Is It Possible To Spin The Tires (I received a ticket)

Hi All, I Am Going To Court On Account Of Being Accused Of Spinning My Tires At A 5mph Roll In My Bone Stock 2005 Wrx Wagon. Is This Even A Possability? I Just Need Some Feedback, That Would Be Greatly Appriciated!!!!

oh thats awesome.

I think thats a big fat NO.. maybe a 6k clutch drop from a stop, but I think you would have a very hard time to break traction on all 4 on dry pavement.

I think its only possible if your car is SUPER fast or you got some treadless tires.

maybe in the rain, but definetly not just on dry pavement, the AWD wouldnt let you do it, unless you have that much torque running to your tires but you said its stock, and i agree with Mr. Xevious with it having to be at like 6000 and dropping the clutch


FIGHT IT d00d

all you have to say is "The goal of AWD is to KEEP traction while 'spinning all 4 wheels' is an obvious lack of traction. Subaru also has the best AWD system on the market, meaning its near impossible to spin the tires on a stock Impreza. Kthnxbye."

the only subaru i have been in and have the wheels spin is a 425hp that would break them loose after the turbo spooled in first. Even then it was nothing like the muscle cars i use to do. but at 5MPH the turbo isnt even close to being spooled. the RPMs are too low to be spinning the wheels and the turbo.

good luck

o its possible... dumb noobs out there. so easy, your all pathetic... dont you know how to rip the parking brake up giong 35 then crank your wheel, drop the brake and clutch with a RPM of 5k, then go ask daddy to pay for new steering pump, and center diff repair...

ha JK! i guess i went a little over board... but your should fight it, 5mph rolling burn out is un likely... i guess you can say anything is possible, but no not here.

fight it!!!

Give the cops your keys and ask him to show you what he saw.


Case Closed.
