120kg lighter than the normal STi, produces the same power, 280ps but in practice its more like 300bhp

here's an article;

"Japanese Domestic Market - 2001-2002STi RA
Continuing to homologate the Impreza for rallying, Subaru produced the STi RA using the Newage bodyshell. Available only in white, and stripped of the none essential equipment needed in rallying, the STi RA has stiffer suspension and quicker steering. There is a further stripped down version available that loses the ABS, brakes and 17" wheels of the standard car. Both versions have the same gearbox as the standard Newage STi.

STi RA Spec-C
Possibly the ultimate road going homologated Impreza after the 22B, the Spec-C managed to shed 90kg off the weight of the standard STi.

s202
In 2002, Subaru released the s202, an Impreza like no other. Stripped of its Subaru badging, this was the first official (although debadging was an attempt to make it less official) Impreza to exceed the self imposed 276bhp limit that the Japanese car manufacturers had introduced some years previously, with a power output of around 320bhp. As well as the increase in power, the s202 received special RAYs alloy wheels (light weight), a carbon fibre rear wing, reprogrammed ECU, braided steel brake lines, special light weight disc brakes, and was available in black, blue, white and yellow."
