I know the big haters against these videos always see the tire marks and say 'if I tried a million times I could make a good video too!' and call him a talent less hack, but this video helps show that he is in fact a pretty damn good driver

most of the corners/obstacles in the video had little to no tire marks indicating it was not a highly practiced maneuver

I love the sound of rally-ish cars.  Its like a hornet, a bird, some firecrackers all thrown into a blender.

Thats actually how you get matrix style shots where they stop in mid air and the camera rotates around them. But I dont think they did that in the edit so I have no idea what theyre for.

That was fucking sick...so much win.

The Blow off valve on the turbo is crazy, mixed with the Crawford exhaust this car sounds unreal.

there definitely is such thing as a blow off valve on a turbo... http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowoff_valve

and heres a video to prove that blow off valves come on turbos..thats how the pressure is released.

And my mistake on Gymkana 4, maybe he's no longer sponsored by Crawford? Cuz they definitely used to tune his cars for him. They even make a Gymkhana exhaust based on the one on his car...

thats actually not how they do matrix shots. thats called the bullet time effect. The point of have all those cameras was to give the effect that one camera was panning around his car.
