@@TeamoneilrallyMight as well put one of your guys’ training WRXs up against it too

[@THATBUSDRIVER]

I agree, I’d love to see how it’d compare to the wrx!

[@PocketDrummer]

@@Teamoneilrally Have you found a cure for the overheating diff?

[@Higlac89]

​@@Teamoneilrallypersonally, I'm dying to see how it compares to the VA STI. Also I'd love to see how it does with a tire change. Throw some cheap snows on it and see how the budget dirt tires do vs the OE summers.

[@TheAtb85]

I'd love to see it completely stock BUT with better tyres. Then maybe removing weight, tuning lag away as much as possible, and giving it better suspensions. Simple basic mods, to see how much difference they can make.

[@Teamoneilrally]

We will be making more content with this vehicle and making minor modifications... stay tuned!

[@chrischarles9218]

Great 👍

[@brother_maleik]

YES LETS GO!! ​@@Teamoneilrally

[@SpiralS16]

Agree, to see how much tires would do will be interesting.

[@1101-f6z]

there's not much lag as it's twin scroll, low boost, and larger displacement. Tires will make the biggest difference.

[@labzee7855]

Would love to see more with this series!

[@ericbrenenstuhl6039]

I'm surprised at how quick the car is when so many people were doubting it. I liked the previous video as well where you try to communicate the differences of a 'reduction of technology' with the car translating into a great driving experience. I'd love to see more! Maybe in a series where the car goes down a wise upgrade path to show what really makes a difference in times and do some laps in between to show that difference. "Wise" being the upgrades that make the greatest difference per dollar. Thanks for the fun vids!

[@Teamoneilrally]

Thanks for checking us out!

[@ZakTheRipper18]

Well the most bang for your buck is 100% going to start with tires.

Thanks for the VB Wrx content many are sleeping or unaware of this great new platform from Subaru!

[@olik136]

doesn't help that it isn't sold in Europe because it doesn't meet emission standards

[@TandyTerrison]

This cars weakest link is the insanely short gears. I came so close to purchasing but I couldn’t get over the fact that the boost felt like it was over tight as it started in every gear.

[@ciello___8307]

@@TandyTerrisonnot sure if thats the gearing. This engine is purposely tuned for low end torque. Partially due to emissions too

[@willmauney9609]

@@TandyTerrison I didn't find the gears were that short or close, but that the 6100 redline is too low. Easy fix with a tune, I've heard of it being turned up to 7k without much issue.

[@fougetube]

​​​@@TandyTerrison Assuming you buy this car to tune it, it's a non issue. Raising the redline with a tune to 6500 is the key.

[@aaronbryan5095]

I was just binge watching your previous VB WRX video lol, being impressed by how well sorted the chassis and suspension is 😂

[@MrCamSemple]

Would love to see you modify it with $0, $100, $1000, etc.. and run it again each time to see the improvements. You could also compare different recipes at each price point. Also, I love the forehead mounted shots because it shows your steering inputs, but didnt like that flow being inturrupted with the outside spoiler-mounted shots. It would also be great to add a small picture-in-picture of your footwork in the corner so we can see the timing and coordination better relative to corner apex.

[@Teamoneilrally]

Thank you for the feedback, all great ideas for next time. We will take all of them into consideration.

My 2011 is at $7000 and counting on it's repair bill right now, as I watch this. I've driven her off road a LOT, and wow, this bill is showing it and I am not even doing all that needs to be replaced. The car can handle it, but expect to wear out a lot of bushings and other wear parts!

[@RallyReg22]

Time for a trade up. You can get a base 22-23 for under 30k easy

[@deltaorion4826]

Awesome, I actually like the POV long shots a lot more than the usual style with lots of cuts. I am interested to see what this car can do with a basic tires, dampers and brakes package. Things that are cheap and easy to install while still keeping the car livable as a daily.

[@MisterNutty]

I couldn't be more interested in seeing you modify the VB and continuing to push it! Really awesome laps!

[@RatBürgerSk8]

Definitely want to see some gravel tires and suspension if its this fast on summer tires. A video series on taking a road car like this and optimizing it further for rallying within a realistic budget would be interesting.

[@malthael5025]

It would be so cool to see WRX, Golf R, Corolla GR and new JCW Countryman together on this track!

[@TheChumzo]

A rallycross prepared class type build would be interesting to see. No need for engine mods, just some cheaper rally suspension and rally tires. Maybe a front and rear LSD as well. It would be really cool to see what difference a rear then front LSD makes compared to the open diffs.

[@ryan56976]

OMG YES! Just please make a single change per similar condition lap so we can get a sorta decent idea of how much each mod helps. My bet is that tires, weight loss, bolt-ons make the difference in that order.

[@mlivshiz]

Do a lap with just changing the tires to a gravel tire. Would be interesting to see the delta of only that change.

[@tebetmania]

Keep it coming. Make a lap run after every changes made. Can't wait to see it's full potential.

If you guys ever get your hands on a GR Yaris I'd love to see it go through here. Bonus points if you find one tuned with anti-lag, such capable cars.

[@Fordworldrallyfan]

That would be next to impossible to do, given they cannot be sold in, or brought into this country. Maybe some privateer running in the ARA series will eventually bring in a Rally 2 spec/prepped Yaris GR (now that they exist in Rally 2 form), and let them wring it's neck on this test stage road. 😉 (They get that 'competition car' exemption for ONLY one year of motorsport use here from the DOT/NHSTA, yes, even though they are driven on public roads for the transits.)

Insane performance for 30k with a warranty. High tuning potential as well and mostly reliable, I can't see a better deal on the market overall. Too bad the cladding isn't color matched from the factory or else more people would agree

[@DasWauto]

I’d love to see what difference a set of tires can make. Might be fun to compare chunky winters vs some of the baby A/T (trail) tires that are out there and/or competition spec gravel tires. I’m also curious if there’s an off the shelf suspension solution that would work well for this sort of driving, not just appeasing the MOAR LOW crowd. I know Ohlins makes (made?) a gravel setup for the VA chassis and I considered it for mine briefly but $10k is a bitter pill to swallow there. Maybe Flatout suspension or Feal can provide something. I considered both for my car but I found reliable info/feedback scarce when I was shopping.

[@Marc0Bece]

I think the ultimate collab would be a Grand Tour/Team O'Neil crossover episode of the Grand Tour. Where the 3 GT hosts take a rally class with Wyatt.

[@Teamoneilrally]

That would be an epic collaboration indeed!

[@CurtisHuffman-cj5qm]

I love these types of videos and would like to see more. Another video idea: Interested to see what time you could get this stock WRX down to with some budget M&S tires (Or just winter tires) as the only modification. For road and track applications tires are almost everything (behind driving). Is the same true for rally?

[@Teamoneilrally]

Excellent idea we hope we can do some content with different tires types. Tires absolutely make a big difference in rally.
