True

Since I just went turbo, I've been looking at tuning for the Legacy GT. Check out the torque gains from just a reflash, no mechanical mods:

Damn near as much as a GXP ~3450 lbs. Comfortable, but slightly sloppy ride - it needs better sway bars, maybe a bit more damping in the shocks too.

Since the Subie was back at the dealer getting the STI short throw shifter installed, I took the GXP to work today, really appreciated the better bolsters in the GXP seats. Acceleration feels about the same, but I'm getting 21 MPG (US) in the city with the Subie.

To get back on topic, I'd lose to the Genesis with either vehicle.

Its nice to see that you kept your GXP. I really wish you would have installed your headers and intake. At Least that way the car would have been finished. Anyhow, good luck with your new car and I'm sure once the GXP stuff is gone you'll be dumping that money into the Subie. Right?

Turbo cars are no joke! I'm ordering some spray here real soon and will be installing a TC box. Only going to spray a 100 shot through 2nd. I can't wait.
