There's a video of a Legacy towing a F150 out of snow as well.

thats pretty cool.

impreza's bleed awesomeness

i love subaru

WRX > Lancer

Sorry, but that wasn't some crazy impressive feat that the WRX did.

Power is not the issue here, it's weight and traction. Spinning all four tires in the snow does not require much engine. Between what traction the truck had and what the WRX had, it was just enough.

You probably could have hooked just about any AWD car up and it would have done the same.

agreed, but EVO > STI (last gen at least)

*Puts on flame suit*

wow that is one super subaru

why bother? You know it's just going to become a big argument and no one will win in the end.

Just be thankful the Evo and the STi exist:thumbsup:

good on the STI

STI > SEMI! my confidence for sti in snow = UP UP UP UP UP!

lol i've pulled a few trucks out of snow last year with my audi... if you got AWD and good tires, it really doesnt matter what kinda car it is

that is pure win.

i dont think crv or rav4 can do that even with snow tires.

on a side note, thats so bad for the chassis, the sti is not rated for towing, let alone towing a semi, but on the positive side, GO SUBARU POWER!

WOWW



not good for a car that isnt meant to tow heavy load tho


:eek:

Personally, I think this video is fake. Even if the truck was emply, the truck and trailer would still weight over 40,000 lbs and there is no way the STi can pulll that much weight even if the truck was spinning it's drive wheels.

Subaru power!!!!!!!!!!!

enough with this fake video crap just because you feel something can't be done or doesn't exist

Hmmm... let's see. The STi is spinning all 4 tires which means most of the power the car is making is being used to spin the 4 tires which means very little forward force. All of a sudden the 40,000 lb truck lurches forward and drives away. Right.... so this video must be real. :rolleyes:

Go look up how subaru's symmetrical awd works before u post that shit
