Dang, I wonder how fast he could do the hillclimb if he didn't fool around?
TOYO TIRES | Ken Block’s Climbkhana: Pikes Peak Featuring the Hoonicorn V2 |

I was expecting a technician, not a rodeo clown. Drifting is the rap music of the racing world. TC |

Ken Block is such and asshole it is unreal. Really dislike this guy, and all his antics.

Takes big clanky nuts to do that hillclimb at speed, much less hooning the fuck out of a car like that.
That was impressive, I would like to see what the Hoonicorn would turn for a time w/o the drifting, that car is pretty damn impressive. |
|
Yeah, I'd rather see him just do it for time instead of sliding for the sake of sliding. Also, please travel back in time and do it before they paved it. And take me with.

... I'm sure it's tuned perfectly, but that mill sure "sounds" like it craps out a lot

I liked the Max Maxesque of showing the turbo's when he shifted..

Wonder how much boost they're giving those turbos? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Dubbed Hoonicorn V2, Block’s updated Mustang now features a fully custom twin-turbo setup that’s force-feeding 21 pounds of boost into a 410 cubic inch (6.7 liter) methanol motor. The end result? 1,400 horsepower at the crank that is then sent to all four wheels in an effort to vaporize Block’s Toyo tires instantly. |

He lives around me, and the way he treats fans is crazy. His instagram is a huge look at me fest and then when people come up to him in a respectful way he is one of the biggest assholes I have ever seen. I witnessed him eviscerate a young guy that serves his wife daily at whole foods. The guy said that Ken was his idol and was very respectful. Ken's response was one of the most pathetic I have ever seen. The guy is all about the fame and $$$. Just a big show off. Not even a good racer. Just a brand whore to the highest degree.

Wow, a bunch of cranky pants around here.
I thought it was cool. Hot custom car doing stuff I can't dream of ever doing. Good footage, we'll done video. Thanks OP |

I noticed that also, best I could come up with is that he is hitting some type of rev limiter. As others have said one has to wonder what he could do with that car if he was just running it for the best time? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

This is the best Pikes Peak hill climb

Meh. That was kind of neat a decade ago.
Rather watch the actual racers now. |

His videos are becoming less and less entertaining. Kind of the "fake it 'til make it" mentality. I'm guessing next, we will see him doing donuts around trash cans out at Bonneville during Speed Week?
Also, I agree that his fame has gone to his head. Back when he was a nobody in the auto racing world, he treated people much better. |
|
I've driven that.
Don't much care for drifting. Skills and balls he has in spades... |
|
Would love to see a before and after on the tires. And I would love to drive that but without the drifting.

Some of you would bitch about getting a blowjob and a stack of hundred dollar bills.

The first few Gymkhana videos were cool, but I'm not feeling it anymore.
DC SHOES: Ken Block's Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France The Recoil videos are kinda cool too. Monster Energy: Ballistic B.J. Baldwin - #RECOIL |
