New Ken Block vid in London with M Leblanc
I thought this was pretty cool. Not quite as much mayhem as usual, but still cool.

Apparently, an 845hp AWD '65 mustang wasn't powerful enough.
Now it's TT with 1400hp

Another weird slow interview about the new mustang with some interesting tidbits.
1400hp twin turbo, no intercoolers because it's on methanol. Occasionally in this one, the audio gets screwy, I think because someone's phone is getting a call or something.

Wasn't that London one from last year on BBC Top Gear? Pretty good!

So my question is what does 1400 hp get you that the 700 ish or what ever the NA car had get you?
Once you exceed the tire friction threshold, trick time ensues... Clearly the NA car was more than capable of providing this .

I think a turbo vehicle will be much less affected climbing Pikes Peak than an NA vehicle. I think that's why they added the turbos.
