  • it cant be an m coupe?think about it, subaru 4wheel drive on damp tarmac slidin and a rear wheel drive m coupe stays straight? come on

  • @Spennywatts so do you finaly own it? :D

    

  • @Spennywatts so have you bought it ?

  • The M coupe would have passed him like 90 times during those laps.

  • uniden999 where are u from fag?

  • this has to be fake. is that a subaru oversteering???

  • Id be surprised its a Bmw , cool vid! though

  • WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?? WHO CARES ABOUT THE EXACT KINDA OF BEAMER IT IS ?? This video is fuckin awesome props to both drivers.. especially the camera car keeping it tight while the STi drifts!! great stuff!!

  • I have the magazine with this test in it and it is a Caterham R400 following the RB320.

  • emmm sorry sounds nothing like an m coupe . far to quick to be pushing a rb320 round a track ,its a westfield or a caterham?

  • Holy crap. The driver of the Impreza RB320 is really pushing the pace. Very nice driving!

  • it is a Ariel Atom!!!! Not a M-Coupe

  • not even a airal atom dick heads

  • @uniden999 um i dont know maybe the fact that you are calling everyone in america stupid when your country thinks they dominate the entire world lol..british people are a bunch of idiots

  • @bootysweat44

    Your excellent spelling and punctuation help to make your argument one of complete condemnation old chap, well put, indeed, quite.

  • Absolutely amazing driving for both drivers.

  • @uniden999 are all the people in europe stupid? mr i take pics of myself in a bathroom with a little dumbass jumping on stalls in backround?

  • @bootysweat44 what the fuck are you on about?

  • wait.. HOW IS THE REX SLIDING OUT??

  • @IAMGONEWALKABOUT its sliding about cause he's chucking it into the corners and he's on a damp track

  • im one of the 99% that couldnt drive like this but fuck me i would love to be able to

  • @neutroinos PRACTICE

  • I love the debate that continues years after this was posted - fueled by the inaccurate title. The following is true and has been confirmed (by Evo magazine) about this clip when it came out:

    The chase car is a Caterham R400 in lime green

    The track is Caldwell Park

    Anyone who thinks a mitsubishi evo or an M-coupe could hang reel in the car like that is delusional. Not to mention the sound of the engine. It's a Ford Duratec 2.0l.

  • iiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa

  • Subaru Impreza is made for rally, not for roads, even tho it can be used since its GREAT CAR, but the whole thing about its design, is all for rally.. should try it out, way more fun there :)

  • @pikido123 rally isn't just driving fast on closed roads? are you stupid?

  • rally is a combination of stages not a track, maybe a track that includes dirt and a road part

  • what is the name of that track

  • @Merto6 Cadwell Park.

  • Notice there are no Hondas in this video :) if only if i can teach my neighborhood that perfomance + Honda = Fart can retard clown car

  • /watch?v=P5DUnzY21z8

  • why is this guy sliding round small bends he can,t drive for shit

  • I thought the RB320 would have atleast created a reasonable sized gap behind it with the M-Coupe following.

  • i want to meet the sti driver he is sick x playing the crowd

  • bullshit thats a bmw, hhahaha!

  • It sounds EXACTLY like a Caterham R300 or R500. Seriously, listen to this and tell me how the fuck you think that is an M Coupe considering the complete absence of body roll and the fact that it sounds EXACTLY like a Caterham.

    /watch?v=P5DUnzY21z8

    It is something along those lines, as in a lightweight track car with a tuned 4 cylinder engine. BMW M-Cars do not sound like this, drive like this or shift like this.

  • @mindsmirror What the heck man? How on earth can you judge car by listening to some crappy quality sound in this video? How can you estimate amount of body roll by watching a video that looks like it's been recorded with pocket calculator? You're either stupid or just a troll, which is actually the same.

  • @OhFishyFish You don't know anything about engines obviously. It is easy as hell to make out that it's a Caterham R300 or R500. If you look at various videos of Caterham R300's and R500's you can determine this very quickly. No BMW has that little body roll or a 4 cylinder engine that sounds like that. It is, without a doubt a Caterham. It's not trolling, it's me knowing what the fuck that car is.

  • @mindsmirror honestly your being thick here... evo magazine is one of the largest motoring magazines in the uk... i'm pretty sure they know more than you do about the car in this video.... especially considering that they conducted this test and actually saw the car....

  • @chongwong Evo magazine didn't name this video and I have plenty of experience in M Coupes and other 6 cylinder BMW's, Nissans, Porsches, etc. This is a high revving 4 cylinder engine and the fact that you can't hear that makes you the thick headed fool. M Coupes have body roll, this car has essentially zero. M Coupes do not have this kind of handling or sound, period.

