Sno*Drift Update: Dave Mirra Stages Epic Comeback

Dave Mirra has learned that to be fast, first you must be patient. Victory doesn’t come on the first stage or the first lap, but defeat is possible at any time. Things didn’t look good for Mirra after a tire puncture on one of the Sno*Drift Rally’s early stages dropped him to fifth place overall. They did, however, look good for Mirra’s teammate, David Higgins, who’d worked his way into first place in the early stages. Higgins’ luck ran out late on day one, when a mechanical issue forced him to withdraw from the rally. Read more

World’s Fastest Subaru WRX STi

Supposedly this is the world fastest Subaru WRX STi which is a bold title to hold considering the massive potential and capabilities of the current WRX STi. No doubt that the STi is a stunning performer but the one of the many demonstrated in the video below, is a monster that is able to make a dash from 0 to 60mph in an astonishing 1.9 seconds. That may cause a mild case of whiplash if you are not careful. That’s almost Top-Fuel Dragster proportions, well… not really, but you get the point I am trying to make.

Ken’s a master of sliding sideways in his specially-equipped Subaru. And as you can see, he gives May the ride of his life — even if he doesn’t have the guts to say it.
