Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
The ultimate Newage Subaru, combining awesome handling and power.
Arguably one of the best Impreza production cars ever made, the Subaru Impreza Spec C combines excellent chassis dynamics with an extremly responsive engine to provide a vehicle that is without doubt one of the fastest point to point production cars presently available.
Used as a base car for homologation purposes, the Spec C has a number of changed specifications to make this an ideal track as well as an everyday car out of the box.
First produced in 2003, this model of Impreza has gone through various stages of development and was tested recently by Subaru of Japan, completing the famous Nurburgring in less then 8 minutes....... in standard road going trim/setup!
However good the Spec C is in standard trim, I just had to make it better. After a prolonged period of 4yrs development, the car will soon be 'Battle Ready' to do it's stuff.
The Spec C has ben further developed by Tracktive Solutions, with the engine being totally overhauled and is now ready to hit the Tarmac once again.
The car has had some success over previous years and has taken part in the following events:
2006 ScoobyLive Handling Champion Winner
2006 TunerGP 4th in class
2006 TOTB Entrant
2006 Time Attack Entrant
2007 ScoobyLive 5th place
2007 TOTB 13th place (Overall on Handling)
