Mitsubishi Evo VI: @GeoByLuke
Who’s ready for an almighty rally car DRAG RACE?!
Mat’s in the Subaru Impreza P1, and he’s going head-to-head with another world-famous rally car, the Mitsubishi Evo VI!
They’re two very different cars, but their stats are oh-so similar. Starting with the Subaru, it’s powered by a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that can put down 280hp & 353Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel-drive, and it tips the scales at 1,283kg.
As for the Evo, well it’s also packing a 2-litre turbo petrol engine, and while it puts down an identical 280hp, it can produce slightly more torque, at 373Nm. Just like the Subaru, it also includes a 5-speed manual and four-wheel-drive, but it’s slightly heavier, at 1,360kg.
So, it’s a battle of the gear changes, but who will be better, Mat or Yianni? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

VOTE: Mat!
VOTE: Yianni!
Sup
The way both Mat and Yianni are changing gears is insane! You both are the best car reviewers, drag racers and best friends ever! I love you both so much!
Mat always
I miss these cars, I miss when Mitsubishi still produced cars that were fun, enjoyable and thrilling to drive, like the Evo!
but now that is history :(
@febby azna what the fuck are you talking about
The Lan Evo is my favourite rally icons in the 1990s and the 2000s. It is a pity that Mitsubishi stop producing this iconic rally gems.
Miss when people bought them instead of SUVs and trucks
And now they spoiled the name Eclipse by attaching it to a SUV...
I love old cars like this Subaru and Mitsubishi because of the simple design and performance of these amazing cars
If you love cheap plastic....
@@slayjay77 You are just a salty hater. Those cars were destroyed everything in the past including overrated Porsches. You seem to know to nothing about cars history.
Even today with some tune, they still destroy super and hypercars. Not cheap plastic, but analog ftw.
@@RiasGremoryS54 they definitely did not "destroy" everything. They were cool looking and sounding but on the inside...cheap plastic 😁😁😁
@@slayjay77 well like every other car of their era
@@slayjay77 what else would an interior be made of at the price it cost? Marble lol
One of the greatest rivalries. Doesn’t matter which u prefer, u learn to respect em both
同感です
Ok bro
"If in doubt, go flat out"
This episode shows exactly why every car I own has 3 pedals, a Inline 4 or 6, and a turbo. They came at the peak of interesting, fun, soulful cars. And turning the key makes every trip an enjoyable experience that will never be match by any amount of horsepower or bench racing statistics.
Beautifully said my lord..
Yeah its like owning a watch you wanna wear all the time,
its expensive, other people look up to it, it makes you proud to own.
What's wrong with a flat fou?
Under 14 seconds is actually really fast for a couple of 20+ year old legends like these, epic cars
I actually think the time the EVO did is the actual time quoted for it when it was for sale . I have one and the guy that had it before me had like all the magazines and books on the Tommie Mak (which he gave me, the legend) , and in the Magazine ("Speed" i think it is) has its actually 1/4 mile time and im sure it was 13.6 sec. So that Evo's in good nick. Mines doing 11.5 sec, but thats from the 500hp it has (daily drive mode) the in cabin Apexi hand held , i can change on the fly , and put it up to 650hp , but ive never done it, no point, 500hp is scary enough lol , ive never actually had it a full open throttle on boost in the 6 years ive had it. 100% serious, swear to god. My old Sti my00 (yes ive owned both these cars here lol) was i think 430hp , but i used to love doing highway merges in that thing wide open throttle screaming in , sounded great , actually the sound is the only thing i miss , the EVO has better gear changes , no wierd drive train clunks , and Every thing is near bullet proof on it , unlike the Subbie , which everything was fragile. Much prefer the EVO, so do my kids actually lol. Not my wife but , she doesnt like it , she didnt like the 'Red with stickers' so i got a Silver with no stickers , which she's never driven it anyway , so i should have just got what i want. That and id be about $200k better off , because thats what they go for here in Australia lol. Only paid $20k 5 years ago so cant complain i suppose lol. Beast of a car for $20k , with about that again in mods , and then a sound system , i got a bargin.
