Travis Pastrana’s 862hp Subaru STI vs Chris Forsberg’s 1,300hp GTR Powered Altima // Flying Finish
Welcome to Flying Finish, a THIS vs THAT special where we race Travis Pastrana’s Gymkhana 2020 Subaru WRX STI against the widest array of cars that we can find. BUT, there’s a twist… at the end of each run, Travis jumps his car at 100+ mph. Why? Because he can. On the exact same ramp he used to jump at the top of 6th gear in Gymkhana 2020.

Our first contender is none other than Mr. Chris Forsberg in his 1,300hp capable GTR swapped Nissan Altimaniac, a car built to party - but it also happens to be very, very fast. Is TP’s AWD system enough to make up for the power difference?

Travis: Remember when Ken flew through the finish Everyone else: 😮😬 Travis: Me neither
Shots fired 😆
So Ken needs to bring one of his rally cars too is what you say
Where is the Shannon Sharp face for Travis
Ken block: challenge excepted!
he really called him out
“ Remember that time ken flew the car through the finish me neither” Travis is a savage 😂
SCOTTO THATS THE WRONG ENERGY DRINK
Now Ken has to do it lmao
RIP Ken
can we just take a moment to appreciate the "professionalism"
We didn't see any here... except for the Subaru team. Those dudes are on it.
specifically the red bull scottos sippin on
The subaru guys are so professional they brought subaru flags to set up. That's attention to detail
@@TheHoonigans I wanna see Subaru fund a new build that can compete with the Hoonicorn! Give Ford a run for their money!!!
@@daminox svx or brat
I couldn’t even see you in the rear view😂😂😂 Travis Savage
Yooo lmaooo
imagine a sleeper version of the altima pulling up next to you at a light
Imagine a sleeper version of the wrx sti pulling up next to the altima at the light .
@@footballfan7894 ..a wrx sti from the factory doesn't look sleeper and runs 13+ seconds in the quarter mile 😒
We need This vs That Ken vs Travis!
That will be legendary
Plot twist, they play chess
Same
Dirt 2 prepared me for this.
@@reverendray3036 😂 3 rounds drag like now + extra bonus round will be a special rally stage designed by both Ken and Travis! The budget will be unlimited of course ;)
When you get into cars, and start learning more about how they work and what they’re capable of, only then do you realize just how spectacular it is for something to be able to make jumps like this
absolutely, people keep saying "thats what its designed for" that doesnt take away from how spectacularly insane it is
@@alalal123421 The car is also designed for just about everything else. It's a literal motorsport swiss army knife and excels at it all.
"this is how the vehicles assert dominance" Yes.
who needs grip when you can do a 1000ft burnout instead
grip is a mere social construct, created by tire companies to generate more revenue
@@lucassanches3568 ok
@Bitterman it was a joke....
I smell a ken vs travis matchup coming😂
Ken doesnt have the hoonicorn anymore so idk...
@@xudes11 pretty sure he does. I don't think he has the parts team to keep it rolling after every event though. Cars like that require crews to keep top notch
@@nathancooley8172 pretty surr the hoonivorn was ford property
@@nathancooley8172 it was ford property. They literally have a vid explaining the hoonicorn is gone
@@nathancooley8172 Eh since 2 people already responded I dont really have to do I? :D
The roll race: "won by two" -completely ignored that Travis gave him a present of 3/4 of a car lenght at the start LOL
It was a roll race from Chris’ pace, not a set speed. That puts Travis at a disadvantage because he’s constantly having to adjust, which makes it a lot harder for him to stay parallel.
