You'd need a AE86 to do that, as WRX's are understeering pigs.

Ken Block is a professional rally driver.

actually it's an STi, which lets you control rear bias.

That's funny, I never had a problem with understeer. I never remember anybody in the club talking about it. I never remember drivers plowing at the few Auto X races I attended when I had the car.

I do remember the first four-wheel slide I did in the rain. I also remember heading to a big vacant lot when wet to play with it, and later, some attempts on dry pavement in the same lot. Nothing like this, obviously. Nothing even close, but a very fun car to mess around with, even in 1st US Gen nearly-stock form.

Some poeple ahve born advantages. The late Jimmy Clark who drove formulka1 was said to be able to read a 45RPM record lable easily while it was turning.

Damn....my tires cost around $1500+ a set installed so um....I guess I will take it a bit easier than some of you.
