I have no interest in this. The weight balance and suspension setup with a rear wheel drive setup make it good for burnouts and not much else.

Show me an LS1 swapped Miata or RX-7 and I'd like it.

I'd argue that the only interesting parts of a first generation Legacy are the flat engine (gone) and AWD (also gone).

If you insist on a swapped RWD Subaru the first choice should be a 95 impreza Coupe since its quite a bit lighter than the Legacy.

I said Miata because it has a serious weight advantage. I said RX-7 because it has a sexy exterior.

It's all about traction. There are other ways of getting traction with rwd. They might be a little more complicated, but it's unbeatable for the cool factor and nothing I'd expect the typical car person to attempt with all the impractical things they often do.

I just like it because nobody would ever expect it, and Im sure it was done on a very short budget, thats the part I like about it. I sure as hell wouldn't waste my time with it though haha

Yah. I'm sure it handles like ass. But this still takes me back to my first automotive love. The American small block V8. So I'm more than a little biased.

What about a turbo 13B swapped rwd Impreza coupe? Would that be interesting?
