http://www.ssmoparmuscle.com/speedcomp.htm?NORDERBY=quarter&OORDERBY=make&OORDERDIR=ASC

 

claims a lgt runs a 14.2 in a 1/4

 

motortrend says 14.8

 

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14763&highlight=1%2F4+mile

 

one of our own members on the forum has a ticket for him running a 14.5

 

Also i think i know that a WRX runs a 14.5 or 14.6 ish...... and i beat a WRX .. maybe the wrx was poor launch.....and i admit he was starting to pull up but if i pop it into 3rd i would pull away cuz hes all 1st and 2nd and im 2nd and 3rd....... so i'd appreciate it if someone could help clear out some confusion im dealin w/...

The 14.8 Motortrend Legacy was an auto.

 

The 5-speed LGT runs low 14's (Road and Track: 14.3, Car and Driver: 14.2). The automatic runs high 14's to low 15's (some members here have clocked low 15's in their automatic LGTs).

The legacy GT is significantly faster stock for stock than a stock WRX.

 

Autoweek Got a 13.95 @97mph out of it

 

Its not that much heavier and has been consistenly putting down more power on the dyno than a WRX.

I guess I'll poke my head in because I'm curious. For those of you with slips from the strip, are there any adjustments done for altitude/barametric pressure/temperature etc? I'm pretty sure most major car magazines adjust for altitude and temperature when they run 0-60 times.

 

Also, they abuse the hell out of their cars then hand them back to manufacturer. So I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Walton (the Test Editor at MT) did 4k clutch drops on a LGT.

I have a non-adjusted timeslip of 14.5 @ 93mph. This was a completely stock run with my 5MT with 1100 miles on the odometer.

 

Track was in Tulsa, conditions were overcast 60ish degrees.

 

Separately, I don't think the WRX should be underestimated from a stoplight. On the highway though, the Legacy has more displacement, more power and better aerodynamics to boot.

My stock 5MT LGT ran a best of 14.7@97 on a ~98 deg. day in Ohio.

Granted, that was with my fat a$$ in the seat, but still....

 

and that it was hot as crap....take your car when its 70s, youll drop about half a second

 

14.3@98.5 in 80 degrees stock

14.0@101 in high 80s stage 1

13.7@101.5 in mid 90s stage 2
