Ollie Waterhouse yeah 😂 Missing gear changes, coasting around most corners, running wide in bends, he’s got the gear (car) just no idea. Needs some lessons on track position to get the most from his toy
SpareHandSyndrome brakes fade and I’m sure that’s why he went off the one time he did. Other than that he showed some good driving . The reason for “coasting” around tight corners is simple , you only have so much friction and any friction used for acceleration can’t be used for turning . Post a video of yourself doing any better .
Not the worst driver to be fair, these half arse tracks with cones and bollards are never forgiving as you can't judge the braking point and set the car up for the bends, like you can on an open track. However he demonstrates poor downshifting and at 5:15 he failed to find 3rd gear, fixated on looking at his gear stick and came in too hot, luckily he got away with it.
@@HarryG98 sounds crap...screamers sound like a stock exhaust choking but more louder and over powers the nice sound of the engines rumble and tubro noise
I don't hear a waste gate, I hear a HKS Super Sequential BOV with that ricer sounding insert. Why would someone install such a ricer stigmatized bov on their rally car.
Considering that looks like a track day or some kind of experience day, he isn't showing much respect for the other drivers. Overtaking was very aggressive. Nice car though.
These classic GCs are so much more attractive than a new WRX, this is pure nostalgia. Thanks for the awesome upload!
Yup thats so true, i have the 1997 gc8 sti, would never sell it..these new subaru wrx they look more like a spaceship than a wrx..

Hands down best sounding subaru ive ever heard
Try this one th-cam.com/video/LI1PGErtAjU/w-d-xo.html
Remember when Subaru built the best cars in the world? I sure do! This is one of them!!
That intro is so pleasing
the shifting is soo fast ! i thought it was a sequential gearbox !
Subaru is a best car in the world
Thats why i keep going back n back lol
@SylentEcho yeah i heat ya this is my 23 Subaru smh ... i should never sold my sti 2007 i miss it !!!
@@jakespeakman6991 ill sell you mine.

Sorry that place goes to Toyota, definitely best in the AWD tier though!

Blacktop with ITB?
Best gc8 video on TH-cam
Sin duda una exelente makina japonesa
That Boxer rumble 💙
My ears could be wrong, but I think this car has equal length headers. Therefore, it doesn't "rumble" like a Subaru.
I think they still rumble nicely at idle and deceleration with equal length manifolds but on boost they sound even better with them 👍🏼
@@nvl2691 the rumble isn't as pronounced because it does have ELH, but it still sounds like a flat four.

The sound reminds me so much of the NFS Underground days
u mean the BOV sound rite?
mobilespeed that too yes
Classic RA STi's are just epic.
4:54 that moment 😘😘🔥🔥🔥
Hands down best sounding 4 cylinder engine
the first time ever i witnessed this car was in Gran T4
sigh... the memories
Not sure how the external wastegate was crazy, or even unique. Clean subbie, sounds good for equal length turbo manifold.
Uel
@Sho Yu Weeni this sounds like equal length to me
Do you even own a Subaru?
@Sho Yu Weeni it really is equal length, its lost the normal scooby rumble
I hope this good man has 1million subscribers :)
Good driving, awesome car!
Legends never die
Ear porn, thank you.
bellissimo il duello con la integrale, da italiano:impreza tutta la vita
best sounding subaru youve posted yet
Equal-length manifold ftw!
Belisima sound turbo bravo !
Nice ... a rocket on wheels in 2-3-4 !!!
Well done. Lovely set up
What a amazing video!! Thank you, keep up with the amazing content!! :)
EL headers over UEL headers all the way!
Gorgeous looking and sounding car.
Beautiful❣️
AWD 🔥💪
Is this that 400HP one? Driver doesnt look like hes got any better, still probably having the time of his life though
There is just a rawness that only scoobies can give 😍
scoobies? are you that ignorant?
The only way 4 cylinders sound good with a turbo 😫👌🏿👌🏿
2:37 Racing and driving with one hand haha. Awesome car though!
Do you drive a manual trans differently outside of the USA???
Thas what happens when you have a manual car
Awesome!!!It must be over 400hp!!
I believe sure 100 more at least
INSANE
Imprezzive
Good JOB!
Still an icon after so many years...
Awesome! Seems to have quite a wide powerband.
Subaru💙💪
love this page
I like how the shift knob is still the stock one
im no
Would love to see it do a lap of the Nurburgring :)
We have this car in mind always dirty from gravel stages. Good stuff although!
Pure beast
Rapid that was!!!
Me fascinó
Conoce su auto

Scoobys all the way 🙌🙌😍
Is a stock gearbox? OEM?

Enought for this track😅
@@salazarstreet272 it's never enough

You are not wrong. He wouldn't be passing anyone even if he were just 100hp above their power level.
