Lachute Performance - Impreza vs Corvette -

[HexoFire]

the guy in the vette is a total dick

who the fuck think to crash into other cars and risk pilots life?

[pietjanhenk]

driver of Subaru has passion and is Pro.

the Chevy driver is a fast local farmer on the track.

[chan625]

Humiliation...

[sheepborg]

Admittedly the corvette driver did not know the track, which was clear on many turns, But it is the subarus fault for the second accident. That driver was making an unsafe entry to the track, especially since it was at the inside of a corner like that in traffic. Idk who hit the subaru to make it spin, so i have no comment for that

[nonemc]

@sheepborg Yea, you spoke my mind, the Vett DID NOT hit the Subaru the second time, but the first time when the Subaru got hit from behind i dont know about that.

[SilentAssassin]

subie caught back up like it was nothing.

[boyum]

Man, i would of smashed the vett drivers face in after the race. Hopfully that was the subbie taking the vette at the line at the end of the race, that would of been salt in the wound. But judging by the vette's driving that was probably the subbie lapping the vette for the 8th time.

[Janusha]

What is this.. Demolition Derby ? The Corvette driver clearly didnt like being overtaken. Also the Corvette loses grip on his rearwheels surprisingly often compared to the Imprezza.

[Nobrega83]

m. vette = mothafucker de colisse!!

[simonpbl]

What kind of sick motherfucker is in that darn vette, deserves to crash so bad !

[Kimo0950]

méchant looser le comique dans corvette...si tu c pas chauffer ou ta trop d'orgeuil tu course pas tu dégage le chemin imbécile tu coupe pas pour pas laisser passer

[LightSpeedOne]

Where's the video of you beating the vette driver with your helmet? Qu'elle putin de merde, Il n'a accune affair d'etre en piste

[FleeceLiner]

The Vette driver is bad.

[MrSlowSkyline]

guy in the vette is dangerous and has no place on a race track.

[efabio]

Great vid/action.  I really didn't expect what happened at about 4:00... I'd be pissed!

That's why I SOLO ie: hillclimb

[atomicfire001]

It looks like the corvette driver has less skill and the car is not as prepared for the track. The track is also wet. Naturally, if you pour money into an STi and give it a good driver, it's going to do better than a letter equipped Corvette with a slower driver

[subeefan]

lol why did the wiper blades slowly rise at the end?lol

[Skylinetrw]

to john200715,

ya right you hate turbos to achieve 200+ hp cos you wanted a big fat heavy V8 in your car right, one with fuel consumption which drinks petrol like u drinking water, then when you take corners flat out, you ended up spinning in circles cos its rear wheel drive... good for you

[crg0011]

Shit les boys ça pousse .... très cool ... Raf srt4 ArmandAuto

[ItBurnsSomehow]

this video is fake

[PsuPepperoni]

kill yourself

[ItBurnsSomehow]

No you

[lilaznxloverboy]

wow really?

they couldnt drive well so the next best thing was to give a cheap shot in return?

::facepalm::

[kaynd]

That track re-entry at 4:20 was really improper. Driving was good enough but downshifts where a bit lazy. I didnt hear a throttle blip to help sync with the lower gear. Competition was all over the place and whats that car variety? Isnt any kind of class separation there? What the hell that small Toyota yaris is doing there.

[OreoDutch]

idk im not customer service, sounded like he blew something up

[420capricess]

I wouldn't drive on a wet track like that in a corvette, left him full of frustration and took it out on the better car.

A.W.D. Always Winning Douches!

[OreoDutch]

at 6:15 it sounds like he either missed a gear or damaged the turbo

[thisisdudewhoru]

please explain to me what damaging a turbo sounds like?

[subeefan]

it just sounds like he missed a gear

[MaximumPower01]

WRX was obviously the better car all-around, however, as most who race/auto-x know, the better car doesnt always win.

Props to the WRX though, as he ran a good clean race while the vette had to take a cheap shot just to hold on.

Also you could tell that the Vette driver was scared shitless of the WRX catching though with the way he was pushing the corners & losing traction, which was pretty funny to watch as it happened.

