Bubbles' desire isn't on-road performance, Norm. He's only seeking
bragging
rights, but I've trumped him with a Lotus Exige Sport, which is on
order.
His Legacy may have slightly better straight-line performance,


Bragging rights on a Subaru GT sedan? Haven't you been claiming you're
buying a Lotus?
A LGT will not outrun the Exige. What specs are you looking at?

Atomic 4 in my old Pearson 30. It's a very simple engine, fun and easy
to work on. I've never worked on a modern engine, nor would I want to.

The $200 bolt on kits that you are playing with does change the

to be aware of any.


What 200 dollar kits? The Cobb programming module is not 200 dollars,
nor is a CAI and exhaust. I'm not interested in race track
performance. I'm interested in small tweaks for fun driving on local
roads that are generally empty. I have direct experience with these
subtle mods on a 2005 LGT and it's clear that you don't. A bump to 285
HP and the addition of pink springs is not going to hurt anything, and
if you read the LGT and WRX forums, then you know this already.
As for the stock performance, a AWD sedan with a great Q factor that
can outrun most European SD's is pretty cool.

They are $200 kits. Springs, CAI or exhaust. The CAI works because the
turbo is anemic. Over rev the turbo with the new exhaust and CAI and
see what happens. You have no direct experience with anything other
than $200 kits. No wheels, tunable struts, turbo upgrade, or anything
requiring work and $$$$. You don't even mention the well known fuel
pump lag. You have never been on a track or a club member. Instead you
play Mario Andretti wannabe on public highways. If your streets are so
empty why do you claim to have beaten a Porsche and raced a Corvette
already? At what track? You are out looking for races on public roads.
You are dangerous and risk the lives of innocent people.Please, get
some performance driving lessons and buy a block of time at a track.
The people you won't kill will thank you for it. Stop being a jerk.

Is there any car or boat you haven't driven, sailed, or owned?

Uh, you just wrote that the CAI only works on normally aspirated
engines. Now it works because the turbo is anemic. Oops.
If you're gonna troll via googling at least try to keep track of what
you write.

Sorry, you crashed fast.

Nay, nay. That would negate his bragging rights at being able to afford to
*pay* for such things.

So you did the upper end, rings and lower end on the A4 yourself?

Spark plugs. Oh, and an oil change.

Not likely, he doesn't own any metric adjustable wrenches.

All of your budget level mods make the car go faster in a straight
line.

You are not a regular or ever have been on a race track.

You are a reckless fool turning the public roads into your personal
drag strip.

You never had high speed driving instruction.

You are too chicken and inexperienced to go out on a track and go
head to head with others.

You race in traffic, others have to find out the hard way you are
racing.

You have no experience in high speed driving. Your experience is
simply in speeding, that is breaking the law.

You put others at risk with your reckless driving.

You can't handle a faster car. You have no skill. You want straight
line fast.

Did I mention you are reckless, unsafe and a law breaker?

You have never driven a car at high speed on a twisty road for more
than 90 seconds. Try going for an hour continuous on a track.

Sounds like your sailing ethic is splashing into your driving.

Unsafe. Reckless. Unlawful. No commitment. Unskilled. No
mettle. Driveway/dock queen. All show with nothing to show. It's
all about you.

Get real tires. Replace that undersized turbo. Get some struts. Get a
pair of balls.

Most importantly:

Get your jollies on a race track. Be considerate of those who use the
public roads and obey the law. We all can use one less asshole on the
road.

I'm sure BB will loan him a complete set of Whitworths. They'll fit
everything from SAE to metric.