@@thenextbondvillainklaussch3266 cool story bro. What a hero
Ahh... back when cars had SO much soul. I remember when that Lancer was competing with my all time dreamcar the RS4 B5 Avant (same era) back in year 2000 in a Swedish magazine Teknikens Varld. Very close match, but the Audi won. I read that one like 200 times. 15 years later, I bought my very own RS4 B5 Avant. Memories
I'd hope it would beat it with 50% more displacement, an extra turbo and double the price tag lol
@@Mantenner Exactly. I would love to see the RS4 vs the evo in backroads.
@Auditography
Bro
Are you seriously comparing an understeering wagon to arguably the two best rally based road cars? Sorry you re delusional
@@georkl8454 Despite my previous comment, sometimes liking a car is subjective. And if his preference is straight line speed, or more straight line based race tracks then fair play to preferring the RS4. Not everyone wants to carve up the twisties, and not every wants to be a red light speedster. Differing opinions is what gives us variety.
I’ve never understood this soul that blokes look for in inanimate objects
Please keep on bringing these kind of old school drag races, It is way more fun than to watch than newer sophisticated cars
I once saw a WRX and a EVO race on a freeway once. It looked like two sleeping giants going at it again
Yes, more content like this!! We love 90's car 🔥
I've emailed them and asked If they want to use my MK1 nissan primera eGT in a drag race, rare as rocking horse shit these cars.
The dream car to get on this show has to be a late 90s/early 2000s Nissan Skyline R34 V Spec II
Exactly. Seeing unattainable Lambos and Ferraris isn't interesting anymore.
Plz plz plz plz more content like this get the Earl 90s cars
These were the years where your driving capabilities really mattered and not just depend on the AI computer chips to do all the driving for you.

Gods work! thank you for saving us from ADwow
I really like these races where Yani is with you. Your alls camaraderie and enjoyable banter back and 4th make for really enjoyable videos.
Amazing to see classics like those on the show. Manual transmissions really make these races seem more intense!
Saying these cars have “280hp” is an inside joke . You know what else had 280hp ? Every car made in Japan during this period including the GTR and Supra .
Yeah most people say these made a little over 300hp
*276
In the late 1980s, the number of road fatalities surged. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport, which had been watching the horsepower competition of automobiles until now, also requested Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association(JAMA) to regulate horsepower. JAMA has set the upper limit of 280 hp, which is the self-regulation made by Nissan, because setting a value lower than the horsepower of products already on the market will force the specification to be changed. Since then, JDM cars equipped with an engine of 280 hp or more are no longer type-approved.
However, manufacturers such as NISMO and STI, which are not members of the JAMA, have released vehicles(Nismo 400R, Impreza S202) with a maximum output of 280 hp or more, and these were treated as modified vehicles and were not subject to the regulations.
That's because why '80~'00's cars have 280hp.
“276”
gentlemans agreement
I love when you and Yianni race together. It's so naturally funny
It's the chemistry between them, it's perfect. It's like Paul Walker (rip) and Vin Diesel, we all know which is which 😄
This vid takes me back to my teens. A buddy of mine had a tuned Evo 8 and I'll never forget feeling that turbo lag.
I'm an Evo (7) guy. The other day I saw a Subaru Impreza STi in almost the same shade of white as mine and we both looked at each other excitedly and smiled and waved like two boys with the same toys. I love camaraderie in Japanese car community.
Men of that generation wanted these 2 cars, we all were in love with these 2 badass cars. That was a great era of rally cars.
Yep they look so good aswell as sound mean
I was lucky enough to own 3 Impreza P1's. Awesome cars and still are today. Great video guys.
I would be awesome to see the driver switch cars each time to see what kind of time differences it makes
Ikr I thought they would do that!
👍
I agree, nice Saab btw
Yh... It's true. They should try dat
Nothing to do with the gear change, Evo is faster
Two great cars :)
Two amazing cars! Nice dragrace Matt!
Matt, I love all your content, specially drag races
But this one, is by far the best drag race on this channel, those cars are legendary
love the content, keep going 😄
Impreza vs Toyota GT ONE?
