Can your Ford Fiesta do this?
 
In San Francisco's streets? :)

Ken Block has officially released Gymkhana 5. This time, everyone's favorite shoe-salesman has unleashed his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta on the quiet streets of San Francisco. How's that for an impressive venue? Cleared of traffic, the hilly terrain makes for a perfect playground. The video spends plenty of time getting up close and personal with the city's famous trolleys before moving to the Port of San Francisco. There's also an impressive bit of hotshoeing on a barge in the bay as well. This time, Block has brought along a special friend to help him send tires to their smoky graves.

Travis Pastrana has hopped on a bike for the first time since his massive crash at the X Games a year ago, and the two proceed to craft a mechanized ballet for everyone to enjoy. That's cool and all, but we enjoyed watching Block vault the Fiesta for some serious air time. Check out the video below for yourself. It's ten minutes of insanity.

:LOL: Rally drivers have balls that clang.
Cool video Dave, surprising from you though. Never thought you were much of a gearhead.

Long time ago in a different world I lived muscle cars. I had so many cool cars I wish I had now, Shelbys a real AC Cobra, Hemi 68 Charger. Loved that part of my life.

Makes the Bullitt chase scene look pedestrian by comparison.

I agree. I had a love affair back in the early 80s with the Mitsubishi 2.2 turbo Chrysler was using in they're Laser's & Daytona's.

That was so bad ass. I love watching WRC. Even my wife likes that. I'd love to be a passenger on that vid

Reminded me of the San Fiero races in GTA San Andreas. Anyone else?
