$15,000 Car vs $60,000 Car [Loser wins $5,000 CASH]

how much better a sixty thousand dollar car is compared to a fifteen thousand dollar one today we are going to find out in battle challenging this subaru brz versus this jdm icon a two door subaru sti both are blue both have two doors Both are made in Japan . Both are overrated. They are both underrated, but there can only be one winner and that winner is the

loser

, who will win five grand in

cash

to make his car as fast as it needs to be. That's how it is. The

loser

gets the money because he is the one who needs it the most, but we will not only do that, we will also donate a thousand dollars to reach Australia, which supports the mental health of the young people and their families who are going to lose. who is going to win today we find out and find out this is people subaru expensive subaru cheap let's enter the battle subaru impreza wrx stis needs no introduction they are one of the most popular performance cars ever made subaru created this one with two fewer doors and one was sold Limited quantity in Australia making them rare and now worth a lot more money even though they are basically the same as anything else from the era, although the market fluctuates it is almost impossible to find one for less than $60k right now . and some go for double that, an incredible figure for a 20-year-old mass-produced car.

If you like Subaru, a Tudor STI is right up there with one of the best cars to own right now, a 22b is the rarest of the rare that costs hundreds. of thousands of dollars, the best option is this, which is a two-door sti, it was manufactured in late 1998, uh, it is the typical rally blue. I made a couple of modifications to it, put new wheels on it. I have michelin tires, I have power sport fours, I have brembo brakes, a six speed conversion from a later sti, a dc dc controller, white line sway bars and any lift kit so it's pretty much set up to do this now. power puts out 180 kilowatts at the wheels revs to 8200 rpm that's factory and should be a good contender on the track last time it was a little slow didn't have good grip tires weren't great modified everything for Intento make a better time today without really increasing the power, so it will be very interesting to see how this goes on the track.

Sharing the same Subaru badge, it is one of the most successful budget sports cars since the MX-5 and BRZ. What is missing. In power it makes up for it with modern agility and affordability and you can buy one of these for as little as 15 grand. Unlike the all-wheel drive turbo, the BRZ sends its power to the rear wheels with a naturally aspirated 2-liter engine. up front and mine has some basic mods, we have some lowered springs, we have a high performance engine, rear exhaust with unequal length headers, it has a pvs custom fit, I run michelin pilot sport 4 tires, this is basically the same width As you can go on with this setup, when we're doing the wheel alignment, we couldn't even get more camber because we're going to hit the struts, this car puts out about 133 kilowatts at the wheels compared to the jdm sti. which does um 180 or so, but this car has much newer technology, it won't be a race where we are side by side and go from start to finish, the lap time will be looked at, so I hope we get to Let's make a play on the court, but let's compare times.

Whoever has the most time

wins

the money, uses that money to upgrade their car, and then goes back and beats up the other person. Martin, let's jump in our cars and go, buddy. It's time to fight with our pips, so we are lined up, we are about to leave for our session, in front of me is the sti and I am very excited to see how these cars are going, how the times are going, as I mentioned before. Since I was here last time I have unequal length heads, now I have a tune and I have the sway bars and well the scissors had a lot of work.

I must need all that plus a gearbox and there is no extra power. So I come here with exactly the same power as I had last time, maybe with slightly varied gear ratios, but that won't make a big difference on this track because it's a very high speed, so I'll spend most of the time on third quarter. and fifth, uh, but I'm very, yeah, I'm excited to see how much of a difference it makes. I have very good tires this time. I have new wheels. I have great Brembo brakes. um, all those modifications. I want to do something that's like a weekend track car, so we're about to head out, we're just waiting for the session to finish before it gets pretty busy, so we'll see how we go with the traffic, but if we get a A couple of solid timespans that will tell us everything we need to know, but how much faster each of the cars is, so I hope they're both faster, that's what I want to see now, although the cars are quite different, we've Tried to do some things. the same thing so both cars are running uh michelin michelin pilot sport fours tires and the same person has had the wheels aligned and set up for the track at the same time so you should try to even out some of those differences because those aspects of the ties and The setup plays a huge role in how well the car goes, the most important part is obviously the driver, but we're pretty similar in that category, so, yeah, I'm looking forward to getting out there, here we go, let's get into the lap. warm-up and then.

