Great Post, didn't know he made a second one.

Ken Block keeps getting better and better, but I still like RIP Richard Burns more.

Wow... Noticed a little kiss to the wall around the 1:30 mark though. (okay, I would have been completely into the wall...)

Yeah, he left skid marks and everything. The inside shot just after even shows when he kissed the wall. Unreal drive, though...

wow, that car goes thru rear tires faster than a 993!

don't know about you, but I think I'd donate a kidney to get a ride in the pass seat on that.

No better demonstration of finite car control than that...except Pro Rally.

just insane...insanely COOL THAT IS!

Very nice.. but I cringe at the amount of time he is on the rev limiter.

Obviously, this is not going to help the life time of the engine...

+993, and add that to the fact that it is 4wd.

He's got skills!

The one where he takes an STi and does something similar is pretty good too.
