  how come the photo and label order diff? One is M3, 911 .. the other is 911, M3.

  Display pictures need not necessarily befit a table.

  Its okay if u want to zhng ur TS look like WRX, no issues if u debadge and strap on some nice bodkits. BUT STICKING A WRX BADGE TO A TS IS FCUKING POSER U KNN UNDERSTAND ME?!

  the money he spent might as well buy a real rex?

  I think tt may hv been the 1 on a car mag b4...
  So much extra weight, i think at traffic light drag race only can crawl... somemore the orginal ts 0-100 timing 12+secs...
  maybe his fuel consumption can pay rd tax 4 a wrx liao...

  exhaust pipe can be modded....Have seen some TS's exhaust pipe that is single but opening hole is big, smaller than STI...

  If the car is stationery, you can just read the road-tax disc. Ts and WRX have different road tax values. Also, most Ts, even modified, will not have the bonnet scoop (its not cheap to change the bonnet - the scoop is a few hundred bucks!).
  
  BUT.....there are some modified Ts which look very tame. But if you look carefully, you can see a front-mounted intercooler. Be careful of those - they can fly!

  I didn't know that spec c has this kinda performance...shocked me...
  
  Feel kinda funny that they compare BMW M3,Porsche 911 GT n Subaru WRX Spec C...i always thought that they like to compare Evo n WRX....
  
  In RED...for those who know what it mean....

  It's an M3 CSL, not your run of the mill M3. The Spec C looks tame and most take it as a TS.

  Bear in mind it is against an FQ300 which is a souped up version of the Evo 8.

  I think is check at the place if you want to sell your vehicle, you just put the plate and the date you want sell it, details on that car would all come out.

  no lar, buying WRX is okay, buying the TS is okay, buying the STI is okay. no problems with all that.
  
  but the problem is when u got a TS and u stick a WRX / STI badge on it. now that screams "poser"

  its easy wat..look at the brakes..
  
  TS has drums..wrx has subaru calipers..sti has brembo calipers..
  
  unless that TS owner has alot of $$ to spare..its easy to spot the difference

  So far none came close to a factory stock car like the Spec C. Check out the timing. The car was fined tuned and honed at Nur. Thats why the sticker was created by STi.
  
  Yeah, my car came with the attack the nurburing sticker.
