Fuji Heavy Industries, parent company of Subaru, has announced that it will submit a homologation application to the FIA for the Impreza WRX STi Spec C to rally as a Group N vehicle in 2006. Group N cars are known for being closest in spec to their production based counterparts and are regulated by strict FIA limitations. FHI has pledged to produce 1,000 units of the Spec C, which is the minimum requirement for Group N classification. The car is about 15 lbs. lighter than a standard STi due to lighter glass, thinner roof construction and an aluminum trunk lid. It also features reinforced strut tower braces, a rear crossbar and other additions to improve chassis rigidity, as well as an intercooler water sprayer and air-cooled engine oil cooler.

Seems like a lot of work for 15 pounds. The new front is becoming less horrible over time, though.The car is about 15 lbs. lighter than a standard STi due to lighter glass, thinner roof construction and an aluminum trunk lid.
i agree that is a lot of work for only 15 pounds. i do like the Spec C a lot though.Seems like a lot of work for 15 pounds.

Yea, its amazing how much of a difference color makes. In white, it actually doesn't look like ass.Seems like a lot of work for 15 pounds.

how bout i provide...The new redesigned Imprezas are already out on the streets. I've seen a total of 9 of them running around as rental cars here on Maui and have still yet to catch up to one of them. I promise you all a few pictures of the "re-faced" Impreza.![]()
Same here. I do agree that cars such as the EVO and the WRX STi are great cars for the money but since they're so awesome and cheap I'm seeing them everywhere now. It does sorta knocks the specialness to them. But then again it still drives me crazy when I see one cruise by on the street or better yet the highway.These cars are getting too common where I live, and they're mostly driven by lunatics.
You are a GOD!!!!!how bout i provide...The new redesigned Imprezas are already out on the streets. I've seen a total of 9 of them running around as rental cars here on Maui and have still yet to catch up to one of them. I promise you all a few pictures of the "re-faced" Impreza.![]()
