STI Spec C spotted, details seeping through
In Friday's CarGuide in the Herald Sun (Aussie Newspaper) they had a article detailing the new Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C. Little background; the Spec C version of the Impreza WRX STI was the race ready, lightened and tightened edition in which Subaru used to homologated (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologation) their WRC car. These rules no longer apply but Subaru still make the Spec C to treat the fans to a limited version (along with other treats like the S20x series and the Type RA/RA-R).
Anyhoo back to the article; The new Spec C is focusing on lightening the body weight and improving handling rather than add anymore/much power to the existing STI. More details can be found http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1557819&page=3 (my post is at the very top).
It looks the goods and if it does infact hit Australia I will be definately getting one. By the time they hit I will be off my Ps and legally able to drive one too
One last thing. Australia's current rating system for videogame is shall we say....crap. Its very outdated and does not reflect the attitude of the modern Australian. There are more gamers these days than there ever was. In fact there is a gaming console per 5 people in Australia. Thats pure consoles like your Playstation 3s and Nintendo Wii etc and not things that CAN play games like Personal Computers.
One man trying to change this is Greg Tannahill. He is running as a candidate in October in the Australia Capital Territory's state election. We wish him all the best and when you have a few minutes drop by his website @ http://amongthedust.blogspot.com/.
