That was unbelievable!
I am not much of a car enthusiast but that blew me away. The first couple minutes I was sort of "ho hum" but it just kept getting better. Not only was that guy rediculously talented but the car has to be that predictable.

There are Nascar drivers, Formula 1 drivers and then there are Rally car drivers. With out a doubt, Rally car drivers are the best in the world. Awesome video. ![thumbs thumbs](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/thumbsup.gif) Salmo G, I may be wrong, but I believe those are 4 wheel drive cars. I want one. ![grin grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/grin.gif)

I might be mistaken, but did that thing have tiptronics? It looked like the red numbers were the gears and he was changing them with a press of a button. It was at 3:20

I know nothing about race cars but it looked like his shifter was mounted on the steering wheel and the stick on the center console controlled a transfer case? He is shifting in and out of all wheel drive maybe?

I did see what looked like the clutch pedal. Possibly it was just for going in and out of all wheel. Pretty sweet.

I'll sit right where I am to watch that. No way my old heart could take a ride in the passenger seat of his car. That was way too cool for me and I did some real stupid chit when I was younger.

The footage of his gymkhana in the 500hp WRX was pretty incredible.
He has been practicing!
Pretty mind blowing. Good stuff.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

The 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers 650 bhp and 660 foot pounds of torque at 4000 rpm.
6-speed sequential gearbox with paddle shifters, 4-wheel-drive.
Normally, I'd poop on a Ford Fiesta...........but I'd be seen in this one.