@@purwantiallan5089 now I would love to see a old Audi Quattro vs Lancia Stratos 😄
The best cars to grace Rally
I know that it is hard to get those cars, but if Matt could get that oportunity, me and for sure a lot of people would love to see it
Love this drag race between two legend cars. Impreza and Lancer Evo.
evo better
@@roboticvenom1935 L
Would be interesting to see the TME against the Japanese version of the P1. The WRX STi Type-R Coupe had shorter ratios than the P1 plus it also had the electronic centre diff lock which got it off the line more quickly. One of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned.
Perfect! I really love theese legends!. So fun too see manual and old school turbos. Love it!
Still have my P1 after all these yrs and still loving it. ❤️
Congratulations, you're now rich!
@@jonwebb9261
I know! These were never cheap cars but christ, they've appreciated viciously!

🤯 Oh my god I haven’t been this excited for a video for a while!! Thank you for making this video AND having Yianni!! 😄🍻
I love the variety of cars on this channel
Not only cars btw
I love both of these cars!
Was always an Impreza fan (had two), Evo was the enemy but I’ve grown to love them as they also rock!
I had an Evo 6 GSR back in the day and the Impreza was the enemy for sure lol !
@@peter8084 yep I was an evo man, didn’t even consider a scooby.
Hey,I own a Evo V and wrx STI 2012, and the V destroys it in ALL aspects of “Fun” driving ,where the STI is better - is on the freeway being a 6speed and having comfier seats and a sunroof 🤣..
I’ve been fortunate enough to own near every series a WRX that’s been released,along with the EVO.
Out a them ALL- the Evo V is by far the much more fun/capable car.
Thankyou
@@billolsen5401 your comparing 2 cars built 14 years apart? 🙄
@@davconelectric yup and the Evo is better 👍🏻
Making me miss my old Evo VI. Great to see these two competing here.
Great content CarWow- people like to see these legendary rivalries, evo 6.5 is still the pinnacle of the 90s rally car!!
This is easily my favorite kind of race. Great choice of cars guys
The TME is some of the most beautiful cars ever produced! Double spoilers and integrated front "cannards". The pinnacle of rally homologation, a description not far from the truth considering it WAS the last car produced by Mitsubishi for homologation.
It is also matched and tied with the 22B for similar reasons.
It didn't even get close to the 22B mate. Never did, never will. Don't kid yourself.
And it's not even in the same league visually, as the pumped guards coupe that the 22b was,
Your Mitubishi Lancer was just that. A lancer.
Weapons grade driveline, no doubt, but still just an ugly duckling with a bunch of electronics and a turbo under the skin.
The Suby was an actual drivers car, all day. Made the noises, made you work for it, had the looks, and took the titles. STI > Mitsubishi everyday.
Seems a bit disingenuous, the mitsubishi won the drivers championship 4 times in a row, the subaru won only 1 during these 2 cars respective periods. The subaru won more constructors championships at that time over mitsubishi. But to say one is more or less superior outside of your own personal opinion on style seems a bit off the mark.
Ive owned/own both , the Tommie mak i have atm, the Subbie i sold like 2 cars ago in 2008 , my mechanic had my WRX Sti my00 more than i did , the Evo's been to the mechanics once in 5 years, and it was a cam angle sensor , which just degrade from heat, having line of sight with the turbo (you can actually buy little heat shields just for them lol)
Only thing i miss about the subbie was the sound , and the interior. The Evo is near bullet proof. I love it. When the Subbie would step out on boost , it stepped out ....... when the Tommie Mak steps out on ya , the AYC kicks in and sorts it , before your brain even has a chance to react. Only happened a few times in the wet (500hp) but never got the chance to do anything the car sorted it out lol
Would i swap it for a 22B though ........ shit it would be a tough choice , but , to be honest yeah id go the 22B and just drive it carefully lol both have the mad flared guards , but the 22B and the look of those 99/00 WRX's are just perfect. Actually the 22B body and interior + a modern STi engine , matched to the Evo 6/TM gear box and clutch and front mount intercooler, and its cold air intake, and its AYC..... perfect!
This one of the best videos I’ve been waiting for from carwow 😊😊❤️

More of this sort of thing, please Matt!
Races like these are way more interesting than all the super SUV races. Thank you for the content!
