Speaking of Jumping: 170 ft in a Rally STi

I was looking around after the bike jump vids and found this, figured it deserved it's own thread. This is almost as crazy as 394' on a bike. Almost. Overjumped...that had to hurt.

"Video no longer available."
Anyway, I got to meet Travis Pastrana last year at a show (he was at the Subaru booth), and after we talked dirt bikes for a second I made a joke about him bringing his bag of freestyle tricks to the rally cars. He laughed, but told me he and one of his teammates had been working on something special for an upcoming event.

I don't know what he was referring to, but given the crazy stunts he and his crew pull, anything is possible.
