This is pure car porn:

The engine note is demonic, the driving is mind-boggling and the Segway cameo is demented.

I need to find an abandoned airstrip.

that seems to be at that abandoned airforce base in california, that's where darpa did the robot car tests, I could be wrong. It's basically a small city, just sitting there waiting to be driven like mad on.

Looks like the hangar that was used in the commercial for I think BFGoodrich with the Charger R/T drifting inside it.

That's my backyard, El Toro Aiport base in Orange County, CA. You can see the Saddleback mountains in the background

Ken, next time invite me...we'll see who can drive better...the winner will buy the loser a beer

Yes the moves were incredible, but then again one of us with some practice and maybe some rally car skills could do that, I mean, a lot of people could do drifts that fast, becuase you got all four stickys going. I want to see him do that with the Team Orange Subaru The pylon handbrake move was incredible though but i've seen a drift like that in Sport Compact Car's Ultimat Street Car Challenge with an Audi 90 with a 4.2 Audi V8. Praise the handbrake! It's amazing how well car control can be noted with AWD and a rally car. Apparently some people, mainly on Youtube don't know about the Australians way of Gymkhana, blown Holdens and you want to talk about fast smokey drifts? oh yeah!

The Segway trick is sweet, like I said, look that Audi up, you want smoke? but most AWD cars when they start doing donuts, the car moves forward for each 360 turn with the motion so with that Segway going 1.2 MPH yeah it could be done.

I love the engine note of this car, just ear porn and all Scoobs just so throaty, love it or hate. Gotta love Crawford for building them for him. Cosworth vs. Crawford. Don't get it wrong, I worship these guys and he has some crazy skills for just getting into it only the last few years and he makes shoes but he can drive but a little too yeah yeah for me, I think the reason I say that is because there is no form, just have it floored, heck I could do that and trust me I would! I want to see him run Race of Champions type. It's just an open runway so you can do anything at speed and the part when he had to do that huge 360, he ran it into the banking and just powered off into the grass, which he did quite a few time, the only times I was truly amazed was when he did the handbrake pylon trick and the powerslide around the garage, but you could put some spastic driver in there and say, pedal to the floor GO! It's like I said, it's nice to just have a car specifiacally built for you and you just drive it, his first rally, he had a car for him from VermontSports cars and the sponser and got into it because he heard about it with Travis Pastrana, which I have repsect for in the rally. Foust also, but he done this stuff for years and drifting so him to I have respect for in a real kind of way. Ken does wicked stuff and he is great at rally, fantastic driving but he has it in a Extrem Action Sports kind of way, like that Ski jump episode he did, just random exposure, off the hook but random but yeah to just put some dings and scratches in it and don't really notice, becuase he's got money, so it's not a problem. You know what I mean? I want to see Rod Millen do this course too

This is the same, but somehow more amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDRRkan4PMQ different angle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8FJaeNSpEs&feature=related

Nutty driving. Ken Block kicks ass! And the sound that Subaru makes is euphoric!