  • @chongwong Seriously, anyone who hears the engine in that camera car and thinks it's an inline 6 is a complete engine novice. NO INLINE 6 IN THE ENTIRE WORLD SOUNDS LIKE THAT. Go look up M-Coupe videos and listen to what they sound like, how they shift, handle, etc. Then look up a Caterham R500 and listen to what that sounds like, how it shifts, handles, etc. Then come back here and explain that shit to me again.

  • @mindsmirror could simply be a bad quality camera... with a bad mike....

    also i'm no engine novice.. i've worked in garages since i was tiny and i'm doing a degree in mechanical engineering (granted i've just finished my first year out of 4/5)...

    but still no matter how clever you think you are... a motoring magazine who had the car will know what the hell they'd been driving

  • @chongwong Are you really so stupid that you don't realize that this video wasn't named by evo magazine? This is NOT an inline 6. I have a ton of experienced with these engines. I too, have an engineering degree and it doesn't tell you ANYTHING about how to distinguish between 4 and 6 cylinder engines by the sound alone.

  • @chongwong Also, poor sound quality is not the reason that it sounds like this. It is revving way higher than an M Coupe, it is shifting way faster than an M Coupe (SMG or standard), the revs drop WAY faster than an M Coupe, the handling is WAY sharper than an M Coupe. There is ZERO body roll, which is hardly the case with an M Coupe. It's obvious that you haven't bothered to actually go listen to M Coupes, Caterham R300's and R500's and then compared them. I posted a link to demonstrate this.

  • @chongwong If this were EVO magazine's channel, I'd say you had a point. But it's NOT, you fucking fool. Now if you watch that other video and you still can't hear it, then I'm sorry to say that you are not experienced with engine sounds at all. I don't care if you worked in a garage or have an ME degree, neither one of those has helped you notice the countless clues that demonstrate this is not an M-Coupe. Just because some moron said that in the video doesn't mean it's true.

  • @chongwong Also keep in mind that the chase car isn't the car you see at the beginning of the video. They're using a much faster chase car because they want the camera to stay right on the Subaru while it goes all out. An M Coupe is not capable of walking all over this Subaru like the Caterham chase car does in this video. If you'd driven M Coupes (Or any inline 6 equipped BMW's for that matter), you'd realize there is no fucking way the chase car is an M Coupe.

  • @mindsmirror haha i agree with you man, no way in this world is that any kind of m coupe lol, not even if they said stig was driving it.. RB320 so sick, my next scooby.

  • Comment removed

  • Also listen to how quickly the revs drop between shifts, this is not a vehicle with a flywheel of any significant weight whatsoever. BMW's do NOT sound like this. I can't believe anyone who knows anything about engines and transmissions would think this sounds like a BMW 6 cylinder engine mated to any kind of standard or SMG gearbox from BMW.

    It simply isn't an M-Coupe dude. Also notice how much grip this vehicle has and how it is handling like a formula car. You need to look more closely here.

  • Comment removed

  • There is absolutely no fucking way that's an M-Coupe. That is NOT a six cylinder engine. It's almost certainly a 4 cylinder in my opinion. Judging by the way the transmission is shifting and the sound of the engine, I'm guessing it's something like a Caterham R500 or Radical of some sort being short shifted (ie - not redlined). It is shifting almost as quickly as a sequential gearbox, it sounds like a bike engine and transmission to me. No BMW street car transmission shifts like that.

  • what and like your and expert at this stuff ? ......just to say i dont know shit about cars

  • doesnt even sound like a z3 or z4 M

  • propably because they made it professional? Camera in front, mic on the back, because that exhaust you here, is not the impreza.

  • No, it's because they weren't driving a car equipped with a 6 cylinder engine (ie - it's NOT a BMW). Notice the COMPLETE absence of body roll, oversteer or understeer (It isn't even at its limit here) while the Impreza is losing traction a lot. Notice the extremely good braking ability, high-revving 4 cylinder engine and the extreme quickness with which the revs drop and rise between shifts. It's something like a Caterham or Radical. M Coupes do not sound like that or drive like that.

  • hahahah,covek vozi subarua smesno

  • the fastest taxi drivers in the country. excellent driving

  • Makes me horney. ! Swear that ill get u one daay baaby..

  • you filosofs enjoy this video and stfu

  • doesn't sound like an M Coupe (either Z3 or Z4) from the onboard engine noise..

  • Beautiful tail man wow he drives that STi really nice.

  • The tails coming out nicely on the sti.

  • That Scooby is rotating nicely... Mine is more prone to pushing unless I give it a flick.

  • all the subaru does is drift...loool, but its very cool to watch, good skills on driving it! its like if you pass the limit, he bites you very fast, must be awake!lol i dont know if its the m coupe behind, but if it is, its tuned, by the way he gets close to the subaru...

  • Comment removed

  • Thats never an M coupe chasing it, you can clearly hear that the chase car is a high reving 4 cylinder!

