The average person never gives it a second glance in traffic

KahnBB6 - My last car

05 Legacy GT w/ FP HTA Green turbo (between GT30 and GT35R) , all the supporting mods, and of course the bumper cover went back on. I'm finished with turbo 4 cylinders though. From now on if I have boost it will have displacement to go with it.

That is a nice looking Legacy! I like the look of that generation. I actually passed up a chance to buy a black on black '05 5-speed GT before finding my SC. It would have been a much faster car out of the box (and easier to smog with BPU) but I couldn't fathom not having a rear-drive two door at the time. Now I'd probably buy one because I'd rather have the horsepower over smog hassles with boosting my SC.

I've still yet to try a turbocharged four cylinder car. Displacement is always good but I like small and boosted too.

I owned my fastback for 9 years and i love it, my sc3 i had it for 3 years now and i love it

But.. I have to say i dont know why people compare them there is a weight/power difference, people mistake it with a s14, that is true but some older gentleman did call mine a pontiac gto once..
its like comparing trousers a dress shirt and tie to a roll up long sleeve dress shirt, t shirt and jeans
the Lexus its more mature, the Nissan can be a bit more youthful. both are Fun = I<3 RWD

to keep in subject Toyota ft86 or a new Silvia would be my picks in a couple of years.

I used to daily drive a GSX-R750 - It built my tolerance for speed. Everything else after that felt so slow. Hmmm.. I should just get another one...

That will be my next vehicle

After riding a big bike a liter bike feels slow and wife's 08 gsxr600 feels like a moped .
