  • I drive an old Subaru hatchback now and would love a wrx but it's just not in the price range and everyone thinks their mods add huge value to their car so im going for a gti instead both great cars though

  • @muellerpk There is I big difference between a 2008 and a 2011 WRX. A 40 hp difference due to the 08 having a TD04 and the 11 having a VF52.

  • Lol, that GTI is NOT stock. I race my friend (in my 1.8T) and in his WRX, just a chip won't beat him. That thing's K04'd or GT28'd.

  • @SleeperWag The gti is definatly stock, 180 WHP 172 FT lbs of torque, it is a 20th and has a 6 spd transmission, other gti's have 5 speeds, and older gtis have 150 HP versions of the 1.8t, not 180.

  • @SleeperWag I dunno man, you must be doing something wrong, I have a 24 valve VR and I was dead even with my buddy's 02 wrx, both bone stock. The WRX actually puts down a little less to the wheels than the GTI because of the parasitic loss of the drivetrain and distributing that power between 4 wheels. Granted the VR has 200 hp, as opposed to the stock 1.8t's 180 hp, I would think a chipped 1.8t would at least keep up with a WRX 08 and back.

  • ?????/ u can be a shitty driver and still beat that thing, i got a 2011 wrx and i beat a modded 2010 gti with an automatic and I suck at driving

  • a stock wrx does 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and idk the gti but when my b6 a4 1.8t was stock with a hard launch it was about 8...

  • @crzygutrsnobrdr b6 a4 weighs about 700 lbs heavier than a mk4 1.8t..

  • @crzygutrsnobrdr from a roll its a lot different. wrx has awd traction advantage off the line

  • Good race considering the wrx is 5 years newer and up against a 2003 1.8t. I'm sure the gti had more miles on motor also.

    You would think wrx even with passenger should have done a little better stock vs stock then it did, but yes VW FTW! I love my big turbo 20th!

  • I own a Mk4 GTI and I love it. But adding a passenger to a car makes a world of difference to acceleration. The WRX probably would have won minus the passenger.

  • The GTI is a stock 20th AE GTI. Differences is the turbo it has a KO3s instead of a regular KO3. It spools faster and stock has 20 more horsepower, So yes they're probley both stock

  • Dont get me wrong I love subaru and have mad respect for them, I just wanted to upload a video of Stock VS stock comparison since you dont see that much anymore. People stop hating on eachother and just enjoy a good hearted race for a change.

  • Thought the WRX was faster.

  • he lost cause of the fat chick in the passenger side!! haha jk

  • im a huge dub fan but either that dub is modded to shit or the wrx aint trying at all.

  • how did your wrsex get beat by that gay little gti

  • ryan is to fat thats why he lose

  • Now, to real racing: Rally.

  • Haha... I rathe have the awd rally car. Just saying, turn up the boost and your set.

  • i love wrx but gtis r so underrated tunned right the bitches rip they out handle wrxs stock vs stock which is sad im sorry to say Subaru needs to hit the drawling board back up

  • @ELGUNDOWN what are you talking about?

  • The VW is a piece of shit!the driver is a dumb fuck that was driving the WRX... that WRX SHOULD have walked all over that VW.. fuck me

  • @enzo2enzo2enzo 08 wrx are the worst performing wrx's in terms of both acceleration and handling

  • wv rules man, leave the wrx away, wv will always win

  • keep pressing the number 0 to hear a girl having sex :)

  • @rukiz06 oh yeahhhhh

  • you may just be the shittiest driver i know

  • hey i have a imola yellow 20th =P stage 2 giac pulled a bus on a 08 wrx =P

  • Nice run, but the GTI wasn't stock. Stock for stock the WRX is faster. I have friends that own both.

  • @gyzmo515  The gti is stock, trust me there were no mods on it when this was recorded as ive mentioned before.

  • that was bs it looked like the wrx hit cruise control and let the vw pass.

  • I gotta say i love vw, but i would have expected a different outcome here.

  • ok i drive a 02 gti 1.8t stage 1 tune chipped 3" exhaust and intake. it may be quick but stock against a wrx... i am disapointed in the suby

  • @02gti024 80% driver, the rex shoulda took him no problem....

  • that is a discrase to subaru that guy needs a lead foot

  • Why start at like 30 mph?

  • Don't be hater be innovators!

  • I need to rephrase......my 20th.. VW GTI can give my GT3 a run for its money only after I installed a K04 turbo conversion!!

