i think you're thinking that they're bringing for people to build their own rally cars. nowadays they're using our nostalgia as selling/marketing tools. the Type RA was the basic/hardcore version. now it will be the hardcore version with all the bells and whistles and a bunch of carbon because racecar and people will buy it because there used to be a hardcore type RA back in the day which you bought if you wanted to build a racecar.The STi/WRX distinction is a moot point for an RA car. Example: The actual WRC cars built in the UK used chassis shipped from Japan with WRX, not STi chassis codes.
My question is whether there's an actual point to an RA car at this stage. Subaru are not competitive and I can't imagine a privateer campaigning a car without significant, organized support etc.
I agree, I'm by no means super knowledgeable about cars but those additions should add up to way more than 5HP.it's making 310 horsepower—up from 305 in the standard car, thanks to a new cold air intake, a high-flow exhaust, stronger pistons, and a retuned ECU
Something does not make sense there; only 5HP from those upgrades ?
No. This isn't the aftermarket.it's making 310 horsepower—up from 305 in the standard car, thanks to a new cold air intake, a high-flow exhaust, stronger pistons, and a retuned ECU

Was the RA ever for homologation purposes? Admittedly my knowledge on the subject is limited. At least with Group A and Group N, it seems that the WRX model and its evolution version "STI" should have been sufficient.My question is, why would I buy something not homologated? Ok so then I'm not a competitor but a hobbyist interested in track days. Can I use this to tow my track-ready Miata?
