i keep hearing that but you know what, he has a fun job and makes killer money doing it. he is probably more popular now because of this vs. just being a rally driver. although i must say the STi sounded better but this car makes much more power.

No doubt. And he owns an apparel company. The guy has skills beyond belief. But I wonder how someone like Sebastian Loeb or Jari Matti Latvala would do making a video like this.

This is more of a hobby for him, his money comes from owning DC shoe company.

yeah 600+awhp isnt bad either, to bad a production AWD version isn't available to compete with the EVO and STi, it would be cool to see a american car company do that.

ya know i kinda wonder how they would do, some of the stuff Ken Block does is not so race car-ish and more of gymkhana, things pure race car drivers probly havent done in years. Im not so sure other drivers would be able to switch from pure racing to the "playground" style, not for lack of skill but lack of adaptability. sort of like the boxers, wrestlers, and NFL players competing in the UFC. Not that there not super skilled and in fantastic shape, they just have a different mindset and cant adapt it.

some drivers might but for the most part the good rally drivers shouldn't have a problem, most of them practice using similar things. kinda like off road racers, anything that goes along in that category they will be able to adapt to with practice and time.
