  • I work with Japanese engineers everyday. Sorry guys, love the USA, but the Japanese engineers just pay more attention to detail and manage manufacturing better. The results of this video are the result. Come on American engineers - when are you going to step it up?

  • 2007 mustangs were garbage. Now we have the 5.0 engine. That does 0-60 in 4.5 secs and beat the m3 on a track course. 

  • "If autographing the Walmart parking lot is for you, go with the Mustang"

  • Solid Rear Axel for the Lose.

  • AWD is for the big kids LOL...... pussys

  • The guy with the Shelby goes home with the girls. The with the Subaru goes home with, well..... a subaru.

  • @unjust2u your a dumbass, the guy jn the Subaru goes home with the girls because he has 4 doors and a big trunk for their shit. The guy in the mustang looks like every other guy in the USA with a mustang.

  • funner is not a word :p

  • i didnt need a video 2 tell me this i still respect both cars

  • STI. Duh.

  • lmfao 2 of 46 category's won, it would've been a lot more if you want to think about ever driving it in snow and rain

  • This comparison is one sided.... one is a hot hatch intended for extreme lap times and great handling while the other is a king of drifting and a pony car that will whip many in cruising at high speed. But the judge in this case loves hot hatches. This STI getys whipped by the Focus RS 500, its intended competition, which is front wheel drive by the way!

  • I had a 2008 STI, and if that blew away the Shelby, than that Mustang is sad. I say this because of all my rally cars (STI's, and Evo's) the 2008 STI was crap compared to the others.

  • I love how this guy speaks of the STI like its some miraculous gift from Subaru. He reminds me of one those 'As Seen on TV' commercials like Subarus pullin off some kinda gimmick with the STI

  • No one ever thinks if i save my SODA CAN STI it will be a collectors car someday

  • This was the newest gen subaru

    Get the 11 stang and put it against a 12 sti.

    sting wins hands down.

    But hey, everyone with a time machine out there may find worth behind the comparison this video made.

  • long story short, mustang sucks and sti rules

  • My 2002 stage II WRX blows my moms 2007 GT mustang away. 'nuff said.

  • stage II's get me sprung

  • Mustangs are a dime a dozen, heavy pieces of shit. With the exception of Shelby GT500

  • @wakeboarder66 The shelby is heavier than the base GT idiot...And its far from being shit. Both awsome cars, the subaru handles great, i tried my friends subaru sti and it does handle very good. But on the high way i blow his doors off :) Gotta love that american muscle v8 sound. But both are awsome cars dont hate on each other. Most people are just kids that dont even know what they are talking about. Cant wait to see what the new 2013 Shelby gt500 will do, 650hp at the crank. Now thats power:D

  • @ToxicReaper7 when i said with the exception of shelby gt 500 i was referring to the dime a dozen quote. I know its heavier than the gt

  • Way to go and hate on the winner,

    MUSTANGS RULE!!!!!!

  • subaru's all look the same and ugly :\

  • Comment removed

  • Zr1.

  • @sergsrt8 It's funny how I have watched countless reviews on the STI over the years and I've never once heard any expert say "watch out for that 2 year year mark cause the engine will go boom boom. Oh and don't even think about launching these cars because they'll break!" You my friend need to go work for insideline, hotrod magazine, or edmunds so you can educate them.

  • @9dewittk why would a review say shit like that about a car. They want people to buy it so they aren't going to say bad things about it lol. I know a guy who had a wrx and his motor blew twice. The second time subaru didn't want to cover it even though it was still under warranty. And launching a car hard wont effect it at all? believe what you want kid

  • @9dewittk dont forget that these companies have the car for like a week...lol the motor wont blow in a week. Notice how i said years... "Oh and dont even think about launching these cars because they'll break!"....ummm yea that sounds like sarcasm to me so obviously u think that it wont break.

  • 1,641 people are Ricers.

  • @SenileTomato Or 1,641 people just think it's a good comparison video...

