Ken Block drifts up Pikes Peak in 1,400 HP TT Mustang

Awesome

That's a pretty wild piece of machinery right there

I remember my Chevrolet Avalanche was not thrilled to be at that elevation.

It sent me a coded message to that effect.

That dude has a super-sized scrotum.

Nope. I white knuckle that drive doing the speed limit.

Ehh, my grandad did that same route in a 67 Dodge Monaco station wagon with bitchy old lady and three grandkids. That dude ain't shite.

I was in Colorado last month and drove by the exit for Pikes Peak, I regret not making enough time to drive to the summit. Though my truck hated some of the summits at 10,000ft, so I'd imagine 14,000 would have been tough.

I have no idea what drifting means but that was awesome. Dude has balls of steel to be going around those mountain curves and dodging snowplows like that.

What's just as impressive to me is his equipment. That's a pretty volatile motor (fine line between max output and durability). He keeps that thing pinned the whole time. It's like a symphony with the transmission and brake system on that thing. Couple that with his talent lack of give a frick... its beautiful.

Those are some badass tires