  • Comment removed

  • is it like always cloudy in Europe???

  • is like everyone stupid in america?

  • pretty much

  • Just like everywhere, there are stupid motherfuckers and people who know what the fuck they're talking about.

  • @uniden999 no, just ignorant, lol

  • @uniden999 everyone is stupid in america just like everyone is ignorant elsewhere.. ive lived in the us for 5 years now (job change) and the rampant retardation found on youtube is only found with southern rednecks and pre-teens. don't be so quick to judge, i know i made that mistake too.

  • how that stupid

  • @uniden999 just about yeh. they actually call stock subaru's ricers, lol land of the retards in america ^^

  • @uniden999 I agree, they talk so much bullshit its unreal, you can read a comment and tell its from America its that stupid.

  • @uniden999 Not all of us are ignorant assholes who dont know anything, I promise

  • @uniden999 is like u gay and like it up the butt

  • @hunterdmetz111 mate, get fucked

  • @uniden999 im sure u would like to get fucked...mate.. in your ass

  • @hunterdmetz111 do you even understand the context of my original comment? why dont you go and look through the comment section, find the comment i replied to, and fuck off.

  • @uniden999 good come back

  • @uniden999 yes

  • @uniden999 So whats the cause of this comment?

  • @WRXSubaru08 a comment from some American guy 'is it like always raining in europe' or something like that.

  • @uniden999 well Im sorry but people like that are everywhere not just America. But yes that was a pretty stupid question lol

  • It's a Cateram behind it.

  • Comment removed

  • wtf since when can a BMW keep up with an STI through the turns

  • i tought the m coupe was six cilinder that car chasing the impreza isnt

  • That's a beautiful track.

  • um no they have about the same in both and they have good acceleration up to 130 and then they slow down

  • alot of torque and not much hp? 332 lb ft and 320 hp..you make no sense.

  • they still have a lot of tork

  • ... tork?

  • wdf is tork??? it is torque!

  • fucking awesome.

  • fuken idiot thats a e46 m3 330 hp the new 09 m3 has 400 hp

  • the e46 actually came with 333hp.....but thts not ma point...the 09(e92) packs 420hp....not 400

  • 414hp

  • yeah at tha wheels.....ma e92 figure was power at the flywheel!!

  • well with 414 at the wheels and maybe 20% drivetrain loss thats about 496 at the crank. idk any drivetrain thats only gonna take 6hp loss

  • beautiful. sti lov thats all

  • where is this? its a beautiful track, wouldnt mind going there

  • This is cadwell park

  • what kind of tires does that subaru have cause, its sliding all over the road!

  • Comment removed

  • road is wet. Probably has semi-slicks. Notice he never lost control anyway, and it looked pretty damn cool.

  • class car for a classic man rip m8 !

  • the coment was a tribute so get a grip u faggot

  • OMG YOU LOT CAN'T READ ITS A BMW M-COUPÉ Not A Z4M

  • its not an m coupe.. where it says m coupe is a mistake as it says catheram on the evo website site.. kinda confirms it also as it sounds NOTHING like any bmw.

  • Also... M Coupes are based on Z3s and Z4s... I had a 99 M Coupe and it was listed as an M Series Z3 Coupe.

  • there referring to a evo

  • It's a caterham chasing FFS!

    A Z4M isn't going to keep up!

  • bye the way just to let you guys know, the sti is being chased by a caterham, i know this because i spoke to the guys at evo mag to sort this one out !!!! and yes i know that there is a shot of the z4 in the vid but its not being chased by it in this vid.

  • Yeah 'theberengersniper', well I'll go out on a limb and say about 110% of the people commenting on this couldn't drive like that. I know I sure as hell can't, and probably never will.

  • That's because most people on Youtube are fucking little faggots with no fucking experience in anything but jerking off to internet porn.

  • Got tires!

    Please STi driver get some fuckin Sport Cup tires!

    ..and practice

  • Man that subaru driver sucks, wheres Ken Block when you need him

  • I bet 99% of people commenting on this video couldn't drive that car that quick round a track.

  • Considering I drive a subaru everyday, I beg to differ. whoever is driving doesn't look that comfortable in it. AWD is different but hey i'm no expert, I just drive a 301awhp 342awtq wrx everyday and throw it through turns when i get the chance

  • @theberengersniper Stig could lol

  • A Z4M coupe would have no chance against the RB320 you idiots!

  • BMW 1 more horsepower, less transmission loss slightly lighter, looks like your the idiot !

  • Uh, rb320 0-60 = 4.8 z4m 0-60 = 5.0. So IMPREZA IS FASTER, plus more traction round corners as its 4wd. The Z4M has a poor chassis (any car expert knows this) and is a wollowy posers car, not a hard core JDM track attack car like the rb320!! Besides its not a z4m following, it sounds like a caterham or something!!

