The LS2 goat is about .5 - .7 faster down the length of the track... something which could EASILY be accomplished in 3rd gear alone...

If "getting the jump" due to your car being AWD is all you have to be proud of, then you shouldn't have wasted the bandwidth to post your stupid story
A stock AWD Outback could take a Corvette Z06 off the line, is that something to brag about?? No, because thats ricer ****, ripping someone from a dig and shutting down is akin to a ricer flyby, its just pathetic.

The Legacy GT is a high 13 second car, trapping just under 100 mph in most tests. The GTO is a low 13 second car, trapping in the 105-110 range in most tests.
You think it's that hard to believe that an AWD car could be ahead of the RWD car through the first two gears - when the RWD car typically only holds a .5 second advantage after 1320 feet?
It's very believable. In fact, it's so believable... because it's true.

All magazine times are accurate.
Oh, and also... a 14.3 is quite a bit faster than a 15 second - 20 year old 3rd gen f-body, a sold truck, and a car you don't own yet.

Ironically what is ricer-like......is your attitude. You should try to be a little more open minded and you might be able to appreciate the "big picture".
