Once a year Ken Block treats us to a new Gymkhana video. Today he dropped Gymkhana 5. Stop reading and watch. AMAZING!

Thanks for posting

   

Gymkhanas are always good.

   

You experience something similar here when you catch a cab. Never get into a taxi with spoilers and air foils(and plastered with stickers advertising every automotive modification compny known to man), tell the driver to hurry unless you've got sphincter muscles of steel, or you've just finished a major dystentry like purge of the lower intestinal tract.

   

Sic.......

   

i wonder if he offers city tours....San Fran in an hour.

   

Sweet!

   

Took me the better part of 3 days to cover what he did in 5 minutes.

   

The way he drives, I'm sure most people would miss most of the tour on account of their heads being stuck in a paper bag...

   

Awesome, and I'd sign up for a tour.

   

Don't feel too bad, there was probably at least 3 months of preparation, 2 weeks of on site practice and 142 takes over 3 days to get that 5 minutes of video. Pretty awesome though.

   

Plus I don't think I saw him pay his toll on the Golden Gate bridge.

   

...and he was going UP Lombard Street, that section is one-way going down.

   

I noticed that.

   

650 HP, 0 to 60 in 1.8 seconds and still sounds like your mothers sewing machine.

Call me old fashioned but some of the muscle car experience was the intimidating sound they made. There's nothing like the rumble of blueprinted and balanced big block to give a guy a woody.