[PsuPepperoni]

6:19 fail.

just kidding, great driving!

[fatandy81]

Despite the predictable comments, this was very entertaining to watch just based on the fact that these are two completely different cars with different tire setups for the weather, and it was "heated". Enjoy the video for what it was. Stop trying to out-argue the internet, you're not going to win.

[sinbaadi]

Both drivers are rubbish.

[vicsterX]

nice driving for both car..

especially dat vette,RWD+wet track=uber spin.but he manage to control the car,kudos.

and credits to wrx for power and handling,although the vette wins the race..

2.47-3.00 look at the power of the wrx,the vette cant get the wrx off his tail..

if you look closely from 2.53-3.00 at the straight line,the wrx 'middle power' was fantastic..

and the track management was poor,the track was small but lots of car in there..

[sporewhore1]

wrx raped that vette. its sad he had to drive dirty to pass, and the wrx still caught up. hahaha that makes me laugh

[astri14]

Corvette won, this race was awesome.

Who the fuck cares about flags and all that bullshit? You need that for a race because you're pussies.

[paulmerz]

You, sir, are a fucking idiot. How does racing without rules make you a man (ergo, not a pussy)?

Yeah, who needs rules and safety regulations anyway! Fuck that!

Fuck, people on YouTube make me laugh hard.

[hks071]

corvette won in a race, but for the skill and car preformance, the wrx won, cos corvette was so far ahead after the wrx crash, and the wrx manage to catch up pretty fast.

[slimfatrich]

no, the track was wet and the WRX is AWD unlike the vette wich was spinning in every corner.

[hks071]

i realise that, but a choice of car from the driver. the corvette driver choice to get a RWD in a wet.

[bruddahmanmatt]

Skill? You obviously don't know WTF you're talking about seeing as how you can clearly hear that the driver of the Scooby is completely incapable of rev-matching his downshifts. I'm sorry but if you can't rev-match your downshifts you belong in the children's section practicing your driving techniques.

[hks071]

actually i didnt turn the volume that high, but might be wrx driver skill are not as high as a real pro racer, but he was a bit better than the corvette driver, he counter steering is not that good to be honest. like a beginner drifter trying to powerslide

[paulmerz]

So much fail.

First, why are they racing with a cracked windshield?

Second, why are they racing on a wet track?

Third, why are the high hp cars like the Vette and Subie racing with little Japanese hatckbacks?

Fourth, after that dangerous (and probable contact) at 2:50 or so, why wasn't there a flag?

Fifth, after there was contact at 4:09, why did the moron rush back on the track?

What a bunch of fucking jerkoffs, all around.

[Pick1980a]

Yeah no one races on a wet track? Or on one with more than four corners! Or with multiple classes.

WOW your ignorant!

Watch something other than NASCAR!

[paulmerz]

LOL! Yeah, I'm a big NASCAR guy.

GO MURICA! I LOVE MY TRUCKS, FOOTBALL AND BUD.

Sarcasm.

Faggot.

[JayCadilak]

Couldn't agree more.

[DrRockalopouls]

actually at ~4:22 it's the Lachute impreza driver who rams the vette, FROM OFF THE TRACK at the apex! and no black flag?!

otherwise some good racing in here as the track dries out!

[nist7]

LOL

The Corvette spun him out at 4:09 where's the black flag huh?

[Cypern]

Big idiot in the Corvette....

[syedyasin93]

anybody knows what bov is this scooby using??

[ErikReventon]

That Corvette sounded pretty wicked at 2:45

[KiLo64]

who rear ended the sti during the turn at 4:09?

[jv2k]

It was the guy in the vette. Big hit too. I kinda just expected the vette to not be able to catch up after he lost control but instead he pushed his way through.

[GOLTURBO555]

down sizin rulez da world...

[Fovos]

It is not who is better driver, check the video you will see both doing some reasonable mistakes just like any other racing driver. If you are asking me i think that was a great demonstration of RWD vs 4WD the handling of Impreza it is just unbelievable. And clearly the vette driver using some old school racing technique ..If you cant pass them, ram them. Nice Video

[ApachyDaro]

there a lot of contact in this video (not just the subaru and the corvette)

[DNATS]

@ 3:21 subbie overtakes, vett loses control

@ 4:20 dumbfuck vette heavy contact into subbie to overtake (wtf does it think this is? Dirt 2?)

fuck vette can't drive for shit.

