4,000HP NHRA Corvette C6 vs Lia Block's 1,400HP AWD Mustang // Hoonicorn vs The World 2

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- Hoonicorn vs The World is BACK! But we’ve made a few changes this time around... We added paddle shifting to the SADEV Sequential transmission, weird science prototype VF503 wheels from American Racing, all-new livery, and maybe a few "beep boops" to give it a little more GO. First challenger? U.S. Nationals NHRA champion Alex Laughlin and his ridiculously ridiculous 4,000 HORSEPOWER 526ci Hemi C6 Corvette, enjoy!

Hoonicorn vs The World is BACK! Who should we line up against the Hoonicorn next???
Race a jetcar...
Hoonicorn vs Cleetus McFarland's line up.
Mach_E 1400 maybe?
Tom baileys SiCK SeCONDS.
DDE!!
That Corvette driver was super cool, professional and classy. He represents his sponsors and his organization very well.
He has come a long way
Drove for gas monkey, since A.K. left.. Richard was (supposed) to race "street outlaws". But Alex was hired, to drive the Gas Monkey Challenger.
100%
I think he let her win the third race, but I think that's super cool.
What about the passion for the sport?
Just revisiting some of his older videos. RIP KEN, you WILL be missed. The world lost a LEGITIMATE talent!
I really hope Liah carries his legacy and make her daddy proud.
Same here, man. Same here. 😢
Same. Lias Gunna be a beast though.
Doing same' great to see this great guy a little more. From France 🇲🇫
still so unreal for me....RIP #KENKANA
she is so you hoping seeing her @ NHRA.
Fun to rewatch this one. R.I.P. reminiscing moments. I almost forgot how much of a beast Lia is. Definitely Kens daughter. 14 and she's over here treeing an nhra pro. Oldie but goodie! The Hoonigan legacy will live on through Lia
She looked good here. Completely jumped the first race but whatevs.
Lia, we will miss your father, he was such a an awesome person. Hope you can continue his legacy
Kens daughter is definitely making the family name proud
I worded this wrong lmao

Zac: "It's safer than Rob Dahm's car"

This the comment I was looking for
He'd probably be laughing his ass off over that than anything because he knows that more than anyone haha.
Shoving a hand grenade up one's asshole is safer than Rob Dahm's car
What’s that video called? I can’t find it 😭
Biggest loss to the industry since Ayton .
What this man did was unexplainable.
Tragic loss and will be missed.
R.I.P ken Block.
Couldn't agree more with the stament about senna it's like losing another senna but in a different category eg rally f1
What about Collin McRae?
But at least he left his legacy behind in Lia. If she continues in her dads footstep.
I´m brazilian and say yes about Senna and ken block loss, diferent sports but two insane guys
What industry combines basketball and cars?
Prayers for Lia and her family, I know losing her dad is going to be incredibly hard but I hope everyone is well during a very tough time
This is a video about cars and positivity no one is dying on this video so I don't know why you're talking about irrelevant stuff
@@BlownCocaineT-RexProductions Ken Blocks death is a fully relevant topic regarding any topic about cars
@@BlownCocaineT-RexProductions How is it irrelevant?
@@F1Onboards. lol he just gonna keep quiet
@@BlownCocaineT-RexProductionshow is that irrelevant?
On the side from everybody talking about Lia (well deserved applaus), the NHRA driver was the nicest bloke that ever came to this show. Such a nice and humble guy!
100%
He knows it's all just for fun and that the car isn't built for that serface. No reason to be anything but nice.
Totally agree
What's a bloke?
@@Whats-It-To-Ya Slang for guy basically. Commonly used in the UK/Australia
That young lady is lucky as HELL to have a father that obviously loves and cares for her as much Ken does. He has a great kid and I wish both of them the best in their futures. Great episode guys!
The girl has instinct. No training or practice can teach that. I am truly jealous.
@@sherylellingson3538 well I mean they did take safety first and teach her how to fully be capable of driving it safely but also very fucking fast, i still agree thought
I like how homeboy told her she’s got a bright future after losing to a teenage young lady. That shows a lot of character.
