gianspi Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I took a $99 plane ride to Pennsylvannia from Rhode Island. Bought my Legacy and drove it back to RI (6 hours). Last year I drove 1,014 miles for charity during the 48Hours of Tristate over at NASIOC. The car is definitely a good cruiser. I felt bad for the imprezas with coilovers; must of been a bitch. enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieAA Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 The Sawmill was my old test track!!!!!!! Fun! The guard rails are a real test for the faint hearted, particularly when you pass on the outside:lol: It was a Porshe Cayenne S, a Jajuar XJT, and I doing our best version of "The Italian Job". The ridiculous merges and sharp turns mean definitley not for the faint hearted. but the great fun and you can not find a more scenic path to the city. The other two cars were locals and knew when to do what which gave them the edge, lol:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
