Some tight courses are better for torqy NA impreza, not to mention L has a shorter gear ratios so these results dont mean **** I see this all the time when or tight courses turbo cars are not doing all that well |

You do realize that HS is the lowest PAX. A whole 5% lower than AS. .792 vs .842. So 'theoretically' on that 65 second course the AS should have been about 3.2 seconds faster, not 1.2 seconds slower, with equal drivers. For those interested PAX results James' HS = 50.42 Ken's AS = 54.62 |

AHHH what a relief!!!...no music, pure mechanical fury, absolute rawness....that's the way car videos need to be made! I haven't enjoyed a car vid in a long time. Cheers to Block. Reminds me of "climb dance."
True gymkhana or not, Ken is doing us all a favor by making a video like that. |

This vid got over 100K views in 24 hrs and that is not counting ones on youtube. Every car message board I'm on has it and when I try to show it to my friends in Europe they already seen it. You are here for a reason too. This is a best VID in a long time. So yes, I am Ken's fan. And this video is KICK ASS. I'd rather be a fanboi than whine about stupid sht Ohh, its not really Gymkhana. It wasn't one take. I can beat him in my Mini, my penis is crooked... Recognize this video for what it is. Anyone would give A LOT for 15 mins in that car at that track. If you dont feel that way go put more neon lights on you car. Why cant people just say. "This is awesome" Why cant you just like the vid for what it is. Simple as that Greg |

Maybe not EVERYONE likes the same exact things as you do. Maybe other people actually go out and do their own thing instead of posting "oh my god I splooges, he's a god" on message boards I've been entertained, and thats why I'm here. -Tom |

It was cool but the reason many people are criticizing it are the reasons that have been covered. It's much closer to drifting than gymkhana and while it's some great driving, it loses some if it's luster when you see that some of those shots were done many many times. |

It looks like the same place that the BFGoodrich tire commercial with the Charger drifting was filmed. He is using BFGoodrich tires too. Maybe it is the same hanger, hence all the black marks?

So are you saying I sit all day in front of the computer and actually DON'T "go out and do my own thing" How do you know if I've done any driving? Greg |

and no I don't like the pissing matches on the threads but I just don't understand how can you not get excited when you watch a video like that. Regardless of what it is. Fake drifting, Fake Gymkhana - whatever. Maybe I get a different feeling watching this vid than you do Your profile says you drive an Integra so maybe you never had a chance to go all balls out with a powerful race prepped AWD car and you just don't understand the feeling it gives you.

And the excitement comment? Sure, it's a neat video. One that can be done by almost anyone that can turn a wheel in anger, with the budget/time/inclination to do so. --KC |

I don't know who pissed in everybody's cheerios, but I agree that the video was great to watch, and it did make me excited to drive my car again. I don't care if Block was doing backflips with wires and a net, it was still entertaining.

Cooley and KC. Those are my ploney links you are using for PAX data..... Ken was not on R Comps for those times. James was. The 08 STI was flogged on OE CRAP Dunlops/alignment(ZERO camber) all morning too giving potential customers a ride, including me. Well actually, Alex G. drove me. This AS to HS comparo is not usable IMHO..... Sorry James. Luv the vid. Especially his commitment/balls to drifting around the building. Freeze frame his initial angle to the right of the building, you would never guess he was not going to run into the building from a freeze frame....
