Subaru Impreza WRX: Will it Rally?

- Will It Rally? This new web series from The Team O'Neil Rally School asks the only car question that really matters: Will it Rally? Ride along as we test the limits of different vehicles on our snow and ice covered skidpad and slalom areas, before putting them against the stopwatch on a mountainous rally stage here at Team O'Neil.
In the final episode of this season, we take out a tried and true Subaru Impreza WRX here at the Rally School for an in-depth review on our rally course. The goal of this episode was to set a time with a proper school car in order to give the rest of the cars from this season a frame of reference. We hope you enjoyed the first season of Will It Rally and hopefully will get around to making season 2 next winter!

If the wrx can't do a rally, I don't know what car can...🤔 Lol.
Someone is eventually going to come by to bust your balls to say something like "An Evo ...", Lol.
well.. a group a wrx.
Evos.
@@DeViceCrimsin_ Lol.
A Golf MK2! :)
Let's make this TOP COMMENT
*The Mini did **2:39**.59*
*The Astro van did **2:45**.44*
*The Explorer did **2:43**.47*
*The Corolla did a **2:36**.87*
*The Hilux did **2:44**.47*
*This WRX did a **2:14**.38*
Wait a second, they put a leaderboard towards the end!! My job here is done, it was an honor to serve you all for a few weeks.
Thank you for your service, Sir
This is the type of service every one expects, nice job
*when a corolla is the second best*
@@PikaTwoB thats why i love my rolla lol
Hey man, you there??
Finally, we have a leaderboard.
Is water and oxygen the root of all life?
Is mitochondria the powerhouse of the cell?
Will a wrx rally?
Do a Tesla or a Prius next season
vote for this!
The Prius is the major Uber/Lyft car here in Minnesota. It is very heavy with narrow tires it will cut thru the snow. Just use taller tires. Ground clearance is a problem in snow.
I don't think they'll be doing a Tesla any time soon. Too expensive, and unlikely to even finish the stage without a mechanical failure.
that could be expensive lol
My 06 pruis has the worst traction control of any car ever. It cant be turned off and it doesnt let you accelerate in rain. Idk what toyota was thinking
Don't even have to watch the video to know the answer 🤣
0:33
answer is no, itll just get rekt by an evo. every time.
@@sulferix7265 but the wrx is about a quarter of the price 😂
You're That Ninja
Yeah, obviously it can’t rally 😆
@Blik Brik id love to prove you wrong, because the evo is on a whole nother level. u aint got nothin on me mr. blown head gasket
Do a Miata next year! And a fox body Mustang! And an original mini! And a Veyron! And a..
a Mclaren Senna!
Lincoln Town car
Use the Lancer Evolution for the rally car, or maybe a 959.
@@BurntMushroom I'd love to see a 959, but nobody in their right mind will let their $2 million get rallied. Too bad.
@@matthewmillar3804 just find someone who isn't in their right mind like dde
Thanks for NOT drowning out the audio with EDM, dubstep, and some best friend's shitty garage rock band. Thanks also for NOT repeatedly stopping the video with a 154 slow-mo shots from 132 angles with bokeh pan left pan right pan up pan down bokeh. A few is great, but thanks for not going overboard. Thanks for caring more about your language being clear and less about your language being cool. This is one of the best, if not the best, car channels on RUclips.
I would love to see a 2017 WRX. It would be interesting to see how open differentials and the stiffer suspension would handle.
I mean I don't rally my 2018 wrx but I do live in northern Canada where I have plenty of roads to fool around on and I think even without the DCCD like the STI has that the VA wrx is a great successor to recent cars and even closes the gap to performance with the ej block wrx sti
I think one of the most important things I wanted to mention is tires. Like why would you compare sports sedan with rally tires to a 3-ton automatic van on all-seasons? Maybe a tire sponsor of some sorts would help? I mean similarity to grip would make test way more accurate.
Gedas Alekveravičius or put them all in a similar set of tires at least. But i sort of get the overall point that tires are technically inherited in the overall setup of the car itself so its fair if you look at it that way but its unfair if you look at it if you want to compare ONLY the car like the chassis, engine and suspension while it has the same if not similar spec tires to the other cars. Its only an objective test for the cars setup out of the box not necessarily maximising the potential of each car
This. Either put all the cars on garbage rubber or put proper rally tires on them.
I know this is a bit old so not expecting a response or anything, but for anyone else seeing this I figured id mention something. Out of the vehicles the WRX (obviously on good snow rubber) was compared to, here are their tires:
- Corolla on snow tires
- Mini on snow tires
- Explorer on Mastercraft Courser MSR (light truck snow tires)
- Hilux on some sort of all-terrain/winter tires --?
- Astro van on BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (all terrain tire with above-average snow capability, definitely not your everyday all-seasons lol)
Why to wait for another winter? Maybe "will it rally" on the gravel?
times would all be way off. ideally you do all of it in one day and grade the road inbetween so there is no ruts for the next car so it is more or less the same condition.