  • The old mustang was weak. Race a new 5.0 and come back to me. Shut up about turns because i dont pass through the nurburgring to get to the store. And dont forget about the sti's engine going BOOOM in 2 years. Lol and the only way to get a fast 0-60 is if u launch hard but then ur car will break. Subaru also looks gay, look at them together the stang is a mans car

  • Nice cars those sti's are mean

  • since the ford GT the US was not able to make a car against the new generation cars. Maybe the ZR1

  • i just laughed at the title, a shelby vs a sti lmfao

  • 2011 Nissan GT-R Review - What the Auto Press Says

    U.S.News Scores

    Overall: 8.7

    Performance: 9.1

    Exterior: 8.7

    Interior:  8.2

    Safety: NA

    Reliability: 6.0

  • i am a camaro guy really. however the mustangs are getting nicer these days. still. i want a A arm front end. not struts if the mustang is gonna corner very well. it needs it.

  • i believe the new sti also has 2.5  liter engine

  • Old subaru is more nice than this new one. I love mustangs look and sound. Old subaru had 2.5 Turbo charger new one will have only 2.0 motor. SO SAD

  • Comment removed

  • 4 Wheel Drive....Best Performance....Best Handling....Racing,Rallying,(s­now,dirt,gravel )...Has Biggest Aftermarket....123 upgradable...Best bang for the Buck...Best Car PERIOD!!!!! what else do you need!?!?

  • Mustangs are cool, no doubt....

    But the STI really rocks!! Anyway you look at it. For overall value and resale, these cars are goof for your money.

    With an AccessPort tune/Stage 1 or hell go for a Stage 2 and set the center console drive system to S# and hold on for some real fun. AWD cars are so much more planted in real world situations. If you haven't driven AWD do yourself a favor and try one.

  • Ironically 2008 was one of the worst years for an STi...

  • up until 2011, or more so the new 5.0 gt, there was never a decent mustang till the old 5.0 lx and older models.. Go Subaru!!

  • 256 people drive mustangs

  • @12valvepower1 hahahahaha muscle faggs

  • LOL the slowstang lost yet again

  • @DimebagCFH4Life it's not a comparrison evrybody know's that the suabru would win so when there's a camaro or challenger up against the mustang then we'll see how is the slowest here's a hint name begins with c

  • ur racing on dirt of coruse the shelby will not win its dirt!. The sabru looks gross let me vs u with my shelby gt ill woop u bitchz

  • I saw a mustang gt last winter in 1 inch of snow. He was trying to move from a stop at a light. Even though he was cautiously accelerating, the rear tires were spinning and the back end kept slipping left and right. That is the only reason I bought the WRX over the GT.

  • I'm a mustang gt guy and the "shelby" GT version is a waste of an extra 12,000 dollars. Get a base one and throw a few bucks at it for a drag ready mustang.

    None the less I love 07+ STi's!!!

  • Fuck the mustang! I'm getting the STI!

  • you get way more women with a mustang

  • That was a horrible year for the mustangs. But that's why you wait for the new ones, it doesn't turn but the 2012 with 540hp is nothing to joke around with. But I guess when they ask for $50,000 it's to be expected, did you know they put the ford GT engine in the new shelby's, that's awesome.

  • Japanese all the way!

  • STI anyday.

  • Why would you compare it wit the Shelby? The GT is lots better and more in line...

  • @someone99899899 where you even watching the same video?? it doesnt take a genuis to see that the STI shitted on the GT

  • @7gabe0mike7 Yes I did watch the video, Did you read my comment? Of course the STI shitted on the sHeLbY GT, but i said they should have compared the STI to the Mustang GT (notice: no Shelby there) because the GT is better than the Shelby and more closely comparable to the STI

  • @someone99899899 haha my bad. i misread ur comment cuz im such an anti mustang person

  • @someone99899899 sorry man that was my brother, the 'gabe' in 7gabe0mike7. we share this account. He has a hard-on for STI's, or really any turbo 4 in general. I understand that he's amazed that smaller motors can be made to outperform a larger and unmodified motor, but I have explained to him countless times that if the aspiration of both motors were the same, the GT would win... Its funny because I myself have a mustang GT.

  • Don't be a hater because you bought a POS mustang

  • Why are you guys so racist. South Asians eat more rice than oriental.

