The 22B is probably the rarest of scoobs but it is by far not the best one ever built.
You are looking at an STi Type R V4 here, a phase 1 car with lots of phase 1 parts, the P1 is based on an STi Type R V5 but with all the good bits removed, the Spec C is an evolving car, getting better everytime and the only scoob you want if you want a real drivers car

Come on Tony, you know saying something like that is stupid. The most dynamic car to date in terms of performance is the STi5/6 RA's, the spec C is getting there and is the best modern car to buy in terms of dynamics but its still a bit of a lard ****. A 2.5 Spec C would be nice.

"What an amazing car. Ultimate Impreza? I think so, the ride isn't as compromised as in it's current versions, so you feel the chassis working"

Isnt the spec C really just a 'new shape' RA?. Lightened/stripped out with modified engine/box/turbo/suspension etc..






Nothing 'new' in concept apart from the fact it is based on the newest shape car.....

What does the 'C' stand for anyway?
Was there an A or B?, will there be a D?

BTW, The most dynamic car to date in terms of performance is the STI4R unless you are biased of course or positively need 4 doors.

Nope its more than just that, its a more developed car, it has a longer wheel base and the only impreza now to have a quick rack, A-DCCD and nasty tyres as standard (plus twin scroll, bigger rollerbearing turbo, AVCS, better engine, better gearbox, better clutch, better build quality etc, well just a completely better car in all )

Oh i always thought the newest lightweight cars were based on the newest shaped models, just the same as the rally cars were

The 'C' stands for Competition AFAIK

Errrrrm dont get me wrong here but if the STi4 Type R was the best dynamic performance car, then why stop making it? The newest JDM cars have more power and considerably more torque than the STi 4 Type R, plus with a 6 speed box which is well ratio'd, so you may find yourself a little incorrect here
