warman Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hey guys, I just searched and couldn't find anything specific other than the 08's had a stiffer body, lighter and received a facelift. Does anyone know the exact model year changes for the SpecB's? I'm starting to look for them and want to know which years have what so I can figure out which year to get. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone75 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 06 500 in the production line red brick interior with multi spoke wheels and 5 speed. 07 spec b came in a few more colors but had black leather seats with blue alacantra inserts in the middle. 2008 spec bs came with all black leather seats luster gray multi spoke wheels and a variety of color DGM, SWP, QSM and OBP i think covers it all.OH and 07 through now has the STI 6 speed manual tranny.

EquinnoxX Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 The listing by years will have what each Spec.B came with. 07 was also first year with VDC and 6 speed among other things http://www.cars101.com/legacy.html#about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 2008 spec bs came with all black leather seats luster gray multi spoke wheels and a variety of color DGM, SWP, QSM and OBP i think covers it all. The additional colors didn't come until 09. DGM and QSM were the only two options in 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warman Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 thanks for the responses. So it looks like the only big difference between the 08/09 is the stereo. The 08's still have the AUX input though right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikevon40 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 So far the 08 autocrosses just fine lol. Haven't had any problems yet with mine and she has 19k so far. Don't get me wrong, but unless your just looking for the 6 spd or the years there we very few made. I believe the 2.5gt is just as good for a cheaper price. Would I get rid of my Spec B .. No, because it's just great being able to say yeah I have one. Oh by the way I test drove the 3.6 and 2.5 GT for 2010. so much more room in the back and front. I think the front end looks beefier, but the rear has lost it's touch. The power is still great for both models. The NAV and Stereo are a good step above the 08's. The paddle shifting in the 3.6 is nothing to be excited about, but ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If you are only planning for minimal mods, the spec b is an amazing car with only $500 in mods. So far i only have the pink springs, avo rear sway, avo LCA bushings, gutted down pipe, and tactrix + etune, and all this is a great balance of performance and comfort. If you are thinking to mod extensively (bigger turbo & coilovers), you can get more for your money with an LGT. As for the sound system, I compared speakers side by side with an 09 spec.b, and we couldn't tell the difference at low, med, and high volumes.

B-Power-B Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Congrats. I just bought my 08 DMG Spec B too. It had 12k miles on it. I was looking at another spec b and it had 15K miles on it. When searching throughout the country, it seemed all of them had relatively low miles.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malone75 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Congrats man! I just got my 08 spec b sitting in a showroom here in VA. It only had 600 miles on it so i thought it was a def steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malone75 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 the thing bout that is it had like 600 miles on it but they sold it to me new cuz it was it the new car showroom. Its actually the first (new) (i Guess) car i have bought with that kind of mileage but I guess it could have been from ppl test driving it. Ayways the spec b's are awesome and rare. And since it was an 08 with an 2010 in the showroom with it. They were asking 28000 but I gave 3000 down and only financed 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
