Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself
This video has some good stuff in it. I like the rear and front view camera angles from the other cars.
Eye Candy
I’m always on the lookout for good vids for the Rides section. Not only do the cars have to be raw, camera work, cinematography, editing, and soundtrack are a must. Nothing is worse than a great video overshadowed by a misfit EMO song.
The following fills the criteria.
P.S. happy new years

Risky Devils DUDE!
Ken Block’s Trax STI
Ken Block is the man. He has been an innovator of the automotive industry as of late with his gymkhana vidoes. He’s now set the bar even higher. The DC Co-Founder and Rally Team Driver has joined with Subaru to make the world’s fastest cat track operation automobile for backcountry access for snowboarding.
Dubbed the TRAX STI, The TRAX STI is an experimental automobile that starts with Block’s competition-ready Subaru WRX STI before ditching the tires, adding snow cat tracks, and upgrading to some next-level suspension to create the ultimate backcountry shred car. Prepared by Vermont SportsCar, performance modifications include 400-hp and features Group N competition rally dampers made by EXE-TC and a KAPS 5-speed close-ratio dog-engagement gearbox. Under the hood sits a 2.5 liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine tuned with a MOTEC M800 ECU.
This is just sheer chuck norris roundhouse kick in your face awesomeness.
It’s Here!: Introducing the Lexus LF-A

Specs (don’t know if they are verified or not):
- 4.8-liter 72-degree V10 putting out 560 hp at 8,700 RPM (that’s 116.5 hp/liter) and 354 lb.-ft. of torque at 6,800 RPM
- Redline: 9,000 RPM
- Titanium valves, connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, dry sump lubrication and a titanium exhaust manifold
- Six-speed sequential gearbox
- Torsen limited slip differential
- 3,263 pounds with a 48/52 front-to-rear weight distribution
- Power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 pounds/hp
- 65 percent of the body is carbon fiber
- 20-inch BBS wheels wrapped in 265/35 ZR20 Bridgestone tires in front and 305/30 ZR20 in the rear.

- Top speed of 201.94 MPH

Supposedly, the car is going to be very limited production and may have a $400,000 price tag. We’ll see about that when there’s official word.
Certified. Effing. Fire.
All Star Bash
It’s sweetest day, and since I lack a girlfriend, I do what most guys do (errr not that). car videos and beer.
I’m a huge movie head, so I hate bad cinematography and I absolutely hate bad soundtracks. When they all come together, they can create one amazing product.
All these cars are oozing with personality. Some might not be the prettiest, but I would rather look at these tracked drifters then lame garage queens (yes euro owners im calling you out).