  • my yellow GTI 20th anniversary, just like the one in the video turned into a monster with just a simple chip and cold air intake. These cars have much potential that VW does not want people to use..My GTI is the closest thing to my porsche GT3! of course it will not outrun my porsche but will give it a run for the money all the way to 50mph. After I installed a K04 turbo, it will outrun a modified EVO, I have done it!! I even race a new mustang GT but missed a shift and lost, otherwise I had it

  • @vortech48 lol id be something if it outran the porsche haha...I got the 1.8t with exhaust, chip and intake its nuts, beating those pricks with their american cars that think their the shit when they park beside you and get cocky

  • i like how the vid starts lmao

  • this video is embarassing

  • bad video , ugly dude hahahaha....

  • @pancho8334 shut the fuck up fag. the only person that would care about how someone looks is a judgemental shitdick who still doesn't get it and is still immature. that dude could be cool as fuck for all you know. some people really do deserve to be put down... such as this pancho prick.

  • i have a 08 wrx and beat a 07 gti chipped by like a car length.

  • I don't know a lot about WRX's but I do know that a bolted ang chipped GTi is devlishly quick.

  • @10072018

    I just got a 2008 GTI and I have a friend with the same one and he said that chipping them out turns them into monsters. Said it is a totally different car after you chip it, and if you take it in to the place (JDM I think) they will reset to factory so you can fly under the warranty radar if need be.

  • @M2490311 JDM? dude v-dub is german, and JDM stands for Japanese domestic market

  • @sharef93

    No mang- I know what "JDM" is, but there is a company here that goes by a similar name that chips VW's and it's "JDM or JDB" Some shit. I had a bolt-on CRX in 2000 that ran 13's (ZC with JM cams, chipped, bolted, AEM sprockets and the final drive replaced with that of an American Si)

    I think you misunderstood me mang. There is a local company that does great chipping on GTi's and it has very similar abbreviation to "JDM" as we know it.

    I wanna get another CRX and do LS VTEC.

  • something must be wrong with the driver of the wrx or the car because that would never happen even stock from stock

  • well gti's are really meant for a road circuit coarse while the wrx is meant for rally love both car but for road i think the gti is better especially with the vr6

  • gti wiht nitrous ????

  • WRX driver is gonna strip 1st gear if he keeps shifting like that

  • @jakubgt1 whats wrong with how he shifted?

  • Damn, I drive a GTI and even I'll admit that it should have lost. Hmm.

  • VDub for life!

  • sti would dump all day.

  • driver fail

  • lol this is a great example of a good race, no hatin on this vid, stock vs stock. no bullshit. 

  • The WRX hauled more weight with 2 passengers while the GTi had just one. If the passenger filming wasn't in the WRX it may have been a different story, but then we wouldn't see it on Youtube, lol.

  • it's that chubby wrx driver that slowed them down

  • @REALTALKFEELME LMFAO, 

  • 08 wrx driver -50 hp

  • lol that 08 wrx lost to an old 1.8t

  • if the scooby driver lost 13stone it would have been no contest..THATS the only reason it would be bettered by a crap Veedub.

  • @funkyrimpler 13 stones? wow what are you a caveman, measuring in stones still?

  • no the 08 just is the worst year wrx, sorry but they made it heavier and gave it no more power, that is why in 09 they changed it again so quickly.

  • Something is wrong with this picture

    WRX Owner

  • @JAYFROMHARLEM amen

  • I have an 02 spec v with bolt ons. I love my car but even I can't do that in 5.5 dude.

  • I would take a GTI over any jap car any day. Thumbs up to VW

  • @JoshChadwick haha yea man

  • @JoshChadwick german cars are a pain in the ass. cant beat japanese reliability

  • @JoshChadwick supra, rx7, skyline, sti, evo.... a gti over all of those....

  • The E-Thuging is strong in these comments.

  • @gtfo9999 lol, E-Thugging... Nice.

  • the wrx gets crappy whp since it has to push all the hp through the awd sys.

  • the guy in the rex cant drive drives like a fucking pussy no way the gti will beat it

  • And no none of these cars (GTI, WRX) are considered "TOP" Performers, but they can hang with even moderately modified High End Sports cars with enough Parts & Tuning Dropped in.

  • The wrx is about 220 hp at the Crank with AWD

    The GTI is about 180 hp at the crank with FWD

    It is highly possible for this to occur.. This was from a roll

  • 2003 20th gti 0-60 6.5 and 1/4 in 14.9

    2008 wrx 0-60 5.7 and 1/4 at 14.4

    visit road and track for the road tests on both.

