Ken Block is a hack and an amateur.

  • First 5 minutes of the 7 minute vid is him crapping on about the car, there's only 2 minutes of actual footage
  • The car is only used on a purpose built track with heaps of room (like most of his vids - or portable plastic barriers that don't hurt when you hit them)
  • Judging by the tyre marks on the road he's had about 16 goes at each corner before getting a keeper (all of his vids are like this - just look at every corner of every KB video)

May I suggest you skip that video and watch a couple of Ryan Tuerck's instead.

  • Forest road, no soft safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgin lines, or at most 1 previous (faint) set on the ground that could easily be someone else's. This basically means he made ONE run for the footage.

  • No safety barriers
  • Most corners are virgins, until the tandem part of the vid where you can tell they had a couple of practice goes

  • 1 or 2 previous sets in parts but still 14 less than old mate Ken.

Ryan can f**king drive!

It's likely that was a press day where he took lots of people for a spin in his car, hence lots of marks.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm sure those vids you posted are vids of the first ever time that guy drove those roads....

Double edit: I find the Hoonigan stickers on Ryan Turek's car ironic. Hoonigan is literally Ken Block's brand.

I liked Off Seasons Two - but the poor S13 almost rattled itself to death! Also, too many 'arty' shots that do the driving no justice at all. I did like the chase car shots though.

FRS one is really cool.

I don't think there is much mustang left in that car. Pushrod suspension. It has more in common with a pargani zonda. Safe to say the V8 would be a custom billet block based motor too. Resembling the dimensions of another OEM manufacturer in some dimensions only. Purpose built go-fast toy !

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