We'll have some hot laps hopefully quite a few hot laps well I'm flying the flag for naturally aspirated today so I'll do what I can for you people who don't have a dirty turbo charger strapped to your engine so this is it a warm-up lap, so warming up the tires, warming up and really getting a feeling of being on the track again. This is called turn number two because it is the second turn. This one always got me out of a rut. bad last time, it was actually always too hot and I think that's a theme at this race track.

I don't know if the same thing was happening to you back there, yeah, I struggle with that and, um, but I have. I've had some feedback since then, some people have said let's try to take it like a v, other people have said let's go in a little slower so we can go in slowly and come out a little faster, so yeah. I'll have to see what happens. I have traction control disabled. I'm on vsc sport, even on the warm-up lap. I can't follow you yet, friend, you're going a little faster. than I'm comfortable with uh and when we're not even warm yet but um there's a Honda behind me and from the looks of the wing I don't think it's going to be behind me for long I'm just cruising but right away I can feel that I have a lot more grip than last time, the car is just sitting where I want it to be instead of spinning all the time so that's positive, hopefully it really does its thing once we get there.

I got into it in about 25 seconds, my tires aren't hot but I can still feel the car moving a little. This curve is always a bit complicated, plus today there are shorter sessions and we only had 10 minutes. 20 minutes last time, there are already people overtaking us in the warm-up, yes, okay, get it out of the way, the guys will face off, there is a little Suzuki Swift that is fast, a man with B plates, an excellent cool man, well, everything feels good. To me, we're coming to the straight and I suggest we give it a little bump, okay you're ready to go, okay man let's go full throttle, here we go, there's things already moving away from me and me.

I'm right on it, the sti is pulling away, it's pulling away without any problems except that, guided out, it just stopped hard in front of me and then slowed down, so this is what we're going to deal with in this. Track day, I think today, but let's see what happens. 150k per hour is still coming around that curve. I have to brake harder than I usually do. I'll try to fix this curve. That guy is doing it like a V shape. Interesting. Yes, there it is. understeer coming in as usual I'm getting fast I'm getting fast come on little brz come on little b I said come on yeah yeah come on it feels better but it's not really that um it's not that understeer but that highlights its own problems I mean I feel like It's more likely to break its tail if I'm not careful and I'm on the wavy strip fighting to keep this Brz away from me.

I'm with you aggressively, my friend. at you so hard it's not funny if I had the power I'd probably be outplaying you matt I'm not disagreeing with you come on little brz every time we come to a corner I'm just bringing you right into this. I feel much better than the last time. I still see it. I see you friend. It's good to have the power. I definitely have more grip than before, but yes, it's about having the ability to use it correctly. I guess here we are. Wow, that's better, wow, wow, when you point it in the right direction, it really grabs now, okay, here we go.

I'm going to walk away from you with my foot straight to the ground, change the light at 140 kilometers per hour, 160 days. one hour 170 fifth gear 200 300 line 190 brake a little because I'm too scared to go faster than that oh that's pretty wild actually take that curve at that speed I really kept the speed that time will try I'm coming to that curve at 160. ripping a lot harder than last time I'm going to square this up oh man I just can't get through the corner too fast no matter what I do fast little suzuki in front of me but I'm going to have to pass me he's letting it go thanks buddy okay I need to make up for everything I just lost on that stretch okay Kyrie is starting to feel really good now starting to get it oh he's right behind me again.

It just never goes away, this guy no matter what I do it corners well, I slide a little but I can feel the diff driver helping me get through the corners which is great, in fact I'm on the rough edge every moment I can. on you again my friend, I'm on you hello friend hello man I'll be with you again at the next bend, don't worry his car is so fast I can't believe it's too hot, but I'll get him back, yeah, outside. on the straight get as much speed as I can coming into this straight yeah clean very clean come on hello okay brz this is my time to shine I'm going to hit 200 k per hour no matter what comes come on , it's 200 i' I'm on the brakes, I got scared, my butt was squinting too much, having the wheels turned and going so fast is a pretty wild experience, back to the corners.

I'm going to make this clean, this time, use clean and tidy. the whole track not much of the track wow oh no he's not gone I'm coming for you buddy I can see you and I'm coming he's coming for me I can see him okay keep the right amount of speed this way we'll get out from the corner up I'm at the apex hard side here we go now I'm starting to lose it that's what it's going to take to start losing myself he says here I come here I come I can always see him In this part of the track, he just catches me every time I'm sideways on every corner, which I know is probably not fast, but I'm doing everything I can to catch him.

