I got a hunch that most people would feel the same when getting passed by a honda civic.

[@XenonG]

You can fit a ticked out turbo 4 cylinder in a Civic, you can fit a turbo charged V6 or NA V8 in a MX-5 (Then do chassis strengthening and suspension geometry modifications). They are just chassis configurations to me, never see the point to equate brand and model to performance levels. Yeah, I know there are limits, etc etc.

[@lathiat]

This was literally my experience in my Evo X at the RAC track in WA. Turned off the individual wheel braking which stops the car from rotating and end of the next main straight I immediately lost spinning 180 off into the sand. It's amazing how much it helps and you can barely tell it's doing so in the dry (in the wet it's a lot more noticable). In both cases I had the "traction control" off which limits throttle - so no throttle limiting - just disabling the ABS based stability control or not which in the Evo X you do by holding down the traction control button for 3 seconds (single press disables the Traction Throttle Limiting).

[@Financmajster]

thats what happens when you dont revmatch, in my bmw if i come to a roundabout and shift from 3rd to 2nd ithout a revmatch it kicks out immediately, when I revmatch it carries on straight

[@MyGoToUserName]

ESC sport isn't full off, it opens up the nannies to allow more slip angle before cutting in. There is an ESC/TC off button next to that which he never touched. If Moog did the pedal dance, he'd loose all nannies, no T/C, Stability, ABS and EBS[Electronic brake distribution]

[@fenrirthviti]

Glad to hear you guys are aware about the header/tune situation! I drove one of these as a race car with only headers/exhaust, a tune, and new tires with a suspension. It was an absolute monster around a track without that torque dip and 35~ more RWHP. I even have a video of me passing a twin-turbo lambo in it. I hope you guys give it the little extra push it needs and take it back out! It's also interesting that the torque dip is intentional to keep fuel economy and street drivability for their target market, which was 40+ businessmen. While I think it's still a silly decision, it effectively means that the car is a blank slate. It is one of the most capable chassis to come out in a very, very long time. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for the next step in this car's journey!

[@saulespino2510]

Do you have an E-85 tune on it?

[@jfan4reva]

"No problem keeping up with him" Turns on sport mode. Starts sliding the back end. Marty drives away.

[@DrewLSsix]

Because sport mode rarely ever has anything to do with performance. Its almost always about giving the driver the kind of experience they expect from a performance car. While in the modern car world you don't need a rough ride and barking exhaust to be quick around a track.

Random BRZ facts from a 2017 brz owner: -The BRZ stock tires are the same ones that are put on the prius "Michilin Primacy" -The 2017 brz has a updated traction control. They call it "track mode". The way it interferes isn't as sudden and feels a lot smoother and natural vs the VSC off.

[@niclime172]

You can also swap the VDC control module of a 2017+ car in a 2012-2016 and have the updated traction control. All it takes is a connector pin swap on the 2012 to 2014, plug and play on 2015+

[@Jdmjunkie001]

@@niclime172 I am planning on doing this soon! I am glad they finally posted a concise DIY on the forums.

[@stephen3164]

No one likes getting passed by a Miata - that’s why everyone hates them, bc they are so good. 😉 I have had 3 Miatas, and owned a BRZ. The BRZ was great. Sport mode on or all nannies off is the way to go. The issue though is no low end torque. It’s much slower than it looks. Passing cars on a 1 lane each direction road wasn’t easy - the other car gets upset you are passing them (while they are on their cell phone doing 10 under the speed limit), and they hit the gas. Then you are side by side. Just not enough power when you really need it - but plenty of power 95% of the time. Moog - that shift light is programmable. You can set it for the rpm you want it to come on. Nothing to do with the car itself warning you - the previous owner just chose that rpm. The manual shifter in that car is so good. Awesome feel. The seats are great. The low seating position and low COG just help the car corner so nicely. What’s even better is the “center point” of rotation of the car feels like it’s right in front of your body (or at your body if you have the seat more forward), so the car rotates around you. So amazing - no way to describe how much a part of the car you feel driving one at the limits. Hoping the next gen doesn’t lose that charm but gets more power to match its abilities!

[@keon5779]

He didn't like getting passed by the Miata because the driver dangerously overtook on the inside line because he thought he was racing in F1. Miatas are great, but the driver of that white one was a dick.

[@thunderbirdizations]

Keon R. Not necessarily dangerous, only dangerous if moog didn’t act accordingly. I’d say it’s more bullying and lack of courtesy for other drivers’ fun

[@MacroEnabled]

@Bob Dole WRX? Might want to do some research. There are so many reasons to pick up an MX-5/BRZ/86 instead. RWD coupe is just the way to go if you enjoy driving.

[@stephen3164]

Bob Dole - I sold my BRZ after 4 years. I have an STi hatch now. I had a WRX wagon for 14 years, 4 of which were alongside the BRZ. My STi has the JDM Spec C suspension and bushings. Handles great, enough power to keep me happy and out of trouble, and amazing in all weather. Still, when you got in a BRZ, it felt like putting on a suit. The car was an extension of you. The STi is better in every way except that connection.

[@stephen3164]

Marco V - I have an S197 Mustang GT as a second car. It’s fun but big and heavy and spins the tires too easily. Bumps upset the rear and it tries to pass the front. Would rather have my BRZ back many times - EXCEPT when dealing with some traffic around LA where people don’t let you over, etc, and you have to do a quick 60-90mph pull in a small window to escape your “box”. The BRZ couldn’t do those. But my STi handles slightly better than my Mustang. Both modified for handling. They’re close - but feel completely different. Honestly, had Subaru given the BRZ the turbo engine from the WRX, it would have been amazing.