@@RaqRedOX i mean he’s probably been teaching her stuff from the get go, but actually putting in the work to become that type of driver handling THAT type of car in a couple of months, that’s something else. wow
Ken should've like: "omg! That thing is fast!" Watching the hoonicorn for the first time from the outside.
The silver lining to this horrible event is lia and block family have hours upon hours of video of Ken to relive memories. RIP Ken ❤
A little tear in my eye... I'm seeing this video for the first time - just days after learning about my favorite driver's passing. Lia is AMAZING. I can't wait to see what she does. And I think part of my emotional response to this video is the fact that my own daughter's name is Lia (now 18 years old)... same spelling... a leukemia survivor (diagnosed at 11). Now I'm a Lia Block fan, too. My condolences to the Block family.
My prayers go out to your lia, hoping you and she are doing well rn
You know what would be insane, bring in 18 yr old Milan and his 6 second 3200 hp TT Viper to take on Lia. Two young drivers going head to head would be epic.
Underrated
HOONIGAN YOU GOTTA DO THIS, WE WILL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER
Yes we gotta see it
I remember watching Ken teaching Lia to do donuts in a RWD car not even two years ago. Now she's doing it like a pro, and in an AWD car. With 1400hp. Damn.
I remember that too. How time flys, crazy
Bet you she's also driving cuz Ken can't be seen in anything not an Audi.
Yeah. I think I called it in the comments for the drift lesson video that she'd end up in the Hoonicorn eventually.
wait how was that over a year ago? i watched that video not too long ago and i swear they said she was 14 in that video, and in this video they say she's 14 too, so how could the two videos be over a year apart?
She's a savage, what a driver
The "luckiest girl in the world" will be feeling a bit less lucky now. Thanks Ken for the entertainment and I pray that Lia and the rest of the Block family get through this tragic time.
No way Jose, that Lia would be feeling less lucky now, to be born with a true super hero for a Dad we all are lucky to have Ken block to inspire us.
There is not a way to express the admiration that I feel for this man.that
I know everyone knows this frase
" I want Viper", in my dreams with all respect " I want Ken".
Make no mistake my friend Lia is a and always be the luckiest girl in the world
“Lia is a savage, her reaction time is….”
She jumped the line.
L comment...the second his arm moves forward is the green light on a tree. His brain said go faster than his arms could communicate
Maybe the 1st round, but that 3rd round was not a jump
For the better part of a year and change I was doing Chemotherapy every other Monday for all of 2020 and part of this year. These vids on Mondays were the only things I would look forward too during my treatments. I felt so weak, numb and disconnected but "This and that" and Hoonicorn vs" plus the comments I feel helped me stay in a positive mind set and helped me heal. No cap. All facts. Thank yall.
Good shit 💯. I been feeling like that too but I don’t know where to get help from
Bless up, bruv!! You're a MF'n fighter AND survivor!
Awesome to read this. I pray you for better health
For what it's worth, I hope you're doing well.
You got it MY guy!
She was smoldering the tires down the track keeping a straight line and had a lightening quick reaction time, awesome race!
I want to see them both on a prepped track
can she do that on a prepped track though?
@@jackmagnium6115 4k HP drag car will wipe its ass with the car she is driving.... like the man said... he spun the tires the WHOLE distance.
@@EliteGeeks yeah. thats very true. on a prepped track. idk. im sure the car itself on a prepped trach can go mid 8s if not much faster
Lol great reaction? That was a jump and a half!
Rewatching all these after the accident.. man their energy and relationship is unmatched. Sending love to the family.
Definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Just here enjoying some of Ken's awesome moments in his memory. We definitely still have a piece of him in Lia. What a savage driver. I hope she will continue to pilot the Hoonicorn in the tradition of her father.
If this isn’t one of those “proud dad moments” I really don’t know what is. 10/10 Little Block 🤘
I can't believe no one made a "chip off the ol' Block" comment!
I fully agree, she did well!
@@porsche911c haha that's great, well played
Tons of respect for that little lady!!!