[ph00ny1]

um no

he should have stayed off the track until traffic cleared before joining back on to the track. You think vette should have slowed down to someone back out onto track instead? Looking at the bmw hanging its tail out so quickly, it's pretty obvious that the track is pretty damn slippery. Try driving a high torque rwd car in the rain balls out and let me know how well you keep that rear end from stepping out

[nonemc]

@DNATS Most people in Vetts cant drive Vetts for shit, i am a Corvette guy and when i see drivers like that it disgusts me, look up the C6.R (the drivers for that Vett are the best), remember, sUbArU is all wheel drive (anyone can drive an all wheel drive car), rear wheel cars take more professional skills, and in the end rear wheel drive cars will always own all wheel drive cars.

[chan625]

@nonemc I take your point and I do have a huge respect for Corvettes (was the only reason GM was bailed actually :P)

But not anyone can drive all wheel drive cars...at least not on racetrack. Whatever the car is, you'd still need a focused mind behind it to race fairly and cleanly >>

Ohh yes and to win...!!

[nonemc]

@chan625 GM got bailed out because of all American Brands they are the Most Productive ones, they don't sell very well in America anymore (at these time) but world wide GM is one of the top selling Brands in the world, China and other Countries buy more GM cars than any other Brand (GM does not rip you off like all other brands, GM = The most bang for your buck), Most Asian cars are not so reliable/efficient anymore, the Corvettes get about the same and even MORE MPG than a lot of Asian Cars....

[chan625]

@nonemc It was supposed to be comic, as the smiley indicates...

But whatever....my point is its 'how you drive is what matters more than 'what you drive'

Just having a 4-wheel drive doesn't make you winner at any stage...call upon Lancia vs Audi Quattro historics

[nonemc]

@chan625 Oh yea, i agree with you, no matter what you race or what you race in, its all about the driver (in a fair race of course).

[chan625]

@nonemc @nonemc Also...I personally believe Ford is much better as a corporate entity. Just owning outside brands doesn't make their success truly yours, even though the balance sheet says so...

While Ford downsized seeing difficult times ahead, GM kept acting blind and proud. As a result General Motors is now Government Motors!! and still now if you don't consider govt. handicap, they are not doing very well

chk the implications of bailout vid

[nonemc]

@chan625 Yea, Ford is good, they are my second choice, but when it comes to Bang for your buck (not getting rip off) and performance and efficiency and reliability GM comes out on top, and that is not me just saying that, those are the facts, yes GM was VERY BLIND, but know they are coming back up to the top slowly but surely and they have some of the MOST efficient and reliable cars out their compared to other Global brands (and its just the beginning).

[nonemc]

@chan625 You know GM paid off their bailout in Full a few months ago, right????? Years ahead of when it was due.

[chan625]

@nonemc Not all of it...as Govt.(both US and canada) had aided GM in form of Loans, Equity capital, working capital and some kind of handicap in taxation, each accounting to different amount.

I think they paid back loan and working cap but equity is still there if partly paid and so are the tax benefits.

Also if Govt. takes out money, there is a danger of GM crashing down at wall street again.

I hope they come out of this, but with decisions they've made, I think they dug this hole themselves

[nonemc]

@chan625 The rest of it is not a big deal, they will take care of that, but yes, GM did get themselves in the hole they are in know, and i am VERY glad that they did, that is the only way they would ever learn, i have always been a GM owner and fan but i also saw all the ignorant and stupid things they did for years and hoped that one day they would start doing the things they are doing know, they are on the right track again, and if i was the owner/CEO of GM i would have.....

[nonemc]

@chan625 changed GM a LONG TIME AGO, i wish they had done what Ford did and cut back on a lot of things but that is not the case and they will learn the hard way know (they have learned), know i am looking forward to seeing them come back to the top and seeing all of the new things that they will come out with, it is long due but finally here, the world will see what GM is truly about, but in the end their performance in Motor Sports has always been on top and still is on top,.....

