Less brakes, more gas!

Um... I'm speechless... (NPC)
I'd like to see a 911 do this... not that it couldn't, just like to see it
 http://video.kenblockracing.com/flash/small_player/preloader.swf?vendor_id=204&media_id=9183&bgcolor=FFFFFF&autoplay=0 I'm impressed... this is skill beyond just your average drift guy... wonder how many takes it took? Obviously, 4 sets of tires... -Michael

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!

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viuR3m2vvco Thanks for the post it was good to see that Ken still knows how to have some fun. Warmest Regards, Erik Johnson Carquip Sales Past Navigator for Ron Nelson in SCCA Pro-Rally series (before it changed to rally america) |

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. Another

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.

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. |

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