    The Porsche is racing, the Subaru is not. Track days at the ring explicitly say that you are NOT TO RACE and if someone is quicker than you then you MUST pull to the right and let them pass. Just another Porsche owner whose car far outweighs their ability. Go down at the weekends, you will find a car park full of GT3's that dont get driven properly.

    • @eRxi98
      @eRxi98 9 лет назад +13

      Boxer vs. flat. Porsche is not a boxer engine due to different components, alignments, and piston setups.

      WTF are u posting mate?!_ For sure almost every 9XX+Boxter+Cayman series have an H6 engine and as a matter of fact we call it a boxer engine_H4 and H6 for Su and H6 for Porky (present engine models)
      I don't want to imagine discussing about shock diamonds on full afterburner exhaust nozzle plume

    • @eRxi98
      @eRxi98 9 лет назад +2

      +ej20daZe if you would like to research, the Subaru H4 and the Porsche H6 are not alike. Their firing order is different and how horizontal the engine is placed; which makes it flat vs. boxer.

    • @ej20daZe
      @ej20daZe 9 лет назад +3

      +RiceCake
      I know firing order is not the same, because in H4 Su the pistons into opposite cylinders the reach e.g. the TDC together, if you're point was that, to indicate the differences of flats ("V"180deg) to true opposite movement (i assume meant as boxer's), i am wrong%

    It's always been a dream of mine to lap Nordschleife. I know the track very well for someone that has never been there. Throughout all the racing sims I've played on console it is my favorite and it's the main track I tune my cars on when I'm playing forza 6. (I know 7 has been out but I prefer 6) I've driven it for hours trying to best my time in rival mode. I had no idea the traffic was this insane though. I see less driving to work in Hawaii and we have amazingly awful traffic.

  • @ej20daZe
    @ej20daZe 9 лет назад +6

    according to the dash (if it's the vehicle's original one>>yellow needled - speedometer in the center) that's a bugeye wrx (GDA-A or GDA-B??), not an original STi. Well done for the chassis and engine improvements-mods_
    thank you for sharing ur video_

    • @mire101
      @mire101 6 лет назад +6

      Aaendewy8D GT3RS can destroy a sti easily... the only difference is the driver ! And this is a really great driver with the sub !

    • @SqubaSquid
      @SqubaSquid 6 лет назад +8

      Also to be fair, this sti at the time of recording was easily more than 15k stock. Add in the mods and it's cost is even higher. Still not near the stock price of that Porsche though. Stock v. Stock with the same driver and no traffic the Porsche would obviously win. That being said, I drive an STI and absolutely love Subies but I do also like Porsches. Anyways, great driving by the STI!

    @1258-Eckhart 11 лет назад

    what a brilliant ride - thanks. Actually morally you beat the guy in the Porsche because A. you caught up and B. he couldn't get away. It was just fluke you couldn't get past. Also what a fine piece of machinery that Subaru is. Half the price of a GT3 and even if the GT3 was properly driven (which this one wasn't) not much to spare.
    @PaulH - Subarus owe all their development to Europe, mostly Britain (with Finnish driver-input). Japanese precision, European know-how. Symbiosis.

  • @datedraq

    @CharmytheBear 12 лет назад

    First of all nice driving. But give the Swiss driver a bonus, they re just alllowed to drive 120 km/h in Switzerland and have no racetracks. And by the way he didn't want you to overtake him, cannot blame him :D Still tough you got a weight advantage and as you mentioned a track prepped car (stiffer etc. prob. slick tyres) And you need to be a damn good driver to drive a 911 around there fast, then you are much faster than everybody else ;)

  • @ftw1540
    @ftw1540 8 лет назад +1

    he didnt need to move, the Scooby just didn't quite have enough power to decisively overtake him, Porsche driver did block a little, but had the power to deny the 'ru

    • @bridgecrafteng

      If you've ever driven the Ring, you'd know that if a faster car (on a lap) catches you up, you let it past.

  • @CharmytheBear
    @CharmytheBear 12 лет назад

    In fact, I have. And the Subaru forgives mistakes, but the 911 just tries to kill you, as Jeremy Clarkson would say ;) especially on in-turns and sloping corners, of which the ring has a lot

  • @DarthSmokealot

    Lered Lemos , if you think he couldnt pass the porsche , watch it again , with some volume , listen to how much the subaru is having to get off the power , granted the porsche driver has some balls as they most likely had no roll cage or crash helmet, but still, i would be interested in seeing a lap minus a porsche.
    and if people want to try an say about cars and racing as penis extension competitions , the one driving the porsche has already made their statement .....

