Adam LZ and Dave are at Rally Ranch in Texas, comparing a Safari GTR to a Subaru WX STI rally car. The Subaru boasts a 2.5L engine built by Vince Mil and features top-notch suspension but lacks a sequential gearbox. With around 300hp and 350 torque, the Subaru is a rally beast. On the other hand, the GTR, with its rb26 engine and 450hp output, offers a different driving experience.
Dave takes the GTR for a spin, impressed by its throttle response and violent speed. Dust clouds follow the GTR as it tears through the track, showcasing its power. However, Dave notes areas for improvement, such as the floor pan seals. Despite its speed, Dave finds the GTR's performance almost too much for rally driving, comparing it to a world rally car.
The GTR's straight six engine affects its agility, but its throttle response and power delivery earn praise from Dave. He appreciates the GTR's suspension performance but acknowledges the challenges posed by its design. The GTR's unique driving experience, coupled with its nostalgic feel and impressive power, make it a force to be reckoned with on the track.
