STI Spec C

Just curious, what are the major differences between the USDM STI and the Euro Spec C? I have read that they are massively different cars (even Spec C wheel base is longer?). I realize the first thing people are going to say is 2.0 vs 2.5 L. Anyway, thanks!

lots of suspension components, wheels, spec C is very limited too. Oh, can't forget about that awesome front lip either

What do you mean by "limited"?

It was an article in Sport Compact Car a while back that can answer your questions. The suspension is different spec-wise, its wheelbase is longer because it has more caster. It comes from the factory with a header, and I'm not too sure, but I think it has a twin-scroll turbo.

Think we will ever get a US version of the Spec C(aside from the 2.0 ltr of course)?

"limited" as in they aren't going to make that many. Rumor has it for 2006 its not more than 100 made.

probably a 0.00% chance it's coming to the states... :/
