boostedsubbygt Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 which year in your opinion was legacy gt best year model performance and style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Only in '05 were the rarest models made. No, not the Spec B's - those are made in every model year and outnumber the '05 non-limiteds. The '05 "Unlimited" is lighter than the others. Edited June 1, 2008 by Legend Edit: removed "200 lbs" since I don't want to propogate incorrect info. Thanks.

HansGT Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) ^ the '05 GT non limited is not 200lbs. lighter. Its only like 65lbs. due to the lack of sunroof and leather.  GT = 3300lbs. http://www.edmunds.com/used/2005/subaru/legacy/100396937/specs.html GT Limited = 3365lbs. http://www.edmunds.com/used/2005/subaru/legacy/100396965/specs.html Edited June 1, 2008 by Han'sGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanboy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) 2005 non-limited is 115 pounds lighter than a 2008 limited GT, and 230 pounds lighter than a 2008 Spec B. Maybe that's what he meant? But yes, there was only a 65 pound difference between limited and non-limited models in 2005. I like the 2005 model. Got the car I wanted without the frills, along with the color and transmission choice I wanted (well almost). Like the blacked out headlights versus the chrome from later years. No air pump to get in the way of FMIC pipes. Like the look of the 2005 gauges as well. Same goes with the look of the radio controls.

Legend Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If it's only 65lb, then that's not real significant. I've seen the "200 lb." number thrown around quite a bit on here. Aren't power seats in the Ltd. also? My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ih8vtec13 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I drove a modded 08 and really liked it but my 05 is a better car for performance. BTW they are both Automatics and the 08's auto Doesnt have the option to hold gear and will just up shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aczwild Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 If we're going solely on the "GT", then '05 only because you could still get a GT wagon with a 5MT transmission. However I believe that '07 was the best year only when counting the Spec B as that car. Black/blue interior, awesome color, 6MT, etc, etc. JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

Zed 2.0 Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Obviously everybody is going to vote for the year they bought. :rolleyes: Just keep in mind the features added to 07-08. Folding rear seats, SI-Drive, SRS equalization, faster spooling turbo, etc. [edit] just rememberd about the catless uppipe Edited June 2, 2008 by Zed 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTATV Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 for the LGTs i think 05 cause most color combos, options, etc but for the spec.Bs i think the 06 is the best (not just cause I have it) more so cause i think 1st year of it in the US, i like the red leather better than the inserts, and biggest is a Spec. without SI drive. but yeah i repent the 05 is the best and I do love picture whoring....
