V5 and V6 RAs are basically an STI with some bits missing. Originally they were designed as base model racing cars (RA = race altered) and so omitted electric packs, red stiching and red inlet manifold and lots of other things that didn't aid performance. Also the IC was a WRX item as it was assumed that it would be ditched for a FMIC. The same also applied to the the 2 pot WRX front brakes as Subaru assumed they'd be binned in preferance for performance items. Original RAs also do not have the skirts.

A number of customers who ordered RAs from the factory asked for the electric pack to be fitted as an option (like on mine) as well as the bodykit and so V5/6 RA spec varies from car to car.

4.111 final drive on yours giving you a short ratio box that v-max's at 145mph. It gets there very quickly!

Essentially the power and handling will be no different from an STI.

Lots of info here, please free to ask any questions.
