[@jakes1235]

Ken passed while I was at basic training. I still remember the day when one of my friends opened and letter from home and broke the news that he had passed, one of the worst days of my life. Watching this is hard i’m gonna be honest. He was such a special person.

This is the most confident and present on camera I think Ken has been in his entire career. I would joke that zach's been rubbing off, but fr shows the man is putting in work everywhere, big props.

[@dcskate1022]

Huh? He’s had a camera in front of him his entire career and always done fine. He’s just a laid back dude.

[@Idiotresponsibly]

@@dcskate1022 what he’s getting at is that Ken seems a lot more light and humorous as opposed to his normal on camera personality. He’s still chill but it’s the genuine joy and interest shining thru that normally you don’t see cause he’s too focused on the race or seems like there’s something else he has to do

[@nikolaskipp769]

@@Idiotresponsibly agree, I've been a Block fan for over 20 years (still wear DC's to this day) but he's always lacked enthusiasm, which Zach has. If you watched Fantasy Factory to when he got with Brian and Hoonigan, to now You would realize he's much more comfortable with a camera in his face

The lines of the Audi Sport Quattro are some of the best from the 80's. Proper wide body panels, 5 cylinder turbo and AWD. This was a driver's car. What a unit.

[@serviolaa]

[@pe8268]

There are a lot of car sounds that I love but nothing gives me goosebumps like a Sport quattro, this is absolutely amazing!

[@stayve.]

The sound mixing by the editors is so on point. That turbo 5 sounds amazing

[@robertwilliams7626]

My heart rate accelerated with the engine when he launched it

[@LOOKINVERTED]

5 cyl's unique sound comes from its musical equivalent - a 'major third' - that's why they sound so pleasing. V10s too of course still with that dominant major third but have an additional 'perfect fifth' companion (a perfect fifth is the dominant two tone you get from a 6 cyl). V12s - all of the above. (Not forgetting V8s of course which combine the perfect fifth with octave companions giving them the distinctive burble)

[@catinthehat5140]

I want an rs3 now

[@baldheadedmonkeyboy2494]

I grew up in Germany in the 80s and wanted one of these so bad. Had to settle for the UR-Quattro instead, best car I ever had. That 5 cylinder was bulletproof.

LCE Performance, who are the builders of this beautiful beast, deserve way more credit than they were given in this video. Maybe I missed it but I didn’t hear / see their name mentioned once. Share the love, Ken!

I literally was in slc, detailing a coupe quattro from a legit classic Audi enthusiast in UT who showed me the shortblock for a coupe quattro /s1 build he left me to my work polishing HIS version of this car to go drop off to hoonigan in PC utah. Somewhere back in the past years ago. I got to see the dream before anyone aside from whomever at hoonigan wanted it and my friend dave. Id like to think they actually built it and im seeing it YEARS later. This was YEARS ago. The 5 cyl audis are the best sounding audis ever. I own 5, 4 really built. Biturbos, BIG turbos. No VR6, no AAN 5 cyl yet. But man. What a memory for me. Bittersweet now. Made the drive past that place almost daily for years and ALWAYS was waiting for this video to drop. PC utah. Best snow on earth

My friend had on of these Audi's back in high school, it wasn't built up or anything, just a regular one. It had a very small trunk and we had to kick his subwoofer box with two 12s to get it to go in but that shit hit hard, all the bass just came into the cabin.

[@rinnerebirth971]

Possibly one of the most beautiful cars I’ve seen and heard 😍

[@shveylien7401]

Front outside tire not spinning during doughnuts. Maybe you need to bring audi a double locking diff. Spinning out second gear entry with square tire footprint usually means front heavy. Unless that front was never spinning and just anchored you during the first test. From the rewatch, I would say you have too much tire for the diff. Over torqued the diff clutch. Carcaine paint scheme, love it.

[@vwnut8392]

all depends on what they have in it for differentials. if still stock the front is still 100% an open differential especially if the car still retains the RS2 01E 6 speed LCE put in it. that would also mean a torsen center differential with 60/40 bias. rear differential could be anything from an original small chassis with manual locker to a custom fit later differential with open diff or a V8 torsen factory LSD differential. either way all these parts are very robust and will take the abuse for a long time before failure. the car is too powerful to go backwards to an 016 gear box to get the manual locker center with 50/50 bias. ken would shear the input shaft off no problem as the car makes 150-200 more hp than the 016 can support.

[@danielbuse3639]

[@Superthermal]

My family had one of these when I was a kid. It had been modified with a larger turbo and manually adjustable waist gate, lowered, stiffened and was fast a ..... ya... fast. My brother wore out in one weekend a set of Z rated tires on a trip from Utah to Yosemite national park averaging 160 mph with a lunch stop. The tires were worn to the cords right down the center when they arrived back home. Love the Quattro. The front and rear lockers at a pull of a button... awesome, the "4 wheel suspension steer"... awesome. Kickin car!

[@lonelymtbrider3369]

That car is notorious for being hard to control in corners, it goes from understeer to oversteer and back. Guess the short wheelbase and front heaviness is partly the blaim. In any case, that car looks absolutely killer, sounds like a beast, and it's nice to see it create some smoke like that.

[@steveearnshaw720]

Ken, if you haven't figured it out yet, Audi's problem has always been the 50/50 torque split between front and rear diffs. While its perfect for fast times, it not ideal for having fun in. If you can get it to 40/60 front/rear, it should solve the issue.

[@aolsvi1]

It's not a problem. You just go around it, hence the scandinavian flick. The newer B7 RS4 gearbox has better rear distribution, but I guess they already have better centre differentials in this one :)
