Default Perfect.

Impreza image and their owners takes another dive.

Just to clarify this video is 4 years old..and car is beeing rebuild and wraped in satin black...I just wanted to see your opinions...obviously I can't satisfy everyone.
But at the end of the day it is my car so I can do whatever I like with it ;-)
Have a great day

two things,

That was a handbrake turn not a power slide.

and secondly, your launch control is set wrong, its either revving too low or you change gear like a girl. You bogged it down on the shift between 1st and 2nd and would have lost loads of time, it also bogged on actual launch, you need more revs

What are the revs on your launch?

This is how it should look, I love an opportunity to post gratuitous launch control vids!

I am not usually driving like that because I owned my classic for past 6 years and I value it too much.
This was supposed to be a little rebellion...

Well then keep it to yourself. Posting something like that on an open forum has to be one of the most stupid things anyone has ever done.

And no, you can't do what ever you want on the road.

On a public road with no thought for other road users as seen by the man flashing his lights in you poor attempt at launching video.

You're not in Slovakia now!

Well if the launch is set correctly now you change gear like a girl lol, I would take the driving lessons comment seriously if you are going to have a car like this, you need to know how to control it
