European style RALLY driving...
C'mon guys
take a quick trip to NZ (Kiwi) or Australia (its like $1,000 return from LA or SFO on Qantas or AirNZ)
Or go to Europe and try the same thing for probably like $600 return from JFK - except they dont all speak english
And Aussie and Kiwis love American accents - so you will be hit there.
The scenes in that video are I think, Cardrona, The Remarkables or Mount Hutt in NZ, I did not see a landmark that I could recognize
Get on a plane and have some fun.
Rallying is the way they party down there.
woo hoo
and no a T4R is too tall to do that
Subi's are built for it

You can do that with an R/C car simply because the inertia (mass) of the rear tires is in the same ball park as the total weight of the car. When your R/C car's rear tires accelerate or decelerate, they're applying torque which will cause the car to nose up or nose down, pivoting around that rear axle. With the subaru, the mass of the tires and the torque it applies is probably not enough to change the tilt of the vehicle. Also, the subarus are all time 4 wheel drive. This means that any tire acceleration/deceleration is going to make two OPPOSITE torques that cancel each other out. So even if you could get that effect on a life size car, it would have to be 2WD only. For these stunts they had to utilize the landing zones of the jumps. Im guessing a lot of careful math went into determining the takeoff speed so the car hits the landing zones just right. As an avid snowboarder, Ive cleared some decent jumps, and Ive also missed the landing zone in various ways. Im recalling some of my worse slams, and now picturing a subaru in place of me - oh the wreckage.........
