spec Cs are 2.0L

the second one is a NZ new and i think it's a spec R not C

[newsuba]

Bingo.

GR Spec C's are all JDM imports, 2.0L.

From the outside the Spec C loses the front foglights, different wheels, smaller door mirrors too, which makes the FF&T a very early NZ new car or a possible grey import.

Just two days ago Subaru announced the introduction of the Subaru WRX STI tS versions for the real enthusiasts out there, now the company has launched an even higher top-shelf model, the race-ready Subaru WRX STI Spec C version, into the Japanese market.

This version is even more anabolic than the tS, with more heavy duty features. The Spec C gets a bigger, stronger front suspension strut brace reinforcement and underbody chassis strengthening, while the rear gets a conventional yet beefier mechanical limited-slip differential by Torsen.

Other major changes over the normal STI include an aluminium bonnet, laminar glass for the front and side windows and a lighter battery. The interior is also stripped out leaving only the bare essentials in the aid of conserving weight.

It’s basically the cream of the crop, and puts every bit of Subaru Technica International’s knowledge of motorsport all into one car. If you’re after the basis for a weekend racer, or even a car that’s ready to race straight out of the box, then the Spec C is a surefire option – it even comes with its own puncture repair kit for the tyres. The only problem with this car is it’s not officially going to go on sale in Australia.

Other technical highlights include a new ball bearing turbocharger and a re-programed engine computer to help it produce extra torque and power over the standard WRX STI. It also gets a water spray system for the intercooler so the car can run cool and perform at its best no matter how many laps you throw at it. Overall the engine produces 227kW of power and a V8-like 430Nm of torque.

The WRX STI Spec C is now on sale in Subaru dealerships throughout Japan.

I'd have a 2.0 over a 2.5 any day having driven both versions of the Version 10. Bigger isn't always better!

Lol.

You have just proven something about yourself with this comment.

Standard brakes and seats are the regular STI items.

i.e. 4-pot/2-pot, awful stock seats.

Your silver car is the very latest MY11 version.

;D

anyone heard of the spec c ra-r?

[sultan]

bullshit. it's pure marketing. slap on a couple of bolt on parts, give it a special moniker and make it a limited production run, and people will drool and pay what ever for it.

stock for stock the spec c might be better than the 2.5 sti according to blkpanther, but who cares. it's the potential that matters. if the 2.0 is faster than the 2.5 it will be limiting factors in the 2.5 turbo or computer. set it on a level playing field and the 2.5 will be shit loads more fun. it's easier to change turbo or computer than it is to change an entire engine.

agreed!

either way its been proven that its rather easy to get 220 kw . so why pay that much for a 2l with a badge when a 2.5 had so much more potential .

displacement = power putting turbos out of the equation imo.

They were all 6 speed, well the STI's anyway. And NZ new was 2.5L, versus Japanese 2.0L. And i've never come across a V10 STI without brembos
