Interesting little blurb (spec.B)
 

Got my Drive Performance magazine today. Buried right at the end of the '06 Impreza article is a little sidebar about the spec.B! Gonna be limited to 500 units. Here's the known facts

Exterior:
Exclusive Titanium Silver Metallic paint
Stainless steel accented rocker trim panels
Aerodynamic ground effects side moulding
18x7 10 spoke aluminum alloy wheels

Interior
Numbered limited-edition plaque
Exclusive brick red leather upholstry w/ matching floor mats
Momo leather wrapped steering wheel
Aluminum pedal covers
Nav system
Premium audio system including:
-six disc in dash cd-changer
-mp3 player
-upgraded speakers
-integrated steering wheel audio controls

Mechanical
Bilstien Sport Suspension
Aluminum alloy suspension components
5 spd manual only
2.5l DOHC intercooled turbo engine w/ Active Valve Control System variable valve timing
Tire pressure monitoring system

Pretty freakin neat if you ask me! :D

Got my Drive Performance mag today as well. I did see that side bar as well. It'll be a sweet car!

5 speed only :confused:

the only worthwhile addition to the Spec B is the Bilstein and alloy suspension components. the rest is a bunch of bling.

for $10,000 over what i paid for my teh LGT, you can have it. :rolleyes:

Ditto that ^^^^, prolly why they only plan to build 500 units.

You never know. The STi is a 2.5l also. Of course I'm most likely dreaming, but if they're asking such a premium it might just be true....

:confused:

Sorry, let me be more clear. Subaru might put the STi engine in the spec.B for all we know. The price primium certainly suggests that they'll do more than put a new suspension, wheels and paint job on it.

And I thought horses were supposed to be intelligent :rolleyes: :p

it gets the same engine as the regular GT, 250hp. its not even getting Brembo's, let alone the engine.

is that intelligent enough for ya? :D

For those of you in search of really fast 4 doors, and for Alan especially, Porsche is going ahead with the 4 door Panamera. Rumored to be launched with the Cayenne Turbo V-8 at 450hp. AWD is also a possibility. Of course it will be in the $125k range most likely. Sure sounds like a Maserati Quattroporte killer!

I just did a google search anybody have any pics? (of the spec b)

Dan,

I've really liked your recent posts. Seems like you have a serious appreciation for the finest automobiles from Europe! Also seems you've talked about quite a few different cars recently - seems like you've taken over where I left off with having a new flava of the month! ;)

Still, your 'flavas' are definitely worth tasting! :cool:

-Chike

yeah, that's cool, but i wouldn't spend half of what i paid for my house on a car, let alone MORE than what my house cost! :eek:


maybe in 15 years i'll pick one up. :D

it looks exactly like the current Legacy GT with 10-spoke wheels (yuk), "brick red" leather (yuk), and the insides of the headlight cluster is chromed (for all '06 Legacys - yuk).

here's a vid:

I think the red needs to be encased(like having a red insert) and I think that will make it look much better. I'll save my moneys for something else.
