Default Subaru legacy gt at the drag strip

got a chanceto take my legacy (mods in sig) to the local 1320. Due to a clutch that's about go, I decided not to launch in the 2 runs that I made to prevent from boiling the clutch. So with NO LAUNCH my better of the two times was 14.245 @ 102.59 with a crappy 2.609 60'. And keep in mind that it was 85 degrees

Just thought I'd share my time since a few ppl on here where asking what my car has run at the strip. Overall I'm pleased with my trap speeds and I'm hoping at this point my car is about as fast as an LS2 GTO.

Feel free to discuss

You might want to throw a few more bolt-ons on the subie if you want to be LS2 GTO fast. They usally do better than 14.2 and trap 105 to 107. Bite the bullet and get a new clutch so you can take advantage of your AWD launch.

The trap is what suprised me. But I am sure there is more in it. I still don't think it is a 12 second car.

My guess with one of those "**** THIS CAR UP" launches, it could eek out a 13 flat...[&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:][&:]

nice car. Wish they would make an sti version of the legacy with something real nasty under the hood. I love the way it looks.

yea the 60 foot time and trap speed is what indicates to me that it is not a 14 second car. i think with an agressive launch at not so brutal summer temps, i can get about a 1.8 60' and low-mid 13s @ 103-106 mph which would put right up there with an LS2 goat which is really all i want out of my car.

definetly going to go back to the track once cooler temps roll in and with a new clutch