  • @blatsucka

    when me and him ran at the track i got a 15.2 at 91 and the wrex got 14.8 at 97

  • Comment removed

  • Well either way, the 1.8t is a nice little package. I have an 03' 20th (#3004) and it runs very nicely with my new downpipe and uni1+ software.

    Last time I ran (I'm not very experienced) I ran a 14.2 @ 103 mph. The software is 550$ and the DP was only 139. Cheap upgrades!

  • @717Veedubb well your'e just a shitty driver its not your fault dont worry

  • road and track times are way wrong

    drive cars dont read about them

  • Is that why you are employed by one of the best and most trusted car testing firms today? Oh, wait, you're not...so stfu. I own the same yellow 20th pictured here. These magazines etc. exist for us who cannot drive every car we are curious about. I'm glad that you have driven every car in the world and know better than professionals. Next time mind your own business, okay douche bag?

  • wow im just saying. they say a spec v does 0-60 in 6.7 when i can do 5.5 in mine, when it was stock.

    they cannot drive.

  • @LVSpeed

    No, you cannot go 0-60 in 5.5 in your 200 hp tin can. You timing by your stopwatch doesn't count. Get to a real track and show me your times...you must be running stock, with 200 hp at 13.3 ...the spec v is the best car ever i guess

  • lol maybe if you're turboe'd..no way you can do it in 5.5...every spec v comes with 175 bhp,I have a 06,my friend has an 03...i hit 60 in 7 seconds,he hits it in 6.0 or so but he has CAI,Exhaust and Perfromance Cams,mine is stock.

  • i have an 09, dynoed at 196whp/194wtq

    so stfu since you dont know anything, when i have just headers and midpipe i did a burnout and then launched and hit 60 in 5.5 seconds, its on a cell phone (my friend recorded it)

  • ok prepare to be owned you fruit basket.

    I was talking about the 2002-2006 version of the spec v when I said it came with 175 BHP...the 2007-up has 200 bhp...I own a 2006 Spec V and I know what it can do...the reason why the new version is a joke [the one you own] is because it weighs 3000+ lbs...it has the SAME amount of Torque as mine does and it's just ugly...NO WAY YOU HIT 60 IN 5.5 Secs...a Turboe'd Mazdaspeed 3 does that and it has 260 bhp,anyone can say i'm this fast,prove it fag.

  • im not owned fag.

    yeah i weigh 3100lbs but i have a higher reline high compression. you read motor trend i see...an ms3 does a fast 0-60 time since one kept up with my friends sti.

    yes i have, i know how to drive, a burnout makes your tires stickier (you go faster with no wheel spin) i hook and can do it in 5.5. you should learn to drive, but an 06 can only do like 6 with the same mods because you shift so much before 60. i can hit 61mph going to 7250rpms so yeah shut up ricer.

  • just shut the fuck up already..you seem to use the same defense every time "I see you read motor trend" you're exposed,it's an easy way out for you when someone wrecks you online with facts....truth be told the new spec v is UGLY,Fat and a waste of a good motor....NO WAY YOU HIT 60 in 5.5...let's see some video,you seem to claim this and that without backing it up...you call me a ricer,but technically you are a ricer yourself by owning a Japanese car...IDIOT.

  • oh wow you are cool, getting mad online. you ever think that there are peole that are better drivers than you?? BECAUSE THERE IS ALOT, and i am one of them.

    your friend with intake, exhaust and cams isnt as fast as me, the shitty JWT cams only add 8hp Oooooo big deal. a fully bolted b15 doesnt make what i had stock. so yea with 24 more hp and more toque i can shave a 1/2 a second off especially when i can drive my car as good as anyone can drive.

  • @LVSpeed thats bs i raped a spec v from a 40-80 we rolled 3 times i really doubt you spec v does 5.5

  • @blatsucka man those numbers are an average.It all depends on the driver.Stock cars modified drivers......

  • No, not BS. I used to own a 1.8t and now own a Saabaru (WRX).

    The fastest stock 1.8t I have seen ran a 14.9 at 95 - that is fast enough for the results above. The 08 WRX is only a 93 mph car in most mags

  • Should have waiting for the 09 WRX.

  • bullshit.

  • So this means that the WRX will need to mod his 2.5L turbocharged engine in order to beat a 1.8L turbo.

    Yep, that makes sense to me ,Subaru sucks big time!

  • I have a 1.8t and i usually beat VR6's quite easily as well. My brother does too, in his 1.8t jetta

  • i beat WRX in my 05 GTI all the time.

  • lol real car huh? i got a "real car" for ya also

  • Your matchbox cars dont count as real cars dude.

