[@aziivo5012]

@@jondrizzle4554 Its why paddle shifters are offered on sportier model vehicles. Especially for running good times around track. All you do in drag is "bury the throttle" and shift. There's a limit for how engaging/ fun drags can be. Autos are quicker than manual and those with a auto-manual/paddle shift option is peak. Best of both worlds for drag times and track efficiency. It's more so what you drive and how you drive rather than auto vs Manual. Best option is auto with paddles shifting for all-around use. The guy in the video had it hard cause he was misshifting, my advice to him would be just to go sequential

[@JP_RS6]

Manual is for fun driving round twisty country roads if you like that sort of thing. Its an engaging drive I agree. For drags and daily driving, you cant really beat autos. I dont consider this more exciting to watch.

@@michaelhorsman3380 From what I remember it can happen to any of the boxer engines at any power. My impreza was 380, luckily it didn't happen. Someone in the comments might be able to correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's a consequence of the design of the engine, making it shorter was the downfall of the crank and its bearings. Again, just from memory, the crank shells in the 2.0 boxer bottom end are 16mm wide. An equivalent engine, or like for like car I should say is maybe the evo. Their crank shells are 20mm wide. The narrower shells in the impreza restricted it from dissipating heat efficiently. So poor oil and/or a lead boot was the contributing factor that made the shells warp or shift. Don't take this as fact, its the conclusion I arrived at after some research and life experience!

Really unfortunate for Rob, but I'm yet to.see a Subaru boxster engine being high horse power and being as reliable as the Skyline RB's.

And yes, F1 do look at the efficiency for drive train loss? How do I know? My cousin is an F1 engineer, and also with my cars of E55 AMG, RS6, UR Quattro, and even my daily diesels I understand where the HP can be obtained to give the best results.

@@moodyk1979 dude no offense but your job which engineering has nothing to do with engines (im a qualified mechanic) doesnt change the result or a gapping of 1.2 seconds, but the efficiency is nothing to do with power to the wheels, its to do with larger displacement, 2 extra cylinders, the power to the wheels between both will be negligible with similar manual transmission loss. If you want to see efficiency then try explaining and understanding this and lets see you change your opinion lol- the most powerful sequential gtr on the leader board has 930hp and it did a 10.48 1/4 mile yet a subaru with only 705hp sequential did a 10.61, that is a 0.13 second difference with 230 hp difference so now tell me who is more efficient??😂😂🤣😂🤣 Even worse as when i explained 1.2 seconds the difference you could not see the significance between them. Like i said numbers don't lie and now your efficiency has been reversed on you which you have no comeback against as the subaru is more efficient. The board is there for you to go through at your leisure. The subaru won by a mile. In general board aside history has shown the subaru to be the faster more efficient car as andy Forrest who mapped my car did a 7.9 with 1300hp, find me a gtr that can do that time and tell me what power it has lol.
