San Diego is here

[Skylab™]

I'll be the first to post here about the 2005 Legacy.
I purchased my RS from Irvine Subaru, and will probably get the Legacy from them.

Anyone else here have anything to say? :lol:

Hey Skylab,
I bought my 1984 GL 4x4 wagon from them. It only has 275,000 miles on it. I took it to Colorado last year when I worked in Denver. Drove it over the pass to Vail several times. I drove it through Rocky Mtn. National Park twice. It was breathin' heavy @ 10,000 ft. but it made it. I want and need the new Legacy GT 2.5. I heard that if we're patient, they are bringing the B4 over here. Have you heard any rumors? I'm willing to put a deposit down on that sweet little beast..........

Hate to tell you, the B4 is just the designation for the sedans SOOBDUDE.

[SOOBDUDE]

I guess it's the STi version of the B4.

You might want to check out this thread (http://www.legacysti.com/viewtopic.php?t=74&highlight=b4) for some enlightenment. ;)

And I thought it was confusing before! Whatever they call it, i'm holding out for the nastiest Legacy they sell here............my personal choice for name would be Legacy GT 2.5 STi

[SUBE555]

Legacy 2.5GT Spec B might be a bit more upscale sounding as the term STi has become synonymous thus far with the Impreza chassis.

[SOOBDUDE]

Isn't there a Japanese Spec B example of the Impreza that's a lightened version?

[SUBE555]

A WRX STi RA Spec C?

[SOOBDUDE]

Yes...............Spec C. Another model that Mother Subaru feels we're not worthy or grown up enough to enjoy.

[SUBE555]

Actually there are only a few differences between the USDM STi and the Spec C, the Spec C may be making up to 320hp, the springs at least were a little stiffer IIRC, it had the low wing, the 13.0:1 steering rack and I can't remember if it had the abscence of AC and had the roof vent. The USDM isn't all that far off, only things I'd ask for are the option of 2 springs (or the Prodrive adjustable coil-over system), 13:1 steering rack, option or low or high wings. I think the wings options, and an optional ultra-high performance A/S tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S would help sell these babies year round and a bit better. Regardless, its a really nice car. I love riding along in my buddies one. :D

I love the ProDrive wheel options i've seen. Those silver gray 18's really look great on silver WRX's. I hope ProDrive makes replacement wheels for the GT 2.5 when they arrive.
