Behold, the Power of Subaru WRX STI tows semi out of snow

[TrippyMcFly43]

They see me towin, they hatin. STi power!!!!

[DSego54]

fucking sick

[blowupuate13]

IN THE NAME OF COLIN MCRAE, SUBARU BE TOWIN'!!!

[2K11WRX]

285? To the road (dry) or a base imprezza w/170 BHP ... It's all the same in the SNOW ... AWD RULES !!!

[Stiffy652]

STI POWER!!!

[ruizf22]

win!



[CUZC0M]

the car pulled the semi out because the driver is a illegal street racer and he double clutched the tranny which gave it more power to do that

[kzak104]

its like a person pushing a stuck car in the snow.... there not pushing the whole car.... just giving it enough wiggle to get it going,.

[roastedtyres]

rofl

[ProfessorDalton]

Yes, because in case noone other than samnelso has noticed, but the semi is on wheels

[amigos1996]

blue power !!!!!!!

[4thsubaru]

i have read ALL these coments but the fact is it wasn't facted i personally wouldn't put my STI through that torture but AWD is VERYNICE!! (like borat). if there is debet in power check with your jeep oowners v-6 is better for off road than a v-8 but here is just what needed to be done then :^) props ....lol i loved the snow on the roof ...it is what made it happen right???:^)LOL

[solmail2006]

Although impressive, it makes you wonder how long is Subi's clutch going to last after tow like this. 

[wrxKenny]

thats was up.



[sixstarcar]

my favorite is the foot of snow on the roof

[BoyPlantation]

he wasnt stuck bad though, just got stopped moving and once that happens your pooched with all the weight and the tires make little craters, just needed a tug, impressive nontheless though lol

[charl1300]

man i love AWD go AUDI Quattros!!!!!

[MrREMIX3000]

@charl1300 i just bought a audi allroad quattro 3 days ago and IT IS AWESOME

[Arvid25]

Now who the fuck had the idea to use the rex instead of a truck or something? 

[DJKrispyKreme]

I'd like to see an american muscle do that...Oh wait, not gonna happen...IMPORTS FOR LIFE!!

[tannersk869]

@DJKrispyKreme i love scoobys but my dream car is still a 69 chevelle even if its not as good its bad ass car

[samnelso]

@DJKrispyKreme Why, because they're rear wheel drive and suck in snow anyway? The subi was probably putting down a whopping 50hp max to the road.

[anooseholay]

@samnelso The WRX STI is putting down just a tad more power than that. Probably something like 285. Research, then post.

[ph13rwun]

@anooseholay You can't actually put that much power on the road in snowy conditions. Because of limited traction, effective horsepower is brought down to that level. That's why when you're in the snow and ice taking off gently is usually faster than hard launching.

[anooseholay]

@ph13rwun I never said you could get that much power to the ground in slippery conditions. I was only stating that the WRX STI makes a bit more than 50 WHP is all. I wouldn't try to tow anything out of the snow with my Subaru, it's not what they were designed to do.

[samnelso]

@anooseholay I doubt it's laying down close to that. The engine may be capable of producing that sure, but not putting it to the road. Remember the traction coefficient is reduce due to the snow. I don't need to research for this, it'd pretty obvious IMO.

[anooseholay]

@samnelso Traction in snow has nothing to do with wheel horsepower. The WRX STI puts about 285 horsepower to the wheels. I never said all that power was doing any good in a slippery condition, I only stated the fact that the car puts much more power to the wheels than 50 hp.

[samnelso]

@anooseholay But, I said "to the road" in my original post and that is what you DIRECTLY responded to. I'm sure it can put out 285whp, they're powerful cars. Anyway...cheers man.

[drukenhard]

@samnelso You could do a little research on how power is measured....it's either at the crank or at the wheels.....not at the road.

Even if there was no traction the same amount of power would be applied as it is at the same rev range with full traction.

Dunno who started all this talk about power anyway....1 strong person can move a semi on flat ground with good traction

[vuki011]

wow!! these cars are realy great,and not only for speed!!!!!

[MikeDofTha603]

thats great

[redmond12400]

SUBARU ROCKS.

[bittersweetneon]

That my friend....is the beauty of AWD!!!! I -3 Subaru's

[Jesant13]

That's amazing.

[ssacproductions]

Its like that scene from Jurasic Park 2 when they are towing out that huge ass truck with a lil car hahaha

[freshiesss]

That rope was pretty short can't believe they drove off safely...

