Subaru BRZ POV vs Cars with Twice the Horsepower đ€ - Type R Going Off Track, Track Battles and more!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 6. 09. 2024
- First time at Pocono Raceway! The track is an oval track with a handful of road course turns thru the infield. Can a BRZ/FRS/86 make up the time lost on the long straight aways and reel in faster cars in the corners?

Love the respect between drivers.
None of that here lol
I will never track a daily, so I hope that one day I'll get a dedicated track car like an 86 to exploit to my content. Life is brutal right now for me, but I'm keeping my head high.
nothing wrong with keeping your priorities straight! I had my eye on a brz for years before I could comfortably afford it
Im using my BRZ as a daily rn and totally understand lol Iâm working hard to get myself a better to dedicate the BRZ to the track, still gotta go to my first track day too!
I hope things are better for you now man!
These videos never get enough attention. Canât wait for my first track day
yea man there's not enough track day youtubers out there imo! you're gonna love it!!
The lighter lower horsepower cars have a very big advantage in the braking zones. This is what allows them to overtake cars with more power in the curves.
It's not the horsepower. It's the fact those American muscle boats can't take corners at speed. Because they're boats.
@@d1gw33d It also has to do with the skill level of the driver. At a lot of tracking events there are people who show up in cars who don't have the skill to drive the car to its potential. I've seen it first hand.
Boats donât corner they pitch n yaw lol
Its funny how people are getting butthurt about how fast a brz can be, making excuses for the other cars.
*TLDR: A vehicle's lap times will heavily depend on the track size and layout.*
Its simple, speed around a track highly depends on the weight of the vehicle and the size/angle of the track and corners. On a small track with tight angle turns, a light car with low power like a brz or miata will dominate. On a larger track with some nice straights like sebring or laguna seca, a miata or brz would have a real tough time keeping up with something heavier and more powerful like a z06 or 911 turbo.
Facts, just straight facts bro.
love those crispy shifts. Fully in tune with the car. awesome laps love the video
appreciate it!! đ€
Crazy what a good set of pads and fluid does for a car
for real! the difference is night and day
Driving manual is art.
Shifting gears at right time is beauty.
I own a brz 2012 .. new to subaru but love her. Had prelude 5gen before wasn't bad either.
I have a 5th gen prelude right now and want to get into a brz one day
Very nice! Fond of the 86 / BRZ. You do justice to the genius that car is.
much appreciated my guy!!
I saw basically this exact thing happen at some track I was at with my Celica, there was this one BRZ driver who just SMOKED everyone simply because he was so much better at corners, he even drifted a few of them just to show off. I pray I can meet that guy in the future
I like how you drive, we drive similar, cautious but fast as possible without pushing it too far, I mean thatâs what racing is, but I have had my fare share if bad drivers and also just destroying faster cars, I drive an 86 Corolla
âNOOO! THE GT86 IS SLOW AF! IT CANâT EVEN BEAT SUVs! YOU CANâT JUST MAKE 100K CARS BITE THE DUST!!!!!â
âHehe⊠bye Porsche!â
LOL
So youâre saying you can put this car against drivers with similar skills in a Porsche ? Itâll get Fkn destroyed
@@velocitywot9573 It depends on the Porsche. I can see Caymans and Boxsters struggling against the 86, also older stuff like 944 924 but those don't count ofc. But let's be realistic the 86 and BRZ are basically budget true sport cars... they are not going to be on the same realm as a supercar...
Civic Type R going off track at 11:44, passes vette at 12:33, Porsche @ 13:25, Challenger 14:08
"Fast is smooth, and smooth is _fast._ " Nice driving, especially (IMO) not feeling the need to high-rev the thing constantly, like so many seem to do. Instead, you pick the gear you'd want to be right at the exit, and let the tires and the lower rpm carry you through the angles at a higher rate of speed. Dials you right into the bleeding traction edge, rather than just stomping on the throttle, which can be done any ol' time. Come a rainy day, or a "concerned" engine/gas tank, and you'll still be wiping up the others.
Great work sir! Ya made a BRZ fan outta me for sure! Keep screeeeechen them tires baby!
let's gooo!!
Watching these videos made me respect the BRZ. I want one now as a daily lol đ
lets gooo đ€ they're slow as shit but feel fast as hell in the corners lol
Love driving a car that can handle, nice video. I may (still a little trigger shy) be getting an 86 this year. Been making the payments to myself to start saving.
you won't regret it! I love mine
Amazing! Imagine it with an aluminum LS block. Still the low center of gravity and corner advantage, but enough hp and torque to dust them in the straight aways
LS swaps w these cars are absolutely insane but cost prohibitive. personally would just buy a vette at that point lol
No, an Ls doesnt make everything better. this car running boost would make up for the power but lose the advantages and balance of an NA engine
@@repingers9777 supercharger?