I think gravel would be very different for many reasons. More consistent day to day, as ice vs snow vs dry patches (I guess as long as it isn't rainy on the gravel), and also higher grip meaning more of a test to suspension and body control. It would also be harder to drive each vehicle to the limit, as opposed to on snow where the limit is lower and easier to get to.
Since they started on snow, better continue on it, unless they're ready to do a lot on gravel which would make it worth it.
For next season you should have a Miata, a Honda Fit, and a hummer
Oh yes, an MX-5 trying to rally? Absolutely worth it!
Prius
a fucking miata
>miata
At last we see a leaderboard! Nice) Will it rally series is really cool, I'd like to see season 2. But with a leaderboard at each video)
+
Fun stuff. I'd like to see a Crown Vic PI in there some time. I think that would be a fun test.
Team O'Neil's school is a magical place where it can still snow in July. lol
For real though, if you guys can, rally a Nissan Juke. I remember seeing someone entering a stage rally in one and getting good results in it.
The quick blue Subaru rallied over the lazy snow.
You guys should do a Legacy 3.6r or Legacy GT, I've always wanted to see how the newer ones would rally
Nice episode, love subarus. Cant wait for season 2!
ONE of the best RUclips channel's.
You want us to wait until next year? C’mon now
Definitely the best edited video this far in the series. It is a lot of fun to go round the circuit with the driver the entire time. The last videos had some music that broke this up. Also the leader board is very nice to see. Good work and a fun series!
I Love the way you wrapped it up! Fun drive to watch, and I'm glad you had a rally baseline to compare all the track times to. Can't wait till next January!
Of course a WRX can rally
It’s a Subaru!
I've been waiting for the Subaru in the Will It Rally series lol
What a surprise! I could not believe that but fortunately here is the proof.
Best car RUclips channel
That was satisfying to watch and hear. Love Subaru rumble
Looking forward to season 2. Would like to see a Miata, Prius, BMW E30 or E36, old school muscle car, full size pickup, or something wacky like a Uhaul truck!
Really loved the new series, folks! Thanks for all the time and effort put into it!
Nice to see a wrx back at it's roots!
this channel is so underated
Thanks for putting the leaderboard up on this time.
Can we see an F90 M5 next season? For the businessman who has to rally before the meeting.
Lol XD
The sound of that engine gives me chills.
BMW E34 , love the series btw
Lol, Wrx ... On that note lap a normal Impreza Forester and Outback for reference please.
More, please.
A panther platform car might be interesting next season.
I miss my GC8 now I roll Uber/Lyft in Winter Minnesota in 2007 Highlander!!!!! You should "Will it Rally" a 06-07 Highlander. I made good money ($1500 a week) during snow storms. I had to switch tires to all weather 215/65R16 from a 225/70R16 to cut thru the snow...but it rallied! The 17" rim is meh..I see a lot of those at the junkyards.
That looked fun as hell! Its cool to finally see the official leaderboard.
WRX?
YES.
Loved the series.
The 2.5L RS model would have been more interesting to question rather than the WRX, but I understand that it's the model you had available which is still cool.
GC8 1997-2002 2.5RS would work as well :)
I can't believe this thing can rally
love this episodes!
looking forward to next season !! hope can watch it sooner.
surprise to see that the front wheel drive, everyday ordinary corolla top the board.
reminds us that we no need to have a great car to have fun
Another time of asking will it rally?
Ford model T
And thanks for testing my dream car but it’s a 2007
Lmaooo a model T that would be funny
Great series guys I hope you do make a 2nd season and may I suggest you rally a mk1 VW rabbit in the next season :)
We need more next Winter!
Interesting! One thing I'd love to have added would be the tires used
Y'all should definitely test an AWD V6 Rav4 next season, aside from being a bit top heavy, I feel like it's pretty much a rally car already
Very good video, nice to see a cheapo corolla doing well. For next season please get a 037 or Delta S4
Yes! Rally all of them! Would love to see what a limited slip fwd would do! Civic si?!?
Awesome series. Thank you !
yea! finally a leaderboard! far away from the other cars, nice for the corolla second place !
Love the series
I can't believe this thing can rally!
Next season of "Will it rally" i would like to see a Dacia Sandero '08-'12 1.4 mpi :P ha ha ha
lol i knew it was going this way... "Will It Rally?: Subaru WRX" Wyatt just wants to have fun :P howabout putting a guest in the passenger seat each episode :)
Evo: hmm, that is a good question
Intro music volume a bit loud? Maybe note what tires you are running if not stock. I know you mentioned on some videos but not all, unless I missed it. I know my old Imprezas and forester were garbage in the snow with summer tires but completely transformed with winter tires.
I just discovered your channel and subbed straight away. Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume the helmet is purely for the scaffolding (cage) and nothing more.