  • Im guessing they did it cuz of the movie "Born to race" 2011. Lolz

  • Amazing review i have the exact same opinion

  • Racist american ford owners, give the under rated sti the respect it deserves

  • its funny because the subie isnt a ricer but the mustang is

  • @AviTheBlader ur a dumbass subarus do race in rally, and beat those pussy mustangs

  • @TechBurrowFanboy yeah im not a dumbass. im a subie fan:) maybe my comment made it seem the other way around lol

  • @TechBurrowFanboy i get what ur saying now

  • @AviTheBlader Do you know what a ricer is? It's a heavily moded import car. Mustangs are American Muscle cars, they're known for MUSCLE, not rally type shit. You ignorant fuck.

  • @lolpranksta ummm NOPE. a ricer is a car that has many cosmetic things to make it look cool that dont improve the performance. the subaru: functional hood scoop, tasteful but not overdone styling. The mustang: nonfunctional hood scoop, "racing" stripes, fake hood ties, and labels all over the car showing off what it is. THAT is a ricer. oh yeah and even though the mustang obviously isnt built for rally, the subie isnt built for straight line fag racing, but it kills the mustang in its own game.

  • @AviTheBlader Are you fucking serious. A mustang is not a fucking ricer because of its badges, hood, and stripes. It's already tuned to perform as it was made to do you dumb fuck. So was the suburu, each has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Go tell anybody on your street what a ricer is and they'll tell you it's any import car heavily tuned to sound like it's a rally car. Learn your fucking car history you incompetent fuck.

  • Hello,

    18 months to search for and find my 2007 Shelby GT .. She crossed the Atlantic from Dallas to finish in my garage and my hands every day for a year and a half. A beautiful American car on French roads in the East. Thank you to Ford

    This car is my American dream everyday ... Incomparable with any other car!

  • @dbrgk68 not the best place to say that comment because the STi just raped ur piece of shit

  • @dbrgk68 not the best place to say that comment because the STi just raped ur piece of shit

  • I only like the stang cause of the looks... But its too loud for little horse power... Loud bark but little bite... Ill take the scooby anytime just to leave the big dogs in embarrassment... Small car but a beast inside... Period...

  • Fuck that car they shouldn't have added if you wanna look like a bitch and sound like it to the Subaru the way to go

    I love the Shelby

  • I would like to hear the producers of this video sustaining an argument that could prove the relevance of this comparison. Totally different worlds of cars put together irrelevantly. I can't get the point anyway!

  • what kind of idiot would even compare these two?

  • Ahh, I get so tired of these InsideLine Subaru advertisements.  I get it. You like turbo four bangers. Sweet. Unfortunatly I don't find a car that is so computerized that a ten-year old could drive it efficiently to be "funner." Maybe I'm a bit old-school, but the STi is such a childish and unatractive car, whereas the Mustang has classic looks and a great sound.

  • @9Jonezy Sounds great as you are getting spanked off the line; in the corners, in pretty much every measurable way.

  • @9Jonezy Right. A 10 year old can drive the car eh. What a fucking idiotic statement.

  • Thank you for watching. Special thanks to Subaru for making this video.

  • Yea very different cars. ill take the modular v8 any day. throw boost at the v8 and its a lot more to my liking. Love tha fact of having a car that actually takes some driving skills to handle from a dig.

  • Stangs.... I don't like Stangs.... They look nice and all, but damn are they sluggish.

  • dont play with Japs they rock

  • @TheSwoopies 20 bucks says ur drive a coralla...so u my friend are a joke and your pos car... mustang may be a joke in ur eyes, but its the best damn joke around because everyone drives one... cant say the same for the piece of shit subaru...most are broke down

  • Very imprezive subaru

  • Shelby is the big muscular toughie with erectile disfunction...

  • totally different cars, its odd to compare them considering the mustang has a muscle car look and feel and the impreza is a rally car basically..

  • haha, gay shleby has a decorative hood scoop. hhaaaaaa!!

  • @IslaywitaAK hood scoop actually can be removed and you can add a shaker to replace that with no cutting on the hood at all. shaker is much better than an air intake

  • Comment removed

  • For the ppl compareing the new BOSS mustang for ore power . umm who cares b/c at the end of the day it realy matters how you can live with the car.? STi being more family friendly is much better plus your new BOSS may go faster but the subaru can handly snow , dirt , gravel fast so intill your all godly like Boss can go in snow with out running into a tree the subaru is still the better choice

    rSkEND UNLIMITED FmREE S M S TO ANY BaODY AT bit.ly\nD5kSa

  • This makes no sense to me. These are two completely different cars for completely different styles and types of driving. The STI is obviously gona handle better. This is like comparing a f-150 and a lambo, I wonder which one will win. Stupid.

