I couldn't find any online videos of a Subaru Crosstrek 1/4 mile drag race performance. Thus, I had to check it out for myself and do a video on it.
DISCLAMER: these test runs are for this specific car, under that day's specific conditions, and does not reflect the performance of any other Subaru Crosstrek.
THE TRACK: a NHRA 1/4 mile drag strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway called "The Strip". The event; MIDNIGHT MAYHEM from 5 PM to Midnight in June 2019.
THE CAR & DRIVER: 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Limited, all stock, no modification, no tuning and a full tank of gas. Driver is not a experienced Drag racer. And, to avoid any fails, I reviewed the Drag Race format and procedure at this track for this event.
THE RUN TIMES: were about the same. Reaction time was consistent. That click sound you hear in the video as the light turns yellow, and green is my foot sliding off the brake and putting the pedal to the metal. Their is a noticeable lag when the throttle is floored. Almost one full second before the car reacts.
There are things I could have did to prep the car better for the track. Like less weight for fuel, remove spare tire and air filter, and get a tune with those computer devices. And, wash the huge amount of dead bugs off the front, and give it a good wax and polish for more aerodynamics.
Nevertheless, the goal was to see how the Crosstrek does at the race track. To it's credit, it wasn't the slowest car racing that night. The experience was a lot of fun to drive down a NHRA 1/4 mile drag strip. But awkward to be racing against 12 to 15 second muscle cars. Perhaps the slow performance is why there are no Crosstrek Drag race videos online.

The unbridled raw 148 horsepower of the Crosstrek is something that must be felt to be believed. It looks like you had fun though!

Actually it’s 152 now they got a few more hp out of them in 2018

It has a much beefier engine if you don't buy the pussy edition. Why anyone thought putting a 2.0L in a 3000lb car is beyond me, but the 2.5 is honestly pretty decent.

@@gelatinous6915 no it isnt. Still weak and slow. A mazda 3 with 155hp and little 2.0 will still blow the doors off of the 2.5 crosstrek.

LOVE IT! :) Did you see the off road 0 to 60 I did last year. LOL I was laughing so hard doing it. The Crosstrek would actually be a good bracket racer...probably perfectly consistent. I found the car to be quicker with the CVT doing the shifting too. :)

Thanks Rick. It was embarrassing but a lot of fun to race the 1/4 mile. With some dyno tuning, it could go faster. But, your Porsche 996 would be a much more fun on the 1/4 mile, and the inside track at LVMS. Great videos you have by the way of the 996 doing the race track, and the Crosstrek doing the 0-60.

Just curious, but why oh why would you ever think to start in 2nd???
@toxictabasco
@toxictabasco 5 лет назад
Good question. It's a CVT, where 1st gear is really high, and the manual says from standing start, it can use 2nd gear to start. Thus, for chits & giggles, I gave it a go. Big failure though as I shifted to 3rd too soon with the paddle shifter.

@@toxictabasco that run killed me man! Had me giggling! A 23 second pass hahahaha I've got a 5 speed '14 xv, drop in air filter, 2.25" catback to a 4 inch blast pipe. It's the slowest thing I've ever driven, but I love it! I'm stoked you got it to a track, I really want to just for the laughs! This video was awesome

It's all in the engine, cvt has little to do with it. The jerk curve can be slower, but it can make up for it with better optimized ratios. This guy is driving the weak engine model too, the 2.5L version is much faster.
