Ken Block is haveing a genuine ex-rallycross RS200 EVO rebuilt which is expected to be in his next video.
It is expected to have similar power but with a sequential gearbox which is being made specially for the car.

I didnt say you were retarded, did i????
To simplify my point, which has obviously come accross wrong, look at the capabilities of this car, it's an all round insane piece of kit, at the limit of speed/power/handling, it would take probably 3 times the cost of building this car once just to get it to go 1/4 second faster. You can compare it to anything you like, i just think comparing it to a vehicle that has one purpose and one capability is pointless.

Spot on rog, a dragster is built for a quarter mile quick and that's it, where as this car has quick acceleration, it can hit high top speeds and it can go round a race track.

It's a bit pointless comparing the 2 IMO

Thats not simplifying your point at all!!!

Thats CLARIFYING it.

And yes I totally agree.


The first thing you said was its not possible to accelerate much faster with 4 wheels. yes?

So all myself and others did was say you were WRONG.... and we gave you some interesting facts and figures about a nutty fast type of CAR on a discussion forum about CARS.

Whats wrong with that? Why is that retarded?

of course as an alround package the hillclimb car has far more uses! and I'd much prefer it!!!

BUT ALL WE WERE DOING IS ANSWERING YOUR ORIGINAL POST!!?!?!?!?!?

and we get called retarded.

here... posted AGAIN as you seem to have missed it TWICE

Yes it did thanks, you quoted someone else saying that, not me
What I actually said was this
1.7 seconds 0-60 mph.....

Hardly an outlandish statement to make that you're trying to belittle me for by bringing up top fuel dragsters and such like. It was a turn of phrase not a technical comment, maybe I shouldnt have used the words "anything with four wheels", that just opened it up and gave me a world of hurt since...

A saturn 5 rocket must have some caster wheels somewhere

that does 0-17,000MPH in 33 seconds.

so all your points are invalid.

can we return to topic now?

I personally think he's far from a twat, he makes videos that we all watch (truly viral) which always advertise his company. Clever man I say

Ken Block is a business man, he drives for fun, lets not forget he is the founder of DC Shoes. Anyway i look forward to seeing him peddle an RS200 if he does indeed have one in his next video.