[JAYFROMHARLEM]

WOW... Makes me proud to be a Subaru owner

WRX Owner

[antonnio79]

jajajajjaja hey Robert, Subaru power

[Patoche129]

Well it seems you guys get easily stuck in snow

lol

[skurh1nk]

WTF is everyone yankees here? that car cant tow a semi in this condition, why dont u fucking get it.

[massdrewski]

you are right. its all a conspiracy

[SpotterGijs]

This is great! This is filmed in my country, The Netherlands, Subaru power!!

- Gijs

[MREJ25]

3 letters  STI...

[Stugbg]

What russians??? They are DUTCH!!!

[cascadeSC]

Stupid russians need to learn the meaning of the word "tow"..

[iceman372]

Yeah, that's not a tow. It's a little help to get the truck moving. Funny video, and sure it's a little impressive too, but I can't really see a Subaru actually towing a semi, esp. not in those conditions.

[MrGLegacy]

that's a Subaru for you, got to love AWD .

[luvmakesasubaru]

doubtful, but very entertaining =]

<3 Subaru

[STiRunner90]

This is more of an ironic funny thing to me. A sports car towing a semi.

[scorpiovirgolibra]

@STiRunner90 its actually a sports saloon doofas

[KitireFel]

@scorpiovirgolibra hey dipfuck, he never said it wasnt a sedan.

[scorpiovirgolibra]

@STiRunner90 its actually a sports saloon

[im1greatman]

@STiRunner90 In the snow. lmao

[hutchy1111]

Sometimes with any vehicle stuck in the snow or ice all they need is a pull to get the momentum going. Well done the Subaru :-)

My Subaru STI is great in the snow!

[hovrashko]

I'm agree, there is no way 3000 lb car will tow 50 000 -80000 lb truck with very low traction, but it can give a torque, a lot of time when car stuck enough just to push a little bit and car will go. =)

[dietolivefree]

relabel, the torque of an STI, don't need horse power, ...now I want and STI so i can tow my semi truck ...lol

[valetdabess]

i'm pretty sure any other awd would a been able to do that

[Zukatsr125]

Im not impressed..... The truck was on the road :O

[plastman12]

I was towing MB Sprinter to the top of the hill with my FWD Ford Escort 1,6D (40kW) '90. Why? Because Sprinter is RWD and was empty. You don't need great power to tow a big wehicle. But if you have AWD, the range of cars you can help in winter conditions increase so much... It doesn't matter if you have Audi quattro or Subaru - AWD rules :D

[trancer256]

@plastman12

... In snow? Doubt that ;)

[feerof]

should i be impressed?... i ono... parts of me aren't impressed...

[iPhoneGameCritic]

Subaru is a lesbian car. Lezbaru

[jasonr1150gs]

Haha, that is SO true! I have one, btw.... but ALL the lezzas love 'em. Dyke car.

[chubbyredguy25]

Not what you think it is. The idea that the the WRX is "towing" is stupid. The truck was accelerating and only needed a slight nudge to get going *you can hear the trucks motor). Show me a vid where any car that light "tows" that much weight. That cars tires would have spun all day.

[f575gtc]

@chubbyredguy25

show me a vid where any other car that's not AWD can even give the truck a nudge like that to get it moving..

[peruface]

my next car is a Subaru

[bahneproductions]

ah dutch men

[whiteynator]

this should deffo be Subaru's next commercial!!

[djgrand2]

Subaru Power

[Smilinvamp]

That's pretty stupid... I'd hate to pay for his Transmission repair...

[Crillie]

@Smilinvamp

Maybe he was rich.

[calladuz]

rnwnfia should contact Subaru Marketing Division... it would make for some great advertising

[stugats06]

the truck was probably empty to

[euqip]

Whose idea was it to try this? If the Subie is still in warranty and the dealer sees this all "parts-and-labor" will be out of pocket from now on. I had a similar vehicle, GMC Typhoon 4.3 turbo traction sensor AWD with Getrag center diff. The owner's maunal said that if you hooked a trailer to it warranty was voided.

[Ginovasselini]

Ever heard about the contest Strongman ?? Could havepulled tat truck on my own 30yards and with some help by some bystanders we´ve done the same job.Not impressed

[liiiinder]

well... in that contest the truck ISNT stuck and on a flat surface...

[whiteynator]

in this weather? yeah I'd love to see that my friend

[FredrikI72]

Inte illa...

[TheUploader1]

I frikkin' LOVE Subaru!!

[SudakasDmierda]

fake

[Stryc9]

Personligen är jag övertygad att några någorlunda stadiga killar skulle knuffat lös den där lastbilen

[tobbelixxom]

mycket bra.

[Keelllee]

Haha! :D

[Sebbe40]