I don't have the JDM Street cred, but I have the drive to win, I'll race this brz down the stretch if I can. There is a quote that says it doesn't matter if you don't win, but you must have the will to win and I. I'll tell you what I have the will to win, but today we are all winners because no matter what the WRX

wins

or gets five thousand dollars, I think I win either way, to be honest, it's okay, drag racing gives me the eighth position on the straight. Oh, it's so close, it's so close, but it's so fast.

Wow, wow, that's amazing. Stay calm by modulating. Oh, a little scrubbing in the rear still at 170. Yes, slowing down from 170 is a big deal. I'm taking this corner a lot slower now and it's going to pay off, oh, it gets tougher, so yeah, okay, I'm learning, these are the corners I need to get through quickly to get that. He is still there. I pull away slowly but he's still there, we have to keep it up with his power even though we've turned off the torque, there's still a little less power there. I'm going to try to keep the revs higher. be team, come on, brakes on, hold on, hold it, hold it, brake light, brake hard, turn in, keep it smooth, go, brz, go, be like it's slowly pulling away, it's slowly pulling away carrying a lot more speed around here than I had before. the braking marker shifts hard down pull it down here we go here we go this is good accelerate hard coming out of the corner im bringing this poor little sdi's neck out try to get as much speed as i can vrz im so proud you im so proud of you little brother you're 50 kilowatts west yes it's getting further away but what a balancing act that so much was lost so much was lost there oh my gosh I think my tip driver basically saved me. butt then black flags are placed man this is yeah he crossed the line amazing amazing that was so cool man good thatthat's all that's our session ah that was amazing that was a lot of fun I don't need to look at the moments when I would like to congratulate you.

I would like to congratulate you. In this case, the car that, according to sales, is worth around 80,000 or more, has surpassed Brzad. You can get one of these for 15 grand in stock, it's a lot of fun. but it's not about catching that thing, it's not about catching that thing, but buddy, just like last time, you're in my mirror all the time, unless the road is straight, you're in my review mirror, well .The most important thing is that I had a lot of fun, it was fantastic. According to my race timer, I shaved off about two seconds on the same power, so that's just tires and handling mods, so who was your best lap partner? 157 points, what a point seven, one, fifty-seven points. nine, so it's still pretty close, that makes sense, man, you beat me, you beat me by point two of a second and you owe me five thousand dollars.

I looked better doing it in my crazy two-door JDM car and it's a rebadged Toyota, you won, man, you and your car won the two-second point. Congratulations, that's five thousand dollars for me and my brz and that's a thousand dollars to help do incredible work supporting the mental health of young Australians and their families. make sure you visit the contact website if you are struggling with some anxiety, some depression, the world feels a little crazy, visit the contact website, there are many resources, there is help available and if you are struggling, I will be able to there. find help and some support, so thank you very much, we'll go and stop, have a little chat, I'll get my money and we'll call it a day.

I wonder how much five thousand dollars would cost. Get me modifications for this car, I know exactly what I'm going to get for my car mate, I think I know it too, so there's everyone, that's the kind of challenge, your weird launcher challenge, but it's the cars that we have, that's how it was. very funny, how did it go, friend? I really enjoyed it. My car handled completely different than last time. It was difficult in a different way. There was almost no understeer this time, but now the rears have come out because they have been tuned to do so.

So it's time to sit down to be much faster as the mods made me faster to go faster again. It's more time in the seat to get used to everything. I think that's exactly what getting faster track times really means. Now it's about learning the dynamics of the track by learning all the lines by spending more time and if you really like competitive racing that's what you spend doing but none of us are race drivers and really none of these are race cars , they are cars of that type. do a little bit of everything that's right, one's fast, one's about to get faster, so martin, a deal's a deal, thank you very much, so, um, that's excellent, thank you very much, you know what you're going to get it.

I could just plug it in here and it wouldn't be much at all, mate, I'll take it straight to a roundabout right there, so thank you very much, it's 5km for me in the brz, and of course a thousand dollars will come, man, that's it. I always go shopping, thank you very much, it's always fun, I'll shout out your lunch. Both cars are heading home alone. We are driving home. That's always a victory at a price. Get some lunch and now I'm going shopping. I have my online shopping app. ready to go