    I then waisted 4 sets of bolts down for each strutt varying amounts which means I can adjust the camber between 2 and 5 degrees just by swapping the top bolt simalar to the way its was done on mk1 Clio cup cars.
    I also did this on the rear as well.
    Camber is around -4 front and -3 rear.
    Front spring rates are 550 and rears are around 450.
    Sorry cant remeber what size arbs I'm running but i'l measure and let you know.
    Hope this helps.

      You shouldn't assume who the driver is. Not every Porsche owner is a spoiled 18yo with rich parents. In fact this is almost non existent. What rich kids usually get are Stis, Evos, and 370z and always end up crashing it, hence the high insurance rate for those ages and those cars. ^^

    Oh, right ok.
    I moved the wishbones forward by taking about 10mm off the front of the wishbone and threading the bush bore.I then made a top hat bush which housed a spherical bearing that screwed into the new thread I'd just put in the wishbone. This allowed me to move the wishbone forward 20mm after I'd made spacers to run with the spherical bearings.
    I then junked my top mounts and and made some simple ones that moved the strutt as far back as the inner wing strutt apature would allow.

    well its actually a 997 gt3. You can tell by the tail lights, rear bumper, wing and center exhaust. But you are right, on the straights he was definitely pulling away and could not be passed. to the OP: Just because you were on his tail at moments didnt mean you could pass him. granted the gt3 did dog some of those corners but I dont under any circumstances think that you can call that car a piece of shit. especially considering its probably faster then your car just with a mediocre driver.

    While ever you put a heavy engine in back of the car over the wheels you're going to have a tail happy car, front engine and rwd cars and 4wd has to be the way to go, bmw M3 , Audi RS4 , Nissan GTR ,

    • @metalicsupra
      @metalicsupra 10 лет назад +4

      Not if you know how to drive a rear engine car, it becomes an advantage. The weight of the rear engine lets you get on the gas earlier when exiting corners. Its no coincidence that Porsche is one of the main competitors in the race to set the fastest time on the Ring. Nor is it a coincidence that it is highly praised by race instructors and enthusiasts.

    • @alleywatson
      @alleywatson 9 лет назад

      Yes you are right, it takes a lot of skill to drive a car like the 911 to it's limit, i can think of one person at this time (Walter Rohle)
      To my knowledge of the Ring and records Porsche have just got a time in the top ten fastest times using the 911, (7.18) way behind the Radical's time of 6:48 so if they do manage to get in the top 5 it will be a big coincidence.
      You should check your records before you type, sir.

    • @metalicsupra
      @metalicsupra 9 лет назад

      The fact that you just used the radicals ring time to make a point says a lot about you and what you know. Toodles!

    • @alleywatson
      @alleywatson 9 лет назад

      Why can't I use the Radicals time as a point ? It also beat the Nissan GTR which was also faster than the Porsche 911, it also beat the Gumbert Apollo and the Lexus LFA by the way, none of which have an engine in the back. So do you see a trend here ? The fastest cars DON'T have a heavy engine at the back. Ok. I haven't just talked about the fantastic Radical I've also compared the other competition is that ok ?
      It's the fastest time and a lot faster than the 911 so what. ! You are able to look on many sites explaining the times
      You wrote a frankly ridiculous point with NO evidence to support your point. I checked several ring record sites and NONE of them had a Porsche 911 time in the top 7 and the best was what I posted before. So it would seem you know less than I do.

      The Radical isnt even on anyones radar, nobody cares to beat the radical because it isn't a realistic car unless all you want is a car that can be driven on the few roads that are buttery smooth and it happens to be a sunny day with not a cloud in the sky.
      When comparing laptimes to make a point is your goal you should take into consideration who porsche was looking to even compete with. Nissan, definitely, the radical, why the fuck? Its not worth the investments on porsches end nor is it a realistic goal to set for a 911 or any fully equipped car for that matter, at least not yet.
      Porsche mainly competes with Chevy, Nissan and Ferrari because they are the ones usually in a similar price range or if that isnt the case, many times those are the cars people with money will consider over a porsche. So if you look at cars that are in the same class as a 911 gt3 rs, turbo, Carrera, cayman you will start to see that each within their own class are strong competitors.
      I dont think i made a riculous point and i dont think it needed evidence. If you actually set foot on a track with a mix of cars and talked to some people that have first hand experience in several cars (track instructors) you'd quickly realize that porsche is infact one hell of a car that can put the pressure on many others.
      Something you probably also managed to overlook while blinded by the rage "my ridiculous point" instilled is the fact that the ring is very long and a 10 second or even 20 second difference in time is only a second in a world where a track is usually 1-2min per lap. Time scales with distane, did you know? Also, people who are serious about buying and using them on track dont go running and searching for the RING lap times! They read reviews, compare opinions and check what kind of times they set on their local track.
      Now i gotta get back to my lab report cause that actually carries weight in my life, you on the other hand....keep making your cute and "mildly biased" video edits lol
