On my way home yesterday and ended up lined up with some suit on his cell phone in a Silver 2006 Subaru Legacy GT. I hear a quiet rev come from his car and look over. He nods. So I stage up and launch. He pulled out by about 1/2 a length when the light turned green. I quickly made up ground, he dropped back about 1/2 a length when he had to shift second. I was up 1 1/2 - 2 lengths or so by 80 and he backed off. Wasn't much, but it was better the the diesel trucks and what not that try and race me home every day .

 

No way it was a GT....If so he must have granny shifted @ 4k to screw with you......
You most likely were running a 2.5i.....with him granny shifting!!
Stock GT's dyno out @200-205whp & 215-220ftlb curb wt is 3356

 

I'm not an idiot, it was a GT . 200whp and a 3500lb car does not = 150whp and a 2500lb car

 

Oh, forgot to say that I'm turbo now running 5PSI .

 

200whp......& 225ftlb does......Even if the feared Escort has a screw, you'd be lucky to have 170ftlb.
So yes, 50whp & 55Ftlb would pound the beastly Escort form Bartow !!

Tell you what.....I'll ask a buddy of mine who has a LGT sedan here in Lakeland if he wants a quick kill...

I have no interest in giving your "sleeper" a solid beat down......Even if I was granny shifting @ 3k & only running a economy map @ 15.2psi....

I'll give you one thing though....you do have a good imagination
