Thumbs up Spec C owners R they reall that fast...?

Jeez just been looking at Litchos site... and the figures published in a mag... ran against the T25 and WR1, the Spec with the timing gear ran 60-80 in 5th @ 3.3 and sixth @ 4.6 compare this with the WR @ 5.8 and 10.6... the C just monsters it... Jeez that is very quick...

Guys does it really feel that quick in 5th and 6th... anyone had a Sti PPP and moved to a Spec C ...? whats the change like...

We had a Spec-C at our last track day and it was visibly quicker that anything else. This was slow speed accelaration not 5th/6th gear stuff, but I was suitably impressed with it.

Also made a totally different sound - more like a figher jet than a scooby.

You have a car that weighs in at 1350kg (17 inch model) has circa 300bhp out of the box, has shorter 5th and 6th gearing and a twin scroll low friction turbo, yup it is that quick

I saw Litchy at Silverstone, sounded menatlist, and he put on quite a sideways show to the crowd whom lapped it up and cheered and clapped when he came in. I think one guy was even wanking!

Yep!

Well one of them is the base for a Group N rally car..... perhaps that gives you an insight to the difference!

Seriosuly though..... quicker, lighter, more nimble.

so the super light spec c is still 60kg heavier than the normal classic sti?

I thought it was the same if not lighter.

twin scroll is worth a lot though.