@@therealsarlic4702 still think Travis won, Of the 2 races from the dig, that wrx boogies with its Awd. If they had rolled evenly than giving chris the advantage, I think the WRX couldve had it. Regardless love the video with the professional sportsmanship attitude they equally share, both really balls to the wall impressive mad cars I wish I had.
@@therealsarlic4702 yea, one really needs to nail the left foot braking game to minimize that disadvantage. Which i guess is not easy with such a combo of good racing brakes and 800 turbo horses and no practice.
@@joshspades9031 nah the altima was catching up both times that it was stuck spinning rubber and in the last race it was creating distance between it and the subaru that was clear as day.
It’s these types of video that make me say: “wow I just got to watch that for free. Unbelievable!” Thank you guys for making my day 1000x times better!
I love how the sti sounds like ALL the ANGRY BEES. All of them.
Like every good rally car!
All of them? Do you know how many bees are on earth? A strange statement indeed. All the angry bees? Wtf lmao
@@c.b.4916 Your reply is weirder than the original statement lol.
@@c.b.4916 I'm now curious about this. I wonder what the average decibel of a single bee flying and what number you would need to reach to equal the decibels the sti is producing. I believe I'm in a group with the guy who answered the chicken slap question, I should ask it in there.
@@Lokithehoski thank you. Exactly.
The fact that the STI can make that jump at 100+ multiple times and doesn't even skip a beat is crazy. That suspension setup is nutty.
Honestly rally cars have been doing that since the 70's or earlier, so have other off-road racers like Baha 1000 vehicles. It's still cool but not surprising at all.
Doing what a rally car is supposed to, way bigger jumps on rally courses
well the subframe is also not stock. try this with the stock subframe and it will fall apart. Travis car is not even a wrx STi at this point cause its so heavily modified.
@@james3420 it’s still a WRX STI . All rally cars are modified to be rally . You can’t rally a Stock STI need to be modified for a rally .
“I know nothing about cars” except how to drive them extremely fast
That Altima build is so freaking awesome!
I love the "remember Ken doing this, yeah me neither"
Travis and Ken are masters of throwing shade at each other.
@@TheHoonigans while scotto drinks his redbull instead of a monster
@@cavemanvi disrespectful
I remember that time ken did a burnout....
I can’t wait for Cleetus and his other C5 Corvette to go up against the Gymkhana Subaru. 🤩
I don’t think that’s his man.
Nope, that’s a borrowed ride cuz they literally broke every car that could drag race. Well everything they had on the road with them. I’m sure the stock Marauder or maybe the diesel galaxy could have...
Mullet🤷🏽
@@LuisRiveraPr00 this was filmed after LSfest and before Indy Cleetus and cars I believe... which had tx2k like two weeks before. All three LSfest cars were broken so short of showing up with a Hertz rental car, he was going to have to borrow a car.
@@LuisRiveraPr00 mullet was not even close to done at the time they filmed this
Travis is a crazy person, the race was amazing as it is and this dude is hitting a ramp at the end of the track…. 🤯🤯🤯
Travis’s explanation of the car is the best thing that’s happened on this channel, what a damn champ!
Nerver, ever, bet against a rally car launching, on any surface.
Top fuel Hold my nitro
My skateboard, hold my nuts
Rocket Sled, hold my G forces
Space shuttle: Hold my liquid oxygen

