Thanks for the kind words!
I'd look at it this way. The Ascent is heavier and has a 5K towing capacity. The stresses that you will see from the weight and towing likely will give the Legacy XT a decent margin for error. Add in an external fluid cooler and don't launch it, likely will help extend the life of it.
Will this car be gutted out and become a club race car? Not likely. An upgraded downpipe with highflow cat, an AP with a stage 2 tune on it, upgraded suspension though are all within the realm of possibility to make it a fun grand touring car imo.