  • i would pick the shelby any day! it would smoke the sti in a straight line and the mustang has way better looks

  • For the ppl compareing the new BOSS mustang for ore power . umm who cares b/c at the end of the day it realy matters how you can live with the car. STi being more family friendly is much better plus your new BOSS may go faster but the subaru can handly snow , dirt , gravel fast so intill your all godly like Boss can go in snow with out running into a tree the subaru is still the better choice

  • unlike the functional hoodscoop on the sti! lol i love it

  • @sixDUMBbeaners .....? It's not about the 2011 model tho. Why would they make it 08 Sti vs 11 mustang gt???? Plus this was made way before the new model was thought of. And if you really want to go that direction the 2011 Sti also has 100 more hp....AND is also better on pavement... What a weak argument: "well... If it was the BRAND NEW stang vs the LAST GENERATION Sti"... Seriously?

  • @WRXmayyyne Ha you're on crack if you think the 2011 STI has 100 more HP kid. It's still the 2.5L Boxer motor that you can find in the 2004 STI. No differences. The suspension has been tuned, the car sits lower, and it slightly wider. It makes 305 to the crank. Can you guess what it makes to the wheels?

  • @GetLikeRyan i was thinking the 08 wrx MY BAD it maybe has 200awhp on a perfect day.. but im just gona assume, since thats the only way you can disagree with what i said, that youre agreeing with everything else! thanks! once again and its the last time ill say it: THE TITLE is 08 sti vs 07 shelby. NOT 08 sti vs 2011 mustang GT. when (if) that vid ever comes out you can be all over it but you stang lovers are just gona have to accept defeat on this one! sorry!

  • @WRXmayyyne No worries man. And yes I agree with you absolutely ;)

  • Im about to get an 08 subie, im a life long and still am a mustang/almost any kind of muscle car fan. But i live where i would only be able to drive my stang maybe 8 months out of a year if im lucky and i found the only replacement i could take over a stang is a sti. The mustang will have to wait to be my second car :/. To the subie owners out there..could you tell me a good aftermarket site like (americanmuscle) for the stangs? Both of these cars are great, just depends on you.

  • my supra would blow the doors offa that stang 97 1jz single turbo and it leaves corvettes sittin.

  • UMMMMMM...... why would they put a rally style car up against a finely tuned muscle car that was designed to go in a straight line, tell me that.

  • i've blasted by STIs in my cobra... the STI doesn't impress me.. the new stangs will rape the STIs

  • @xmodrock Dude I'm a Subaru-fan, and Subarus aren't the car to use if one wants to go fast in a straight-line. A Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is a more suitable-comparable car since it has a closed-deck engine for higher HP and torque.

    But it should be blatantly obvious that an American V8-engined vehicle is far more suitable for straight-line dominance.

  • @AWDfreak the cobra has IRS and will put up on the track well.. and i agree.. american V8 all the way for drag.. the old STIs are the ebst STIs

  • @xmodrock I wouldn't be surprised if the Mustang Cobra (if that's the one you're talking about) would outhandle any newer Mustang because of the independent rear suspension.

    As for older STI's, in terms of engine quality, yes.

  • @AWDfreak quality is everything.. and i don't like that toyota owns subie now... and the 99-04 will probs outhandle the new mustangs... my 99 cobra handlles damn well.. much to my surprise i can easily take corners at 55-60

  • Too bad the subaru needs awd and a turbo to be fast. Yuck.

  • well if i had the money i would buy shelby. but im better off saving for a supra or rx-7. ohhh yes...

  • def the sti will walk a mustang gt. gas mileage, awd for snowif need be, 0-60's, rallyin..in every aspect the sti owns the mustang gt.

  • the mustang is a piece of shit

  • @stuckonaboard Nah, it may be primitive, but it certainly has become better over the years, despite most of them using the old-fashioned live-axle setup.

  • I don't care what any dumbass tells you. That generation of sti hatches is beautiful.

