Towing capability?
 
This is totally out of right feild but how effective would a WRX be to tow something? Say a light car and trailer? Is it possible or has it been done before? Just curious.

It should be able to pull a small utility trailer with no issues, however a trailer hitch would look horrible...

I agree, but you need a tow hitch to carry the tire porter like the one that Egan has. That thing is fricken sweet.

I see no problem pulling some dirt bikes or a jet ski but a car might start to push the limits :roll:

IIRC the tow capacity for a WRX is 2000 lbs. That's pretty much a little utility trailer, or maybe a dirt bike.

Towing another car is right out... not enough power/torque and you'd probably kill the clutch and gearbox. Most importantly, you'd have a BITCH of a time slowing down w/ another car pushing on you... hell, you'd probably get spun out by the trailer unless you were braking uphill.

I'm not sure what I'm looking at... is that boat sneaking out of the water to eat the S2000?

Car that has next to zero low end torque...
Can you say water spraying burn out as the car slowly slides back and sinks in to the lake? :lol: :lol:
