Fastest Subaru?

Hi Guys

Just wondering, which Subaru do you think is fastest, ranging from the 1990's Impreza's to the 2011 Impreza, or the Legacy, which is best?
 

Pffffft - 22b - not a chance...

@ 530pp with sports tyres the 3 premiums kill it, so does the '04 Spec C standard car - which is pretty awesome, but the 3 premiums are crazy fast when dialled in.

Unless you're talking max tuning, then haven't a clue, but lb for lb, go for any of the three premiums or '04 Spec C 👍

I agree with the standard Spec C model! If I'm honest I think the Legacy B4 Blitzen has slightly more power than the premiums, although if I recall is is pretty heavy in comparison too. Oh, and also check out the 2003 Legacy range...thanks to RJ posting up a tune for one of the wagons, I now have the B4 2.0GT, B4 2.0GT Spec.B, B4 3.0R, and the wagon versions too. The 2.0GT Spec.B models are the fastest overall though.

Oh wait, nope...the fastest is the Impreza Super Touring...derp
 
thank for the info guys, i want to race some Scooby and i was wondering which one was best, i have the Scooby TC, i need to get the Super touring car.
 
Everyone likes the 22b because its basically a road going rally car. Try that.
 
Well if race cars count, how about the gt300 impreza's? Both are exceptionally quick.
 
Well im looking for a Scooby which is really quick but i can also cruise in, so proferably a road car. But i will still take into acount the Race cars aswell.

Premium '05 Spec C Impreza.

Yep, it's very fast, but also has the best diversity of aero styling - so if you're going to cruise and show off your car, this gives you the most options to 'play with' to get the look you want.

At around 500-530pp racing, it can certainly hold it's own when racing too, get it properly dialled in and you can easily take out guys who haven't got their NSX's or CSL 'dialled in' - I have.

The real high speed tracks like Monza and Le Mans etc you'll struggle, but for most of the tracks it'll kick ass when you get it setup really well.

Only problem is horrific 'power band' - max power for the '05 Spec C is around 2000rpm from shift light, so if you're running 100% power limiter you have to get used to changing so early. The kind of rules out Auto gearboxs that'll keep you out the power band.

But if you're allowed to power limit in the races you do, you can tune the engine accordingly to make this better.

Once aero is added, turn it down the minimum, use the aero points you "save" on power instead - it's a beast.

Mine is chrome orange with black wheels and the custom rear spoiler (looks like the one from the EVO super raly car) - aka the flying carrot.

:D
 
Cusco anybody..?? I prefer the RWD one, as I'm still relatively clueless regarding 4WD and diffs...

I really love the Cusco's too, but there is only one setup out there and it is with srf on, so I can't really say how fast it actually is.
 
What about the Super Touring Car? (orange) i have that never tried it as i think its slower then the Cusco's anyone verify if i am right or wrong????????
 
The Legacy Blitzen is an absolute rocket in the right hands.

4wds are easy - most common fault or problem is front tyre wear though.

Handling:

1) rear toe geoe negative
2) rear brakes go higher
3) Rear ride height lower than front - keep adjusting with 3mm increments (that's what I use -3 or -6 normally does the job).

LSD's:

Initial + Acceleration

Front = make outside tyre spin first
Rear = make inside tyre spin first

So something vaguely like:

Default=

10/10
40/40

change to:

20/10
24/12

Loosen the front a little, tighten up the rear (to compensate for the extra drive going to rear), then keep tweaking until required wheel spins first.

LSD Braking

Double front, half rear (defualt) i.e.

change from 20/20 to 40 / 10

Tyre wear:

Put as much drive to rear as possible, anywhere from around 30/70 to 10/90 split.

This is all subjective to power,weight, tyres and race distance. But once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy to tune 4WD's

This is just a very rough guide to get most / all 4wd's half decent, the variables are so great as 4wd cars vary so much in the game, it's hard to be specific.

A Veryon is very different to a Diahatsu shopping trolly with 4wd - same principle, but numerical settings might vary a wee bit.

Also tyres to, same car with comfort softs may need different numercial settings when fitted with racing softs - take each car individually but apply above principle generally to get easy, quick semi affective results.

Learn from tuning each car by the above generally, see what needs to be adjusted from each situation (track / tyres / power / race distance etc) - gain experience so when you have to tune a car for a specific situation you know what and how to adapt / change.

Make the use of ABC setup options for all round use on all types of tracks too.

Very FWD, I should be alright going this way with suspension. I drive a lot of FWD cars. Probably because that's what I've always driven IRL.

LSD's:

Initial + Acceleration

Front = make outside tyre spin first
Rear = make inside tyre spin first

That's probably all I needed to know, in terms I understand. Give the grip to the inside front and outside rear, job done.

the variables are so great as 4wd cars vary so much in the game, it's hard to be specific.

This is why I've mostly left them be. In many ways, the complications double due to all wheels being driven. I've got most of the day to myself tomorrow, so I think I'm going to splash some Cr on a premium Cusco :sly:

Save your cash, use the 300k or whatever to buy 2 or 3 road going 4wds, then have a go at tuning them - maybe a premium scooby, gtr (not R35 though) and Audi TTS etc.

Then buy custom suspension, LSD + torque distributor and maybe gearbox + maybe a bit more power, then go into your lobby and have a go.

More beneficial than just one car, especially just a racecar that feels so good naturally.

I'd say around a twisty track the Cusco's will easily keep pace with much higher powered opposition, mostly thanks to the amazing handling. (@br1x - My tune for them is absolutely sound with SRF off, I just used it more often at the time I put the tunes together) I run them both with only ABS for company, and have yet to completely lose control of them without someone else being the initiator to the problem.
I've matched pace with guys in Impreza TC's around Spa, losing out on the straights, but right back on their bumpers through the bends. The TC's were running at least 100bhp more than the 390 something of the Cusco.

With the right tuning, the Super Touring version can be an absolute barnstormer too, I've been collecting all the colours but still love the black model best of all.

My personal favourite road model is still the 22b though.

Track and PP will determine which one is faster. I have yet to see any of the premiums win an online race at any pp lower than 500 (with a good driver handling it) unless it is Tsukuba Circuit. I have raced the 22B at lower pp and it seems to be the faster of the lot at lower pp (450 to 500). Above 500pp the standard spec C is my choice of the subaru road cars.
 
I'm a fan of subarus I have test moded and broke in every subaru on the game there are only a few I recomend for drive in fast races. All the P. subarus are the best over all but the S. stc subaru is very good
And the S. rally car subarus. all the subaru I just listed can reach 210 at there max there nice car good in 550 pp race but it seem there a trick my friend showed me he can get the spec c rm and the STC subarus to got about 230mph. I wish I could remeber how need to ask him again lol.