*Small Block
After seeing Ken and Ford part ways, I never thought I’d see the Hoonicorn again. Thank you lord for keeping this car with us!
I thought the same. Very happy to see the crew bring her back and with a great twist!!! Having lei drive!!!
I think thats the reason ken didnt drive the hoonicorn, i reckon hes legally not allowed to
@@rileystevens5735 yeah, that might be.
@@rileystevens5735 Can you explain to me what you mean by that, Riley? It makes no sense to me. If my memory serves me correctly, Hoonigan owns the car, and Ken Block owns Hoonigan, therefor her owns the car. I’m confused as to why he wouldn’t be able to drive it.
I stand corrected on this. Ford owns the Hoonicorn due to some contracting with the Hoonigans, even though Ken and his crew built the car.
Rest well Ken... You've motivated so many people in life including myself. I know you and Paul are having a good ole time up there.
This video legit made me tear up a little bit. I can't imagine how Lia must be feeling right now.
RIP Mr. Block... Your legacy will live on in our hearts and gas pedals.
Whenever you feel like you're useless, just remember that someone is going to have to administer a driving test to Lia when she turns 16.
Driving in the rain throughout Amsterdam with bicycles, cars and trams around you is more difficult than a drag strip
HAAAAHAAA!!!! I was thinking the exact same.
Hopefully there’s going to be a camera in the car when Lia takes that test. 🤣🤘
@@bombastic00 I can absolutely believe that.
But this isn’t a show about cycling in Amsterdam. This is a show about an iconic American car drag racing other awesome cars. Got it?
@@danajane6674 absolutely, but op was referring to the fact that she doesn’t need driving lessons. But driving a car in crowded cities need more atrention than only knowing how to drive ;-)
@@bombastic00 fairly certain she can out drive you in all conditions any place at anytime.
That NHRA driver is an incredibly good sport not to mention a great ambassador to the sport. Ken's daughter... Scary...I can't wait to see more of her driving!
True !!!
RIP Ken. I gotta say though this is why I love AWD so so much. Not just in a straight line, the extra grip is insane. Back in the 90's I was a poor kid with a legit 10 sec naturally aspirated fox body mustang with, get this: a 410" stroker with steel crank and rods but carbed. It was a blast on a prepped track but dry roads felt like ice. I ran a top loader 4spd because I couldn't afford a tremec trans. I could smoke Eagle GTs at 65 in high gear on the highway just by punching it. Later on I had an 1800lb 66 911 with a carbed and hot rodded 911SC 3.0 liter, another totally tail happy car. Once I got a chance to drive a newer AWD 911 turbo it was all over for me with RWD. Mad props to the NHRA driver for giving it a go on that course and !ad props to Lia, fantastic driving! We all miss your dad, we can all see you are living up to your surname!!!
Wow those donuts were impressive at the end. You’ve got some real skill Lia!
You definitely make your father proud, sorry for your loss. Ken will be in our hearts forever!
From teaching Lia donuts to this.. really incredible. It's amazing to watch Lia's progression in race cars ,.. but the way she handled the 1400 herspers "pony" ,..just wow. Also, i think that was the most down to earth and humble competitor I've ever seen on the show. I had a smile from start to finish. Bravo guys and thank you for sharing this with us! God Bless!
She's a beast
He looks like he's almost 40, she looks 14. It's clearly based on horsepower since she had 1400 in hers and he had 4000 in his 🤣🤣🤣
Hurspers huh? A fellow donut lover I see
I cant believe i was watching her learn to drift only like a year or two ago and now THIS! wow!
@@TheJacyn313 the corvette just had mo powa baby
Alex is fun, knowledgeable, a great sport, and “that’s a real competitor” everything a professional driver should be.
Lea is a complete savage behind the wheel, while still being in control, also a great sport, fun and seemingly humble. Also trade marks of a professional. Keep it up Lea, that was awesome to see!!!!
Well said and the exact thoughts of a lot of us. Kids have amazing reaction times and it shows with her.
This makes me so happy! Way to go Lia, my thoughts and prayers are with ALL of you through this hard time. RIP KEN!
