Far, far from it. The Spec-C is a stripped down factory race car wit dozens of changes from a JDM STi to make it go around a track faster, but suck much more on the street. IIRC nearly all of the Spec-Cs go directly to Prodrive, but I'm not positive. Anyway, the US STi shares much more in common with our WRX than the JDM STi once you get past the big-ticket hardware.