Carwow keep up these amazing drag races your drag races are really amazing and funny
My first car out of college was an 86 Wolfsburg edition GLI. It only had about 100 HP but damn it was light and fun. My favorite thing about it was the manual crank sunroof.
Probably best video in a while. Supercars are fun but these vids are putting driver against driver which is pretty exciting
i love this race. that nose dip when changing gear is such a classic
Epic! More stuff like this between old rivals.
hello matt I love your channel it is very funny and I love the cars that you upload to your videos I hope you see this so that you always remember that you have a number 1 fan
I love so much these two lines (especially the Evo V from the Mitsubishi side and the GDB from the Subaru side). I hope one day I can buy the Evo V GSR
Whoever is editing the videos is doing a great job! Keep it up! 🔥
It's Matt
Mat: "Good gear change"
Yianni: "His gear change is rubbish"
LOL
Nice vid! Next you can do the Lancer evo FQ-400 VS Subaru inpreza wrx sti s40X
Yianni...looking real good! Working out? Love your channel, as well as Matts.
This gives me soo many memories from playing any type of race games when I was a little kid, thanks for always bringing the best content!!
telling me Yianni actually managed to do a drag race and not "Bog down" on launch...wow I'm impressed...and in a manual car too!!
He definitely bogged down in the Evo. To get either to launch properly you need to slip the clutch.
@@DanRClio AWD cars are notoriously difficult to launch properly. Needs an utter lack of mechanical sympathy to get these off without bogging down. 5500rpm launch for mine, and that is with timing retard launch control which allows me to build up to 5psi of boost at launch. Snapping axles and shattering centre differentials always a possibility. I actually drive through the water box before launch, to get some tire slip.
@@4G63TDSM yep having owned the Impreza I know exactly what they’re like. Not really fair on the owners to launch them too hard off the line
cool to see the guys enjoying this great vid
I owned a bog-standard Impreza Turbo 2000 back in the day. Every time I went out in it I was Colin McRae. I so wanted a P1 but couldn't afford it at the time. I loved that car.
Iv been in two p1ns and had the pleasure of driving one of them ,the steering was incredibly accurate, absolute loved it... oh and a rb5 but iv never driven a Tommy Mac edition Evo, just the Evo 8 .....I absolutely love all of them . Can you imagine the fuel bill now though 😳 that Evo did £10 in like 5 minutes of fun 🤣
I once was with a guy and he had to move his evo to another parking spot. Started it up, moved it, shut it off and the engine was still running for some minutes after the car was locked. Nuts.
@@Pronoob1218 thats an old school turbo timer, it keeps the engine running for a couple of mins after turning it off. It is dope
Im driving one of those evo's at the moment. Let me tell you the fuel bills are fucking silly with these new prices...
@@strongerandwiser2023 as a subaru sti driver I do not have that issue, mainly because its always broken
@@VictorioLopes they were all the rage for a period of time. Complete unnecessary yet so many insisted on having one.
You have to put this cars in a circuit and do some lap times comparision.. that would be awesome!
PM Alberto, i bet these cars when matching up in a circuit race could be all more interesting.
PM Alberto, i bet these cars when matching up in a circuit race could be all more interesting.
The Japanese speed limitor of 120 mph is probably what killed it for the evo. That thing was rocketing up to speed way faster than the subie but ran out of headroom too early.
And yes given the age, wear and tear, and tolerances it’s probably banging off the limitor closer to 180KPH VS 193KPH, totally reasonable.
Been waiting for this
Love these races... Keep em coming kids!
Matt!!! love these matchups! Old school cars that had soul and set the precedent for the techno machines of today. No soft limiters here😎
Had A V2 STI RA about 15 odd years ago.
Closed deck block, dccd, plate rear diff, sprint ratio box...
Was a quick thing between 20-105 mph when 4th gear maxd out at 7500 rpm.
Stuck a set of v3 4 pots and 225 45 888 Toyos and ran it round the Nurburgring in 8m30.
An incredible car to drive, so light and tactile.
Miss it
More classic races like this please. 80’s vs 90’s & 90’s vs 00’s 👍
I’ve been waiting so long for this race!🙏🏼
Me too, Stan Vos. Especially with this classic JDM cars racing each other.
