closing the hood/slow shutter speed trick:

but if you're going to get a Spec B, you need to opt for the turbo-4 with the scooped hood over the flat-6 model posted above:

Subaru's have always been kinda funky looking, until now. I think it looks hot, with the performance to match.
Good Times

No. And I'm not going looking for it either because I'm sure I will want one. Of each. :D

The Subaru Legay 2.5GT's are soooooo fun to drive. I want one, but then I want an Audi A4 too... and a BMW 335, and a Corvette Z06, and ... :lol:

Somehow you missed the Skyline GTR on your list. ;)

Meh, I don't really find Skylines particurally inspirational. But give me a Lexus IS-F any day of the week!

Really? Car & Driver just had a pretty incredible review of the Skyline vs the Corvette Z06 and the Porsche 911 turbo. They said rarely do they test comparable vehicles and have them differ by more than tenths of seconds around the track, but the Skyline was several WHOLE seconds quicker than everything else. They basically said this car sets the new benchmark for performance and it was the least expensive car in the test. Half the price of the Porsche, actually.

The skyline is quite the accomplishment. It's incredibly fast, especially for the price. Look at the time around the N-ring, it is insane how fast it is.

However, I don't find it that great looking of a car, not to mention, it doesn't have that 'exotic' feel to it.

Plop me in a Koenigsegg CCX or CCXR any day of the week and I'll be 1000x happier.

We looked at the IS. Not the F series. Really impressive cars...little much for my wife i feel. We went with the acura TL. Over 250 hp (NA). It does all she needs it to do. lol
