We Drove Subarus from 300 HP to 700 HORSEPOWER

👏 Thanks to the owners who brought along their cars! 👏 Check them out on Instagram! 📸

🏁 THIS IS A 300-horsepower Subaru Impreza, and THIS is a 715-horsepower Impreza. We’re driving both of these cars and EVERYTHING in between.

This is a stock, 300 horsepower Subaru Impreza - and THIS is a SEVEN HUNDRED horsepower Subaru. And we’re going to drive to drive everything in between - before giving them to our Pro Driver to see which is ACTUALLY fastest!

Up first is the first generation - and for us, to be able to drive such an iconic car, was pretty special.

Had a great day out guys, thanks for the invite. Glad you liked the car. Just one correction though, my car is 583bhp, the voiceover after said 523 😊.

I love when Scott grins like a child riding their first rollercoaster lol

Thanks for having my GC8 Type RA out for a fantastic day guys! Awesome to see such different Impreza's together, also a massive thanks for treating the cars with respect but still getting the most out of them. Looking forward to the next one! 💪

The RA designation stands for "Record Attempt" and has been applied to various Subaru performance models. The original venture took place in 1989 when a competition version Subaru Legacy broke the FIA World Speed Endurance Record by clocking over 62, 000 miles in 18 days and set a top speed record of 138 mph.

The original STI Ra's are such an icon. I remember my old man saying back in the day when he was selling these, the RA's used to roll off the lot cheaper than the standard STI's due to their lack of features. Fast forward 20 years, the RA's surpassed the price of standard STI's by a mile.

Donut media watching this and realizing none of these engines exploded 😵

Here in the US ever since 2002 and I went for a ride in and drove my first boosted Subaru I’ve been in love with them. I was a sophomore in high school than and my buddy Drew had boosted his tiny 2 door Impreza L. Our senior year he had picked up a 2.5RS and put a JDM EJ22 into it along with a ton of legitimate and replica 22B components and parts. At ECS in Windsor Locks, CT it made 390 AWHP and he ran that car hard for over a decade with no head gasket issues and no glass 2nd gear problems. At 35 I finally decided I was going to build my own. I found a 2.5RS with high mileage, bone stock for $4500 and grabbed it for $3000. I had about a half dozen car friends who work in various sectors in the car industry help me with my build over the next 2 years or so. Everything from the frame to the interior was gutted and restored/modified to my dream car vision. At the end of the day it’s an amazing daily driver, in world rally blue with a carbon fiber trunk, hood and mirrors, RPF-1’s, a fully built EJ22 from Japan built and tuned by ECS and the Shop CT. On low boost it makes 348 AWHP and 415 on high boost all on pump fuel. The Tein suspension setup with anti roll bars and coilovers had a complete suspension geometry tune by my buddy Eric who works for Porsche and the mandatory 4 piston Brembo’s stop beautifully. I get that there’s WAYYY faster and better cars out there but this was my dream car and after wanting one for over 20 years I still get that “holy crap this is mine” feeling when I see it in my driveway or start it up before a cruise.

seeing the yellow subaru made me realize i miss car build videos from you guys. i know it's a lot of work though

A stock Impreza is the funnest thing to drive ever. It’s incredibly easy to drive fast and beyond the limits, so so so easy to go sideways in. Subaru is the reason I did so well in rally, if I had anything else I wouldn’t have been able to drive so fast, Subarus as so easy to go sideways in!

[brunoseabra]

Great video! Just one complaint for the editor, the volume balance could be better. When they are talking about the cars and discussing the lap its very quiet, but when the lap starts even the volume of the "3 2 1 GO!" was really high in comparison.

[kilianortmann]

That wet track was perfect to show us what the Impreza is all about. I think dry conditions would have made for better lap times but a less meaningful comparison.

As an owner of a 2004 WRX wagon for almost a decade. I love seeing the positive Subaru content showing how awesome these cars can be. I did a JDM STI EJ207 ver7 swap with FP 68HTA (TD05) turbo, 1000cc injectors, 255 walboro pump, catless uppipe/downpipe, intake, big Perrin TMIC, paired with some sway bar/endlinks, and coilovers. The car made 310awhp 272tq with 91 octane fuel, 16 PSI of boost (stock boost controller), and revs all the way out to 8250RPM (thanks to AVCS "subaru VTEC"). Cars an absolute blast with more potential to make it faster. These cars can be incredible cars as long as they're not neglected. As always these videos always put a huge smile on my face, keep up the killer work guys!

[wrkp]

Yeaaaah, I was waiting for it, now we need a video with all the WRX generations!

[scott]

Honestly i would watch happily a longer video with you guys at the end driving the cars you didn't get to in the main video! especially Will in the first Impreza! loving seeing the joy you guys get out of these cars or the silly antics you get up to in the videos, keep smashing it guys!!

12:34 Will being speechless while Callum screams like a little girl is the highlight of my week.

I had the same 2005 subie wagon. Unmodded. Ran like clockwork for 8 years (besides obligatory head gasket replacement). Thing went through 10 inches of snow in a blizzard for 4 hours like a damn snowmobile. With all-weather tires. I drove it until the exhaust fell out due to rust. It would have cost 6 grand to get back to street legal. I sold it for 3 grand. The guy who bought it heard how smooth the engine ran, looked at me and said, "What on earth did you do to get it to run that smooth?" He didn't believe me when I said the only thing you need to do is change the oil to a quality synthetic and change it every 3k miles. Do those two things and it runs buttery smooth. No matter how hard I pushed that car, it never even came close to overheating. Thing was a beast. Whilst I miss the subie rumble and the AWD in the snow, I absolutely adore the '22 veloster N dct I bought to replace it. I, like many others, though I would hate FWD. It does not take away from the fun in any way. The FWD system is DAMN GOOD. It is insanely planted with no torque steer and it has ridiculous levels of grip. The N is an incredible machine. The reason I picked it is because it has the same 'hooligan/goon' personality as the 07 STI, but it is sharper and faster than an sti. The N-grin-shift button is WILD. It doesn't jump up the power too much, but it does make the transmission go APE with high revs and shifting so hard it shoves you back in the seat. The goon spirit of the original STI lives on.

I've always had a soft spot for Subaru's 😍 great video lads! Will there be a next upgrade series like the Bananaru? That was AMAZING!

[alecmillea]

Love this content! I especially appreciate it when the results aren’t what you might expect. Numbers never tell the whole story! Useable, controllable power beats peak power, great to see that in practice!

0:41 God that's such a good noise. Full bodied and angry. Love it