Watching these guys do literally anything with these cars just puts a huge smile on my face honestly. God bless you guys for making this happen
SAME!!!
This is exactly what I thought finishing this video
Best series on the internet
One of the best episodes yet
Travis is such a great personality Ive been watching him since I was a kid and I’ve never gotten sick of him like every other action sports guy
It’s so wild to me seeing Travis working with Hoonigan, and ken bringing Travis in on Gymkhana. I love it, though, I remember watching travis since the early 2000’s I’ve followed him since I was 5 he was my idol, and now seeing him in this setting and not letting his legacy end with motocross and freestyle but keep the torch burning like this. I know it’s my opinion but there will never be another like Travis. Not in during our lives at least
I completely agree. I remember him attempting the first backflip on a dirt bike when I was in highschool. Dude is the definition of legendary
he's a genuine wild man, its inspiring to see him trying new things
@@robertreynolds930 dare devil nation! 🤘🏻
Tony Hawk and Travis Pastrana are my childhood hero's.
@@biggybwana6304 tony hawk was a huge one for me too. As well as bob burnquist
Chris "Do a 1000 ft burnout" Forsberg is back for more! Just can't get enough of that Altimaniac! 😁
That's a solid nickname. Rolls right off the tongue.
Besides how insane the engineering and power these cars put down, the fact that STI takes that ramp and still puts down power immediately after while remaining straight is INSANE. Rally cars are no joke, favorite racing media of all time for that reason.
That was one of my favorite ones by far! The drags! The jump! The drifts! Awesome video guys!!!
Can’t wait for cleetus
I'm sayin
I’m super confused what he’s driving
El camino or leroy
Hell yeah brother
@@Sflhunter he borrowed some guys twin turbo Vette. Ruby and Leroy got messed up. He said the Vette is similar to Leroy.
Respect to the Hoonigan team they putting a lot of work so that we can get good content regularly and i must say keep it up.. sending love from Jamaica
I just wish the video quality was better. Larry chen is awesome! but He can't do photo and video both. If we got this in better image quality that would be so sick! Or even just uploading in 4k to get the extra bitdepth from youtube would be huge. Even 1080p footage exported to 4k and uploaded to youtube will have significantly better video quality thanks to the bit rate increase!
@@Pratagraph Would it really? I sometimes have 1440p footage I just render to 1080, should I just render it all to 4K?
@@Pratagraph Right?! Why they don't run a Red or an Arri Alexa in 8k and down sample it to 4k is beyond me. The production value is already great, but with a full frame cinema camera the quality of this series would be even better!
@@DennyBalance yes you definitely should. KZhead has significantly lesser bitrate in 1080p and that really affects video quality. Even when I shoot 1080p 60fps I always export to 4k KZhead preset on Adobe premiere. The uploaded video quality is much better I've compared and they're night and day at least to my eyes.
@@kali6651 they may not have the budget for it in this series to have someone man an arri Alexa. But Larry Is already shooting on full frame cameras or at least it looks like it from the little snippets we see him shoot in the video. Just the mere adjustment in export and upload will lead to much better quality!
You guys are killing it. Great content every time.
One of the best drift car races I've ever seen 👌🏾
Predictions: Me: “Y’all do know it’s presented by Subaru, right?”
Pretty much its arrange for the sti to win
Altima is a drift car so ya, gona lose almost every time. Same for most other drift cars. IDK why they match em up with other cars that are much more drag capable, id rather watch 2 similar vehicles go at it.
@@callmetatersalad132 the thing is it’s like a run what you brung type of thing and these guys agree regardless of the disadvantages...
@@sir.lithium81 I never said they would disagree, just that a bit of planning on who arrives on what day would make races make more sense. They already do it a bit as you can see with the big names going head to head sometimes.
yup just like the serie sponsored by forza or ford? with hoonicorn, the hp tuner episodes where way better cars no bais
Respect to Travis for the better mind game. Setting it all up with the partial Spicy comment and riding it to victory with the humble dis after the first race. That's winning. Use all the tools.
This is all I ever wanted! I feel some STI dominance coming!
Absolute pleasure watching the final donuts!
Travis: "Why wouldn't you make it extra spicy" Also Travis: "this car has been so bullet proof
Is that our favorite Florida man in the end 😲
Maybe 🤔
Yes but without Leroy.
@@supedupcoupe6690 Leroy wouldn’t make it down that track it isn’t prepped and their new setup is WAYYY too spicy it breaks loose on prepped surface
@@DylanG561 so he would drive it while wheel spinning. Everyone else has.
Best episode in a while. I’m simply amazed
Thanks for bringing Travis on here 👌🏼
The editing the way the crew flows with the lines and jokes, honestly, the most unprepared professional vids on KZhead 😎
Scotto 😂 “we should go race before we lose our jobs” Also forsberg is the man 👍🏽
drink monster instead of a redbull and you might keep your job there pal
@@cavemanvi I didn’t even notice that 🤣 thats a woops
Love the bolt laying on the ground near the ramp
Im in love with any STI. ❤️
12:05, "I couldn't even see you. How far back were you back?".......😨🔥🔥🔥🔥 On another note, I think the Altimaniac needs AWD, although those burnouts are FANTASTIC!
Not to the AWD. This is not Forza. That would make the Altimaniac loose its heart and purpose.
It's a drift car so why AWD
The fastest cars in the world are all RWD. He really needs a good MOTec tuner to bring that power into control
Subie Gang. Im here to support the STI and the human driving it.
Subies need all the support they can get mostly since they blew they head gasket and timing chain and are scrap now
Subie gang sheeeeeeeeesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Subie gang here, reporting in and hitting my vape rn while watching🤘
Subie for life!!! 🔥🔥🔥💙
The fact that travis pastrana is in a subi now is so fucking sick
Both those cars are so insane! I'd love to drive either one or any of the other cars that have been on here. Love it!
One of the best races 👏🏽
Watching them do tandem donuts at the end was pretty cool.
HERE... in the wildland of the Hoonigan airstrip we see two magnificent beasts attempt to assert dominance over each other. Listen to the noises. How beautiful 🔈 🎶
That was cool . Can't wait to see more of Travis 🤘🤠 the guys just flat out crazy
I cannot lie, travis' reaction time is impeccable
HELL YEA BROTHER, CLEETUS ON THE NEXT EPISODE!!!!
But not ruby or Leroy :(
@@TheAlmightyTuj Donny will kill it
@@tunerimpala5658 It's not Donnie either, I believe it's a friends car. He mentioned it in one of his Vegas videos after both Ruby and Leroy broke.
Easily the 2 coolest cars you've had on the show so far. Should do some more stuff with trucks now or a mix of both! Great Episode

