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 rip (http://videos.streetfire.net/video/aefcf277-643b-4557-a949-9a020146c68c.htm)

Cool vids.

Excellent use of the Deltron 3030 Album as well. Del is my favorite MC. Too bad it's only the instrumentals.

The car has a carbon fiber roof so i'm pretty sure he made the effort to have at least 500hp

I'm not pro at auto x or anything, but that looked like some really bad driving, in the beginning when he was actually trying!
