Weight for Legacy 2.5 GT is about 3125 lbs, assuming the lightest model (5 speed sedan). At 165 hp, you are looking at nearly 19 pounds per hp. An SVX weighs aroung 3600 pounds, but with 230 hp, still has a much lower ratio of lb/hp, around 15.5 something. I realize you have gear ratio issues to consider, etc., yadda, yadda, yadda. I've driven an Impreza 2.5 RS, which I would guess weighs the same or less than the Legacy, and "my butt" told me my SVX would mash it under any circumstances. I like the 2.5GT though, and you have plenty of aftermarket performance upgrades available to make it into a real beast if you so chose. No denying which one wins the "cool factor" award, though.
