i dont think so, like the classic RA the only differences were the body and gearbox (as far as i know! im afraid the Anorak will come in and chew me up if a get that wrong!! 
) so id take it that the new age would would be 'Race Altered' in the same way. lighter windows, less sound proofing, no electrics (windows and A/C) closer gearbox ratio's yada yada . . . . .

theres an Spec-C Type RA-R as well, maybe thats the one with out the splitters, maybe its only the side skirts and rear splitter that come off, and i think the spoiler as well, but it would seem stupid to take the front one off because it does have good aerodynamic properties

Hello Anton
Subaru have released so many models over the last couple of years in spec-c and spec-c type Ra it very confusing whats out there :shock:
I have got this list for the Spec-C Type RA this is the late 2005 / early 2006 model and is not to be confused with the Spec C Type RA-R, which was released late last year:
The applied model code for the spec-c type-ra is GDB/F4F4
The gearbox code is TY856WB7JA 6 speed with ddcd with short throw gearleaver. 1.2.3.4 gears same as the uk box but 5th and 6th are a shorter ratio.
Roof vent (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight boot lid. (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight bonnet. (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight glass all round. I am told this is on the Spec-C also, but also heard it isn't
Lightweight roof skin with roof vent. (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight interior carpets/no sound deadening/no carpets in the boot (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight battery. (the spec-c has this also)
No rear washer wiper. (the spec-c has this also)
Lightweight electric window motors. (the spec-c has this also on a v-limited)
air con. (the spec-c has this also on a v-limited)
No underseal. (This is specific to the RA)
BBS wheels(exlusive to the spec-c type ra with cast sti logos in the castings)17x8 114pcd shod with Bridgstone re 070 tyres. (This is specific to the RA)
Type ra attacking the Nuremberg ring sticker on the front lower door panels. (This is specific to the RA)
The spec-c type ra is only available in blue/white and silver (which is unique to this model).
Only 350 made worldwide.
Sti 4 way adjustable struts.
Sti pink springs.
Sti 21mm rear anti roll bar with ball jointed rear stabilizer bracket.
Sti pillowball lateral links
Twinscroll rollerbearing turbo. (the spec-c has this also)
Front titanium strut brace. (the spec-c has this also)
Rear boot brace (the spec-c has this also)
Waterspray tank in the boot behind the rear seats with auto and manual model (12 litre) (the spec-c has this also)
13.1 quick rack. (the spec-c has this also)
Engine oil cooler and gearbox oil cooler. (the spec-c has this also)
Brembo vented diskbrakes. (the spec-c has this also)
Alcantre interior trim/seats with sti logo stitched in/black dash and surrounds.
8000 red line. (the spec-c has this also)
The inlet manifold is bigger than the normal spec-c
AFAIK the main differences is in the suspension and gearbox
The Spec-c type RA is intended for track days / circuit racing
You can also get a rally spec spec-c, this is intended for group n-rallying. This is supplied on 16" wheels, throw away carpets and seats as these would be replaced during the rally prep.
The Spec-c Type RA-R was released late last year as above, this is a more extreme version of the type RA with udgraded brakes, different exhaust, its one of the first cars to be advertised as 320Bhp along with the S204. The type Ra-R is missing the rear spolier etc and has revised suspension.
I hope this is of some help
Cheers,
Michael
