I believ it is context of the chassis of the 94-2000. I am not sure of the years but it is somewhere in there. When i was looking at RS's before i bought my car I saw alot about GC8
Ha now that someone else paosted it was 93-01

GC8 never a USDM car, though a lot of people mistakenly call their 2.5RS of the same body style a GC8 (when its really a GC6 or GM6)
/looks like a lot of people got it already.

I dont think the GC8 specifically meant the STi. As long as it had a turbo 2.0 then it had the "8" for the engine code.