This is how you sell someone on the brz life. Goddamn this is fun to watch, i want to do this
Watched the corvette video.. watched this one, now Iâm subbed
appreciate it my guy! I got plenty of track videos coming and maybe a few other ideas to mix up the content đ
@@dadhats sick! my friend had the kansei wheels they look good. Whatâs your avg speed thru the turns? I saw you get up over 100 on straights
â@@trentel kinda depends on the turn I suppose. let's say around 70ish? I have data that shows my mph in realtime on some of my newer videos if you end up checking those out
Pocono raceway? I'm not too far from there! I didn't know they let the public drive their cars on there...
yessir check out scca track nights! I think I paid around $125 for this. they have a cheaper option too where you can drive on track much slower where you sort of just parade around the track if you just want the experience!
I love about 15 minutes from there. Awesome man!!
This layout is tougher with a lower hp rig. Both corners onto the straights are kinda slow and donât allow a lot of drive. The big sweepers off the front straight are really fun tho. This used to be the Formula USA course back in the day.
yea that part is honestly super annoying. the corner before the back straight is the worst lol I essentially can't carry any speed onto the straight :/
@@dadhats Lol. Been there done that! I guess itâs good practice to work really hard in the infield then watch a faster car motor off down the straight.
If you look at the map (north south option 2) you can see how terrible both entries are onto the straights-disregarding how bumpy they are.

this feels like a very American NASCAR track lol
yep quite literally is! it's a Nascar track with a road course paved right through the middle
Great driving, especially coming off back stretch over to front. I didn't realize my first time how fast you can take that. And POV cam is great so we can actually see you working the wheel.
thanks! that's def my fav section of this layout đ
@@dadhats I forget if it was in this video or another of yours but I had the same issue with that white C8 when I was there July 8th. Me and my Challenger aren't pushing the top limits yet but I was still stuck in a train behind him. And hitting the pits is the right thing to do when stuck like that.
My helmet cam only got my 2nd session. Windshield cam isn't as interesting although I did catch a fox body mustang loop into grass coming off back stretch in the first session. czcams.com/video/y1bxEnFG4Bg/video.html
@@h1derly745 it was a rough day lol. heard a lot of people complaining about him
Looks like a fun track! Wish I had one near me
youre going places for sure
When the drag guys get onto a circuit lol
Iâm there often too love that track
very nice! maybe I'll see you there sometime đ€
I don't use imperial so I've been struggling to understand how the heck 80km/h felt so fast in the C8 video, just now I realized it's because it was in miles and not in kilometers đ
Great video though, love the sound of that BRZ
def been guilty of the doing that, the other way around tho đ
its nice to have so much run off on this track - great driving! i run a type r as well and have def gone off lol
appreciate it! I actually went off just a few months ago. miss judged my braking point bc there's basically no braking references anywhere đ
Man you are beating the absolute crap out of that car. I wish I could do the same but my frs blew its engine at 59k
time for a kswap :)
@@dadhats if you donât mind disclosing how expensive was the swap Iâm debating swapping the engine or selling it and moving on to a new platform.
â@@antthaknee4290 oh my brz still has the stock FA20. but I'm debating about doing the kpower swap kit once this thing blows or I get bored
Man you can drive⊠Just watched your two videos đ
appreciate it bro! all that sim rig "experience" must be paying off LOL
Man I absolutely love this content, subscribed and will be tuning in to them all!
let's gooo!!
Dude knows how to drive
appreciate it!
love the varials sticker homie! i don't listen to them much since travis left but they're a local band for me hell yeah
just peeped the orthodox sticker too, love those crazy mfs
ah good eye first person to mention that! literally same lol his vocals were so sick
Awesome driving, great footage
You sir are a good driver! đ
Whatâs your wheel and tire set up? I just got kansei knp 17x9 +35 and wanted to try some track days too. What tire and profile do you recommend?
thanks! I'm running 255/35R18 on a 9.5in wheel. I haven't run 17s before but most guys I've seen run 245/40 I think
I just got a 22 86 this was a fun video! I know it is older but that was great!
glad you enjoyed it! those things are absolute weapons on the track, hope you get to experience it on the track soon!
That Mercedes is a boat on track
hey man awesome vid!! what canards were u using?
im curious, are the use of those kerbs not allowed
Great driving bud. Excellent job showing people you don't need horsepower to be fast.
