Lots of Subaru Videos
I have posted several videos to my site that I have collected from all over the net. None of these were created by me, they are all from various other sources. Check them out http://www.thetestbed.com/carvids/
For those of you who don't think it is possible to drift or do dounuts in an STi, there are several videos that will prove you wrong. I just have to say this and if you want to flame me for it oh well. I bought my car to drive, not to sit in a garage and look pretty. Subaru's are made well and they can take a beating. I'll see everyone at the tracks tomorrow.

the reason i say that u shouldn't and it can or will hurt ur car is because when i was @ the tracks this guy droped his clutch and all u hear is tink tink tink all they way down the track then his car wouldn't go in gear after he tried to reverse and leave so he ended up going home in reverse that night.. but there are after market trannys out there that are strong so u can drop the clutch and and it won't hurt ur tranny. and i also did work @ subaru for about a yr and subaru of america did make second gear very weak so that they can tell when u slam it into second that it will break and they'll know that u were racing and they'll be able to void your warranty and thats something we learned @ work from the head mechanic..

I'm with you on the drive it like you stole it thing. I bought my car to drive hard and that is exactly why Subaru made it possible for us to own an STI. How else could one explain why anyone needs 300 hp to drive to work? If i wanted to look pretty i would have bought a Lexus or Mercedes. Oh by the way, it's pro gas saturday night and you can't run your car, but don't hesitate to come next week friday or saturday i'm sure you will see a silver STI and a blue wagon who aren't affraid to drive there cars they way they should be driven.
