Exactly what I was thinking…I wonder how he’d do in D1. It would be a new avenue to explore by the subaru team.

all he did while leaning out the window is brace his foot on the gas(which keeps the vehicle moving) and hold the wheel to the degree(angle) he wants the car to spin at…let me borrow and STI(rob) and it can be done…what impressed me the most is him saving(when he starting going backwards) himself by putting it in reverse and whipping it back around, most people are not coherent enough to accomplish that

i did that rolling 360 with my ol 4 banger mustang.

about 15 mph(only cause it would spin the tires in 2nd gear) drop the clutch and do a 180 spin, slam reverse and turnt he wheel the other way, back into 1st turn wheel other way… = rolling 360, its pretty sweet but its deff hard on the car.

You have said that you didn’t have a liscense in the past i was just adding to the fact that i woulden’t let ANYONE drive my car like that. I have let numerous people do auto-x runs in it but that sort of abuse is not gonna happen. By the way whats with the attitude and the 1/4 mile comments? No one has a 10 second sti and i sure as hell ain’t gonna be the guy to do it to mine, its my daily driver and the payments are mine alone.
