interesting, never heard the 555 theory, just pulled this of wiki

"The origin of the name 22B has often been debated. Many assume 22 referred to the 2.2 liter displacement and the B was for the Bilstein suspension. This would correlate with the idea that Subaru sells a Legacy Spec B, where the B represents the Bilstein suspension. Others believe that 22B was meant to represent the much recognized 555 decal (555 is a tobacco company that was a major sponsor for Subaru in the WRC) on the WRC car as 22B is a hexadecimal representation of the decimal number, 555."

The 2.2 link seems the more likely to me.

So to a person unfamiliar with these, apart from being rare, what sets them apart so much?

Also, 22b is the hexidecimal code for the Sonic Mica 555 Blue that it comes in

Edit: Should have read the rest of the thread
