Tug of war: Subaru Impreza WRX STI vs Chevrolet truck

February 11, 2016 – The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is a capable sports sedan, but when it comes to tug of war, it’s all about torque and weight: the torquier and heavier your car, the better your chances of winning.

In this video, the Impreza WRX STI faces a Chevy truck with a Duramax diesel V8 engine, and the result would’ve been obvious, so they’ve to put the Subie on water in order to avoid damage to the powertrain – because it stands no chance on a dry surface against the Chevy – while giving the spectators a proper burnout.