This is my favorite type of drag race. Old manual sport cars. Loved it
What a nostalgic race! 😢 The good old day!
Thumbs up, loved the straight up humorous commentary

Yes you need make some changes or replace the ECU in the evo to go pass 180, can be done by a wire
I remember test driving a standard EVO5 GSR back in the late 90s. What an absolutely amazing chassis. Still a favourite car to this day. The EVO6 Makkinen edition must be sublime.👍👍👍
Hey Mat, I've watch so many of your videos, which i enjoy to the fullest. Could you do a review of a Toyota mark x or a draw race with it and a Honda accord.
2 of the greatest cars ever to be made in the 90’s 👏 that sound.
The editor of this is hilarious hahaha 5:15 specifically.... these things dont go unnoticed and are appreciated !!
More fun manual cars from the 90's, please! Like the Fiat Coupé, Opel Calibra, Opel Tigra, Mazda MX3, Honda CRX...

What a couple of legendary cars, a great video. You've really knocked it out of of the park here 💪
Aahh remember playing with these legendary cars on the PS1 V Rally. Especially the subaru. Love the 90s cars 😍
These cars were common (not anymore) in New Zealand when I was in my late teens, the Evo was always a touch faster but I always found the WRX a more entertaining drive
Nice video, awesome legends as well as the cars as the original race drivers 💪🏻
Race against each other on a short technical circuit (you can use cones) 🙌🏻
There is generation of men who followed rallying wanted one or the other of those cars. Influenced by the legendary C McRae and T Makkinen.
It didn’t get any better than that, that was the pinnacle of the sport of rallying!
i have a turbo subaru and simply love it just fantastic and changed my life for the better = up grading it al the time - super fine
Mattttttttttt, how dare you😞! Seriously in all the Carwow vids i have watched i think this one has wowed me the most, my absolute favorite, i guess because i had an imprezza like that one, not exactly! Yianni my man, i didnt know you were mates with Matt - But you put on a greeeeeaaat show Sir, thank you. I still am a diehard Soob fella!
2 absolute legends, thank you
We would like to see more EVO’s and Imprezza’s drag race please :))
Yeah, well I'd like to see idiots stop putting apostrophes in plurals.
Good to see these legends battle again!
Great race. I liked the cars exterior and impressed by specs despite small engine displacement. They should be with automatic transmission - this way switching revs is faster, hence the acceleration is faster.
The drag race we all waiting for is a bicycle race between Yanni and Matt
5:36
Mat: Good gear change
Yani: His gear change is RUBBISH
LMFAO
Yes! I forgot that cars built for rally with sharp corners banging through 1-4 gears are great for top speed drag racing
It's about damn time. Been saying for a few years they needed more import cars. Gimme more of this CARWOW.
I wish Mitsubishi can go back to making icon cars like these instead of those crappy cars now
Lol if they kept making cars like the Evo and such they would be all hybrid/EVs and then you would all be complaining. Better that Mitsubishi let the Evo go off with a bang rather then letting it live out to be a sad EV 'performance sedan'.
@@nanan_hello imagine if R36GTR vs Impreza 1999 in a drag race.
@@nanan_hello first off my guy I have a Evo 10 and looking for a Evo 9. I'm not one of those people that just talk cars, yes I understand they would of had to made it a hybrid/electric all I'm saying is they could of at least give us a Evo 11 the big hoorah before everything goes fully electric
@@michaeljordan7733 There is a reason why there is the Evo X FE, final edition Evo, so no going back now, they even stopped making the lancer too. Also think of how they would style the Evo XI, not sure how it would come out looking. They definitely won't be going back to CT9A or CZ4A styling, no way with the CP9A or CN9A too, too minimal for what they have now other than the mirage, but the thing looks like a bean if I'm going to be honest. I'm planning on getting an Evo 4 soon too. It would really be a surprise if they did but just with the things I have presented, I don't think it would be a good outcome.
@@nanan_hello true but it's the same thing I was thinking about the mercedes gull wing doors. The last black series had it and I think they should of had it on the latest black series too

As for the brake test, as far as I know the P1 has ABS (the Japanese GC8 Type-R doesn't) and I don't think the Evo does either.
