Wow is an understatement, I was absolutely thrilled watching the video. Thank you for posting it. What a talented individual he is, absolutely amazing driving skills.

Fantastic! It would be interesting to see him or someone run that car up Pike Peak for time to see how it would do. I bet it wouldn't be bad, but without aero, I think it wouldn't be as fast as you'd expect with 1400hp and AWD.

Pikes Peak is an amazing road. I wish they hadn't paved the top but oh well. Blocks tricks on the road is fun to watch but seeing the full blown tube frame semi up there in competition is still my favorite pikes peak memory.

My wife & I were on a road trip to Colorado last week, and drove Pikes Peak. Simply the best road I have ever been on. (The road to Mt Haleakala in Maui was a close second.) My hands were sweating part of the way, and that was at 15-20 mph.
You could see faint remnants of tire marks from Ken Block. We spoke to a ranger at the top, and he told me the video was shot on 2 separate visits over several months. He also told me they went through 2 or 3 motors...hence the return visit to finish shooting. I imagine the elevation was hell on them the way he revs them.
The control he has of that 'Stang is purely amazing!
