Beat a 125 shifter?
Sure.
All it takes is the combined efforts of a half-dozen European tuning companies, tons of boost, several hundred thousand Euros, and the Ford Motor Company.
Now, if we could get McLaren to build a 125.................

LOL, you could almost buy a shifter for less than the wheels and tires on the "Fiesta"........I'd like to see them do that race against a 250E

Volk TE37's are about $900 each... Then $200 each per tire. [that last ~10min MAX]
I wish I had that budget for a kart!  Much less the $150K it took to build the "car".

Ken Block always has some pretty sick video's tho!

This is his first year, in a completely new car... He'll do fine I think with more seat time and when his comfort level rises...
+1 for USA drivers!
