Now we’re sure everyone remembers the insane Subaru WRX STi TRAX which was previewed back in 2009 for the SEMA Auto Show and for Ken Block to fool around in. However, Subaru may have forgotten to put up a disclaimer stating “Don’t try this at home,” because that’s exactly what an insane owner in Chassel, MI, decided to do when they created their very own version of the TRAX.

The car recently popped up on eBay Motors and it’s definitely one of the most interesting cars to come out of the auction site for years. It’s currently unclear if there is much serious interest in the car and while we respect the brave owner for doing these radical modifications, we can’t help thinking that whoever buys it is wasting their money.

It’ll be outlawed in most if not all U.S. states, which means it could only be driven on private property. As a result, it seems to be a waste of a perfectly healthy 2002 Subaru WRX STI as it’ll likely never feel the cool air rushing through its intercooler and will probably be kept in storage all year round.

Nevertheless, this piece of machinery would be unquestionably fun to drive, and if the modifications have been performed correctly, it could very well be the most fun you can have in a Subaru on snow covered roads. However, in saying that, the WRX STI is still pretty capable on snow when left stock due to its 2.0 liter engine, 5 speed transmission, and all-wheel drive system, but like we said, props to the madman behind this creation

A Look At The STI Car

 Ken’s STI car is many things in one to him. He can rally with it, clear gaps of up to 100 feet with it and drive on a Gymkhana course with it. It is even probable that the Subaru has provision for tweezers. This car happens to be the fastest snow cat in the world. The car comes ready for competition, but without tires. Instead of tires, the car runs on snow-cat tracks. The car, made by Vermont Sports Car, comes with a 2.5 liter Turbocharged engine. It also has a five speed gearbox. Its shocks are seriously special to provide for the tracks.

One would think that running on tracks would slow down the car. Not at all. Subar Trax STI rips. It is absolutely fast. In the snow, Ken does unimaginable things, things that tickle anybody to laughter or raise the nerves and hairs on end. He floats the car through powder, as though it is swimming through cream, yet it’s incredibly faster than possible. The car carves S turns without any sign of faltering. On packed stuff, it looks less potent than it really is, moreless like an ordinary STI. The car looks intimidating, insane, awesome and ridiculous. The car has a Sleigh, the Santa Claus style, for the bravest of willing passengers to take a ride. Are you brave enough to take such a ride? If so, give it a try and share the experience.
