Subaru BRZ vs Ford Mustang! - Head 2 Head Episode 7

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Angus MacKenzie pits the 2013 Subaru BRZ against its American rival - the 2013 Ford Mustang V6. After carving up canyon roads in both cars, Angus hands the keys over to pro race driver Randy Pobst for limit testing and hot laps around Streets of Willow racetrack. Find out which front engine, rear-wheel drive coupe reigns supreme!

CORRECTION - On the spec chart, the BRZ engine should be listed as simply a Flat-4. It is definitely not turbocharged!

who buys a mustang V6, besides a college girl?

[jav hy]

OMG, you should just stop talking about cars. The BRZ has a flat 4 non-turbo 200 hp. Also, Subaru is Japanese, not Italian. Also, Ford was rated one of the worst in reliability by Consumer Reports. Everything you said was so wrong, not even funny.

[ninjafatballz]

there is a HELL of alot of race series with GT classes that american cars beat all the others.. you are delusional... look up the ALMS or American Le Mans Series for starters.... then look up Grand Am Rolex series, and so on and so on

[ninjafatballz]

are you kidding me? Corvettes dominate GT classes lmao.... damn they won Lemans 6 out of 7 years not so long ago ... dumbass you dont know shit.

Randy messed up with the BRZ shouldve stayed at 2nd gear but went with 3rd with those turns as he did with the mustang since brz has a close ratio gearbox he shouldve gotten faster apex speed at the powerband

I was talking strictley stock.

[KeeperofPeace2011]

I would get a Ford Mustang GT 500

[Jenkin Chu]

Well if you think you fking Americans are so tough how come you guys cant win shit when it comes to GT class races, le mans or rally? Because bigger engine doesnt mean better car you dumb fk. Get that through you thick drunken murican skull. So you can kiss the Japanese and German ass

Replace the tires and wheels on the BRZ and it will eat the mustang alive on the track.

It is not a v4 and it certainly isn't turbocharged. It is naturally aspirated and is a flat 4 horizontally opposed boxer engine that makes 200 HP and 153 ft/lbs of torque...not 151 HP. Some people should not have keys on their viewing equipment.

Stop talking, you know nothing about cars as seen in the top comments. You thought Subaru was Italian LMFAO!

[neat4lyfe1982]

The V6 is better because it is more fuel efficient and it is turbocharged.