Stock? Sounds like there's a BOV and modified exhaust, which I would guess means it has a modified intake too. Probably not a factory ECU tune either. And the aftermarket triple gauge cluster makes me wonder too... I don't consider that stock but ok
Alex Ryan Thats what I was thinking when he said stock lmao. It sounds identical to my buddies 07 stage 2 wrx with an turboback invida exhaust. Only thing the one in the video doesn’t have is the Cobb and I’ll willing to bet that’s because whoever they get it from took it out when they sold it to team o'neil
Asking whether a wrx can rally is like asking if a ball can roll.
Please do as Prius Will it Rally so my Uber driver wont cancel my trip when it snows
We NEED A '00-'04 LEGACY base model
I'd prefer second gen... 1995ish
nah, we NEED a gen 4 legacy run. best one by far before they got pig fat.
Ohh god yes
2002 Legacy B4, for science
3rd and 4th gen already getting on the fat side. 3400-3600lbs for both, depending on trim and body style. A base, manual, 3rd gen legacy sedan will get you under 3400lbs, but still about 150-200lbs more than a similar age wrx.
Before I watch this, I have played enough Gran Turismo to tell you upfront that YES. the subaru WRX WILL rally.
Wyatt: Welcom to the season finale-
Me: Wyatt wut?!
count me in for Season Two!!
Love the astro van! But I feel the 3bigger cars atlest the Ford and chevy had been better with some better tires
a dream of mine is to one day be able to attend your school up in NH.. I have cousins living close by I can stay with.. one day...
I did their 5 day course a few years ago. Def a great experience, even if you're not planning to take up rallying as a serious hobby/profession. The unlimited redbulls were also a good idea lol.
I didn't realise the Corolla is second fastest out of all the vehicles until I saw the leaderboard, it even beat the Mini and that car has AWD and it's turbocharged.
I think it's FWD + low profile weight distribution put it in front... power doesn't mean as much as keeping speed thru corners here, and he could do more aggressive pendulum turns on the FWD.
@@chriswho12345 Put some nice tires on the Corolla and I think it would do quite well actually.
The Corolla is lighter weight and we disabled the ABS... Fun fact: every fuse you pull in the Mini that kills the ABS also kills your AWD.
@@Teamoneilrally Wow, seriously? I guess I shouldn't be too surprised that the Mini has such finicky electronics since it's actually a German car in disguise.
I wanna see you guys do an episode of this will it rally with a Crosstrek.
Of course it will rally! these were made for that!
You _could_ have a 'will it rally dirt and gravel' version.. An idea.
agree
I would love to see this in a newer regular old impreza
Well duuh, ofc it will rally
It says World Rally eXperimental. So go figure?
Trevon Prabhat i dont know, im still apprehensive of its rallying potential 🤔
@@GTChucker86 it's because of all the vaping dudebro subaru owners hard parking them, people have begun to question it's abilities to rally.
You guys should try an outback and see how it compares
Do a p45 next, that should be interesting
You can really hear that mid 2000s build quality *plastic trim pieces going ballistic
This is my life.
Will a World Rally Experimental rally? Will a movie theater show movies? I guess we’ll find out
For next series, I'd love too see the BMW's have a go. Specifically, I'd love to see how the E30 compares to the E36 and E46. I'd also love to see a Crown Victoria have a go , as well as a Prius for a laugh.
You guys should do a VW Tiguan or an Audi A3/S3, I always wanted to see them being push to the limit on snow.
When you ask if a legendary rally car will rally...
MORE OF THESE VIDEOS PLS!!!
What tires are on the WRX for the test?
would love to see a 3000gt, focus rs,and a celica gt4 lol
yes
Yes it will
Do a 2015-2020 stock wrx next season, I know it will rally I just want to see how it does it
Id like to see the prepped and stock fiestas run the course
Awwww the RRRRruummmblle. So sweet!
Good exhaust sound
what a surprise it can
But will it rally while you're vaping inside?
If you get a juul and hold it in your mouth it will. Gotta keep both hands on the wheel.
Do a mini cooper next. Thank you
Try a 6 spd w8(if u can find one lol) on will it rally, Would probably be decent with better tires and a lift.
Will it rally , Dodge Demon!!
Didn’t use the ebrake on those hair pins at all lol time to mod it
Why do you think the FWD Carolla did better than the AWD Mini Cooper?
Weight. The mini may not look like it, but it's prob a good 500lbs heavier than the corolla (3300lb vs 2800lb give it take). The corolla may be down slightly on power, but in a traction- limited seeing like this, the mini's awd may not be enough to offset the weight penalty.
Potentially tires? I can't remember what tires the Mini had
I want to see a Rallye Golf, please.
Me going into the video: I have the feeling the WRX will do fine.
Also: no need to clickbait me, I'd watch a WRX go slidy slidy any day. :D
Please make more will it rally videos