  • Correct: the chase car is a Caterham and the circuit used for the video is Knockhill.

    The chase car is NOT a BMW: the original video along with the associated feature ("Road and Track 2007") can be found on the Evo car magazine website.

  • tbtstt what are you taking??? The track is Cadwell Park. Knockhill is in Scotland!!!!!!! You must be an expert. Look up some other Youtube videos of Cadwell Park please before you give any more advice.

  • Oops! Sorry! I'll be honest I've been to neither so I wouldn't recognise either of them (I'm too lazy to visit tracks in the North!)

    I remember reading the article when they did this and I was sure that it was done at Knockhill: I just checked the Evo site though and they say Cadwell Park, so good spot!

    The chase car IS a Caterham though!

  • I don't think a time of 8:15 for the roadster and 8:10 for the coupe on the nurburgring is a car w/ a poseur chassis??? ever check what the last time the STI tracked? RB320 is a great car but that doesn't make me say the Z4m is a poseur car.

  • nice one!

  • Omg its sliding, that isnt race

  • i wonder if the STI is at 50/50 tq split

  • That poor, poor microphone. :P

  • You do realize it's just s special edition sti for Richard Burns vs a race car right? You really think they weren't just trying to make a cool vid of a subie sliding around corners? You have a lot to learn about cars.

  • not a race car, a normal z4mcoupe

  • Yeah keep dreaming mate.

  • No its not i was told 2004 corolla turbo setup. You can here the yota roar.

  • You were told wrong. The "yota roar" you hear is a 2.0L Ford Duratec.

  • Chase car (and the one you hear) is a Caterham R400 in lime green. This has been confirmed by Evo editors.

  • that makes a bit more sense

  • they are good drivers!

  • Not convinced. It sounds nothing like a boxer engine. If it is the subaru we hear, then the sound is well out of sync. It sounds like the camera car backs off after the subaru hits the brakes. The camera car "goes light" over that crest at about 2.09 and you can hear the revs rise.

  • dammm the evo makes that suby run for its life!!!!

  • It's an M-coupe you idiot!

  • This is to all you bastards from Europe! You all suck and we bomb the shit out of your pathetic little countries every time you fuck up. Or we save your bitch asses everytime your invaded. So shut the hell up and appreciate America. Because if there was no America, you would all be dead or speaking German. Especially you French sons of bitches. PUSSIES

  • ur economy is fucked, haha

  • ya and it was actually Canada who came and saved ALL of your sorry asses in world war 2 just so you know go ahead google it. BTW before 1970 Canada had a better military than the US until piere trudeau took our military apart.

  • dude no one saved Europe Hitler just made some stupid moves otherwise we'd prolly all be Nazi's

  • Unwownkids

    You're a dick. People like you give decent Americans a bad name. I expect you're only a teenager and so I don't take your comments seriously, but you really should give it up.

    Stop making a fool of yourself. Admittedly, here in Europe, we've been invaded many, many times, and each time the US has saved our bitch asses. Sorry, I was joking there. Anyway, try to engage brain before keyboard, please. There's a good boy.

  • go and see smokey nagata toyota supra v 12 950 h.p the japanes gay are the best >> and the new gtr nissan better than zo6 odi r8 lutas lancer evo and sti go and see the fucken video :)))

  • Two things America has invented: 1. Incest, 2. The fattest most ignorant people in the world. No wonder everyone hates Americans.

  • Fuck you bitch, your a typical person from another country. Where are you from? England? Like we have never saved your asses before...

  • i actually think australia is the fatest nation in the world now.... but the main point is. subarus are awesome..

  • que pedo con el subaru?? Se le van las nalgas bien loco.

  • nice movie, good job uploader!!!

  • you are the dumbest person on youtube..american cars are the uglyiest cars ever! they are made to go right..they cant turn..how can you compare something like to honda to chevrolet???!!come on!!

  • OMG You are retarded, u need some help

  • Learn how to drive

  • why showing this ugly impreza ass when you could show the Z3 M...

  • were is that track?

  • would be far better to have mounted a microphone in the Impreza so we could have heard that instead of the chase car.. other than that its very well filmed and some fantastic driving. :)

  • RB320 HO!

  • american cars are only good for drag thats it. and subaru is far from some imitation american car. who the hell puts a boxer engine in an american car...no one. try taking ur mustang out on a bunch of twisties. ull probably end up spining out into a ditch

  • american cars are only good for drag thats it. and subaru is far from some imitation american car. who the hell puts a boxer engine in an american car...no one. try taking ur mustang out on a bunch of twisties. ull probably end up spining out into a ditch

  • i strongly agree. rotary pride.

  • 10/10..!!

    love its sound.. just amazing..!!

    oh and american cars will send u to hell in tracks like these

  • i am american and i gotta say youve got shit for brains. American cars suck. Theres only a handful i would EVER drive.