However in saying that, you considering possibly turbo for a little less boredom on the straights?
I have considered it but I don't trust these subaru motors. personally I think they're a ticking time bomb when boosted and if I plan to keep the car long term I'd rather put a k24 in it.
in the meantime I have plans to continue modifying suspension/diff/sticky tires to see how far I can push this car on stock motor! when I run out of ideas for content then I will think about adding more power đ
I like your driving and commentary, however I must say that you're not nearly enough using whole of the track. Your racing lines could be greatly improved and with that your lap times as well.
thanks man! I agree, this was my first time here and was running 1:55s. I've improved since then and running 1:52s. still trying to figure out the track tbh plenty of time left
@8:54 was that Merc out for a sunday drive? Arm hanging out the window and all? Nice Driving man! Looks like you had a good time. That section after the back straight looks like a blast.
yo wtf I never noticed that đ that explains so much. thanks! its a fun track for the most part too bad half of it is a straight away lol
Love it
Bro, look for space on the track when you catch up to someone, and dont fixate on them. By the way great driving.
thanks! I def fixate on other cars bc I'm scared of running into them lmao. still learning and getting comfortable on track!
That car sounds so nicw
Tracking mine soon and looking at wheels + tires. How do 17s compare to your to 18s?
haven't tracked 17s ever so couldn't tell ya. there's plenty of people that have on the forums and 86 fb groups tho!
After all of the track days how has the air lift preformed? also do you have a track air lift setting now?
it's honestly surprisingly decent! I'm sure coilovers would be more optimal for the price but it's def manageable especially at my lower skill level. I might have to make a video about it to go more into detail since I've had a handful of people comment on them
nice dashboard
Do you adjust your rear wing so it doesnât slow the car down on the straights?
not in this video but I did end up taking some out this season. not that it mattered much I think gained maybe 2?mph at the top end
Supercharged or turbocharged brz would be insane
they are!! mighty car mods did a whole series on how potent they are! would love to turbo mine but scared it would do subaru things and blow up lmao
@@dadhats if you ever find yourself with an abundance of money please build it with forged internals it would be so amazing
@@Szcza04 hahah will do! maybe one day this youtube thing will give me an excuse to build it đ
Do you have traction control off and sports mod on in this video???
I believe I was using VSC sport most of the time. in the beginning I think I kept it on just to get familiar w the track
How did you do the custom anime dash, just stickers?
couldn't tell ya previous owner did it
Lap after lap⊠pretty reliable little thing! What was all done to it
Nvm read the description đ
That was a lot of fun to watch.
Car sounds great too.
thanks man! gonna try to do more of these
Get video great driving too.
nice wing! which is it?
thanks! rasty gt wing
hi
great fun
Q: you have oil cooler?
yep! Jackson racing oc
Do u have oil cooler install?
I don't but probably should from what I've heard
@@dadhats ya. I'm asking coz I see u tracking it hardđ how about oil temp gauge?
@@TheRed86 lol appreciate it! I'm thinking about getting one in the off season over the winter
Damn now imagine just a slight power boost
the new ones got that covered!
@@dadhats yep the new one is legit on fast now
@@mojojoji5493 I saw a few dyno videos showing they make 215whp stock. pretty crazy considering my fbo 1st gen brz makes 180whp lol
@@dadhats I know itâs just a game but In forza my car is around 230 whp in the b class races and it slaps Iâm glad this power bump is here canât wait to see the real world testing as more people get there hands on em you have a great day
@@mojojoji5493 for sure dude! forza is great fun
are you shifting 6th to 4th one at a time? you can just skip 6 to 4..... (assuming its a 6 speed). PS, did you do back to back testing to see if that "speed racer" wing made any difference to lap times?
I'm never in 6th but I def was shifting from 5th, to 4th, then 3rd one at a time.
and no I bought the wing before getting into track driving so there's a good chance it doesn't do too much lol
its amazing )
I really enjoyed watching this. Same car here! GT86
Was wondering why didn't you use 100 octane?
best I have at the pump is 93 unless I tune it for e85
are you rev matching or just downshifting??
nvm justt reached the partt in the video with rev match plus chefs kiss lol
hahaha yea car has auto rev matching
@@dadhats did it come with auto rev? or was it added somehow?
@@skunkiiee7333 added. I'm tuned on ecutek and its one of the features
@@dadhats tthats awesome. Hopefully itll be available for the 22 brz. Would love to add that feature.
can obviously see that there is no point of having shit ton of HP when your driving a boatđ€Ł

Owwwwww-wwwwwwww-wwwwwwwwwww, that was nice!
