Default 2005 Subaru Legacy GT vs LS2 GTO

on my way home from work today when i encounter a goat in the lane next to me. i look over to find him staring at me then gives me the nod. we were cruising at about 50 mph and once i see the nod we both shared a mutual understanding of what was about to go down.

so we both punch it simoultaneously and no one gets a jump/advantage. we were just side by side dead even from 50 mph to about 100 mph when we had to shut it down due to traffic. but this was the closest race ive ever had. it looked as though we were just parked right next to each other the whole time

when we stop at a red light we both acknowledge each others car and the race that just took place. i also found out that his car was a 2006 ls2 gto 4spd automatic

From what I see, if you would have went from a dig, this would have been a kill story. Nice race though, the close ones are the most fun.

yea if i could get my launch perfected. i find it much more difficult to get a good launch out of an AWD car than a RWD. but what kind of quarter mile times do stock goats mostly hang around? low 13s?

I got my 2006 A4 GTO 2 months ago and pulled 13.5 @ 104MPH on a 2.2 60ft... people say if I knock that diown the a 2.0 60 that I will see low 13's

my guess is low-mid 13's with the A4

You're not going to have to worry about a GTO killing you from a dig...


GTOs can hit low 13s but again, launching it is not the easiest thing to do

The Achilles heel of a solid performer. I hear you've got a new method for launching though..

thats good to hear but i rarely race from a dig and when i do i usually am rushed too much to make a decent launch. maybe at the track where i have time to prepare...different story

i really want to take on an ls2 gto 6spd MT from about a 20 roll to about 100. i think it would be a good race, but after 100 is where the goat shines
