legacy4bryan Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hello, I bought a used 05 legacy GT 5EAT, and it's great. But the acceleration doesn't seem all that fast. My cousin just got a 08 WRX premium 5MT, and i felt like my guts being spilled out inside the car. Is there something wrong with my car or is WRX just darn fast?

rtbrjason Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Drive both rather than just ride in his. Always feels faster in the passenger seat, but the manual wrx should be faster than the auto lgt I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacy4bryan Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 just realized that 08 had 224 HP instead of 265 like the 2009s. It just seems like my LGT has such a bad turbo lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 ^ the auto plays a part in damping some of the brutal acceleration "slush box" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfsin Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 ...I bought a used 05 legacy GT 5EAT... Problem #1, you got the wrong tranny. Performance Driving = Stick Shift on the LGT platform. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boost4life Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Can't forget about the weight difference, I just went from a 05 wrx to a legacy wagon and even at stg 2 my 05 wrx with a tbe seemed kind of comparable but def more torq with the legacy.. also i agree with the previous statement made it always feels faster in the passenger seat..

sschmelcke Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 my friend just bought an 09 wrx and his car feels fast as hell. my car def has more low end grunt but he hits max boost/power around 4000k rpm where i hit it at 2800rpm. i do think the stick makes it feel faster than it actually is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 did they change the gearing and final drive in the 08 wrx? I know it has an open rear dif.. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice_rocket Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Put it in tiptronic mode, the full 5eat always upshifts really fast.. car is a different beast when you are controlling the gears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
