Drag Race: 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R vs 2023 Outback 2.4T

Love the comparison many more please.. P.S how about a 2.0 focus vs the new one

Would be interesting to compare the new turbo Outback vs an Outback 3.6R Premium (my wife has one). The 3.6 engine is impressive for what it is an it's intended function.

3.0r EZ30D ftw;)

In the 05 sports mode are you manually shifting or just letting it fly on its own?

I noticed that the older model has the SAME gloomy, depressing, drab, boring, outdated, coffin like interior colors as the new model.
Those interior colors looked great in 1990, but now 34 years later it looks cheap with no class.
People are sick and tired of those Old interior colors, but automakers really don’t give a crap about what their “Valued Customers” want.
Thank goodness our Outback has Ivory interior and our Forester has saddle brown interior colors.

Should pit the new XT against the Liberty GT. In the North American market Outback could be optioned with the 2.5t engine, which I think would be more fair.

The current XT is faster, more efficient, more practical, safer and better built, so the one you should buy is obvious: an 05 to 09 clean Outback H6 😂

Awesome video!! I owned an 05' Outback too (with the 2.5L Auto however), was an excellent car - miss it heaps. Great to see this one in such lovely condition.

Glad I found your channel as I'm a long time follower on your other channel.
Love the content. Do more of these drag races and 1/4mile time.
Where are you based?
Get more old cars and do drags. ❤

nice

Just on the flat 6 re: boxer, meh never a fan of these engines, the turbo will have more bottom end punch but wont push 7,000rpm like the boxer 6 can.

the other difference is CVT v torque converter. clearly the CVT without needing to upshift has the advantage.

I have that same Outback.. same year... not a bad car when you care for them

no replacement for displacement ...

My mum and dads 1989 corona station wagon used to do those speeds back in the day. Not when mum and dad were in the car though 😂

Stumbled by the channel when the outback video was recommended. Didn't realise you had your own channel now - instant sub

Awesome video, keen to see more!

classic video! love Outbacks old and new but the oldies have a great charm to them

haha love it. The FA24 may have gotten the win as expected , but it'll never match the sound of an EZ30 on song :D . That said , with a the 6 speed man behind the EZ, can almost guarantee you would have turned the tables times wise.. the old 5EAT , esp in first gen is a bit doughy. Miss our Gen4 3.0 outback dearly, but thankfully I do still have a spec b 3.0 (man) in the stable

-edit, also big credit to your parents for looking after it so well.. it's mint!.

Just loved it............plz do more such content..
