Yeah his older STI vid was amazing but with the showmanship and drama of this one he's raised the bar for badass car vids...

For YouTube it's really easy... just put the "v=" parameter value from the URL in the embed tags like this (remove the "*")

Code
[*embed]HQ7R_buZPSo[/embed]
[*embed]mWJKG_FXGZM[/embed]
[*embed]56z5sS9_g0k[/embed]

Finished product (great videos by the way)

I love the creative aspects of this style of driving. The designs are almost endless however the scope of the area being used shows that only the most elite drivers need apply. The scene where he's drifting close to the edge of the harbor where there's water?!? Yikes! My *** would have gone over the side into the drink!

Does an RX8 float? I need to look into that.

The guy has the most insane car control of anyone I've seen. I saw the build video of this car, took like 800 man hours in all, nothing is stock at all whatsoever.

That's just amazing. If it were up to me I'd have American kids everywhere worshiping this guy rather than illiterate NBA thugs and juiced-up MLB cheaters. What skills! I wonder if we'll ever see an American on a WRC podium. I'd say our chances are better now than 5 years ago.

I couldn't remember everything, but I know it's a Crawford closed deck block, bored to a 2.65 liter, forged everything. Has a redline of 10.5k rpm.
