Gymkhana 5

if it was a video of Sebastien Loeb, well then yes.

 

Because he uses his WRC car and Rallies take place on Tarmac. Granted this isn't the place to talk about his WRC career, it is a good point. As soon as you put yourself into a professional sport you will be judged so.

 

Not 100% but that's what I've been reading. Besides if it isn't it's pretty damn close.

 

Well it has a lot of WRC parts, Ant lag system, sequential gearbox, widened body. Same HP. I'm not a betting man but I'd be willing to bet this is his WRC car.

I am not saying Block is a better driver. Just saying that people are comparing two different things. It's stupid. If you think he sucks at driving, that's cool. It's your opinion and you can have it. However, to watch this video and say "it's not rally" .... its just a really dumb statement. Yes, we knew it wasn't rally before the video started. Welcome to the club. Thanks for the intelligent comment, way to add to the conversation.

 

Wow, I never said he was a bad driver.
Maybe you didnt undersand my post, Loeb didn't get his super license for F1,
Thanks for calling me out and being proactive, I'll add some science next time, mint.

 

I didn't say you did. The other guy I was talking with did, the one I responded to. I was just explaining my comments to his OP since you replied, I copied your post. The "its not rally" part was from his post. Relax there shooter.

 

Well I'm just glad we've got guys like these to keep us entertained who are always willing to push their limit, the laws of physics and our patiences for better material. If I could have an ounce of their talent I'd probably end up making a smuck out of myself.

I think the real Gymkhana car was the Subaru, the Ford is just a copy cat.

 

I was responding to him about his comment. I replied to him because he quoted me. The response included comments about the OP I commented on the first time. Feel free to read the whole thing again and slower. It may help answer your own question.


Reported me or phill?

 

Them iz fightin' wurdz

I beg to differ

 

No Jason. Really, read it again. My comment is very straight forward. It replies to him and follows it with a transition.

Either way... it doesn't matter if you can or cannot follow this concept. Move along, no point in wasting breath on this subject any more.

Nuke wants to see an EVO.

 

Honestly i think the ford is better than the subarubaru

 

Yeah. I think the smaller platform could be a lot of fun. Is it RWD or AWD?

 

trying to save this train wreck

 

Yep. I understand how he got confused. However his d-bag comment at the end of his post prevented an "I'm sorry you took it that way" and instead gave him a taste of his own BS. Funny how that works.

 

It's not the M sport WRC car he runs overseas. The chassis is the same but it has an earlier 2.0l wrc based motor instead of the new 1.6l. Current spec WRC cars make nowhere near 650hp. They have intake restrictors that limit them to roughly 300-330hp.

 

^very proactive!

 

I actually remember hearing that too.
>.<

 

I said anyone can burn tires, not that anyone could do this video. That would imply that everyone has the kind of cash to be a professional stunt driver for fun. I'm sure there are millions of people out there who could do what Block has done, if they had the cash or the training. This isn't rocket science. There are millions of basketball players in the world, but every time Lebron makes a basket, do we get on Facebook and talk about how awesome his three-pointer was? No. Because anyone could do it. He just happens to have the money (albeit paid for because he's talented) to do it ALL THE ****ING TIME.

The reason why I'm drawing a line from point A to point B and then to point C is because Block started his car-driving career in Rally America, and I'd rather see him spend some money highlighting the many awesome things about stage rally because I'm a fan of stage rally--a fan enough to have sponsored Carl and his team for a year. Really my argument comes from the same sentiment that describes my lack of enthusiasm for the Kardashians (as compared to my complete enthusiasm for the British comedy, "Man / Woman." This is car porn; the same money shot spewed onto the face of the waiting pavement as the video before it. It's nothing new or all that exciting. Where is the creampie website of the car-video world? That's something I'd like to see.

So my point isn't utterly lost in the analogy I made above: Block is boring, and he does nothing to raise the profile of Rally America or Americans at large in the world of professional rally driving. He's been reduced to being the Ron Jeremy of the performance driving world; a name you only remember if someone has the audacity to publish a video of him driving a Ford on a Subaru owners forum.

 

I think he said block sucks donkey balls, bro!

 

Practice makes perfect bro! Lol

 

No I think he said money. Money automatically makes anyone able to do anything. That's why all celebrity drivers are so good.

 

Lmfao so ****en true bro
Its funny how that works bro

 

Thanks bro. Mind if I stop by with some rice on Monday? I'm totally riced out over hear and need to share the wealth.

Ain't sharing it around bro? I smell a brodown coming on....be ready! I'll have flat bill and all!

 

My flat hat is inside.... can we still bro down?

 

Why you disrespectin me bro

 

Because bro. Everyone has to do what I think is cool... otherwise it's stupid bro. Get on my level bro.



Rice.

 

****.....my rice has been slow cooked to perfection. I'll bring a big tub of penutbutter cuz I know how jelly you are

[Talk down about your car even though mine isn't as nice]
[Make opinion based comments on how I hate your style]

Now tell me in not top bro!

 

....

 

Step your game up then!

 

All I have to say is:

 

See what a well-articulated poke gets you? Epic win. I should do this for a living.

 

I'm waiting--like Mr. Burns, tenting his fingers and saying, "Excellent."