  • new subies are lame. dont buy one like this idiot

  • @davidpowell5  I love my 07 hawkeye wrx! Anything newer looks terrible

  • this cant be right, I wouldnt have thought even my 181bhp measly remapped 1.8t would beat a wrx..??

  • The GTI cant be stock., And if it is I wonder if my VR6 would beat that wrx. Subaru is the beat jap car out there.

  • @JoshChadwick My MK3 VR6 can

  • Yeah cause of the rusted rockers and floor boards. like mine

  • I guess

  • I feel bad for anyone who got suckered into a 2008 model WRX. It's a darn shame.

  • Ok, Rex owners, Do the top mounts really loose drastic horses when heatsoaked?

  • yea they do when ur boosting over the stock set up.

  • if its a aftermarket top mount and goes untuned yes.

  • @717Veedubb not really

  • @717Veedubb not at all...lol when your driving your getting fresh air hitting the TOPMount

  • @717Veedubb With no heatshield on the turbo yes, but if that's a bone stock '08 with the heatshield on he'd have to have driven for 400-500 miles for it to really take a 10-15 hp toll on performance.

  • everyone here is a fag, and the driver is fat

  • EXACTLY

  • @rvz77 yup and the WRX cant handle it lmfao

  • do it again from dig. u will have better chance

  • i own a 1.8T (180 TTQ - 3" DP/uni. stg. 2/etc.) and i've driven the new wrx (which i want to get)

    and there is no way a k03/k03s could keep up even with the stock 08' wrx.. a flashed k04 (225TT) could smoke a stock wrx, but even with an accessport, the wrx would be the winner.

    btw revo + uni > giac/apr. revo and uni have injector specific files + better BT tunes/flashes.

  • Yeah there is something fishy about this "stock" 1.8T......This guy needs to man up and list his supporting mods.....

  • Comment removed

  • if that vw is near stock...that sucks...

  • Tellin you dude, no mods, boostin 9-11 psi at spike, thats stock levels. The WRX's Intercooler was Heatsoaked, thats the only explanation to how well the gti raced against the rex. we were out drivin around for about an hour and a half before this race, so i can only imagin the top mount on the rex was just very hot, and caused it to loose substantial horsepower. I know heatsoak can be bad on GTI's but i cut vents in the fenderwell for my sidemount. This is to the best of my knowledge.

  • Comment removed

  • ahhh...i see

  • Stock ECU BWahahahahahahaha try Revo Stage 2.....The new WRXes are 1.) Ugly as Fuck 2.) Overweight and spongy

    3.) You cant pull pussy in that car

    The 2006 is alot nicer....With the 2.5T and the 5 spd its like a 22b STi, It weighs alot less and has the nice sporty rally look (that subaru should have kept) New subs are Garb.

  • dude i will take a video of my boost gauge under pull now as it is, i only get 11 lbs on spike, 9-10lbs steady dude i am not chipped theres no way.

  • dont get revo man. unitronic or GIAC is the most aggressive chip you can get and it will blow your fucking mind if you already have the supporting parts

  • GIAC is raw performance but DEFINATELY wares out your engine alot quicker....I have heard there are problems with the revo chips also....mostly on 2.0ts....That GTI DEFINATELY is not stock....It pulled like the GTI i raced which had a k0 4 and a GIAC tune (very slowly pulled on my STOCK 2006 WRX 2.5t) Dont get GIAC if you commute, shit sucks under lower operation....engine sputters backfires etc....Revo has been making parts for VWS ever sense corrados right?

  • revos not a bad company. there track record is good its just if you maintain your engine then any of these companys are goodtime in the neighborhood. it makes your turbo go from economy spool to literally "on or off" lol kinda like a reflashed evo

  • wellmaybe they dont need to pull pussy...just cuz u need a car to get pussy doesn't mean others do

  • :.( wow my feelings are hurt I mean a NICE CAR HELPS DOESNT IT ASSHOLE? Just because you dont have a nice car or get laid dont make fun of me because i do.....Get a life

  • i cincur kind sir. some cars aren't meant to be hatchbacks. gimme a 200-2006 any day!

  • yea in 09 they make 265 but just last year, WRX only produces 230 hp! and actually have 180hp on wheels... so... yea! do the math!

    i think v-dub is packin somethin under hood other than stock!

  • wake me up when you guys hit 60 mph.

