trackhore Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Autoblog Article "The boys over at Subaru Tecnica International must have some extra time on their hands lately. Sure, they opened a museum recently, and may have even lent a hand with Ken Block's new Gymkhana ride. But after canceling their iconic World Rally Championship program, we can mentally picture the tumbleweed rolling through their garage. Thankfully, if the latest rumors from Nihon Car are any indication, the STI crew may have a new project on their hands: a racing version of the new Legacy for the Japanese local Super GT series. Although details are few and far between at this point, the Legacy STI would reportedly compete in the series' second-tier GT300 class, not in the top-level GT500. The GT300 category closely mirrors production car specs, so don't expect any wild conversions, but STI would surely push the envelope here, especially considering that their super-sedan would have to dice it with the likes of Porsche GT3s and race-prepped Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Privateer team Cusco won a race last year at Sepang with a GT300-spec Impreza, where the all-wheel-drive proved an advantage, but there's no telling what could happen if Subaru throws the weight of its factory support behind a works racing effort."

spartan Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I wonder if they would be using the '09 or the '10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 It will be an MY10, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 It will be an MY10, of course. The MY10 would make a great NASCAR body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Camry in nascar would look bit funny. kinda like this... http://exe.vis.ne.jp/photo/event/0811_tmsf/0811_tmsf_23_nascar-01.jpg I was really excited to see the new Legacy. Not sure how I feel about it now... Maybe it will be like the Impreza and grow on people after they start seeing them modded. I do think it would look entirely different with larger wheels and a closed up fender gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah, but the interior is deal breaker, it sucks IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
