Video: Ken Block Shreds LA in a Ludicrous 845-HP Mustang

• http://www.wired.com, By Alex Davies

The wait ended today with the YouTube debut of "Gymkhana 7: Wild in the Streets of Los Angeles."

We suggest you wait until your boss goes out for lunch and watch the full 12-minute video, but if you insist on taking a peek now, here are the five best moments and where to find them:

0:55—Block spins all four wheels with the car chained up to keep it from moving, à la King Kong in his New York stage debut.
4:56—20 seconds of donuts around Randy's Donuts shop.
7:35—Block blasts past a line of police cars following a white SUV in an ode to OJ Simpson's run from the law.
8:25—Donuts timed to slide under an outrageously bouncing lowrider. This is the part of the video that most resembles a terrifying mini golf obstacle.
9:32—The reminder that when you spin your tires and surround your car with smoke, seeing where you're going gets way harder. Which makes what Block's doing all the more impressive.
