Toyota GR Yaris v Mitsubishi Evo VI - DRAG RACE *Tommi Makinen Showdown*

which is quickest in a drag race the new toyota gr yaris or an old mitsubishi evo 6 tommy macinan well we're going to find out we're also going to rolling race them and brake test them so these cars are very very closely linked they're both japanese they're both turbocharged they're both four-wheel drive they're both rally cars for the road and of course tommy mckinnon who won the wrc in a mitsubishi evo he was the team principal of toyota gazoo racing's rally team which is winning the wrc very very closely linked in fact he helped develop this very car so we're going to put them head to head and i've brought my old friend jania long to take part as well hey you know how you doing you're right hey hey mate old school old school love this proper old school i mean that car's year 2000 when i started as a motoring journalist back in 2001 it was one of my very very favorite cars i ever reviewed what do you like in there pretty basic it's basic it's got recaro seats it's got a mono steering wheel but it's cool it's fun and it's manual hello manual when was the last time you drove a manual car pass no idea let's hope i don't stall it i've never had you in a manual car i'm not even sure whether you can launch a manual car the poor clutch in that thing have you tried it do you know what to do put on the clutch foot on the accelerator lift up the clutch and away you go hands ten to two and use the mirrors mirror maneuver signal signal maneuver mirror i passed a long time ago it's mirror signal maneuver yeah maybe you should have a re-test especially when you're driving around in things with like 800 horsepower anyway listen if you shut up for a bit now i'll do all the stats on these cars because i bet you just want to go on your phone right about this car mate it's one of my classics a lancer evolution six this one call me mackinan edition two liter four cylinder 16 valve 276 horsepower 275 newton meters i've got more if you want actually no loads on this what you don't know anything about any car you don't even know anything about your own cars what you're doing you're on the internet look i haven't got a phone in my hand this is about 1.3 kilograms i know the fuel tank holds around five liters the suspension front is the first strut it's got a stabilizer bar aluminium lower arm suspension rear multi link with stabilizer bar it's got loads of stuff mate i can read all day long i mean i can rub this off all day long say i said reed wait there you go in the car lift it up do you know what though i don't mean to be an annoying get although i am very good at it i don't think the weight of that car is actually 1.3 kilos it's probably 1.3 tons it says 1.36 kilograms here mate so you basically are like ron burgundy you'll say what you see come again basically there's a typo the press kit and you just let it out brilliant okay let me do this car because i'll do it from memory because i'm an absolute car geek so this has a 1.6 liter three cylinder turbo petrol with 261 horsepower and 360 newton meters of torque got a six-speed manual we've got all-wheel drive it actually has a special motor and i can put it into a rear drive buyer so 70 of the torque going to the rear because when i'm accelerating off the line the weight will go to the back it'll help my traction i've got a special thing for the gear shift so when i'm changing daniel auto blip it weight wise 1 280 kilos so it's lighter than that car although it's not because that's 1.3 kilograms apparently anyway price wise this is 33 000 pounds that's because it has a circuit pack on it so it's about three grand that is over the standard 30 grand asking price and you get a front and rear limited slip diff definitely worth it you also get the nicer wheels which are like the einke wheels on that evo six very nice also get slightly stiffer suspension that evo back in the day about 33 000 pounds so light for like in terms of price that one now though it's mint 50 grand what's it gonna be like in the drag race well before we actually find out make sure you subscribe to this channel and please hit that bell icon to turn your notifications on that way you won't miss a single upload and before we erase let's have a sound check now it sounds quite good inside but that's because toyota plays fake noise to the speakers i think on the outside it's all just like vacuum cleanery i can hear the turbo whistling they're not faking that noise what does that sound like to you yeah because inside head sound pretty good because they play fake noises for the speakers was it crap on the outside rubbish sorry let's hear yours [Music] this revs up to seven and a half thousand as well yeah mind is seven [Music] bounce that limiter baby bounce that limiter oh paul press car let us know which do you think sounded the best down below this is having to deal with all sorts of particulate filters and stuff like eu noise rigs blah blah blah back in 2000 it was fine to just poison everybody least police things sounded good because you're coughed anyway let's race buying a new car then head to car wow and my team will help you find your next car at a fair price car wow your one-stop car buying comparison site two one oh who's off the line quicker than me what happened that was buggered what happened [Applause] he's coming back though isn't he no i'll battle him [Music] oh it's close [Music] well i won that but i think you really bogged down and my start was rubbish as well true let's do that again but i reckon i will batter you this time but it really bogged down i don't know why three two one that was a wicked start better oh this is close come