'05 Legacy turbo vs. B4 RSK
Thought this be a good thread to compare the new USDM Legacy turbo with the current JDM B4 RSK edition. I like the fact that the new Legacy is lighter than the current one, but I prefer the BE body style, mainly because the new one looks almost like an Accord. I wish I had the specs for both of these cars so it would be easier to compare, maybe someone else here has it?? So what do you prefer, the '05 or the B4 RSK??

The specs between the two are quite similar.
The main diff is that the new JDM Turbo legacy develops roughly the same torque at 2400 rpm vs 5000 rpm for the RSK.
The new legacy about 150 pounds lighter.
Although twin turbo sounds sexy in the real world subaru never really got the system to work well and power delevery was very non linear.
The new Legacy GT B spec is a giant step up on the old RSK.
