Article An epic use of an epic city: Ken Block's Gymkhana 5

[Giannis]

There's a saying that "a picture is worth a thousant words". In this case, the above picture cannot discribe what the famous stunt (and not only) driver Ken Block does in the fifth episode of his "Gymkhana" series. This episode, shot around the streets of San Fransisco features a specially prepared 650whp Ford Fiesta driven beyond the limits of logic. Our only advice is to watch the video in 1080p!

650 PS Fiesta
0-60 mph in 1.8 sec !!!

And some say the is no point in mesuring 0-60 mph.

Ken Block sucks.

 

[Makini]

What a waste of rubber...

Seriously though, why can't this guy get a solid result with all his 'skill'?

Haters gona hate...........come on guys would you have the balls to do this in your cars ?

Ken Block sucks.

Why?

 

[martinbo]

Ken Block's a rather unique specimen. His outright car control ability is unbelievable - without question. Should we expect that such amazing car control in the "stunt-driving" regime ought to automatically translate into a natural ability for outright speed? Of course not. Two totally different driving disciplines. The fact that he is fast enough to compete in WRC is a testament to his incredible talent behind the wheel. Sure, he's not Seb Loeb but then again no one is...

Can Loeb do what Block does ? Neither. They are just different things and that is all. You can't be good at everything. Either you are a the ebst soccer player or you a best komball freestyler, but you can't be best at both. Same here.
