jasejase Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 gotcha... i remember reading that. I just was curiuous to see if the current tune was good and you were just caught up in the quest for big numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robitrice Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 i dont care abt numbers like some......based on what bren saw on his magical laptop on the road i was at 315whp with a serious boost leak so i can expect anywhere from an additional 5-15 after its finished. numbers are of no importance to me, unless its the number of panties it drop......which is zero any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasejase Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I like the red interior... and i like the fact that they are numbered (though 500 is a pretty high number). However, the 07-09's have some betterments that make the spec.b a notch better than a limited lgt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Donated Too luchadorjose Posted November 29, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wouldn't want to push big power on the 5speed, I love my 6speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc2125 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wouldn't want to push big power on the 5speed, I love my 6speed. 6 speed is over rated. Better gears with 5 speed. Better 0-60 time in 5 speed. And dont have to shift every 2 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robitrice Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 yea thats why all the STi's came with 5spds........u know subarus performance car, based on racing and what not......however a 5spd with a maraca sounding drivetrain is probably superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The 07-09 specB came with the specC 07 sti tranny and R180 diff vs. the 06 specB which came with the same tranny and gearbox that the wrx/lgt iirc. Don't get me wrong it was a unique year for the specB but IMO it was a trial year for the car for Subaru and after 06 the 07-09 came with better features. I was 0. And I'm still a zero.

Hmmmm. 0-60 is debatable. 6 speed and bigger turbo are a great combo. Sure you fly through the gears quicker, but that puts you above that 3500 rpm seemingly quicker. 0-60 is also just one measure. Bottom-line, I would rather have a tranny that was built to withstand the power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasejase Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 And don't get me wrong man, you got a kick ass car. However the 6 is a better all around tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong it was a unique year for the specB but IMO it was a trial year for the car for Subaru and after 06 the 07-09 came with better features. I wish I could find the article I read, but basically the 06 spec b was some type of trial line like you said. And maybe because I have just driven 5 speeds and just test drove a couple 6 speeds, it seems like 5 speeds are "easier" to drive. Of course the 6 speed has a lot of advantages, one being your basically always in boost. But i would think that the 0-60 would be faster in a 5 speed because you only have to shift once, rather than twice in a 6 speed.. (all else being equal of course) Not a huge deal or anything, but I guess once you get accustomed to something, you become bias towards it Like the people who like the wrx bug eye headlights :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrw Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Will you heavy spec b blokes get over yourselves. 5mt gearing is better suited for 1/4mile racing due to not needing to shift often. 6mt is better for all other kinds of performance driving. LGT/08+WRX 5mt's are a lot more durable than the GD chassis ones that were made out of glass. Bugeyes are great. ANYWAYS Who's next on the tuning block?

I Donated Too luchadorjose Posted November 29, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted November 29, 2012 A lot more durable means they don't break at stage 2, but 6mt handles a LOT more power. I'm getting tuned in the spring with equal length header and tmic in addition to my current mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
