Um... I'm speechless... (NPC)
 
I'd like to see a 911 do this... not that it couldn't, just like to see it :)

I'm impressed... this is skill beyond just your average drift guy... wonder how many takes it took? Obviously, 4 sets of tires...

Although I couldn't replicate the skill, I'd sure love to have a free day of running my car around that post-apocalyptic wasteland of an airport they're using!

Holy-Crap!!! That guy is gooood!! One shot of the driver while he was doing some of the off the wall stuff, he actually looked bored! Like just another day at the office.

Ken is a really cool guy too. Rally cars have a very unique setup and the talent that the drivers have these days is incredible. The rally series here in the US has gotten to be very competitive and hopefully will continue to grow.

There has been several Porsche rally cars in the past and they rally in europe quite often. I am sure that you find more to check out but here is a taste for ya.

Thanks for the post it was good to see that Ken still knows how to have some fun.

Warmest Regards,

I think I had a sympathy poop for the man on the segway.

The car sounds really good if you've got good speakers including a woofer/sub of some sort, but to me, these are more impressive.

This isn't as impressive, but it's similar to the segway stunt in the Ken Block video.

A car built like the car above would be fun to build and register as a street car.

I am gonna go eat worms

That was amazing but I don't think a Porsche would be able to stand that abuse. I think you might need something Japanese that is made for more of a younger crowd beating on it. I always think of Porsches as more refined race cars and less for beating up on.

wow...if I was on that Segway I'd be changing my shorts.

sammyg2 11-21-2008 01:57 PM

I could do that, except I'm allergic to stupid punk goaties and wanna-be rapper baseball caps.

BTW The 4wd on that car makes it a little easier.

tangerine911S 11-21-2008 02:45 PM

Watched the video of the Lotus 7 type car on one of the other many threads about this Ken Block video. Thats really impressive stuff.

87coupe 11-22-2008 09:16 AM

Sometimes I wonder about you guys. The lotus 7 looking thing, mini, and other videos aren't even close to the Ken Block video.
