If its the aftermarket STI suspension and WRX seats, then its going to be worth it. What kind of tires?

Anyway, there needs to be a 6-speed option for the WRX, that'd be killer.

There's also a limited so

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Type-RA Spec C Limited

Is there any hope of the RS Pro getting a rear LSD?

So, with the upgraded suspension and tires the RS Pro will be a better handler than the WRX? Won't that confuse things? Unless they upgrade the WRX to 17" wheels/better tires and the SPT suspension standard.

I totally agree... and if I had to guess I'd say the pro will be the same as the 04 and the regular RS will probably be stripped of it's power and other amentities. Possibly the TS in sedan trim. Also the RS and WRX have very similar handling from what I've heard the real difference is the power especially in the top end.

I agree. The RS and WRX do have similar handling now. However, with upgraded suspension and tires, the stock RS will handle BETTER than the stock WRX.

because every country, their mommas and daddies are making cars nowdays you may see a trend in using letters as names for cars. its much harder nowdays to make a name that will "standout" and be internationally politically correct- - - if you remember the chevy nova didn't do so well in south america- the name itself meant something like "doesn't run"