I'm here after the news. Exploring videos I missed before. And Lia is a SAVAGE. You got a great future ahead of you.
finally some real track cars vs the hoonicorn.

You see dragrace as track?
@@diestaatssicherheit9063 yes, they are nowhere near stock, so they are definitely “track” cars in the sense that they are used on professional corses by professional drivers

It would be nice to see a real and fair race. Lia was first over the finish line only when she jumped the start.
I’m saying the same thing this is not even a fair and real race on both of them. The one that was actually the fair race the Corvette one, so I don’t get it why they’re saying oh congratulations to the wind. Meanwhile, she jumped 2 of the races it’s not fair.
The vette is designed for a prepped track....it wasn't a fair race, but one just for fun. Cool to watch.
@@chadcoady9025 To be fair that corvette does not do cold starts very well. Jumped or not the 1st one was in the bag.
It's a 14 year old girl she made one mistake even if they judged it wrong where were you at 14 just watch a cool video and let it be cool
1st and 3rd race she jumped it, would have been dq'd in a race with a tree instead of a dude dropping his arms
Ken’s daughters reflexes on that last run where crazy, she beat a pro off the line, this season is gonna be awesome

Seeing lia’s raging on the hoonicorn is such a wholesome moment. Starting back to watching her drifting the escort to now drag racing a 1400 hp awd monster. Only now does the livery makes sense with the 00 number, the absent of the monster energy sponsor. Props to hoonigan and the vette driver is such a all round humble and very professional sportsmanship driver
i mean its probably not sponsored by ford anymore also so hoonigan is there sponsor for it. that is why they can invite all cars and have a real race, cause when it was ford they couldnt lose, the match up sucked.
I KNOW RIGHTTT i was like this girl finna go places when i saw her in the escort.
@@reggiexp69 yea ken is not sponsored by ford anymore, maybe thats also the reason he can let others drove the hoonicorn now since its his car now i think
@@aalonbullard9320 exactly and if you go over her ig acc you can see her do all sorts of other motorsport disciplines such as rallycross, gokarts and all. I see a bright future for her if she continues with this kind of discipline.
@@ashmars_ ahh yes probably, makes sense, this is way better real comptetiion for the hoonicorn
I’d love to see Hoonicorn vs Mach-E 1400 or Hoonicorn vs Banks Sidewinder S10
That was sick. I was thinking it would be another Hoonicorn blow-out, but the driver of the NHRA car is a savage for even attempting to get a 4k HP car down that road.
I love how they give her the respect of space when shes doing her donuts and not chasing for a shot lol wishing her the best in life in whatever she chooses to do.
Sorry for your loss Lia. ❤
Ken block was my hero. I looked up to him so much. He died tonight in a snowmobile accident. I just don't have the words.
I literally jumped out of my seat when Lia jumped the vette in the first round 🤣. Ken must've been so proud!
That's automatic disqualification in real street racing. Now some dumb people play this "chase is a race", these are the same people that redlight all the time at the track.
@@robertelmo7736 I agree with you 100% but I think we can all give her a slide on being excited in the FIRST HEAT especially considering she can't legally drive on the Hwy 🤣. She was on point after the jump
@@robertelmo7736 Found the chaser!
I thought she took off before it was time lol. Corvette just needed to warm up to when he could jump. Clearly the 2nd, they left at same time and he won. Then the 3rd she pulled another fast one. Lol. But good race.
@@CrashRacknShoot Never.
Can we just add that this just shows how dumb fast the HOONICORN is win or lose? So incredible.
Sure on an unprepared surface. Turn that awd off and let's see. Bring Red Demon out there.

Actually amazed by her talent!
I guess u haven’t watched all the spoiled kid in indonesia probably less than 12years old from motorbikes to cars from drag to track circuits and compare to this. This is nothing
It can’t hurt when you’re born into it
I would say she drives better than me and im a 35 year old that build cars for the drag and drives the drag. Feeldbadman. ^^
@@wafiydeejah So... Just cuz they got born with a silver spoon you should hate on them? Dont hate people born into money, hate people for what they do with their kids rather.