I love the enthusiasm for the driving experience more than anything. I have an FR-S version in America. Absolutely love it!

11:20 is where this video starts hahahaha

[@noshunnumber1]

My BRZ is a 2016 in Canada, I press and hold the TCS Off button for about 5 seconds and it turns most of it off unless you are getting wheels off the road. I've done full donuts in this mode and the traction control doesn't cut in. Once I've got the car up to temp and got a feel for the grip level at the track I switch to this mode. I'm pretty smooth with my inputs so I don't have any issues in this mode. It's only when you try to Chuck it about too much that you hear the abs grabbing brakes

[@FlyingNDriving]

Passed by a Miata on a long straight away... And for that reason I'm out

[@TheMashedFM]

That mx5 was either the factory turbo one or it's had a turbo slapped on it.

[@xperia5295]

@@TheMashedFM NCs don't come factory turbo. But they do have a bit more power than the OG NA/NB's. -MiatazGoneWild ;P

[@TheMashedFM]

@@xperia5295 at 4:27, that was an NB

[@UberSpartanVG]

@@TheMashedFM definetly has a turbo or supercharger if not a swap concidering how fast it shot by, cause the brz is slow but it is faster than every stock N/A miata or on par with it in the case of the nd.

[@microbuilder]

Imagine how the driver of that little blue nugget felt getting passed by a BRZ lol

[@methodikz]

I love how at every trackday they tell you it's not a race. But it totally becomes a race.

[@zoogoober]

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for the honest commentary. I must admit this series has me looking for one.

[@brownsworthy7323]

It's awesome seeing the pure joy of Moog, who was a doubter of the 86, enjoying what this car is all about.

[@keyboarddancers7751]

This is how all sports cars should be reviewed. Brilliant format!

[@jacobnemcic8147]

Once again great video boys! hope we get 21 minutes from Marty's POV.

[@Spagettiization]

mate don't put yourself down, you have done so much for so many people over the years. You have a good heart

[@Atpaw]

FWIW Moog, Stability Control and Traction Control can be turned off completely by simply holding down the traction control button for 3 seconds while stopped.

[@Diguz91]

that Yaris at the end tho..... i know, it's called an echo in asia, but here in europe that was the 1st gen yaris.... great little car...

[@alexhilberts2666]

Love the style of video guys. Simple and really captured what it must be like to do a track day.

[@HAMISHMCC300]

Really enjoyed a large chill track day video! Would be happy to see (and hear!) more

[@StrangelyIronic]

You guys should do some rallycross style racing, doesn't have to be anything radical but flying over a mix of dirt, gravel, and pavement has been more fun to me recently than road track. I've been running what started life as a 70's Super Beetle and is now a front engine AWD powered by a 1.8T 225 Quattro powertrain. Custom chassis starting with Audi TT subframes and suspension with Body attached pretty much like a regular Beetle with a cage added in. It's road legal and still has air con/heat with proper insulation but rubber flooring instead of carpet, modern gauge cluster, shifter, seats, etc. Have had to road trip it a couple times, not half bad after swapping back for road tires and adjusting the suspension.

[@sireuchre]

Subaru's creativity with headrests is interesting. The rear seat headrests in the BH wagons can be removed and put back from the bottom at the back of the seat, so you can store them when not needed, adding more clear view out of the rearview mirror. My '02 Outback also has the shortened center headrest to help add to rear visibility, which is low enough I don't have to remove.

[@Daesbou]

haha i'm really glad Moog enjoyed the 86 chassis

[@TheRangaKing1991]

set the big corner up as 2 corners or drift it as one corner . 19:58 there you go , that was almost perfect

[@MotoCat91]

Those music sections were giving me real nostalgic Gran Turismo vibes, love it

[@K03sport]

something about having to work at getting the BRZ (86) to go fast seems a lot more appealing than going fast in a car that is already inherently fast. A BRZ was at the top of my next car list, but as fate would have it, a WRX wound up in the garage purely from the 4-door practicality stand point. It wasn't the power, but everyday usefullness plus the wife said "NO" to both the MX-5 and the BRZ. I don't mind slow, as long as it sounds good and has good connectedness/feel. I like this series, and will watch all the way to the end. Cheers.

[@jaymckean3274]

Thanks for the proper evaluative track day experience and as always the commentary was fantastic. Stay safe. ♥️✌️😎♥️

[@barsaf9989]

I agree with you about the safety systems. Just leave them on. They are so good in new cars that they don't really intervene unless absolutely necessary. I only turn them off when I'm in the snow having some fun :)

[@NISMOIZKING]

I think a supercharger would be a good move since you are not looking for big power but quick power.

[@guillermomonroy7319]

Lots of fun watching this. Cam angles make me feel like i was there! Wish i could join you next time

[@PaulRancourt18]

You can turn off the stability control more than just the vsc sport button. Press and hold on the traction control button for 5 seconds turns off traction control and stability control. It lets you get even more sideways than just the vsc sport button. Then the next step is the pedal dance thing with hand brake and brake pedal.

[@stuartharvey7677]

Good job moog plus you have good track manners letting the much quicker cars pass you when its safe and leaving lots of room

[@itmebakadesu]

6:55, Marty, Moog called it an STI finally.

[@GordonDragons]

18:00 Turn 2 at SMP, in something with a bit more power you can treat it like a double-apex by running in deep, get the turning done and straighten up the exit. But with a low powered car it's probably better to trail brake into the corner and hug the inside line as you slowly feed in the throttle and let it run out wider on exit.

[@MrAe86ln]

Loved the commentary and @9:45 The new version over taking the OG.
