I do think a 2 door legacy gt, with a bit more aggressive styleing offered with the 3.0 boxer for the lower end, and a turbo, or twin turbo (single turbo's are just more effective it seems) would make a very strong competitor to today's sports cars. with the non turbo model it would compete with the 330, mustang, and other economical "coupes" and such, and with the turbo it would compete with the m3, 350z, SC430, and other big-name sports cars.

however, this won't ever happen, and we're just dreaming..

Like I said before, wouldn't it compete more with an M5 than an M3, the impreza is more of an M3 competitor. I don't think it would compete with the other cars really either. The Z's are sports cars, SC430 is a grand tourer. The Legacy is a midsized Sedan/Wagon. A car built as a coupe would be a better use of time and money for subaru, hence B11S . Also a 2.5 turbo is more than enough for this type of car.

M3 is a 2 door sedan/sportscar... M5 is a 4 door GT.. therefore, any 2 door fast car would be more of a m3 competitor... any 4 door fast/luxery car would be more of an m5 competitor.

I'm saying take the base styling of the Legacy GT. Make it a 2 door. like the 2.5 RS, however it would look better. Then make it look slighty more aggressive (i like the styling stock, however in the market i'm looking at, it would have to look fast) It would be like the g35 coupe and sedan.

This would then be a 2 door grand touring/sports car.

The only thing that competes with an M5 are other 80+ thousand dollar cars..

Ah okay, I didn't know that's how they were differentiated. I thought it was the class they were from.

B11s

my opinion is that the b11s could use some refinement. Shorten the front and make the back more agressive. It is over all a 6 out of 10 for me. It looks like they tried makeing a sports car out of a 2dr outback. Where is the spioler?


Just my noobie opinion

Yes shorten the front and make less space for the engine bay like our SVX. Sounds logical to me.

Who needs twin turbos for their 5spd auto ez30 anyway?

And specs of what? If you mean the Legacy it's not as much as the B11s. If you mean the Beast11s then about 400 of what you want.
