Legacy GT revs high

[Peter]

I got myself a 2006 Legacy GT about a month ago. I'm starting to notice that
the car is losing it's "punch" during acceleration. I used to get good
acceleration at 3000rpm but now I don't feel it until 5000rpm.

Is this normal or is something wrong with the computer?

Does your 2006 LGT has LameDuck - Sport - SportSharp knobbie or that is
just scheduled for
2007 models?

Are you in an auto or manual??

If it is the auto then the thing is you never know what gear you are pulling
in, if it is a manual and you are getting same revs in the same gear and it
feels weaker it could be just that you are getting used to the power that
the LGT provides. A couple things...

Reset your ECU, this will make it relearn your driving habits. All you have
to do is go into the fusebox under the hood and pull the ECU fuse wait for
about 30 seconds and re insert, read the fuse diagram to figure it out, its
on the lid. It should make the car a little livelier for a bit anyways.

Ever think about investing in the Accessport? I personally don't have one
but from what others have said, this is a great device to make the car more
drivable even in just stage one mode. Look up Cobb tuning in Google and
check them out.

Finally, always check out www.legacygt.com best legacy site on the web!!!

Are you saving money running a lower grade of fuel than recommended?
Can you go to the dealership and drive one on the lot and feel the
difference?

It feels as though the computer is putting me into a higher gear too
soon.

I will have to try this and see how it goes.

What does it mean by stage one or two etc?

No, using the expensive 92 octane stuff.

I've driven about 5 GTs at dealers recently and they all had a lot of
power. Even my car had the same power as the others in the beginning.
Don't know why it's lost it.
