BONUS VID! Ken Blocks Gymkhana STi

[409industries]

DirtyImpreza.com - Ken Block's Gymkhana STi:headbang:

It was rally cross off season so some southern California DI members got together to attend Team Blew and Subaru of America’s “Driven By Who’s Inside Challenge” out at California Speedway. We figured we’d give this grip stuff a shot. While we were there Ken Block was giving demos in the new 2008 Impreza STi and he was also testing his Gymkhana car. This car is a beast! Rumored at 500 whp it could easily drift around many of the technical sections of the course. Sit back and enjoy this short video of Ken ripping around the track in this beautiful machine. :twisted:

I guess i got bit by the editing bug this week, two DI original releases in one week. Dont get used to it... This one i just couldn't pass up though. I was pleased with how well the short vid came out. I was shooting with no tripod, in windy / cold conditions.

Ken's Gymkhana car is pretty insane. He was hanging out all day so i talked to him for a while. He said this was his "toy" car and he loves driving it. Theyre still doing lots of testing though, getting everything dialed in. The inside is actually very civilized, theres no roll cage, all stock interior.

Before you flame about the tarmac, its Ken Block.... so its ok! hahahah

[I Like It Sideways]

Holy cow, that car is amazing. Its just... a beast. Nothing else to it.

I'm jealous you got to hang with him, that is awesome.

Nice video, good choice of music.

I was actually out working the course during this run that they used in their video. The part where he connects a left > right > long left all together in a drift was probably the sickest thing i saw all day.

Little did i know that alex gelsomino was inside laughing his ass off!

[bfrancis827]

Seems to be lacking in the power department.

[TurnDriverSide]

that video is awesome

[409industries]

wow, thread bumped from the dead. Anyway, this video that i made almost a year ago, got some hits after it came out (and actually was still one of the most popular DI videos). Just goes to show you how many street Subaru guys there are out there... anyway. For those of you who love stats:

Since the release of Ken's new video, i posted a video response, this video has been hit hard on youtube. Any exposure is good exposure!!!

[orvtech]

do some one has the results of that event ? it seems to mee a lot of show but too many errors. i would like to see how he did against other SM cars or event by PAX

[MConte05]

I was thinking that you were going to get some tremendous numbers seeing that it was one of the first "related to" videos way back when it was first released.

[Shazbot]

Sweet vid, that one shot where he goes around that semi-long right barely spinning (but spinning) then a hard brake to a left was sweet.

Edit for time
shot is @ 1:24

[me_jimmy]

well hey now, sweden had no color, i viewed it about 100 times

[409industries]

I think this video is up to like 350K+ views. simply crazy the internet sensation that Ken Block is now.

[409industries]

oh snap! someone stole my DirtyImpreza.com KB Gymkhana video and reposted it on YouTube.... fricken awesome!
