Mitsubishi Evo X FQ360 vs Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Every now and again I keep coming back to this video just to see Jason drifting that Subaru! So satisfying to watch!

[@kevinsoncalixte3947]

I like Evo X and Subaru.. the Evo should have been manual

I really miss tiff vs Jason they did some of the best things on Fifth gear

[@vandalmixes1176]

Kind of dumb they had an automatic Evo.

[@gio-cl3yf]

Zack Pinkerton true

[@jallen9525]

IHaveNoName FQ360 only came as a manual so that Evo is a FQ300 SST

[@jujitsusti7719]

James Allen yes precisely lol

[@bababurnweedsan6049]

Dumb dont know how to launch dct

[@ScoobKing85]

Not an auto....(-_-)..look at the steering wheel....smfh

[@stephen9944]

The DCT470 is 2 separate 3 speed manual transmissions in one housing that pre selects the next gear by throttle position, brake position and RPM momemtum and changes gears using 2 separate hydroelectronically controlled CLUTCHES, not a torque convertor on an automatic transmission. Every MR video on KZbin is peppered with comments saying "why auto" or "5 speed is better" but the reality of it is that the TC-SST was the pinnacle of the Evo X and there isn't one situation where pushing a clutch in manually and shifting manually is better. On the same track, the MR beats the GSR by 1 sec or more and that is just cold, hard facts kids. A GSR runs at 90 mph @ 3800 RPM, the MR at the same speed runs at 3200 RPM. There are no situations that the 5 speed is better other than the cost of ownership, which is subjective.

[@klotzalexandre9249]

4:48 initial d like overtake haha

[@chironsbestfriend2530]

4:52 Holy crap that was a clean drift!!!!!!!!!

[@UltimatumDemon]

Deja-vu

[@sergio5440]

Ive never seen anyone drive a sti this good before holy shit

[@lejink]

It's too bad that a company as massive as Mitsubishi can't manage to build anything interesting.. The Evo was definitely an achievement, but I can't help but think they could have done better. Considering how little R&D time they seemed to spend on the rest of their line

[@JohnSmith-rx2nd]

Thats impressive hes drifting the sti! Pretty good driving :)

[@gin21zkato]

dude sti is 265 ps this is enought to do much more

[@XavierBetoN]

dude everybody's 600bhp when it's raining!

[@planetx1176]

Sti has manual evo x got automatic which is pretty insane to drift

[@akakigvilava5571]

Omg evo almost did a 180° and still caught it back ...now that rally driving

[@nathanma4273]

Love his driving skills in the Subaru

[@BlakesGarage]

Got to love this old battle. Now Subaru needs to step it up with the Ford Focus RS and Audi RS3 being such awesome contenders.

[@MarkAnthony-jc8qu]

loOOooO sorry bud but I will Never drive an sti.

[@Mr.pawahh]

The only thing fifth gear did better than prime top gear was the fact they had actual good drivers

[@zhangsenpai263]

4:49 When the Eurobeat kicks too hard

[@danielcamacho1913]

Mitsubishi pushed the dual-clutch automatic gearbox so hard, lots of people didn't know the Evo X came with anything else. And I really felt like I had *settled* when I got mine with a 5-speed. The more I hear from dual-clutch owners and see videos like this, the more I like my 5-speed.

[@Skyrocket888]

SST destroys manual on track on motorway on fuel economy. Pretty much on anything ...

[@TriMuXx]

@@Skyrocket888 SST also destroys itself once you go over 550AWHP on the engine.

[@PrtclWav]

​@TriMuXx just needs a clutch upgrade see Kozmic motorsports lol

[@jarlaatz632]

I understand people complaining about the Evo being auto and it's unfair to compete against a manual subaru but what people need to understand also is that the Evo in this video is a FQ400 and the Subaru is a standard STI. This is also an unfair matchup. The FQ400 is a more powerful and expensive version of the standard evo and to be fair it had to be competed against a similar customised version of the subaru, which is the S series. So all in all it was somehow a fair battle.

