Re: 99 VER 5 STI V LIMITED,, ANY ONE KNOW ABOUT THESE????

absolutely fantastic car. I have a 98 Ver 5 type R. The late 99 and 00 models are Ver 6. There are only 1000 of them made so the car will come with a build number down at the ash tray. The is no difference between the 00 and 99 other than price because 00 was the last year the classic shape Imprezas were made hence they will be more expensive.

They are available in Black aswell. The blue ones are harder to find for sale because its the most popular colour. I waited 3 months before finding a blue one I liked. As you say they have a roof hatch....Driver controlled Centre Diff(64 rear,36 front or visa versa)...Solid rear bulk head....forged pistons....intercooler water spray.....Group N close ratio gearbox with a longer 5th gear (for motorways)

276BHP as standard (on 100 octane jap fuel)

0-60 of 4.3 seconds.

Well KenC,

The STI Version 6 Type R in Blue should have blue seats :eek:mg: in it if its a V Limited also only 1000 of these made. The standard Version 6 Type R's dont have the blue seats in it as standard. The Ver 6's seem to have different alloys than the Ver 5's also they are all gold, agree with Andy they are fantastic and easy to live with day to day & great fun in the wet. :D Was going to buy a P1 but the STI Type R is a superior car.

Only the P1 has the solid rear bulk head. It sone of the things Prodrive had to change onthe Version 6 sti type R on which the P1 isd based in order to allow it pass European single vehicle type approval.

Both version 6 type R V limited and the P1 are top cars but only the P1 has the Solid rear bulk head, Prodrive's own combination of sti suspension parts, prodrive front splitter and adjustible rear wing, prodrive brakes (Alcons) and prodrive 17 or 18 inch P1 wheels. Also the P1 could be specified with Prodrive electronically adjustible bucket seats.

The P1 is also 280 ps on 98 octane!

Saw a P1 parked outside a house on my way home from Mullingar last saturday.

Could have been the one that someone posted pictures on the site a few months ago.

Beautiful clean looking car.
