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

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....

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

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

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.

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

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
