Default WRX and WS6

... in a field. Now before I get flamed, my friend in the WRX did it first and I went along for the ride. Seeing how cool it was, I wanted to try knowing that my car had no place in the dirt I tried it anyway. As you can see I had trouble building speed up, but it was awesome. So flame away and enjoy the vid. Its on his forum by the way, heres the link :

I really like your car...that pewter/black combo looks great. Before any flames, everyone must know you only live ONCE and have to live like that...that is how i live...live it up', have fun...ya' know? Well, are those the ceta rims on your car? and did you paint the bottom fender and breaklight fixture yourself? Car sounds real good, you mind tellin me your exhaust setup?

Thanks, they are CETA wheels and center filler, but the car is actually silver. I had a bodyshop paint it for me. Got it done cheap since the dealer that I work for uses them for all our work. I have PPC longtubes, ORY, and Hooker exhaust.

That's funny. Your car sounds very nice. I tried it in the camaro once when I first got it and the wheel hop put a stop to that real quick.

that looks like that would be a lot of fun to do, at least once in the car's lifetime....not really much stuff to run into, no one else to endanger....

only i woulda built up a little more speed before i did it, to at least get a good 360º or a little more.....

well, he clearly realizes that an f-body is not meant for off-road, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun with it....

Yeah it was even better being in the WRX, AWD rocks. I was a little worried about building up speed like him (not like it was easy) since I have only like 3 inches of clearance between my exhaust and the ground. It actually hit a couple of times. Don't think I'd do it again though, the car was a mess. The pictures don't show how messy the car really was. That little pile of dirt came out of my bumper.

Main thing is you did it off road and did not put anyone at risk. That makes it cool in my book, though not drenched with sagacity.
