hard to say i guess. some of the stuff requires some skill i assume but if you had a while to mess around with it. would not be able to go that fast though. when he is right against the wall going full speed..yep..

and that is why Ken Block kicks ass.

The only thing I dislike about this is all the advertising. If you watch the first Gymkhana it is just about the driving. Now Ken has all these sponsors that get thrown in your face while he is driving.

all that advertising allows him to afford things like renting out a track like that to do a movie like this, build that $200k+ car, not to mention all the filming equipment and labour wages.

i dont think many people could drive that car like that...you would need a pretty good understanding of how the car acts...he just makes it look easy.

that being said he has a lonngggg way to go on his world rally driving to be considered one of the best in the world. he is still one hell of a gymkhana driver tho.

he is a talented driver for sure, but in a field of his peers it kinda puts things back into reality. but its all relative right?

dude he never claims to be on the same level as them. really, he's just getting into the circuit and only doing certain events.

anyways, sucks DC got bought and no more mountain lab :(

pretty badass. not feeling the ford either though.
watching videos like this is why i no longer have a car. you cannot rally a subie wagon, even if it is turbo 5 speed. at least i cant obviously.

yes. 0-60 in 1.9 seconds is what you get when you bring a ford fiesta up to more than 800hp.


power to weight ratio is fucknuts.

i believe so. you could see there were clearly paddle shifters, and there was a shot of his feet which revealed a clutch, so ya.

good catch..its actually whats known as a dogbox which allows very very fast shifting

It still needs to have a clutch depressed to downshift, but htey work without a clutch on upshift by cutting the ignition (milliseconds) then disengaging the tranny and allowing a shift

if you've ever watched any rally clips you might assume the 'chirping' was the bov but its actually the transmission
