    Talking Check me out. I`m famous.

    This is the article on the 2005 Legacy GT in the current issue of AUTOWEEK. Can you find my name in there?





    They didn`t print everything I said about the car, but at least they got my main gripe in. The paint is pretty dang soft and easy to swirl. I don`t think anybody who knows me is going to be surprised that when I finally get my chance to be quoted in a magazine that I end up being quoted talking about the paint quality. lol

    Funny to see the comment about the paint.

    I hada letter to the editor of some Chevy Magazine some 10-15 years ago. I also was mentinoned in Car Craft in a 1994 contest. I actually won a drawing by Chip Foose.

    So there.... :moon:

    You know how you can hold yourself on an incline with your clutch? Try that with the LGT and your car will immediately be filled with a stench ranker than the 7th ring of hell. If you launch any higher than about 4.5 RPM then it will just stink up the track and you`ll get a poor time. It took about 2000 miles for the smell to go away just with normal driving. It has been noted by every 5MT driver on LGT.com and SOA doesn`t seem to care. Other than it just smelling bad, I don`t really see much of a problem. Untill it really starts to bug me I`ll just learn to drive without burning the clutch.
