muddy02 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i wouldn't consider it rare if you could have got it by simply ordering one. having only 500 made, and then waiting to get one and have them run out due to high demand, i would call that "rare." on the issuse of press, when i went to buy my GT in early 06, they had a spec b in the show room. i said, cool what's that, he showed it to me and i said what's the difference between that and my GT Limited? he said the seats and the MT. i said nothing under the hood?? he goes nope, just about 3K more on the sticker. i said "no, thanks, see ya." i think the spec b could be the most dissapointing "special trim" car i've ever seen from ANY manufacturer. Even those Eddie Bauer trims bring something to the table. It's not about speed, it's about acceleration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama0787 Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I am very happy with my 06 spec B purchase. If I do any suspension work it will only be sway bars I doubt I will do that I love the nav rear view camera and my red leather interior. I picked this car with money not being an option over the 07 spec b, bmw, lexus, acura, etc.. I will say that the 08 bmw with turbos hadn't been released yet but I am still not sure I wouldn't have went with the subby but odds are the beamer would have won then.

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i wouldn't consider it rare if you could have got it by simply ordering one. What a logic. Rare is what is... hardest to find, period (it's not the same what "desireable" or "in demand"). There were some muscle cars, not sure exactly which, like Challanger or Barracuda that were regular production units and could be simply ordered. It happened that some fancy engine/trim combo was "simply ordered" by only few folks and now they uber rare uber valuable collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy02 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 He forgot to say wheels, suspension goodies, and standard navi. it's not "standard" if you are paying more to get it. there is a nav option on pretty much every car. you want it, it's another 1,500 - 2,000 more for it. Different wheels cost subaru nothing, they are still 17" rims. i'll give you the improved suspension, but my point is a bigger one. The difference from a WRX to an STI should have been the goal for the spec b. maybe it's too much to ask, but at least call it a "Limited Plus" trim package or something, and not give the impression that you number something 1 to 500 and it's automatically more desirable. sorry if i offended any spec b owners, it was just my initial impression of it vs the LGT Limited and not much (if anything) has changed in 3 model years. if the better dyno runs on stock spec b's is actually true, then i take it all back It's not about speed, it's about acceleration!

You get Navi with a manual 3. You get very good Bilstien Shocks 4. You get aluminum lower control arms 5. You get much, much, much better tires 6 You get a 6 speed in the 07's and up Everything else is a bs (unique interior, nice pedals, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_sharp Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Let me clear something up, with the spec B: 5. You get much, much, much better tires I just want to point this out. I didn't realize the level of performance the spec.B tires have. The grip is incredible. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires... the same variation of tire is found on: Infiniti G35, Porsche 911 Turbo, a few Mercs/bwms, and various F-cars including the Enzo. The tires were the biggest surprise for me on this car. And the wet grip isn't that great so you can still have fun when its wet They run about $150-200 per tire just for reference. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 07 also has a dyno indicating more as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver's seat memory should be standard, but it isn't. VDC (and Navi) only available on the SpecB if you want MT. Just wanted to round out the list of what's different...
