JmP6889928 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 With all that work, why are you selling it? It seems like you should enjoy it for at least a little while. I've driven a 519 AWHP Legacy and I have to tell you, it's a gas. You should drive the car and you might not want to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stilegacy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Yea I’m just putting it up there to see if I get people wanting it, the car had 510 with the prior setup, I love it, I will probably keep it, I just know it’s worth it’s most right now brand new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stilegacy Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I got a offer of 15k today, I just put it up yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'm shooting for 450-500hp at the wheels..... 20k is a stretch..... so far I would say i'm between 8k-10k for all my mods.... by the end i'll probably be at 15k tops with a 6mt and 450+ hp. The biggest chunks of money are probably the engine mods and machine work....400+ whp isn't really that hard especially with e85 to fall back on. hmmm.... thats 8-10k in parts and machine shop work, so that number may be misleading now that i'm thinking of it..... I dropped a bunch of cash in tools and equipment as well which you also have to consider. Labor is a factor! Who's going to do the work, you or some shop... Ive never really heard of a car that's high performance and bullet proof while trying to be economical at the same time..... unless your rockin a diesel engine, won't really happen. I already have 3k designated for the oh shit I blew up my built motor fund!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Can't really count tools as you'll have them forever, even if you sell the car. Labor is whether or not you enjoy doing the work and if you're working towards a 500+ AWHP car, then you must enjoy it. It's too much work just to do to build a car to sell, especially when if you put it all back to stock (except for common sense upgrades like RSB mounts, panel filter, etc.), you'll almost always be able to sell it easier and faster and still have a lot of money in your pocket. One thing about these cars, and that is if you drive one that's absolutely bone stock, with stock turbo, stock wheels, stock drivetrain, stock sway bars, etc., they are still a great bang for the buck.

05stilegacy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hey I just picked up my car finally, it’s great, I was just wondering your thoughts, with 500+ whp legacy what kind of times would I look at at a strip? Not taking it there it’s a street car, but just wondering how my car would compare to these new big engine monsters, like a hellcat for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stilegacy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 What kind of numbers did u see at the track with 388 wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 400whp and a good driver with a solid 60’ would net around 11.5-12.5 depending on trans, tires, track conditions and temperature. Add 100hp and you would see high 10’s with a good driver. Just look up wrx and sti slips with similar power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmP6889928 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hellcat will destroy you. You might beat it off the line, but the auto trans will never miss on the Hellcat and it will drive away. I've driven one and it's unbelievable plus it's civil as a DD too, if you wanted to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 the hellcat is no joke..... like seriously lol.... they all come with like 700-800hp... and most of them get like 600+ hp easily at the wheels.... and if you toss in hp to weight ratios, your talking like 3500 vs 4500. So 500whp/3500 lbs gives you a ratio of 1.42-1.43 hp for every 10 lbs vs 600whp/4500 with 1.33 hp for every 10 lbs. They both are awd depending on year i think. But american muscle with automatic in a straight line... thats like the fundamental formula for kicking ass in the quartermile.. 500whp lgt vs 600+whp hellcat, would be close, wouldn't say destroy. I'd say it could go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05stilegacy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 My car made 540 on the dyno at the wheels, I thought hellcats weighed more especially a charger 4 door hellcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05stilegacy Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 and sorry u guys are right 4500 pounds for the curb weight on the hellcats, It would prob beat me, I would just like to do a pull against one and see what would happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tehnation Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The special cop model from some company has awd package,I guess thats why I thought they were awd, and there have been talks about it for a long time, figured they would have already. So rwd and a lower hp to weight ratio.... the 500hp lgt could win, its got more power to weight and awd, only drawback would be the manual transmission, but its not a game ender, you just have to know what your doing. I would shit on that hellcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 My car was built for big power, aiming for 600ish. I had to scale back on the power level once the kids starting popping out lol. I ended up making a little over 400 with stock exhaust manifold and cat back. She had some problems with the original assembly and cooked a head gasket. That was two yrs ago, she should be back together in a couple of weeks. Should be going up for sale not long after... Tehnation, I was well into the 20k range on the motor alone.

hadvw Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 For $20k+ into the engine, unless you REALLY need/want a wagon and/or Subaru, wouldn't a Q50 (Red) Sport AWD + pipes + tune be a little easier to do? With $5k for better fuel pump, E85, etc, they're getting into the 10s. And they're built for 400 hp stock, so you wouldn't need to beef up as many things. Getting an LGT (non-Spec B) reliably into the 10s seems like it would cost $40-50k. Then there's that guy on Facebook selling his 1000+ hp STI race car for $50k in IL..

05stilegacy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Like I said my car was dynoed at 540 to all wheels on a Mustang Dyno that used software that could do virtual road simulation, it ran a couple virtual drags between 10.8-11.4. That’s why I started with these questions in the first place to see everyone’s thoughts about what I would really run, and yes I can drive nicely lol, and my lgt I’m about 30k I’m in extras, built closed deck, suspension, sti trans, big borg Warner turbo rotated, fuel system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