@@vlomman hey , u got me wrong. I dont hate them..I’m just sayin you haven’t watch what those Indonesian kids does compare to this is nothing

R.I.P. to my idol and an idol to many other such an inspiration to so many you will be missed❤️
I just love everything about this channel. God bless RIP Ken You're a legend.
So cool to see this all come together, thanks for having us out! It was an honor and we had a blast! Did I mention how GOOD the driver mod really is, yall wait till you see all 4 smoking and that things going sideways and she stays in it! Thank you for the opportunity!
Now gimme that DEMON! 🤣 so I can race this young lady.
Just watched the BTS video on your channel of the race, you had a lot going against you in this race and you still came out and competed. It was very entertaining to watch!!!
12:12 this is legitimately the most smooth and enjoyable way to do in video to do promoting for companies. Not as in your face as stopping the entire video for a silly commercial that seems scripted, just a footnote like “yeah these are the fluids we use, we trust them,” and just like that I’m hooked.
Ken & Co. are a big enough name that they can probably negotiate a low-keyed plug-in-passing, rather than having to deliver a couple pounds of blather.
Rest In Peace Kenneth Paul block you’re up there ripping the streets thanks for all the memories❤😢😢

Props to the Vette guy for turning down his car and making it a good race on a horrible surface. More often than not every single guy that comes on here with a million horsepower RWD car ends up just blowing the tires off.
You can tell he's got it choked down like crazy, on a good surface he would have been able to blow by the hoonicorn on the big end
@@zachmoritz9856 at peak that vette is hitting the quarter before the hoonicorn off the line
@@zachmoritz9856 on a prepped surface the stang would look slow. It’s crazy how fast it is. But a 4000 hp drag build is gonna smoke it on a track. They should do this with a pro stock car on a prepped surface.
@@buckfutter99 absolutely 100% true just saying it's built for drag racing at a completely different levels than that car is built for but that is probably the craziest one off build that I will always love just my opinion
@@dominicpetrone3605 the corn is one of my favorite automotive engineering feats. It does everything well mostly while been sideways and spinning all 4 tires. It is a magical car no doubt.
Alex Laughlin is a class act. It sounds silly, but a car like that on no prep always has a disadvantage to an AWD car. When you watch the 1320 video no prep races you see that as long as the AWD cars can keep from scattering their drivetrain they dominate. Beyond 900 or so HP it's a traction game.
It’s always a traction game when your talking AWD vs RWD, basically at 370HP and up it’s a traction game.
@@purwantiallan5089 I'm doing well. How about yourself?
@@randr10 not always the case. multiple factors come into play. power, tire width and compound, driveline setup, tuning and forced induction. watch street outlaws when you have a chance. i know this no prep stuff very easily.
@@randr10 it wont matter if someone runs all wheel drive when the next guy runs a 20 inch width drag slick. i have seen countless AWD cars get trashed by literally grudge match spec race cars. in fact i bet big chief could do this
Under normal circumstances the Hoonicorn would of got dragged but on some random stretch of road in the middle of the desert, with no prep and on a conservative tune/launch we all know there’s going to be disadvantages for a car that’s an NHRA dragster, because they’re fine tuned for certain conditions
Rip Ken
Rip to the legend
As a dad… my heart would stand still the moment she launches.
Agreed, I was watching Ken tensing up thinking I would've been fine, not tense at all...after my heart started beating again. I can't imagine putting my little girl in a monster like that or hell my boys either.,
I appreciate the part where they reassured viewers about her training ... w/o that the comments would be freaking out

R.I.P my childhood hero 🕊🕊
Bruh does anyone remember Ken’s “Teaching My Daughter How to Do Donuts” video like a year ago with her struggling a bit at first driving a Vanilla Ice 5.0, to her consistently launching, shifting, sliding, and just generally charging it in the Hoonicorn? 🤯 I was stoked about the Pegs and 3 piece crank on my Haro when I was 14 🤣🤙🏼
was just thinking about this. Like she learned how to drive manual and do donuts only a year ago
Vette driver earned a fan today. I'm gonna look out for this guy. What a super chill, cool and humble guy. You know that vette would crush the Hoonicorn on a prepped strip, but he went safety first and lost to a 14 year old girl with grace and class. Helluva guy. And a helluva day for Lia and Ken.
