[@simonrinehart6563]

I have an 2009 legacy GTL and that thing is fuuuuun and super quick. With a slightly larger turbo, tune, and the right tires they can easily keep up with an M3 on the track. One issue they have if you want to track day it is the suspension leans to more of a softer comfortable ride then a stiff sporty one.

[@laundrieshanging9077]

LGT are fun, but no B4 RSK

BMW has 2 levels of traction control (dsc, tc). You have to hold the button for a couple seconds for both systems to be defeated, which they didn't do :/

I own a Legacy GT and a 330- the 330 is supposed to be the track car, but the couple times I've taken the Subaru on track, I've been impressed by the times it puts down despite not being very nimble. The AWD hooks out of the corners much faster than RWD with an open diff. No chance against the M3 though, which is a more balanced car.
