Old vid. But still crazy. The subaru WRC cars have always been quite front-heavy. If you have ever seen stats on that wrc wing and just how much downforce it produces it's staggering. Although I'm not sure how much airtime someone's wingless STi will have. At least you know what to expect!


By the way.... that almost sounds like Cathy Rogers from junkyard wars/scrapheap challenge doing the voiceover.

Good save, that could have gotten really nasty if they went into those people or trees.

Why buy an STI if you are not gonna bring it out to the woods and jump it?