Yea he couldve kicked her head in the first 2 and gone home, good for him letting her win
if gonna go with a fully prepped strip for the vette, would also need to give the hooni any similar pre run optimization.
edit- and yeah, came back to this for a rewatch after the driving test, vette guy is cool, and the evolution of Lia has been something that is just so wholesome to see under Ken and Lucy's parenting.
Awesome Car !
Awesome Driver !
Awesome Guy !
I just found out Ken passed away. I had to come back and rewatch some videos.
Wow, it's hard to watch this again without being a little heart broken. RIP Badass father, racer, HooniJockey, and super cool guy.
As a dad my self feeling the dad feels watching Leah do donuts I can only imagine how Ken feels. Proud moment for sure.
Haha yes great to see. Its even worse, proud for him see that kid literally smoke an nhra driver, beat him on reaction time and his own game. Not to mention she doesn’t lift for a second spinning the wheels more than half the track.
25% proud / 75% absolutly FEAR. That most be a really painfully happiness moment.
@@carstutorial yes for sure. Even if you know they got the skills.
As a father of 2 daughters... I can only imagine how Ken feels after this race and seeing how his daughter controls the car 🤜
I’ve also got two daughters (8 and 15) and was thinking exactly the same. I mean, I’m super proud of Lia and I don’t even know her! She was incredible!
I can imagine how he feels before and during the race too! 😂
its just insane how close this was, what an epic race!
For some reason, this is the first video I thought of when I heard Ken passed. RIP
At only 14 and she has all the confidence in the world. Mad skills! Reaction times are top level. Keep humble and you will go far young lady. To the NHR driver, congratulations on being a champion and humble. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Being humble is overrated when you’re better then everyone else at a given task
@@smm7540 id firmly disagree. Being better doesn't give you right to be an ass. I know that's not what your implying but still. Being genuinely nice, regardless of skill, is always the best road to walk down.
@@TheDarkPacific and prefer to be nice and Cocky
Can we just take a second and admire the level of confidence drift cleanliness Lia is performing at the end??!! Block Legacy is promising!!
Ain't gonna lie, I felt proud-dad-tight-throat seeing that, and she's not even my daughter!
Best donuts to date on this vs. that.
Especially considering it was a few months ago she was just learning how to drift in the Foxbody!
Love these videos. Such a great man and father. RIP KB.
That's one proud father right there good job Mister block
Can't wait to see BoostedBoiz Kyle in the MR2. That little beast rips.
If Kyle can keep the damn wheelies down absolutely
I'm more excited about that than any other car in the series.
@@antonioortega5365 I doubt it will wheelie on dusty unprep
Most likely going to miss shift 3rd on the sequential lol
No prep is going to be a challenge
I don't know why nobody is talking about how great Lia is at driving. She is insane for a 14 year old.
Seriously!
She’s insane for any age!
Literally everyone is talking about her 😅
not even for her age, she just is good
Jumping is not insane, anybody can do it
I will say lia your one hell of a driver an definitely following your father as Ken was a inspiration to me as I kid an he will always be carry on what your doing it’s amazing ill be glad to follow you in your travels ❤️
So awesome and wonderful for her. Still in tears over this huge loss😢 but I’m so happy for Lia!!!
That kid is living all of our dreams. I'd pay thousands to drive the Hoonicorn for a day.
Bro I am 15 and I can't drive a car
@@johnxina9853 Learn then.
@@johnxina9853 just one more year till you get your permit 🤘🏼
@@Randommmmm204 bro where I live you can't learn driving until you are 16 a few more months and then I will start learning
@@johnxina9853 Where I live you can't legally learn until you're 18, but I knew how to drive since I could reach the pedals which is like 9 or 10 years old. Tell your father to teach you. If you want something, work for it. Don't find excuses. That's not how you get far in life.
that was a great race. Alex is an awesome sport considering he had a lot going against him on this but it was fun to watch. The last time I saw any footage of Lia was when she was trying to learn how to do figure 8's/learn how to drift with that fox body...look at her now! nothing but pure confidence in her abilities.
