RE: [Shotimes] Re: turbos and stuff ...<br><br><<And my Subie has a single
turbo on the "pancake" four.>><br><br>I don't know which Subaru Ron got, but
all this talk got me so curious that<br>I test drove both the STi and the
Legacy GT today. Both run like crazy with<br>the STi being much faster.
Both shifted nicely and both had significant<br>turbo lag with the STi being
the worst. However, both are a ball to drive<br>and I'd own one in a
heartbeat, BUT...<br><br>I checked the stickers. The STi I drove had a
sticker of $33K plus the<br>dealer had added on a $750 market markup plus a
protection package (wax,<br>paint protectant--all BS) which made it nearly
$34K. The Legacy listed at<br>over $28K plus the extras, putting it near
$30K. For that you get<br>non-leather seats (I know, it's not important)
and the single worst stereo<br>I've ever heard in a modern production
automobile. I saw few improvements<br>in the car itself to tell me that the
same $22K car of last year now costs<br>nearly $30. That's a $8,000 engine,
folks. I think the Neon SRT5 is<br>probably just as fast for $20K, so I
don't really get it (the STi is an<br>entirely different matter, BTW--it's a
race car plain and simple). The only<br>difference in the SR5 and the
Legacy GT is that the SR5 seems faster because<br>it makes more noise. NO
matter what anyone says, Chrysler still makes some<br>crappy cars and a Neon
is a Neon.<br><br>For $34K I can have an Acura TL 6-speed with leather,
navigation, all the<br>bells and whistles, and great (almost unreal) stereo
and still go 0-60 in<br>about the same time as the STi. I guess it's a
matter of priorities or AWD<br>or something. <br><br>I enjoyed both cars
immensely, for that matter and agree they are a blast,<br>but the price
Subaru put on these cars just doesn't make any sense at
all.<br><br>JMO<br><br><br>Ron<br>96 PG<br>92
