05Limited Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The 2.5GT is the performance model, the 3.0R is the luxury model. The GT also has a much larger aftermarket upgrade potential versus the 3.0R's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyD3487 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I wonder how the 3.0R's sound with exhaust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal05LGT Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The GT is a 4 cyl turbo, the 3.0r is a non turbo 6 cylinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808subaru Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I wonder how the 3.0R's sound with exhaust... Like a G35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martz.bill Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 the biggest difference I see on the subaru website is the torque is much lower on the 3.0 than on the 2.5. Has anyone been able to tell much of a difference when driving them? Also, how do insurance rates compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianspi Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The naturally aspirated 3.0 will have a smooth, exponentially growing power band. The 2.5GT will be a kick in the pants when the turbo kicks in at 3000rpm and then fades away at 5500rpm. The *ONLY* only way to compare the two is to drive them both and buy the one YOU like best. After all, you're going to be the one driving it. enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Well here is a clip on youtube for a 3.0R spec b which is equivalent to the 3.0R. With a stock exhaust.

After all, you're going to be the one driving it. this actaully describes it pretty much on the money. i'm quite a fan of the 6cyl boxer, it has a very smooth power delivery throughout the rpm range. but that said, the turbo 4 boxer is just fun to drive.