  • fast forward to 2011 and the mustang GT BOSS 302 would demolish the STI

  • @sixDUMBbeaners Ha you're still not getting the point dummy. The STI does the same, if not more, than the Mustang and with half the cylinders. That's really the only argument to be made. Remember that it is a FOUR CYLINDER and it beats the brakes off most Mustangs. I have a 5.0 and an STI and my Subaru is waaaaay more fun to drive. Just sayin

  • @GetLikeRyan wow i hate it when people tell me that. happens all the time. i know you dont own both thats complete bullshit. BOSS 302 and STI are race cars and are simmilar in cost. BOSS wins acceleration, top speed, turning on pavement and braking. ill give dirt roads to STI

  • @sixDUMBbeaners Never said I owned a Boss 302 dummy. I do, however, own a Mustang GT and a 2005 STI. I could prove it to you, but you don't want that. You just want to assume and sound like a moron. You've succeeded. I have a completely unbiased opinion because I do own both cars. When it all comes down to it, the STI is much more fun to drive than the Mustang in every aspect of driving possible. Have you ever seen 2-step on a Subaru or launched one off the line? Didn't think so dummy :)

  • @GetLikeRyan Just got to my channel and you can see my STI. Argument finished

  • @GetLikeRyan lol good one. too many times has someone tried to tell me they own both. your like the 5th time. get a 2011. mustang got a huge redesign. BOSS 302 for a similar price will our turn and go faster than the STI.

  • @sixDUMBbeaners Your ignorance is truly hilarious. You're simply too stupid (or embarassed) to go to my account and look at my videos. Hell, I even have one of my running my STI on the dyno. I own both. You own nothing. So stop pretending like you know something about cars kid.

  • cool

  • 243 people are american car fan boys

  • bias..

  • The STI out-performs the Shelby in every aspect of performance and with HALF the cylinders!!!! You really can't argue against it. It would be ignorant to do so.

  • Comment removed

  • well the subi has awd and stickier tires 

  • the new camaro SS, camaro ZL1, mustang GT, mustang BOSS 302 and mustang Gt500 would all destroy this subaru.

  • @sixDUMBbeaners but all muscle cars and american every car love to eat much petrol

  • @Emka951 the GT500 is thirsty at 23 highway MPG. the BOSS 302 which can actually out handle the STI gets similar MPG at 26. nowadays the V6 mustang/camaros get a little over 300 HP at a surprising 30 MPG. for your subaru the AWD feature likes to sip on gas.

  • @sixDUMBbeaners i wan to have a mustang but in europe we don't have it so i don care about muscle cars

  • @Emka951 the camaro gets exported to europe or it will anyways. since the muscle cars are actually worth buying now people besides americans might want them.

  • @sixDUMBbeaners from muscle cars i only want dodge Charger or Ford Mustang

  • @sixDUMBbeaners i wan a muscle car who eats les of petrol i like dodge challenger/charger,Ford mustang ,corvette zr1 can you give me atdvice which eat less petrol and is the best soory for bad english

  • @Emka951 With the cars you're looking at gas guzzling is kind of a given lol none are really super efficient except for the mustang GT with the turboed coyote v6

  • my shelby costs $32

  • sti all day long.Take it to the track and drive it to work.

  • if launched by a mustang driver not a subaru driver the GT500 currently will do 0-60 in 4.0. now the BOSS 302 is out and is designed to race at a track yes with turns in it. ive seen the boss pull a 1.0g on the skid pad. gt now has 412 not 300 and the GT500 has 550 and is planned to have over 600 for 2013. subaru loses

  • @sixDUMBbeaners we arent talking about the gt500 (50kcar) were talking about the defunct shelby GT (33k as the subaru), and you are correct, the boss will probably kill the subaru around a track, but im not sure how a 302 will do against a evo around a track, and i despise evo's, im a WRX and STi fan, and im just telling u the facts.

  • @reoxex these older mustangs sucked. now they have good performance. 0-60s are around 4.0 depending on the driver. the 302s are mustangs that are built to handle, race cars. they have 444 HP and a bunch of electronics and structural stuff to improve handling. 1.0g on the skid pad.

  • Hmm why is it that people are having these heated debates about mustangs??? Didn't this video kinda prove that the more practical, efficient, and useful car is the sube??? It's all about the Sti people... also the Subaru having half the engine makes it twice as impressive...