@@tygermccullough8865 now that people have figured them out, the fa is a better platform to build than the ej. The current cars with fa’s need more supporting mods to make power though so it’s a toss up
@@bartleskeet1623 all problems can be resolved. Want to know the best part about EJ's being 25+ years old? All the flaws are known and solutions exist. Don't be an idiot every car and manufacturer has it's problems.

Fantastic episode!
"better known as a Doorgy" bruh
I’m goin w the Subie, awd vs rwd, rally car: shorter gears, faster acceleration.
Yeah, much more suitable for a drag race. Chris's altima is for circuit, time attack if im not mistaken? Awesome machine tho, incredible actually.
@@RGV2300 its a drift car they even mention that in the video
That altima damn. Love the burnouts and the rolling run
Whaaaat this was insane you guys have the best job ever!

@@astro_rocket_texan ha
I am from Travis’s home town, and literally we all grew up emulating him. All throughout davidsonville-edgewater-mayo you find a bunch of middle and highschoolers out on dirt bikes and BMX bikes doing sketchy half built jumps and drinking energy drinks with pit vipers on and travis started it all. Like Travis, i’ve graduated to cars now but i’ll always remember where I and so many of us started and Travis is the reason.
Going off a jump to end the first race by Travis was SO SICK😎👌🏻.
Let’s goo!! Been waiting all morning for this!
yessir!!!
sickest ep so far
Alirght. I got chills when they both started in on the donuts.
You don’t realize how fast rally cars are until you see stuff like this.
I mean.... this thing is KINDA a rally car. KINDA at best
I've been waiting all morning for this moment . Lets Ken out of retirement Hoonicorn vs the STI lets gooo
Go...
Ok but hoonichorn would absolutely destroy this wrx sti
@@jacobsmeeth1 off the line would be a battle on the top end the Honnicorn all day long
I'm sure you all know Ken signed with Subaru.... so why on earth would Ken want to beat one of Subaru's drivers with his FORD? Total conflict of interest. Subaru needs to sponsor a new hoonigan build that can replace the Hoonicorn. A Subicorn? Twin turbo 1400 hp 1st gen Outback please 😀
@@mrred5260 no the hoonicorn would smash any wrx from start to finish, ffs its only a wrx..
This made my heart happy this morning.
That flying finish was AWESOME!
Yo that altima can throw down when it can hook up like in the roll race 😳
Travis "I couldn't see you in the rearview" 🤣🤣 #Savage
that ending is soooo SICK!!!
Favourite video yet
Haven’t watched this yet but 199 all day baby. Travis is a goat.
10:35 is the first race 👍
Ok that ending, Thankyou Car Gods for bringing that into my life...it bought out memories and emotions, Travis is a legend of our day and age.
We all know that the STi is a beast of a car and it was driven by Travis but never knew that an Altima can be that amazing.
Thank you for actually having good line ups. Sometimes it’s too hard to tell who would win.
That was amazing to watch. keep it up Subaru, VSC Travis, and the entire Hoonigan industries. Lots of love from Kenya.
I walked 3miles to wifi to watch this video today.. definitely worth the walk boys
necessary and for yesterday, a video of jumping on ramps with Travis and his subaru!
OOOOOOOOOH THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD! 🔥
we need the awd cutlass back for this one. that would be a close race
been watching t since i was a kid just a fan thats awsome u guys got him on hoonigen
They cut out the part where travis had to stop mid stack and get a motor swap, smoked some bearings after half a mile. Thanks subaru.
that STi probably runs the 0-60 in less than 1.5 seconds. no joke
I wonder how much moneys been put into it

I thought Flying Finnish, like Mika Hakkinen in that one McLaren photo...
@@karelpgbr I get it! 😂😂
I love how in the second Travis win, you can very clearly see a loose bolt laying on the ground in front of the ramp, lmao.
I don't know what I'm talking about but It goes real fast. You gotta love Travis 😂
It's so cool to me to see Vermont Sportscar getting mentioned in this video because I live out in the middle of nowhere and still somehow live 15 minutes away from a company getting mentioned in a Hoonigan video.
Travis knows his stuff. It comes down to weight, traction and power. Pound for pound, Subaru took it.
It can drift, and it can go off road. So yeah its a bit better over all.
Honestly Subaru really makes my favorite cars. Best all rounder, may not handle as well as a good RWD, but it still handles great and has way more grip. Better than RWD for the most part unless the rwd is on slicks, but that's not practical for daily use haha
Wow. I am very early
