I was just wondering ( and really this is more aimed at the hardcore STI crowd than anyone)...

If Subaru made a special edition ultra-hardcore MY06 STi with massive weight cuts by chucking out the air con, the abs, electric windows,stereo/speakers, had super lightweight interior door panels/carpet/no soundproofing etc, stuck on composite wings/boot/bumpers & bonnet, super light alloys, no underseal, basic rear seats etc etc pumped it to 330bhp with front intercooler and performance pack and brought the weight down to 1200kgs and charged £30K for it

That'd give about 275bhp per tonne making it extraordinarily deft :

Kind of a STI RS...

How many of you would want a car like that in this day and age or have the luxury creature comforts become 'just as important' as raw performance?

 

A 300bhp sti thats 1200kg. Who needs 30K. Buy a classic.

 

powerstation spec c type 25 I think is what your after

and it's putting out a bit more than 330bhp, mine does 331, and I've got all creature comforts

 

my MY00 classic is 340ps with all the creature comforts it left the factory with and it only cost me about 18k brand new!!!!!!

 

Mine was a fully trimmed 400bhp classic.

by May it will be a caged shell on four wheels, two seats with the same engine..

should see a "mild" improvment with what's been thrown out of it

Sounds like a group A rally car but you wouldnt get one of those for 30k
Oh and the car your describing is a Spec C you should see how light it is after Prodrive finish with them

Isn't the Motorsport Edition of the Spec C from Litchfields what we're on about here

"MY 06 Impreza WRX STI Spec C 16” Motorsport Edition - £23,995 OTR
(This model has 16” alloys, throw away interior, brakes and is only suitable for Motorsport)"

AFAIK that comes with none of the luxuries normally found (A/C, speakers etc).
