Ken sent a buddy over to Chike's house to whack him over the head until he couldn't spell Mazda 6, and now only sees Legacy GT's where ever he goes!

The real turning point happened in that 'Got a ride in a STI' thread I wrote about last week. I love my SVX and working on Subarus in general, and realized I was becoming a Subaru follower for life! I went to look at a Legacy 2.5GT in person and the design just blew me away! I was hooked!

The whacking from Ken's buddy completely removed the MS6 from my mind though...

I agree. No audio upgrades there without some serious modifications to the dash. Possibly not at all...who knows what it looks like behind that facia.

What are the best 0-60 times so far on the GT? The MS6 was in the 6.2 range. Still think a Legacy STi with 300hp would be awesome.

from lurking at LegacyGT.com, i found out the stereo and climate controls share the same CIRCUIT BOARD! some nut-job spliced-in an iPod to it somehow, and must run a CD with nothing but silence recorded on to it to allow his iPod to play through the stock stereo.

umm....no thanks.

The 0-60 time of 6.2 for the MazdaSpeed 6 is just an estimate. Road & Track figures it'll be closer to 5.5 seconds in reality.

There have only been two full tests (w/ performance results) of the Legacy 2.5GT to date:

Road & Track 10/04
0-60mph 5.6s
0-100mph 15.5s
1/4 mile 14.3 @ 96.2mph

Car & Driver 10/04
0-60mph 5.7s
0-100mph 16.0s
1/4 mile 14.2 @ 96mph

-Chike

P.S. A Legacy STI would be nice, but the current price of the 2.5GT fits perfectly into my family's budget. A $30K+ Legacy STI would not...
