Building for Speed
Aka: How I stopped worrying and learned to love the build
By Ryan Douthit, Subiesport Magazine
Subaru’s Legacy GT is an often-overlooked performance sedan. Out of the box it has 75% of the performance of the STI, but without the racer looks that turns so many heads. Still, it has the potential to be fast – very fast. For those of us with growing families and professional careers it’s a car that lets us have our cake and eat it to.
Stock, the Legacy GT has a 243chp turbocharged motor that shares many components with the STI. The shortblock is identical.

After two years in the shadow of teammates Travis Pastrana and co-driver Christian Edstrom, Block and Gelsomino have won two of the first three events in dominating fashion.

The plan in the Rally America season is to hold just one true snow rally. Sno*Drift in January leads off the season, and some competitors skip the event in favor of the much more temperate Rally in the 100 Acre Wood held in Missouri a month later. But this year, Mother Nature caught many teams with their long johns down as winter weather again dominated the results at the second round of the 2008 rally racing championship series.
