Can you do this with your "A" ?

Nasty, snarly, farting beast that sounds like Chinese New-Year...

Is part of the attraction the Hypoxia that must come with all the exhaust fumes and tire smoke ?

Guess this kid has outgrown his skateboard...

wow.

Fun to watch, but I wouldn't do that to any car that I owned. OK, maybe I would have done that to my 1964 Rambler. But I don't think that it would have made it through the first turn without blowing up.

Awww, don't pick on Ramblers... they were noble little cars...

I love my '61 American Custom Convertible... :cool:
 
Mike,

Thanks for the link:eek::D:cool::eek::D:cool: Awesome, what control! I'd call it automotive ballet. The video itself was done extremely well!

Keep V-8ing and 4-banging!...definitely 4-banging!
 
Ive been watching Ken Block for a couple years, but this is by far the most bad A$$ video he has ever done. thanks for the link, its going on my favorite list. But as for my A, I might have already accidently done a few of those moves :X
 
What is that Ford he's driving, is it available in the USA? I didn't know the track was in that good condition, do they run any Vintage Races there? The guy has a great driving talent, thank you for the link.

It's a highly modified 2010 Fiesta.
 
More details here:

"Built by Olsbergs Motorsport Evolution (MSE), the 2,425-pound Gymkhana THREE Fiesta sports a purpose-built Olsbergs engine capable of up to 850 brake horsepower, but is restricted to 650 horsepower in order to give Block the torque band he needs to control the car. Equipped with an Olsbergs MSE Maktrak (magnesium) six-speed paddle-shift sequential transmission, it is capable of 660 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm and needs a mere two seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph."

A bit more power than you can get from the ol' flathead, I reckon!
