Ok so there are loads of different models UK import ect I've had Imports for 6 years now so know what I think but what really is the best model as standard ? Everyone bows down to the 22B but some say the extra width makes it harder to drive on B roads ect as you have the '911' feeling when aproching other cars.
I have a V5 type R v-ltd which I think this (and more so the V6) is really the best connoisseurs Impreza as it is light weight has the stronger STI engine, DCCD, water spray, close 'box', quick rack, strut braces, roof vent, ect,ect !
Back in Jan 2000 CAR had the ultimate shootout with 22B, RB5, P1, ect ect it said the Type R was 'undoubtedly the fastest here' and 'the top dogs bollocks'
So without trying to cause a arguement what really is the God of the scoob world does the 22B still rule or what about the S202 or Spec C ?
Of course I like this on best [IMG] http://images5.fotopic.net/?iid=yygcgd&outx=576&oq=0 [/IMG]

But then thats because it's mine!

Cheers Col

 

<can open, worms everywhere>

The 22B is by far the most 'special' IMHO, but in terms of straight-from-the-factory spec it would probably have to be the S203.

 

they are all special

 

I'd have to say the S201 hmmmmmm I want one

 

always wanted an electra for pure shock value

 

The Electra One was only a show car - the S201 was the limited-run production version. I don't think any were ever brought to the UK - I've certainly never seen one.

 

22B Most aggresive looking and the nearest to the Rally bread of Subaru`s.

R.B

 

yep electra was just a one off but never seen an s201 in the flesh either

 

this is a nice site for more details for them

My car is surely the best one - otherwise I'd be driving something else.

 

S203 weighs 1445 Kg which is a bit of a shock as these type of derivatives are supposed to be lightweights arent they???

 

For comparison: the standard '05 STI weighs 1460kg and the Spec C 17" is 1370.

depends iwhat you mean by special? speed type ra. looks comfort 22b

 

v6 type r v.ltd. When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every last m.f on the road, accept no substitute.

 

Have to agree with Doug on this one

 

how much does the v6 type r weigh please?

 

prolly around 1260

 

STi RA - 1240kg.

 

Although the fatmans will be slightly less courtesy of a Mr.Fancypants rear spoiler and bonnet.

 

1330 kg
350BHP, 347 ft lb torque, after a 'safe' re map to accept Optimax without octane booster (IMHO hardly constitutes a major modification.)
Most people tend to frown on this motor maybe because it has the unfavoured 'bugeyes', I dont know, but would give most cars a run for their money in the right conditions.

 

my ra is 1240kgs and remapped for optimax two different rr both showed around 250-255 at the wheels (and 320 and 337 at the fly). Also has the learn to breathe between gearchange gearbox .

 

Pmsl@Doug and light weight wheels m8

 

sti ra 1160kgs

 

depends on year and kit content, no air con and no electric pack, no ice, no rear spoiler then may get down to 1160kgs
