Trying to Drift a 2016 Subaru WRX STI Full of Ramen Noodles Is a Bad Idea

In the modern (first) world where one has so many nutritional choices, ramen noodles never seem like the kind of food that can make a huge difference. However, we're here to show you how adding this ingredient can seriously alter a well-known recipe.

We're talking about drifting a 2016 Subaru WRX STI, a recipe that almost guarantees success. Nevertheless, if you add ramen noodles (read: fill your Impreza with them), the result might not be so delicious.

While it might seem like we've mixed our noodles with the wrong kind of medicine here, one YouTuber out there has actually loaded his WRX STI with as many boxes of ramen noodles as he could fit inside it. And then went for a hooning session, trying to drift the thing.

The Subaru reacted with its usual understeer resistance and, despite the driver's clutch-kicking efforts, he couldn't get the rear end to step out. Perhaps a more focused approach, one not involving the noodles, would've helped.

Oh, and let's not overlook the hooning that takes place on the road, with the boxes that went flying obviously distracting the guy behind the wheel. So yes, as we said in the title, attempting such a stunt is a bad idea.

Wait, it's not all bad

While this episode obviously has to do with online attention, the end result was a noble one, as the noodles were donated to the local food shelter. Sure, a part of them may have been speeding-sliced in the process, but the hooning couldn't have done that much harm to the noodles.

You can check out the almost-cliche JDM adventure in the piece of footage below, but, since the clip is almost 22 minutes long, be prepared to turn to your video skipping instincts. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the perfect example of how to generate a first world problem when there actually isn't any.