[@oogway1234]

That Evo has DCT automatic transmission can shift easier , faster , better

[@Kneedragon1962]

The people who play with these things, tell me the Scooby-doo is a fairly nice car when you turn up the boost a bit, but the EVO-10 is a work of art. As standard cars, they're fairly close, but if you spend the same ten grand (or eight or whatever) on go fast stuff, particularly if you mostly just up the boost, the EVO is an absolute gem. You can double the hp and it continues to work exactly the same as the standard car. If you think that's normal for tuned cars (or bikes) then you haven't done much tuning....

[@HK.Builds]

Kneedragon1962 ur right. the evo is amazing to tune. the weakness is the gearbox. with mine i was running 450whp and my piston rings blew lol. :(

[@Eidrian111]

Kneedragon1962 yeah right it's sooooo amazing that it has been discontinued

[@Kneedragon1962]

And? The '80s have also been discontinued, and I was rather fond of them too...

[@Nik.Coffman]

That wasn't even the FQ400. You ain't gonna turn up no boost in this one though. Sorry, no 4g63 in this EVO. Besides, he was kicking the ass end around for fun. Almost like the tires were for the dry. Either way the EVOs have always been faster, ever since the 6. The 8 MR will always be my favorite, real work of art. Yes, I drive an 06 WRX. Should have been allies all along, fuckin fanboys ruin everything.

[@PiliaeAl]

Spend 10k on an E92 BMW N54- bye bye Evo-

[@SuperAngelles]

Why Cant We Americans have Driving Shows like this? These guys are awesome I mean fucking Awesome. What a bold ass move in the Subi. Wow I was on the edge of my seat. I love this Show.

[@wellyliman]

[@renaldobryan1047]

[@ashchannel1861]

[@skillbopster]

@@Excepticus No it isn't, the gear change is quicker but under power the manual is quicker. Theres a race on that Japanese channel I forgot the name.

Everyone! It's a DCT automatic transmission or paddle shift its just like manual

[@bEEBO178]

There isn't such a thing as an evo with an automatic 😂 Noobs confusing it with a Dual clutch DCT trans 😂

[@josepha-rt7118]

Damn.....I want to drive like that Subaru driver

[@alliemazing5774]

Why would you use an automatic evo? That's not even an actual match up. Evos do have a 5 speed option.

[@danielcamacho1913]

Magazine writers and TV reviewers test whatever the manufacturers send them, and have to give enough positive reviews that manufacturers will keep sending them stuff. For a while Mitsubishi was *only* loaning out dual-clutch automatic cars to the press. Most reviews were unconditionally positive, and the press found different creative ways to kiss up to Mitsubishi. Zillions of people missed the one line per article that said a 5-speed was standard equipment.

[@bEEBO178]

Mitsubish never made an auto evo? They made a DCT one but not an auto?

You can drive it as a manual tho, either using paddles or shift lever. The manual version on has 5 speed.

Are you sure it's an FQ360? I thought they only came with a 5 speed manual.

[@DragonSenpai88]

way u not using a manual vs a manual ????????????????????????

[@SqubaSquid]

Before buying my car I got to drive an Evo X and a 2011 WRX STI sedan. While the Evo was fun I didn't like the feel of the 5 speed. Also, the suspension made a loud bang when you stamp the brakes at low speed. The STI was great on the other hand. The turbo spool and recirc sound was quiet but the exhaust note was amazing. They were both used but the STI had lower miles and was stock. It cost more but I went with the Subie and don't regret it for a single day. I still like Evos but my heart lies with the 6 stars.

[@tejan23]

you should use the paddle shifter

[@superrookie-1]

why these guys are not in the new top gear

[@sugizotakuro]

mitsubishi's ayc is best, but mated to an auto gearbox? not a fair competition

[@alexanderd8740]

fq360 is manual only as far as i know and destroys stock scoobies, this is either the 300/330sst, i would guess the 300.