  • @WRXmayyyne as of the 2011 model redesign the GT would have won a lot more of the categories. over 100 more HP and its lighter. they can actually handle now too. upgrade the then new mustang BOSS 302 and you have something similar in price or a few thousand more that can go faster and turn much tighter than the STI. on pavement at least. the STI was designed with dirt rally track in mind.

  • @WRXmayyyne biased opinion

  • Dylan, you're a kid. And I don't really know if you are as sad or much more sad than those adults fighting with you about life-quality and cars. 'cause car are basically made to bring you from point A to point B and fighting about 'em on youtube is sad. BTW I'm from Italy, which has a low life-quality and is rules by an idiot, but is also the place where they build those lovely red cars called Ferrari which could probably literally draw circles around any Ford in any kind of competition.

  • V8's are tampons, every PUSSY has one

  • wtf the new shelbys run 12.7's in the quarter mile and that started in 2008 the new shelbys would punk that funkin ricer

  • @The32694 Uhh just so you know.. the sti is not a straight line car. It's a rally car. You know, for corners?

  • @SyLaRSaGe yeh i know

  • @SyLaRSaGe BOSS 302 mustang will out corner and out run the STI. explain that.

  • @sixDUMBbeaners On mud? with rwd? I doubt it

  • @SyLaRSaGe lol thats not what it was designed to do but its the first mustang that could do it. its got non slip differential and some other system plus it was tweaked to handle. you just need the right tires. AWD is just easy/noob mode of cars. like aim assist if your a gamer at all. get a good driver and the mustang boss 302 could do rally races too.

  • 1)You're crazy if you think for a second that AWD is 'easy' to drive. It actually resists you during a corner.

    2)2011 STi is radically different than this one. Boss 302 will have trouble with it on a track with curves.

    3)It's the gearing/AWD in the STi that is the cause of lost MPGs. The gears are just too short.

    4)Muscle cars today have longer gearing than before. They have the TQ/gearing necessary to achieve 30mpg.

    5)No mustang can or will beat an STi in a rally race, tires or not.

  • @DOHCEJ22E1 lol go make love to the tailpipe of the STi why dont you.

  • Just stating facts :) Can't be mad at that.

  • @DOHCEJ22E1 id probably have to give dirt roads to the STI but pavement belongs to the BOSS 302. yes a pavement track that has corners. 

  • I never said that the Boss 302 would lose. Only that it would have trouble with a 2011 STi, which says great things about the 302's handling capabilities. It's even capable of putting down a BMW M3. That's impressive in itself.

  • guess they for got to put the supercharger on the shelby.

  • @AdamWestable Shelby GT500 has a supercharger. This is a regular Shelby GT in the video.

  • I don't like Ford.. I have a 2004 Ford Ranger and a 1993 Honda Civic. My Ranger has 80,000 miles on it and barely runs while my Civic has 145,000 miles on it and runs fine.

  • The WRX is for me. Besides, I don't plan on racing with muscle cars anyway. Maybe only cars of a similar class as the WRX.

  • STI FTW

  • I still choose the mustang. most ppl dont know how to drive anyway. so these specs dont matter.

  • thats a shelby GT-H not a GT500

  • @marinebound21 GT 350 the GT-H is a limited edition Hertz rent a car..

    dont matter any ways the gt 500 is all power with poor handling the Roush mustang is better..

  • @zoneracer get your facts straight thats not a GT-350

  • @marinebound21 get my facts straight your the one calling it a GT-H

    I own a GT-h they came in one color only black with a gold strip. this car has a sliver strip.. dont tell me what I own. gt-h was made for two years with only 500 made per year..

  • @zoneracer it came in white and black with a gray stripe look it up

  • @Mustangsaregirlcars i got my own car and i got a good paying job alot of people care how hard people work not how the spell and you just fill out basic info so i dought i will miss spell

  • @TheDylan222222 "alot" - I think you meant "a lot".

    "how the spell" - I'm assuming you meant "how they spell".

    "so i dought i will" - I'm sorry, I have no clue what the hell dought is supposed to be.

    You've accomplished a lot in life I can tell. Considering you're not even up to a grade 3 level of spelling and grammar comprehension.

  • @Task9 yah ur right even tho im in 10th grade