I thought this was new till I seen Ken and then I saw that it was 1 year ago.. Big props to her, would love to see her back
1 year later, let brings hoonicorn vs the world back! Lia can absolutely shred that thing!
yo props to lia for living out every teenage boys dream, truly amazing
I love how they're not driving in a straight line, they're floating across the ground persuading the car into the right direction
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
I would love to see that Mustang coming to Sweden and compete the latest winners of Stockholm open and Street week over one eighth of a mile, 1000 ft and a quarter mile. Or you (Hoonigan Mustang team) just come over and compete in Stockholm open or Street week.
Watching this video remembering such a great man with a great talent.. 😢 Rip ken block you will be missed and never forgotten 😢🙏🌷
I’m almost certain he’s not running that vette all out as fear for it not hooking abs losing control
As much as I love the Hoonicorn, aint no way it would beat that 4000HP monster on any actual dragstrip, full stop.
All this is true, but I prefer cars which are fun and usable in the varied situations of the real world, rather than one trick ponies which need a specially prepared 1/4 mile stretch to do "their thing". That the Hoonicorn could get anywhere close to a dedicated drag car in a straight line makes it worthy of respect considering it could also be used on a rally course or winding road where the drag car would have no chance.
@@rosstee the thing is that they knew it was a drag car so it's not gonna perform it's best on this type of strip
@@josuelozoya1599 True, and I'm sure the drag car is even more impressive on the strip, but the fact that it needs that specially prepared surface to reliably win makes it less of a car for me. If you're on a drag strip you're going to extremes and there will be something even more extreme and even less practical that could beat you. On real roads/real world situations the Hoonicorn is an incredible all rounder that very few can match.
@@rosstee how can you say that as if the hooni doesn’t need special requirements lol again how come the they don’t take the dragster head up on the strip? Oh yeah because the hooni wouldn’t be able to perform as it requires a need for asphalt to perform at its best lol I love the hooni but these guys did all the math for that car just to get it right and outrun damn near anything so when they come up with these races they already know who’s going to win thanks to math and science lol I would love to see the hooni step out of its environment to race and if I’m not mistaken the hooni is a 1 trick ponie as well we love to make excuses for the hooni I wanna see how it performs on a drag strip this is like telling a football player to try and outrun an ice skater with cleats on lmao
Lia block definitely jumped on the first run and they saying her reaction timing is on point 😭
Agreed but I mean she's fucking 14 Soo she gets a pass lmao
Haha for sure
yeah but bro still chased so its a win regardless. 3rd race was actually pretty sick reaction time
Jumped on 3rd run too… first run was really bad but still cool to watch. Have seen the Bette run in person…INSANE
@@erickromero010 lmao 3rd race wouldn't have made a dif she was 3 cars ahead 🤣
❤❤❤ just rewatching all the good memories as a fan. I hope so hard that everything is better than suffering, which just means I hope everyone is ok.
Hoonigan will never be the same without Ken. I will truly miss you.
16:34 One of the BEST reaction time I've ever seen, she literally took off when he started to moving down his hands.
Yeah that was incredible she’d be great on the drag strip
That's why kids always kick ass in cod they have faster reflexes 😆
You time the tree in drag racing dont try to take away from what she did, a hand drop is MORE unpredictable
cheat you don't move before hand down
That's a jump.hlbut however she just smocked the race
The Hoonicorn is a beast, I can't imagine how much goes into driving it. And she is 14! This was one of the most impressing things I've seen in a while.
Just think of all the times Ken said that car is trying to kill the driver.
yes. the hoonicorn is the best thing that ever happened to a mustang. THAT SHE CAN DRIVE THIS THING LIKE THAT, AT 14, AMAZING!!!
This a awesome show!!!! I love it!!!! Keep it coming
im so hurt bro i just find out he passed away and im a huge fan smh thats what happens when u take a social media break for a year .. but rest up king u really a legend u the reason i want to learn how to drift now thank you for all the amazing content its timeless
