I think the biggest difference between these cars is that anyone could lay down similar results in that golf r, however only Gary can lay down those results in that scooby, if that makes sense. both wicked cars, but i'll take the scooby all day long 🔥

Love the scooby ( biased as i have one ) Golf R is a very popular car, brilliant performance from both, but the scooby to get a 3.16 0-60. that is seriously fast for a manual. Great episode from OG
Ive got a Golf R wagon, No where quick as these cars but love to see the races, I'd definatly love the subi for a race car but the golf is definately the perfect daily imo
Sounds like the R wagon needs a better DSG tune. Plus for the drag race there’s always a DSG lag so that’s why they do better with a tree as opposed to dropping the hands
Only awake and Jamie hitting us with a Sunday morning video,gotta lv the fella lol respect Jamie! I'm glad the scooby pulled one back at the end,these modern gearboxes are getting outa hand now days and making racing them with a manual gearbox a little unfair.
The fact is anybody and their nan can drive an automatic (or whatever you want to call any non manual 'box) fast. If you are laying times in a manual you are a legend. Non manual boxes are for straight-line hold on while the car does the driving people. World is full of clowns pretending
Thing is all you guys is talking about straight lines when it is more car less driver on a road race is where it is more driver less car in a way…. But that’s why you get two different cars one for that emotional connection and a other for that sharp knife edge driving and paddle shifters etc don’t have to be boring
@@Jay-dx9fi no I'm just about the raw driving experience mate but you sound like somebody who can not use a clutch pedal in a competitive environment 🤣

Not slagging on the bloke or car just 2 completely different cars racing! All my cars I’ve ‘built’ n I’ve had a lot of them!
A computer reacts faster than any human will ever and can and often times will improve times. new technology that is better and more faster doesnt mean something its' "soulless". The golf R's Ea888 is still a far more reliable platform than an already old ej platform, I bet the scooby is a fully built motor and hes touched every part in the powertrain, where as from factory, you can bolt on a few upgraded bits (turbo, downpipe, intercooler) and make 500 whp reliable enough to let your kid borrow the car to take out.

That rolling anti-lag helped the Suburu in the rolling race. He already had all the boost while the VW had to spool. Very evenly matched cars . The Suburu driver is flat out awesome and really does have DCT shift speed.
The Subaru is 350kg lighter, it weighs just 1150kg lol, and that's not a stock gear box. The VW is a wagon lol and still weighs 1500kg with the rear seat removed, so it's heavy.
@@czierwo I can look up the definition too I have a Golf r and plenty ppl I know have dsg cars u don't manually shift dsg specially on a dig its been proven
I have a North American 2018 VW Sportwagen 1.8T AWD DSG Execline and it scoots, but I really wish we had access to the R version I would have bought 1 Its stock but I run 93 Octane, my best run was a 6.8 sec 0-60mph and 14.8 1/4 mile
By far 1 of the best head 2 heads I like that u showed the re runs because driver error and car come in to it alot brings alot of personality to the race
What an awesome head to head! The way that R estate took off from the line was amazing. That Impreza is an absolute weapon though, what a car! Another Smasher OG!
Wonder how many of you guys have owned both? In JDM guise the STi's are every bit as good as the Evo and special edition STi's are almost always quicker cars. UK spec cars not so much...
@Nibo Dude, read up, carguylife said you cant beat a classic subaru, next guys says "you can, an evo", then I said it hasn't happened yet on the channel. Meaning an evo hasn't yet beat a scooby on the channel. Dw I keep up with affairs and I have a 400+hp scooby lol
Ive known Gary for years, I built a similar spec 500+ Impreza but now own a Stage 2 Audi TTS. Only thing I will say is the £ it costs to get a Subaru to that level vs a TFSI is huge, and I certainly don't miss how tempermental the Subaru is at that level. DSG is great fun on track etc, not just in a straight line.
Crazy how much power u can get out of golf r technology has come a long way glad the scooby won still good to see them hanging in there and beating the new cars
@@crxgator Tbf 500hp and 11's is about right for cars in their weight class, 600hp+ would get them into the 10's, 750+ could potentially see 9's. I've watched thousands of drag races on YT lol...
Great video nothing between the two really nice to see the old skool keeping it fresh well done drive. Little motor addicts tease at the end.....can't wait nice one Jamie 💥👍
Love them both... as a family man.. either would do in my garage.. preferably both... Used to have the golf sv 1.2 with like kiddie pictures contravision on the back windows.. launch that thing off the line no one expects... took every gap in traffic
Cracking race but on the second run the golf r owner said just after the race still slow (should have been a high 9) out a 500bhp golf r estate? Has any 500bhp golf r estate ever done a 9? Not that i know of.
That 1st to 2nd short shit in the gf8 was the only thing letting it down in the drags, crazy how close the 2 performed, seeing the subi pull in the roll race was proper good stuff
love the old skool. dont matter if it aint as fast as newer stuff, its the feel of driving them. Jamie, i think it would do wonders for your channel to do a old skool build.
Here in Moscow it’s been many years of arguing about that kind of races.. old cars are old cars, and you still need to struggle, sweat, be nervous, always repair smth. VAG is a type of a car which shows stability, you just need to push the pedal. And no more headaches about your turbos, lambdas, fuel pumps etc.. but old Subaru is always fun... in my opinion every person needs both of them - fast VAG for comfort and fast daily driving & fast old jdm car for weekend fun. Different emotions. Had both VAG and Subaru, miss them both
@@MotorAddicts you are most welcome... Its always a pleasure to watch u guys at work, and messing round in some fine cars, well maybe not that cart thing, but was hilarious lol 😂
BRO I LOVE THIS SUBARU AND TO BE HONEST IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THE BUILD QUALITY OF A WELL BUILT WRX SUBARUS PEOPLE ALWAYS SAYING SUBARUS ARE NOT RELIABLE NEEDTO GET THEM BUILT PROPERLY BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS BEEN SMOKING EVERYTHING AND STILL LAUNCHING LIKE A WRC RALLY CAR…. LETS GO SUBARU
Any car properly built with no expenses withheld will run fine, people mainly bash EJ powered Subarus because they’re unnecessarily high maintenance from the factory, cooling issues that should have been fixed from the factory to lessen detonation/ringland failure , a baffled oil pan should have been added from the factory to ensure rod bearings don’t get starved of oil…
I got a GC8 WRX basically the sedan version of the GF8, what makes them so fast is the power to weight ratio, mine was making just 280hp 16psi on a TD05 Turbo, and I chopped the hell out of a 1jz IS200 making 300hp to the rear wheels
@@MV-ri7zu you must be a little special, thats not a sequential at all, thats a 6speed H pattern, flat foot shifting is something that can be obtained stock with an cobb accessport lmao, stay mad he shifts faster than you
Love that Golf, awesome car, just needs the R badges removing. Not sure I could strip out the interior of a 2017 car myself, seems too new !! 2nd drag 1/4 mile they left the line absolutely identical, it was a perfect race, and the Golf proves it was faster off the line, not sure the Impreza would have pulled it back, as proven in the 3rd drag race when they seemed to leave the line absolutely identical again. In the roll the Impreza clearly went first.
@@pb3382 i could sit in that Golf and run those times. All modern cars are the same. Literally no effort involved. That Subaru still has a sequential gearbox and involves driving, unlike the Golf with its do it for you DSG. I’ll take old school over the modern cars anyday
@@Alandixon88 but changing gear in the sequential box is a peace of piss also, even at that, with an old school manual, its easy to get the launches. And gear changes spot on also.
im sorry but that rolling race is absolutley MAD, Gary's build is crazzzyyyy absolute mental. would love to do a wrx wagon with just a showcar interior big dream
Man like Gary got the best driving poker face! 🥸 another awesome video Jamie, a really interesting video and comparison. It seems like the technology in the Golf outweighs the weight difference between the 2 which is astonishing considering the Golf is 350kg heavier! 🤯

