Cool story bro

Slushbox FTW!

I have a hard time believing it. Grandma in the 350 or a couple of guys filming a goof. Worth a couple of laughs at the very least.

Actually, this doesn't surprise me at all. One of the first things you quickly learn at a track day is that driver skill is way more important than the specs of the car on paper.

Two of my favorite track day videos are me getting around a 2005 Corvette in my old 2006 VW GTI, and me running down and passing a 911 Cabriolet and a 911 Turbo S Cabriolet in my measly 275 HP Boxster S at my local track. YMMV, of course.

I completely agree with THX138. A great example is when I attended the GT350 Track Attack program. Everyone had the same car setup. I actually lapped a guy on the final run of the day.

Everyone has different driving skill levels and for all we know that could have been that GT350R's first time on a track or even the first time for the driver to ever track a car. Or possibly the first time for both.

I'm by no means a professional race car driver, but I do think that anyone who has ever tracked a car would be pretty quick to point out the same...40% car and 60% driver ;)

so a average driver pushed his tires to stay with a bad driver that didn't push his car much. OK.

Sweet A-pillar on that Subaru!

Calm down OP, it's not that serious.

 

[VinnAY]

wow impressive

 

[Side_Pce]

Embarrassing? The point of a track day is to learn isn't it? not a surprise he's not Mario Andretti. Impressive driving by the Subaru pilot.

 

[Voodooo]

This reminds me of Camaro and other car owners that drive non mustangs saying they just blew the doors off a 5.0 mustang not knowing it was a V6 mustang instead. Lame.

Weird that you can't hear any engine noise on the scubaroo, tire squeal yes, but engine no.

 

[Hack]

The R was loafing around. I went in thinking that a modded WRX could potentially be fast, but that may have been a stock one. You could easily see in the video that the R has much more cornering grip than the Scooby.

 

[Bossing]

Nothing embarrasing nor exciting in this vid.... it's a track day whee folks push streetcars 5/10ths to 8/10ths. Put a Spec Miata there going full tilt with an advanced driver and he'll lap everyone.