  • lol

  • There is no way a stock 1.8t can keep up with a stock 08 WRX

    The guy driving the rex cant drive for shit

    WRX OWNER

  • ok look i dont wana hear anyone talk shit on vw because guess who got the 2009 WORLD car of the year award???? THE VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. TAKE THAT N SHOVE IT UP YOUR VTEC ASS

  • Fuck yea dude last year the GREEN car of the year, the first EVER diesel won this award, what car was that ladies? thats right the VOLKSWAGEN POLO!! This year the 09 Golf 6 got overall car of the year. What honda? what? take a seat.

  • oh yeah i did hear what honda was known for... the honda fit was recognized as one of the unsafest production cars of this year.

    german cars are doin good things now a days. well its always been like that lol. american cars cant even stay in business without begging for out tax dollars

  • not to mention Volkswagen may quite have possibly passed toyota to be the largest auto manufacturer right now, making up more then 11 percent of the entire market share. eat it.

  • and who owns the fastest production car in the world??? VW owns the Bugatti Veyron. and not to mention lambo, audi, bently, seat, and skoda

  • Yeah and VW is at the bottom of the spectrum right next to seat....Buggatti owns the Veyron. If it had a VW sign people would throw shit at it and call it gay....Vw is just part of this German/Italian company collaboration VW doesnt own all of it you fucking moron

  • and ofcourse every once in a while youtube will get a dbag like you that thinks he knows everything about cars... but please dont come at me about vw. thats one thing i specialize in. vw isnt at the bottom on the "spectrum" technically its at the top because it owns all the other cars. retards like you only think that because ofcourse bently lambo and buggati are obviously faster than vw. but vw bought these companies to keep them in business. so if it wasnt for vw... whats a bently?

  • they didn't buy to keep in business....

  • Too bad you bought the wrong year subaru and cant admit that its ugly as fuck and overweight and spongy...... :.(

  • yea htey kinda messed up the 08 wrx, but the little tweaks in the 09 brought the car back, and if u remember when the wrx first came people felt the same way about it. it grows on u

  • rated at 265 actually have around 230

  • The 09' WRX is actually quicker than the STi (07 and under models) and it's rated at 265 at the crank with a new transmission from the LGT. The year before that, the 08' WRX was rated at 224.

    Hope this clears a few things up for people.

  • Volkswagen is the most sold car IN THE WORLD. Europeans fucking love them, theyre fast, good on gas, and have this aura of coolness some ppl will never get.. got to a honda carshow and then go to a VW car show and you'll see a huge difference..

  • @vR6sLaYa hes right dumbass, VW owns Audi, Skoda, Lamborghini, Porsche and most of Chrysler now. VW are quality cars, even the entry levels beat other cars in the same price range when it comes to interior, quality and bang for buck.

  • @shenk064 yea man no one builds better cars then the Germans, the Japs make descent cars but their just ugly, and the Americans just copy the EU cars

  • he lost because of that 120lbs passenger hahahaaha

  • That GTi couldnt have been stock. What does the 08 Subaru Impreza wrx have? Oh thats right 265whp!!! there is either a major problem with your car or he has mods he is lieng to you about. A stock 1.8t GTI MK3 has like what 200whp?! That 1.8T is undoubtably chipped.

  • I ran a 1/4 and got 15.3 @ 89 mph with no mods. My boost that i get from my New south gauge is about 9-10 steady, with spikes at 11-12 psi. And thats with a CAI and a TIP as well (installed after this video was taken). This is to the absolute best of my knowledge. we went back a few weeks later and the WRX beat my car. I think it was just beacause we were out driving all day that his TOP mount intercooler was so warm from heatsoak. thats the only explanation i can offer you is to how i beat him.

  • You should get a 14 point something out of an 08 pretty comfortably, maybe you cant drive good?

  • the 08's dont have 265 whp.....they dont even come with that at crank.

  • Its still alot less attractive and weighs 500lbs more....If STis keep looking like that....Im buying an EVO

  • u got it wrong...the evo is like 500 lbs more, the wrx is only about 60-80 lbs more. weighs in at 3150 as apposed to the old one of 3080

  • ok i know you got that wrong a wrx is lighter then an sti thats why the 09 wrx beats the sti by .01 on a 1/4 mile it even says on car and driver

  • i didn't say it was heavier then the sti....

  • my bad its just what i understood

  • God....I wish my GTI weighed less than that :\

    3800 curb(i assume your using curb weight correct?)

  • Gti- 3200

    Wrx- 3200

    Sti- 3350

    Evo x- 3600

    all rough estimates

  • the GTI weighs in at 2900 and some change. It just depends on whats in your car but yeah thats a better approx. of the GTI's weight.
