hi all whats the fastest production subaru from standard car out of factory from classics 93 to todays models 08 just wanted to see that you guy think all the best

 

WRX STI Spec C type RA-R is probably the fastest production car out of the factory with 320ps.

Tony

 

22b

 

Nah, its about 2.5 secs slower to 100 than an RA-R

Tony

 

The Spec C itself must be second Tony??

 

hi there do you no the year of the WRX STI Spec C type RA-R i am doing a bit of research of all the subaru,s kind regards

 

Its a 2007 production run of 300.

Tony

 

hi all can you post the year of production for the 22b kind regards

 

1998

 

22b is a 98 car, have a look at Subaru Impreza Drivers Club under faq's

Tony

 

Pretty close though that extra 40ps probably gives the S204 the 3rd place with the spec c type RA very close with 2nd I would say.

Tony

 

Just a thought, surely some of the Classics like the Early RA`s etc would be quicker to 60 though with that mental gearing??

 

The Spec C WR Ltd was 320ps out of the box on 2 different rolling roads my totally stan dard car made 319.2 at Powerstation and 307.9 at Surrey RR

 

what about the s204??

 

An STI 3 Type RA would plop on a 22B methinks. 22B is a lot heavier, with the sameish power.

 

S204 out the box makes 350bhp and so does the ra-r.

 

That S204 is heavy though Juggers Great seats mind ...

TX.

 

Neither makes 350bhp, they are factory quoted at 320ps anything above that is "additional"

As for the WR Ltd, 280ps out of the box not 320ps, only a few had 320ps, those being the S202, S203, S204 and RA-R.

Staffi, believe it or not, the older classic (sti) RA's are not as quick as the newer Spec C's which are more aerodynamic and with more powerful engines, and even though they weigh more, the gearing and torque more than makes up for it

Tony

 

What about the RB320?

 

Not a factory production car

Tony

 

Beg to differ Tony as every Spec C was 320ps,not a single one has ever made 276ps standard they have all been 300+ i think you been misquoted.The STi may have been quoted as 276ps but not the Spec C

edited for accuracy. They may have been quoted 276ps to get through that Jap ruling rubbish but they were all well above that

 

Scooby-tc,

I was also under the impression Spec C`s where 300bhp or even a tad more, well that,s what Iain Litchfield told me anyway....

Mine certainly feels more than 280bhp strong, but i guess power delivery etc may make it feel sharper if you get me....

 

well mine made 319 totally stock so it sure as hell isnt 280ps

 

Actually how many were tested with low miles on? not that many though mine was, made 288bhp at 1700 miles on the clock, pretty close to that factory figure though when run in a fair bit more, made a fair bit more, 316bhp on the jap map, not a uk remap for fuel

Oh and the japanese manual stated 280ps too for spec c's

Tony

 

Could we define what we mean buy fastest?
do we mean top speed?
0-60
0-100
1/8 mile
1/4 mile

Actually can you guys tell us what is the fastest to 60 & 100
and what has highest top speed!
i am intrigued i am looking to get a spec-c next year.

 

no mention of the the p1, maybe it wasn't a factory built car?????

 

The Type R and RA (1997>) was quicker than a P1 so thats knocked that out of the equation

 

was it, i'd like to see stats on that out of interest!

 

That was my point Tony,if the same stock car makes 316 on jap map after 'it's loosened up' then it could never have been 280ps to begin with.
As you say yours made 288 with low miles,thats equates to over 290ps to start with hence the only way to get these cars through that weird jap rulng was to 'quote' 280ps which is isnt

 

The spec c type ra-r is the quickest there, but the spec c is also very quick here, but dont buy one just because its fast, there are alot of compromises when you buy a spec c, ride quality, smaller fuel tank, more tiring etc.

Tony
