Iconic and legendary rally car, arguably one of the best rally cars ever conceived. The IMPREZA driven by the likes of Colin Mcrae, Carlos Sainz, Richard Burns , and the one and only Ari Vatanen is so memorable. I have the memory of Colin driving it FULL TILT BOOGEY seared in my brain till i die. RIP Colin and Richard.
Looks like a video from the early days of Rally Legend. Hopefully one day crowds will flock the special stages once again but as of now the subie rumbles on through the silence :')
A couple months back, I got lucky and got the 1998 Subaru Impreza gc8 after my Toyota Celica blew up (3rd cylinder). Some dude sold it to me on OfferUp and I got the car for about $1,200. I'm barely getting into upgrading the car, but I hope to have my Impreza just like the rally version or the version 6 STI one day. 🤞🙂🤞
Gran secondo posto assoluto dell'equipaggio Boroli-Imerito, subito dietro a Ken Block e davanti al mitico Renato Travaglia. Una Impreza assolutamente al top, auto stupenda e tanto incisiva.
It's so sad and frustrating. Would love Subie to return to the WRC. But the sanctioning body basically wrote them out of competition with the new rules. At least in group A. Now all they can do is the Gymkana events. But WRC was much more fun to watch.
@@purpleneons The best WRC was either about mindblowing prototypes that wanted to kill you midstage and hollywood-tier drivers, or cars that resembled those you could buy at a dealership. Today's WRC is neither. I'd rather watch Russian RDS series now.
War das ein Profi ? Super ausgesuchte Kamerastandorte , tolle Kameraführung , schöne Stimmung . Habe leider erst am 30.09.2023 dieses Video von TH-cam vorgeschlagen bekommen .
@@balticbearan22 it most definitely is Anti-Lag. Petrol fires the injectors and the spark plugs on the exhaust stroke of each cylinder. The very rich fuel mixture is ignited however instead of producing power it actually exits the engine into the exhaust manifold creating a pressure wave. The explosive nature of that somewhat external combustion keeps the turbocharger spinning at high rpm to maintain maximum boost. That coupled, with as you say a straight through exhaust system causes the joy we see here...
Me and my friends had a 1998 wrx ra back in the day.. I recently brought a 1992 EVO 1 thinking it would fix the bug. I'm currently on the market for a 1998 sti. Nothing compares.
After fia stopped cigarette sponsors they had to change the 555 livery I never got why they changed it to them banana looking things Tomi Mak also lost his Marlboro sponsor on rear bumper they replaced it with his name
Group A and WRC Subaru engines never used any headgaskets... They used gas rings instead. And headgaskets are not an issue on roadgoing Subarus either, that is just a bullshit roumor coming from the mid 90s and the 2.5l n/a engine...
@@prodrive7105 It proves true when you start pumping high levels of boost into them, between 2.5 to 3 bar. Didn't know they o-ringed the block in WRC. Most guys racing Subarus in the states don't o-ring anything and blow gaskets frequently.
@@Sephiroth5200 2.5-3 bar is not normal levels of boost... Ofcorse you dont get a reliable engine then. The american sti engines (and europe from 2006) also uses the EJ257 block which is semi closed deck, and thin cylinder walls. They are not strong enough for big power, not to mention the very weak oem pistons that often crack. All Group A and WRC engines used 2 litre fully closed deck blocks, with gas rings/wills rings for the cylinders and o-rings for the water. Prodrive built the engines from the end of 1991 and all engines to 2008 was like that. The later ones also had pressure sensors in the gas ring to detect any head lift so the ecu could react to it.
@@Sephiroth5200 My subaru 2.0 delivers 550 bhp has 80000 kms on the same engine no problems with headgaskets what so ever, the 2,5 l turbo suffers more.

That idle, best sounding 4 cylinders out there
Snap crackle & pop... Love it
Best sounding Gr.A Rally car. Could listen to this all day.
The Legacy's and early Impreza's are definitely the best sounding Subaru's. Far more raw and rumbly.
Definitely can't beat the old school exhausts. Everyone wants titanium and decat and stuff these days and they don't sound the same as this for sure..
Proper Boxer noises......
Wow, nice driving! That car looks so friggen agile, I can't believe how quickly and planted it changes direction
The sound, man, the sound. 😍
*"Shit, Dirt Rally 3.0 looks absolutely gorgeous!"*
Absolutely mental. I have watched it like 10 times in a row lol.
The unmistakable sound. Miss it.

They really are the best sounding high performance car on the road. Oh how we love Subaru's
I wasn't even alive for the McRae/Burns era, but my favorite motorsport clips of all time are Colin and Richard thrashing ts out of these things.
90年代のスバルは本当に最高です。
やっぱり「グループＡのＧＣ８」が良いですね。
格好いいし、この色が似合ってると思う。
色とかよりこのサイズが似合ってる、車体の軽さが見てるだけで伝わってくるぜ、同じエンジンなのにVABみたいなデブな体じゃてんで話にならねー....
What a cool car, it looks like its been fully restored.

Not happening unless they make a smaller car with 1.6 liter which would compete with parent company Toyota Yaris.

Que recuerdos de Colin y Sainz precioso el coche y el video 💪🏼
Шикарная Субару
Great footage.
This is true RallyLegend, not Ken Block on horrible cars and people with gravel tyres drifting
Lol this comment is likely to start picking up flak
Lmaooo
I never got the Ken Block hate, he was just having fun and people hated him for it
Callese señora !¡
To be honest Subaru has got a sexy sound

In countrys where tobacco advertising was banned, they used these bows instead of the 555, just like Mitsubishi had to do with their Marlboro logos.
Excellente Auto notamment en 22B, mais je préfère Largement le son d'une 306 MAXI ou 911 GT3 RS Qui elles prennent des Tours !!!
Awesome, but as an engine mechanic I can't help but wonder how many head gaskets they blow in a weekend. Scooby Doos are notorious for it.

A bigger rear wing would stop it from nose-diving!!
Since when did a Grp A classic Subaru have a big wing?
Imagine telling the tuners of one of the best performing rally cars of all time that they should just put a wing on. Why didn't they think of that?
