Thanks for the link 

I wonder what Finnish rally drive pros would think about this drive. To me it was a real...  WOW!... eh... OMG!
I must reinstall the Richard Bursn RAlly again

Thta's funy, I started a thread today about it, went to help with the bird and found yours on the way back. This vid must fly everywhere. Quite a fun way to waste gas. This guy makes AWD look easy to drive, I'm expecting a surge in WRX teen owner accidents in the next 2 weeks.

that car doesn't handle very good, it was sliding all over the place. I think the driver needs to learn throttle control.

awesome car control

Really.  I think it was those cheap tires.  They don't grab so well, all they want to do is spin and go up in smoke.

I did something similar to that yesterday morning.  I went up a hill and hit ice at 0 mph and made my car do a controlled spin and went down the way that I came.  There were lots of cars parked on the street (I didnt not hit a single one), and it was also not possible to keep going up the hill.

A few years ago I went to the local SCCA Solo2 Autocross a few times, mainly to watch as I had no extra tires to destroy for my '05 WRX (and oh yes, you will destroy some tires in short order).  I met a guy who competed in regional races and he brought his '05 WRX STI which had MANY suspension and engine mods. 

I was talking to him about Subies and he said "hop in".  I climbed in the passenger seat and belted in (5pt harness)  Even strapped in, it was all I could do to hold on.  That car was BRUTAL.  It was like being in a bar fight.  Climbing out of the car, I had the exact same feeling like just stepping off of a roller coaster.  I never looked at my WRX the same again.  I pounded on it, but not that hard.

Beasts, those things are.

yeah its amazing, this guy trains like a pilot because of G's and stuff, the whole ride i was glued to the seat lol, its a pretty wild, and definatly takes a well trained driver to use those transmissions, not your standard daily driver set up at all.
