I just picked up my new Subaru Outback a few weeks ago and immediately went to find a snowy parking lot to do some AWD Doriftos in. I clicked off the traction control and went to town with it… unfortunately I couldn’t get the car to do anything since the f’n stability control kept kicking in.

There isn’t a button for it on the dash and I couldn’t find anything online about it… but I’d like to turn this off for the few times I hit up some parking lots in the winter.

Fuck!!! That really ruins my fun. I was really looking forward to Subaru+Snow=Awesomeness, now it’s just lame. I wonder if there is a fuse I can pull?

That’s one car I’ve never owned, you must have me confused with someone else. I’ve owned 2 DSM’s, 93 Corolla, 02 neon, 06 Equinox, 08 Escape and the 10 Outback.

If it uses the ABS system to apply the brakes, pull that fuse?

"It was interesting that despite the nondefeatable stability control system, the Outback spun 90 degrees after passing the timers when I lifted off the throttle. "

Subaru Fail!
