Nigel Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 That looks like a Subaru Legacy Turbo Wagon to me, so that would be more like 160 hp and 180 lb/ft if it's stock. Still a far cry from 500 hp though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearheadstik Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 You guys think that 240 is seriously a 500hp car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I can do without the over-enthusiastic announcer. Other than that, looked like both drivers were driving real hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 i think those figures were a little over/under exagerated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silversix Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 You guys think that 240 is seriously a 500hp car? No. I also doubt its a 400hp car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nscason Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 think about it though.... subaru wagon.... 4wd. that thing is going to have some kind of cornering advantage over a z. i think for a "500hp" z that was a pretty small course. lets see what happens when they both are on a bigger course. my money would be more on the z. i dunno, just my thoughts.

big-phil Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I would say that 240z has......????...mmmmmm....315---350hp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 An autocross is not about horse power. Driver experience is the biggest factor on an auto cross course. I've done it for years and have a buddy that has a 90 hp VW rabbit that will wax the course with me in my 400 plus rwhp Z. You name the car and he has probably embarrased it on an autocross course.

ihatejoefitz Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I regularly see completely stock mini coopers cleaning up at the auto x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 We had a tan Ford Fiesta that cleaned house at my old autox in CA. People in Camaros and Vettes and Mustangs and (insert your fast car here) used to laugh at the car when they saw it for the first time in the paddock. Then it would blow their doors off. You should have seen the look on their faces then. Went to the big track with that same club and I passed the Fiesta with such a huge speed differential that I literally thought his car was broken. Nope, the car was fine, it just topped out at about 90 mph. That Z actually looks pretty good, just needs to be lowered, flared, and running stickier tires and the suspension to back it up and I think he'd be quite a bit faster... then again that pretty much describes all Z's.

aziza z Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 idk if its 500hp but i think the car sounds awesome. i wonder if hes a member here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 The wagon is fast in the parking lot...but sure dumb looking on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nscason Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 The wagon is fast in the parking lot...but sure dumb looking on the street. i couldnt agree more. i would rather have a crappy z than a nice looking wagon. even a run down z rolling out of mex turns heads. you arent going to get that with a wagon. i am doing all kinds of body work on mine and it looks like hell. i am still getting ppl that want to buy it. aparently i am not the only one around here that sees not what it is but what it could be.

(goldfish) Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 But I still wanna turbo my wagon. 350 hp wagon sleeper. I think the one in the video is a GT. 2.5l n/a 180hp? i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I loved my 99 Outback. It wasn't a race car, and certainly wasn't fast, but it was a fun car to drive and I did once take it way back in the Pismo Dunes. In fact my wife and I are going to get another one soon. Wagons rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
