i was waitn 2 see when if someone would post it. very sweet vid =D>
Very cool video. Its amazing how much control / precision rally drivers have of their cars over all the different surfaces they drive. Makes me wonder why anyone even bothers watching nascar... booooooring.
Its really too bad he doesn't have very good control with the THROTTLE.
Pegging off the rev limiter for 6 minutes is just ****ing stupid.
lol :lol:Quote:

when a car is built to your driving style, redline is a useful tool, not a driving limiter.
Really? I'd love to see anyone on this forum pull off half of that course with that much control of the carQuote:

If he wasn't on the rev limiter, he'd probably stop sliding.
Gymkhana isn't about the racing line, or the "proper" way to take the corner... it's more like formula-d... speed and style.
That being said, I definitely respect Ken Block more than say: Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra. Ken is a great driver, hands down, and he knows how to market, getting him where he is.
i would love to have a car set up like that just to practice to be half as good as him...Quote:

he did troll the subie boys though, they are still mad
i bet its closer to half a mil.. or atleast with all the extra parts/tires etc..
Thats what i thought at first, about 500k or so, but I was looking online and found some estimates that place it a lot less, but nothing for sure
Keep in mind that's just the gymkhana car... through the Monster world rally team, he also drives a rally-prepped fiesta (I would say monster has at least two, just for Ken...)
I believe he personally owns a rally prepped Ford Escort Mk2 as well. Possibly Colin Mcrae's old car?
wouldn't surprise me if it was Colin's old one.... p.s. if subaru is looking for a driver.... =) hi.
Speaking of Colin... Travis wrecked Colin's old pignose STi (used at the first X-Games "rally" event) at 100 acre wood... it was a left turn for anyone who's wondering.
think that video made it to you tube yet? i cant seem to find it?
they put a new video of this up with new camera angles, pretty cool
