06 Mazda speed 6 or 05 Subaru legacy GT

[slow90gsx]

What would you choose and why?

[Colin]

05 legacy shares all it's parts with all the other chasises and can be fixed/modded cheaply. Their driveline is tried tested and true. They are not bad looking

Mazdaspeed 6's are junk. Almost every one lunde sold came back broken. also: polyurethane bushing as a connection piece between you clutch setup and your tranny is gay. not worth your time.

legacy gt... it's boosted awd subie goodness, seems kinda luxury, not much weight difference over a sti, seems to mod pretty easy, looks sexier... I know a guy that has a non-gt of that year, rides nice, really comfy and yet still corners great...

[KA-T_240]

LGT!

Legacy, sharp cars. Little small for me but pretty nice.

[Cobra Rob]

since my brother owns a mazdaspeed 6 i know what they are all about, they are more in the playing field with a STI with few bolt ons

legacy=250hp
speed6=274hp
you be the judge:icon_scratch:

hmm for the speed6 in realworld testing by modified mag 15.3 1/4mi
LGT by car and driver did 14.2

i say screw your horsepower numbers. if thats all it was about my acura with 268 would be in the running. come on now

Ive raced both, 6 was def faster. But would take the LGT over it anyday

Muscatell just took in a 07 LGT Spec B, 37k miles, 6 spd (obviously), navigation, diamond grey, $23,499k

THAT is SEX on wheels.

If you go check it out, talk with Greg...he is the one that called to inform me!

Mazda 6 is FWD, right? And transverse engine?

LGT = fulltime mechanical AWD, longitudinal engine. Car will be easier to make usable power with and will be easier to work on.

I did however read in Import Tuner last month, that a AEM CAI on a MS6 nets like 26whp and 40wtq on a stock car. That's pretty dope.

If you look at the peashooter intake that they come with stock, it makes perfect sense. DP/full exhaust make a huge difference on the cars also, compared to other stock turbo vehicles. too bad the awd system doesnt hold up well to the stock power let alone added hp.

I guess i just prefer the luxury feel of the lgt , they just look like pure sex.