on come on toyota [Applause] oh he's coming now come on come on this is so close what a race oh yeah and that was so close your launch was all right mate it was better but it wasn't as good as i know i can do i reckon i could actually wipe the floor of you as the honest truth the thing is we're gonna have to keep doing it over and over again until you do eventually beat me but i'm not sure what's gonna come first you beating me or the clutch just being destroyed and i'd rather not destroy the clutch so then what exactly happened well both cars did the standing quarter mile in 12.5 seconds however the freeze frame shows that the yaris was just ahead by the narrowest of margins but will yanny accept defeat probably not i tell you what jan you can launch it and you can do it again but i have to pay for the clutch if you are willing to pay for it i will do it if you're not bear in mind it could be three grand and you might still lose do you want to do it lego let's do it that's all on record my friend let's do it that's why i love you missed it oh i hope it doesn't go now that clutch that was worth it what happened danny bogged down again the clutch pedal is very high hasn't gone so i need to pay three grand but it is very very high we're not going to do this all day we've got other things to do right yeah hopefully i'll beat you on the second race and we'll be all right okay let's do it you ready riding race yo my bro there's a ah it's on his phone sorry bro i'm filming i'll message you back in a minute right rolling race from 40 miles an hour we're in fifth and then we're going to suddenly change down and get into a second i'll count it in you ready oh danny i've got an auto feature on my car can i use that yes or no no okay i'll turn it off right here we go three two one go oh fake was that the evo's gearbox i heard dying then [Music] yeah you're done mate bro the problem is going from fifth to second is not easy i went from fifth to fourth that's part of the test it's not just the car it's a test for you i'd rather go from fourth to second all right we can go from fourth to second i don't know whether that's going to help any of course it will because i'm already in the fourth gear so i know i can't go back into fourth gear let's try again then from fourth at 40 into second right here we go three two one go oh no come on i did a rubbish gear change yes [Music] oh my little car keep peddling keep peddling [Music] and i'm pulling i think you won that damn it yeah baby i was not expecting that the last time you drove a manual what 2002 or something i'm a motoring journalist you just kicked my ass with a downshift it has been many many moons mate but that felt nice do you know what you should do we should do a job swap i'll come and like wrap some cars and you can get and say things about other people's cars that wouldn't work because i don't wrap cars remember i can't even rap i'm an owner i'm a boss you're not the boss of me do you see richard branson flying the planes no all right rolling race from 50 miles an hour this time just in third and i'll count it in all right here we go three two one go oh my god this has got the talk cheated on the go didn't he is that coming back i think your car's coming back [Music] mine tops out like 143. can you come past [Music] we're reaching the breaking zone soon but i think you've just wow that was wicked 140 mate 140 well done baby two rolling races to you we'll forget about the first riding race when you completely cocked up your gear change three drugs to me though but let's do a brake test see if you can even it out all square why am i saying i think it's just because i love that evo six our synchronized driving is stupendous yeah okay let's get to 70 rather than appreciating our synchronicity okay great test full emergency stop when we hit the line 70 miles an hour i'm going to put down my radio now and i'll speak to you again after i've won the brake test i'd expect to win this but who knows let's see here's a light modern brakes beat all the brakes and your car's heavier even though it's older yeah that was pretty awesome love this car it is absolutely epic anyway hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching now if you'd like to

I have a problem here. On one side I dislike these CarWow drag videos because they are shit at launching so I can't understand which car is better.

On the other side I like them because I am shit at launching so it's pretty much what my experience would be.

Maybe they should add a Stig like driver.

Alright, a very spicy take: I don't really mind 'enhanced' engine noises being pumped into the cabin. I'm past the age where I want everyone to hear how loud my exhaust is, but I do enjoy hearing my car when I'm sitting inside it.

And since I'll probably won't be buying a Lexus LFA and its acoustically engineered interior within the next 3 to 300 years, this solution works for me.

Fuck it, give me that hilarious gimmick the old Clio's used to have where you can fuck around and have it sound like a GT-R.

Great comparison on how car dimensions have changed in the last 20 years. The lancer is smaller as a midsize sedan than the subcompact 2020 Yaris

[u/optitmus]

tells you just how special that evo is when it can keep up with a similar machine from 2 decades in the future

[u/mb0205]

I know most here won’t agree with me. While I know why the GR Yaris is a great car for the way it drives.. I do not like how it looks at all. I think it’s pretty ugly

[u/shabba81]

Why would launching it would break the clutch?

[u/Shingo-Shoji]

The launches are actually painful, and I hate the fact that every video of their drag races are 13 mins long ish.
