Waynerm002 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I was just looking through the NY post and saw some contest which the winning prize is a Subaru GTX, the picture in the ad is of a Legacy GT wagon. I went to the website listed http://www.billkolbjrsubaru.com and saw that this is just a GT that had some dealer added items which they are now calling a GTX. Has anyone here ever seen one of those?

rao Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Can we make this a sticky so that people will know all about the amazing GTX and not have to ask every few days Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXT709 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yeah, I've heard of them. I was interested in purchasing a "GTX" Wagon. Ended up with the Outback XT from the dealership instead. They still installed the STi strut tower brace, and I went with wheels and tires from tire rack. Overall, they do a good job with the leather interior, which is two-tone and black and were really easy to deal with. I think when they advertise for 300+ hp, it means reflash, filter, borla exhaust. Overall tho, they were cheaper and easier than dealing with my local dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach_six Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Is a dealer is allowed to do that, modify a car and sell it under a different model name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXT709 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I think it's like offering a Roush (spelling?) Mustang or F150. Saw one of those (truck) at a dealer by my parent's house in Pittsburgh. The dealership pays for the cars, but not sure about the warranty. They must honor the reflash, never came up b/c I got the AP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 300 hp is probably a load of crap. It's got a borla exhaust and different seats, a strut tower, and maybe stiffer springs. Think about it....subaru charges an extra 3000+ MRSP between the GT and GT limited. Only difference is leather seats, sunroof, and auto climate control. Now your talking a cat back exaust, custom suede seats, strut tower...the dealer will jack it up. You can add most of this yourself...a borla cat back for $700 and a strut brace for $300...and your only out the suede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc0032 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Can we please stop bring up the GTX it goes away for a few weeks and pops up again.This does keep poping up and going away, happens with a lot of topics. We need a thread like This to just point everyone to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Ok, nothing here, have checked "Offically" with Subaru Australia, and there is nothing in their books at all. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks for the news flash... it has been well established that the GTX is nothing more than an individual dealer's option package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXT709 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Actually, when speaking to their salesman he told me they had a car getting "a chip," drop in filter, plus the Borla exhaust, getting that packaged dynoed somewhere in California. So, I guess they really do plan on having "300 hp" versions available. I just wanted to go with the AP instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 i don't think "chip" is the correct term here. i don't believe our cars work with "chips". you reprogram our ECU. they may be taking the car to a custom tunner. if you did it yourself, take it to a tuner, figure around $800. the only plus getting it set up through the dealer would be if the factory warrenty is still %100.

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 A chip huh? How about a chip off the old block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXT709 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Geez, take it easy guys. I'm just quoting the salesperson when I say "chip." He was actually very pleasant and easy to deal with. I didn't get the GTX package anyway, just the strut tower brace and the seats. Borla's don't fit the OB (yet) and Cobb's AP just seemed like a much better deal.

dgags31 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I was at the NY Auto show this past weekend and that dealer had a few cars there. They where in a tent out side the show. Plastered on the window's it said something like 300+ HP. The guy had an LGT, LGT WAGON, And an STI. Don't know about the HP but they looked cool. Had some nice interior and nice wheels on the LGT. Also the wagon had chrome dipped stock wheels on it. Which I didn't like but I'm sure some people would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nsaglibene Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I got one, it works good for me because the cost of all the parts is worked into the financing. They use a new unichip for the 300 horse power one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I've never been a fan of car forums. For the other car lists I involved with, I like mail lsts. IMHO, unless you religiously keep up with a forum on a daily basis (which I can't/won't do), it's way too time-consuming to keep up with every topic that pops up. When I get on a couple of days a week, I used to go to the "New Posts" list, but the first few pages were taken up with posts from "today" and Im not gonna dig down to find all of the new stuff for the last 3-7 days.Even doing a search (wich I did for this topic) gives me a multiple-page list of stuff to dig through. Sorry about the semi-rant, but I'm not apologizing for not knowing about every thread that existed about the GTX. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always post new tread that already been discussed. I was trying to help you out and show you what has been discuused before about your topic. Don't be sorry.
