Fast cars and hot girls, is there anything else a red-blooded American man needs to be happy? If you ask us, nope, that just about covers it. And while there are literally millions of photographs of attractive women posing with attractive automobiles, the latest rage seems to be taking scantily-clad models and sitting them down in a race car to see how loud and long they can scream. Except it doesn’t always work out that way.
Jalopnik came across this video of a swimsuit model riding shotgun with world renowned Gymkhana driver Ken Block. Not only does the lady look nonplussed, she doesn’t let out even the barest hint of terror or excitement during the almost four minutes of ride time with Block.
Either this woman has nerves (and a stomach) of steel, or she is simply unimpressed by the master of Gymkhana’s driving skills. Thanks to the Vbox attached to the car, we can see that Block maxes out at 1.06 lateral g’s and a top speed of 60 mph. That may not sound like much, but considering that Block is weaving in and out of shipping containers, spinning around cones, and generally hooning-it-up, we were sort of expecting more of a reaction from this barely-clothed female.
By the end of the video, she gives a brief squeal of excitement, and that’s about it. Really, we’ve got to give this lady credit, because she goes along for the whole ride without whining, and it seems like she genuinely enjoyed herself. Our only real complaint? What’s the point of having a scantily clad woman in the car if we can’t hardly see her in the video? There’s this thing called High Definition cameras, and we think team Block needs to invest in some.
