the 2.5GT SpecB is not (I REPEAT, IS NOT) a 6 cylinder engine. they have the 3.0 one that is a 6 cylinder, and it costs less. this particualar is a 4 cylinder and is as kickass as it gets!

[8200rpm]

when will subaru put a forced induction 6 cylinder in the legacy?? ive been a subaru fan for a long time but lately ive been looking at german sedans as my next car. 243 hp and 24mpg. my wrx has more hp and gets better mpg. subaru needs to step it up.

I think saying the whole car name "Subaru Legacy Spec B" once was enough on the start - maybe shorten it after the first time because it gets a little annoying

@Howie262 see that is where youre wrong. this is NOT subarus premier high performance sports sedan, the STi is. This car is for people that like to go fast but not look like a 17 year old kid when doing it. And why would anyone want a Saab, their old cars are pieces of shit, the new ones are better but you said you have a 2000. you have 320 lbs of torque, ok how much money did it take for you to get it that high? I have a spec b and it is so much better then my brothers 2001 Saab 95 in every way

Love this engine/AWD in my 2008 OBXT. Yes an Outback but this one still has the S-Drive, unlike the new ones. Drove it on the track in SuperSharp mode for a day and my lap times were similar to other guys' with their Z06 Vettes and Cobra Mustangs. Oh well, I simply refrained from hard braking and simply slammed it through the corners.

Saabs cannot keep up with me, even the Aeros. It's all about the power delivery.

[Howie262]

Thats it???

dude my saab kicks the shit outa this XD, this is no match... LOL xD

lol it thought i could compare this to my year 2000 saab95, being that they're in the same class..... but its not.

@320 lbs of torque in my saab, this thing doesnt have a chance.

Wow, this being subaru's premier high performance sports sedan... thats a true failure...

now if you want a true turbo sedan , go saab, well... they invented the turbo anyhow.....

BOrnfrom jets..........

i'm so sad i couldn't afford to buy the '09 spec b before the ugly cousins came out in 2010.

i have the '08 GT and i really wanted the spec b. oh well.... :-/

[kevn99]

@SoggiFry also it has a nicer interior, 6 speed manual, 18 inch wheels.

[kevn99]

I have an '09 Spec B in super rare satin white pearl. Absolutely love it.

[ankerous88]

I have this '08 and did performance tuning and performance exhaust. It truly is a race car in lamb's clothing, a blast to drive. And it kicks butt in snow and rain- can't beat it.

Good review, I own one of these cars (liberty as its called in Aust), spot on about the transmission...How many times do they say "2008 Subaru Legacy Spec B", I mean I know they are reviewing the car but I think that watching it we might have been aware of the make and model after the first few times!!

Yea d00d, I hear ya.

STI power for grown ups
