Always rev match. Never hold clutch down. It takes a lot of getting used to and practice, but it’s what you gotta do. Nice video tho, incredible drive.
very nice, dont listen to the haters that are just jealous that they're not even there lol, i used to rev my stock wrx and i didnt care lol, i'll be there in october between the 10-13th, they have a GT-R annual event and it will be my first time taking my R35, i might get some swaybars and a few goodies before i go there, even tho the car already handles pretty good with stock suspension.
U right I should rev match more, only really started driving stick this year so still getting used to boolin and shifting. That time I put it into second but I didn’t let go of clutch, I let go when my speed is a lil down
@@probool Yeah, don't do that lol. Don't shift into any gear that can't handle the speed you're going. All it would take it a slip of the foot to have a very bad day. Also, I know there's opinions in both camps, but I recommend not holding your clutch in through a turn. Power adjustment is important, and there's none going to the wheels if the clutch is disengaged.
I finally took my 2024 VB WRX up to the TOTD about a month ago. I was pretty impressed by how it handled with stock suspension. Especially compared to my 2015 WRX which did have coilover setup + front/rear sway bars and LCA's. Getting some suspension upgrades coming soon for the VB then going to take it back up to see how it's changed.. I'm a little under an hour drive to Tail of the Dragon, and it's nice to be able to hop in the car and spend the day there. TOTD is a awesome place to make some nice spirited drives. As long as you can be there when it's not busy. See too many things go wrong on the busy days.. driver pushing too hard and driving outside their limits and such.
Damn that’s good to hear, I’ve heard the vb is good at handling stock in videos but I’ve never driven the va. That’s tru about the tail. Friday was less crowded and we got some good runs in but on Saturday there was a lot of traffic.
I have a 2015 VA WRX and now a 2024 VB WRX.. The new FA24 DIT in the VB WRX is a pretty nice motor. It's been beefed up in the right areas compared to the previous FA20 DIT in the VA chassis. My VA had coilovers and front/rear sway bars, but handled every bit as good as the new '24 VB WRX in stock form. I've been pretty impressed with the VB!
Nice! You kept up pretty well! Do you have stock brakes? How did they do? I think if you would have got stronger brakes, you would have had more confidence to go faster into the corners.
Thanks! Yeah I do right now, they usually aren’t too bad but when you’re driving hard you can feel that the brakes are a bit of a weak point. Nothing else really to complain about tho! The car handles very well. I definitely agree with your last sentence.
Not hating but please learn to rev match. You down shift to second and coast thru the corner. Is this your first manual? That loose bottle is dangerous.
@@probool gotcha. Again only love. You shift to second while not turning. You then enter the corner while not on the throttle. You can practice every time you drive. Red lights, stop signs, etc. you just want the revs to be match road speed and rpm. You always want to be under power at the apex. Slow Im, fast out. Especially with true AWD. Throttle will save your ass and pull you thru the exit of the corner. I was a Subaru tech for 5 years. Their clutches are pretty fragile if not used properly. Practice, practice, practice. Don't even worry about heel, toe, just get smooth matching revs.
@@dewjustinbro you really think I’m talking about rev matching? Are you braindead? I’m talking about taking a stock car, putting it in neutral, and revving it like it’s hot shit or something. How’s your reading comprehension not able to figure that out.
Fun drive. Next time accelerate sooner coming out of the corner and make sure to turn off traction. That way you make use of the WRX drivetrain

That area is so beautiful, looks like a blast to drive through.
It is, sometimes it’s better to cruise and just enjoy the scenery
Heaven
please rev match when you downshift. at 8:15 the car was placed in 2nd gear at 62 MPH, which is higher than 2nd can even go.

My dream car to buy 🙏
It’s a great car!
Make your dream come true!
Bought a used 22 limited and I always smile driving it!

I use to own the 2015 WRX and didnt really enjoy it - looks like the new 2.5 L can breathe a lot better and handle as well.
There was a va wrx following me at one point but idk if it was the driver or car but they could not keep up

@@probool thank you for the answer!
That remembers me driving in Puerto Rico😂.. hate it!
Is that a Blackwing in the front?
Yeah it’s the electric blue one ct4v blackwing. We have a pov video of that run posted on our page!
That ZL1 was gone, were you a little scare of the drive ?
What time stamp are you talking about? If you’re talking about the more straight road it makes sense he would pull away. He has 400 more horsepower
The zl1 is in frame throughout the video except at the end a bit
Are you watching the same vid? ZL1 was pretty much in the 'pack' the whole time.. 🤔
What mods have you done to the WRX?
It’s stock minus an Axleback
@@probool mines the same, are you local? i'd like to head out there im not too far
@@RushroyaleAddictsI wish, it would be awesome to drive those roads regularly. We had to drive p far to the tail but we’ll do it again next year

Revving a stock WRX is wild
It has an exhaust on it
What does this comment even mean? Every car revs like what
@@dewjustinrevving it like he did something to the car, obviously every car can rev, nerd
@@Patriot_wrx ouch I can’t believe you called me a nerd. You mean rev matching? Still no idea what you’re talking about, you must be 12.

The ZL1 1LE was not being pushed. You have two different cars. The term "Keep up" isn't about the cars it was about the drivers.
