Ok i own a 91 Subaru Legacy Turbo 5mt AWD, and I love the car just had it painted so it looks great, and I also love it because these cars are VERY rare especially with a 5mt, anyhow i'v run into the conundrum of where its time to put some money into it. stock this thing comes with 160hp and 180tq and i'd say those might be a bit underrated. anyhow it's got 280 000km and runs good but if i were to do anything it would be rebulid the engine and put on a newer turbo mabee off a wrx, now with these mods id be running in WRX territory mabee a bit quicker so not too bad, but for say 5-6g's which i would have into my car after all this, what other cars might i be able to get into that would have more power?...DSM's are ok but i hear they are unreliable and to find one in really nice shape might be tricky, and also there are a lot of them, what about goin red neck and getting an older iroc or z28 camaro i know i could have a 300-400hp one of those for that kinda price...what other car would you guy suggest? NO FWD!!!!! or do i just keep my baby and live with the little less power but having something that almost no one has??
here are some pics of my car!

In my opinion,

It's got a good paint job, you like it that it's a rarity on the roads, and you love the car, with gas prices and day to day driving I think that outweighs having more power.

Unless you really like to tear up the streets and you need more pull, I'd say stick with your baby and save your money.
