E-Tank Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It didn't even look like he beat on the clutch. He just pulled the fuxer right out. I wonder what kind of tires he has. I want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1anatic Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I do not believe one bit that the STI towed the truck. He may have just given it the little nudge needed to regain traction on its own but that is about it. Mass truck > Mass STI by 20 times or more. Truck contact points with ground = 14 wheels STI contact points with ground = 4 wheels Not to mention that any tow points on the car are not rated for more than 3000 lbs. WHat now...30,000 lbs all of a sudden ? No way. Stunt ? NO. I am not saying it did not happen; that it is fake; nor am I saying that an STI would not have the power to do it. But it was merely a help over perhaps a distance of several cm. Check out this "related" video and you will hear the same explanation: the Touareg has the power but not the traction.