[nonemc]

@chan625 there is no changing that, no matter what GM is going threw right know, their cars still have better performance than Asian cars. 8)

[chan625]

@nonemc Asian Cars...not Asian Godzillas! Ref : His GTRness :P

[nonemc]

@chan625 I did not get your last message?????

[chan625]

@nonemc Nissan GTR knocks on the door!

[nonemc]

@chan625 Yea, GT-Rs are good, they still are not Better than the Vett Ford GT VIper Porsch Ferrari etc, but they do stay up some what.

[chan625]

@nonemc Considering they are four seater(properly) and much usable as everyday car they are double time better package than any of you mentioned. Also great value for money + Reliability and you just gotta see how they launch off the line...

Let down on looks but thats the only flaw & its not ugly by any means if not mass appealing enough

[nonemc]

@chan625 I like the look of Subaru STIs, but if i want a 4 seater i would buy a 4 seater and if i want a sports car (Vett) i will buy a sports car, all 4 wheel drive cars get a very quick launch in the start but then fall back a few seconds later, have you seen the Chevy Cruze (5seater) racing in Europe, they won and have been doing VERY well. 8)

[nonemc]

@chan625 Look it up.

[nonemc]

@chan625 And i say that anyone can drive/race all wheel drive cars because its true, i race every weekend and i have been in a STI, EVO, SKYLINE, etc, and they are VERY EASY to drive, you need WAY more skill to drive RWD cars, but when it comes to racing (no matter what you drive) if you can see and know that you are slower than the guys behind you you need to move out of the way and let them pass you by, you cant be fkn up everyone else behind you (just what the Corvette was doing).

[nonemc]

@chan625 I race every weekend and i have been in a STI, EVO, SKYLINE, etc, and that is why i am telling you that AWD cars are easy to drive, RWD cars take more skill, but in racing (no matter what you drive), if you know and see that you are slower than anyone else you have to let them pass you by, you cant be fkn up everyone else behind you (just like what the Corvette was doing), the Corvette should have been taken out of the race.

[nonemc]

The Vett did not hit him, someone else hit the sUbArU and when the Vett went on the outside to pass the sUbArU the sUbArU hit the Vett.

[89x237]

@nonemc well if you study the video called "Lachute Performance - Accrochage ICAR Juin 09 -" at the right of this video, very carefully you will see that the vette driver was in the wrong.

[AlphaSphere]

The guy in the corvet can't drive. Plus an impreza handels better than a corvet.

[thealphabetsez]

Good heavens, invest in a spell check.

[john200715]

The impreza doesn't really do anything for me. When you sit in a 'Vette you are excitied, you have the 8 cylinder rumblin. You sit in a Impreza there really isn't anything exciting about it. And the Vette deosn't need turbos to break 200 HP.

[GOLTURBO555]

vette, got his ass kicked by a Impreza thats all. now shut ur mouth, or fingers faggot

[jv2k]

Ass kicked? The vette was in front most of the time except for when he spun out and by the end he won the race.

[john200715]

Come on man stop being a tough guy on the internet, tough guy's don't drive Subaru's. And that was a heavily modded Impreza, put that up against a heavily modded C6. Impreza doesn't give you the thrill of a 'Vette, the engine sound like shit, your sitting in a match box car all cramped up and shit, RE070's wear out in 10k miles, the STI can't handle over 400+ WHP with stock block/head, the STI has a stiff ride sucks for long ride. And's it's a Subaru

[sickbugz]

you only needed to say those last 4 words to show your bias, and since you have shown your bias, your entire point of argument is now null and void, go sit in the corner

[john200715]

Your just to boneheaded to think outside the box to look at anything other than an STI. Hatchbacks look like shit, the only Asian cars I would own are Nissans. They actually make driver's cars. And I'm not biased I hate most tuner cars the same. If you like putting turbos under the hood to get 200 HP that's fine with me, you will never see me doing that shit.

[TURST67]

pourquoi les essuies glace montent pile au moment ou il franchit la ligne d'arrivée ?