Good race, that Golf R defo had issues, that 1/4 time the platform does at 400 bhp, not 500.
That DSG in the Golf sounds like its starting to struggle almost slipping.
It’s normal with launch control. It’s always slipping. They want it tho. On stock internals it can handle up to 800nm of torque.
It does sound odd 🤔
Yep, he needs a better tune. Probably should go TVS stage three or four
Yeah the shift into 2nd especially was very delayed.
I was thinking the same thing, mine shifts a lot quicker than that and runs similar low 11 second 1/4's despite being 100bhp down on it.
Wow the golf can be driven while staring at the dashboard the whole time while the Subbi has to be driven with focus and precision.
The guy in the golf is shifting mega early!!! Watch the last drag race again… strange!
Especially for a stage 3 car ... peak torque is quite high and so is peak power! So strange
My man Gary really enjoyed that 🔥🔥 there both very close matched loved this 🔥🔥
Love that Golf, awesome car, just needs the R badges removing.
Not sure I could strip out the interior of a 2017 car myself, seems too new !!
2nd drag 1/4 mile they left the line absolutely identical, it was a perfect race, and the Golf proves it was faster off the line, not sure the Impreza would have pulled it back, as proven in the 3rd drag race when they seemed to leave the line absolutely identical again.
In the roll the Impreza clearly went first.
Gary your impreza is one of my favourite cars, I love that thing!
All about the Scooby. All this modern stuff doesn’t need driving, you sit there and it does it all for you 👎🏻
Scooby isn't exactly hard to drive either though? Both were changing gear manually with a simple tap.
@@pb3382 i could sit in that Golf and run those times. All modern cars are the same. Literally no effort involved. That Subaru still has a sequential gearbox and involves driving, unlike the Golf with its do it for you DSG. I’ll take old school over the modern cars anyday
Ok grandad
@@Alandixon88 but changing gear in the sequential box is a peace of piss also, even at that, with an old school manual, its easy to get the launches. And gear changes spot on also.
@@Alandixon88 its not sequential. Its a straight cutbox. His still shifting manually. No taps. But mad respect to both cars.
Enjoyed this one!! Both drivers crazy in sync off the line!
That scooby is a weapon love it !
im sorry but that rolling race is absolutley MAD, Gary's build is crazzzyyyy absolute mental. would love to do a wrx wagon with just a showcar interior big dream
Classic subaru any day love them plus Gary can drive that car
Man like Gary got the best driving poker face! 🥸 another awesome video Jamie, a really interesting video and comparison. It seems like the technology in the Golf outweighs the weight difference between the 2 which is astonishing considering the Golf is 350kg heavier! 🤯
Subaru power
One of my favorite channels can’t lie
Subaru all the way. 💯♥️💯♥️
One of the best og battles I’ve watched 👌👌👌
Yuri's cluthes are slipping big time
STIll relevant enough I would say. Great footage of two great petrol heads and their cars. We want more :)
Scooby all the way
