Just bought a 99 2.5RS, though I think it's actually considered a GM6.

I've got a silver (if that's the 'color' you want to call it lol) RS. Waiting on a swap. THen it'll finally not look like my car is catching fire at red lights or parking lots.

okay, what the hell is GM6? What is the difference? I've never really understood that. I've always known them as GCs...

GC is a 4 door, GM is the 2 door. 6 is the 2.5L engine, 8 is the 2.0 turbo, which is the JDM wrx not available in america.

Thanks, I just found this post on clubwrx actually...

G = first, original Impreza Chasis
C = 4-door
M= 2-door
8 = 2.0L turbo
6 = 2.5L non-turbo
4 = 2.2L non-turbo
2 = 1.8L non-trurbo

Thus...

GC8 = 4-door Impreza 2.0L turbo...not available here in the US from the dealer
GM8 = 2-door Impreza 2.0L turbo...again not available here in the US from the dealer
GC6 = 4-door Impreza 2.5L non-turbo...in other words, the 2.5RS sedan
GM6 = 2-door Impreza 2.5L non-turbo...the 2.5RS coupe
GC4 = 4-door Impreza 2.2L non-turbo...Impreza LX and L (if I remember correctly) sedan
GM4 = 2-door Impreza 2.2L non-turbo...Impreza LX/L coupe (not sure if that was available)
GC2 = 4-door Impreza 1.8L non-turbo...Impreza Brighton sedan
GM2 = 2-door Impreza 1.8L non-turbo...Impreza Brighton coupe

wtf...this is what happened to the original subaru community. Ppl would always now what a GC8 was, now it's this technically broken down bullshit. C'mon, you hear GC8, you know what someone means. You don't need to be an asshat and get all technical w/ a GM6, or GMA.

whose being the asshat? the person telling the truth, or the person telling people to lie?

im sorry for trying to educate someone who didnt know the inner-workings of subaru.

i guess you dont mind when people call your car a WRX and ask you if you have a turbo all the time. if your going to be ignorant, dont act like you arent.
