its funny how Tsuchiya gave both 97's. He knew the mercedes would win, but his heart was with the wrx

[@ryanshannon7703]

I would say that he took into consideration both Taniguchi's and Orido's arguments. He agreed the tire choice from the factory for the A45 was not as effective as the STi, but he also considered the performance they both gave, as well as the quality and characteristics of the cars. If you watch Orido's scoring he says the STi out-scored the A45 mostly because it's excellent bang for buck. You get 6 pots up front and supremely designed suspension and chassis along with a good tire choice from the factory, while the A45 was an overall more accommodating vehicle, with performance to match, but costs 3 million yen more, which isn't chump change. Tsuchiya basically said performance wise they're basically identical, but it just depends how much you want to spend and what you expect out of the car. You can either say the STi is better because it's nearly as performant as the A45 for 3 million yen less (nearly 30k USD) or you can say the A45 is the more complete package because you get the performance of a STi (which is an excellent bar to set for yourself) but you still maintain the luxury fittings and ride quality. The A45 they just released here in the U.S.A. could arguably have another leg up due to the A series Mercs having the newer MBUX system, which is one of the most advanced vehicle management/interactive systems in production, which pushes the technology gap between the two even further. But, you're going to pay some $$$$ for that tech. Overall, I'd say this is the most balanced race I've seen in this series aside from the Amuse S2k and the other one (I forgot the tuner's name, but it was several years back. An absolute epic battle that I think remains unresolved to this day).

Would be interesting to see a modified WRX STI with similar power up against the A45 or any other AWD German competitors. In the UK motoring journalists have mostly written off the WRX STI as being underpowered and old fashioned compared to rivals. Subaru have given up selling it in the UK, probably due to massive popularity of German rivals here. It is well established the limits of the EJ207 so would be good to see if the chassis, drivetrain and electronics etc can compare when given a comparable amount of power. I wonder if perhaps the questionable reliability of the EJ held them back from putting more power in to it? Unfortauntely it feels that without a WRC car feeding the development the raw rally motorsports soul of it just isn't there and it can't compete in the days of sophisticated dual clutch gearboxes and electronics alongside strict emissions regulations etc. Hopefully the WRX STI doesn't go the way of the Evo but certainly seems that way, at least outside of Japan. Perhaps they are still selling well there? I hope so.

I have lots of expectations from the FA24 engine - but Subaru needs to do is to develop a 3 to 3.5 L flat 6 engine for the STI. Something like a FA35 flat 6 would just turn the tables for the STI.

[@JustSujC]

If you know how to drive manual and are proficient it's VERY difficult to want an automatic sports car. Takes away a lot of the skill and thrill of driving a sports car. Faster doesn't mean better nowadays when you're comparing 0.2 second differences in 0-60 times.

Both cars are fast. But both have terrible understeers at the limit. Because of the nose heavy engine in the front. Both cars have clever trick diffs to induce oversteer but that is just a show off “drift mode”. It doesn’t really improve the speed around corners. A proper cornering car has to have at least 50:50 to 40:60 Front:Rear weight distribution

日本車がなぜ勝てないのかは、単純にパワーだけではない。優秀なだけではAMGにはとても勝てない。 やはり絶対的なバランスの良さと言うか高さにあると思う。 エンジンだけパワーがあっても、シャーシがショボいと振らついて走れないし、シャーシが良くてもエンジンにパワーがないと車は遅い。 トータルバランスの絶対的な高さの違いが走りに出てると思う。 AMGはさすがにメルセデスを知り尽くしてるだけあって、ターボの効くタイミングからシフトまでの総合的制御がとても上手いと思います。 ドライバー意のままに走る車を作れるAMGは、伊達じゃない。 高いのはちゃんと理由がある車。

[@v37nissanskyline23]

日本車も安全性第一なのは同じです。でなければ欧州では戦えません。同じ安全性を出しながらも、軽量化も出来ている車があればそれもまた凄いことです。特にスバルやホンダ(両社共に定評のあったセダンの販売は辞めてしまいましたが)などの安全性は数十年前からヨーロッパではお墨付きでもあります。 価格は、アウディ車が高額なのに殆ど一緒のフォルクスワーゲンがリーズナブルというのと似ていて、大半は高級とされるメーカー及びブランドのステータスフィーかと。 メルセデスベンツに至ってはフェラーリとまでは行きませんが、F1に参戦し続けている事もあるのか高額でも収益を維持できるのも一例として考えられる気がします。
