Kind of hard to believe he's got a legacy doing 0-60 in 3 seconds and get up to 170mph with a EJ20 motor.

Speedo reads in Km/hr, so 100km/h = 62mph.
Impressive, nonetheless.

Yeah that's what I'm saying. 4 seconds in is when he launches and at 7 seconds he's at 100KPH.

I just watched an RS6 video and it wasn't even close to this car. I wonder if his speedo is geared wrong or something?

The stock 3.90 will do about 170mph at 7,500 RPM on 225/45/R17 tires. It's quite unlikely that this video is real.

Heh, why, because your car won't do it? :P It sounds like a sequential dog box, for one thing, there's probably a complete rally car drivetrain in it. Watch some in-car videos of WRC cars, you'll see the same pulls. This is no off-the-shelf Legacy.

...and, again, the speedo is in Kilometers.

And I will bet he has 4.44 gears with a 3.90 speedo gear to make it look like he is accelerating very quickly. Where's the video of the car at the dragstrip with actual times. It is neat and very fast, but I think some things may have been manipulated so it appears uber fast. How many cars can accelerate that hard in fifth gear at those speeds?

Yeah if it has 4.444 there's no way. My car has 4.444 gears and I top out the speedo in my car regularly. I went by a speed sign the other day on the freeway and it said my speed was 60 and the speedo was reading 67. The faster you're going the more the speedo is off. So I'd imagine when it's reading 140 it's probably more like 125. If that is the case, this seems more realistic.

I'd still love to see it from outside the car or at least a POV shot.

i have to say that after watching this a few more times i have to agree something is not real.He can apparently accelerate from 118 MPH to just shy of 160 in 5.5-6 seconds(and yes I know its reading in KPH :roll: ).Also he covers 2.2 miles in just over 45 seconds :?: :?:

Without the mod list you can only guess, it could have any amount of horsepower and goodies to get him there. 500bhp, matching drivetrain and a damn good launcher, then why not.
