@@hermanman8235 Judging by the first race, I thought the Nova had the goods. But the next two races, the Mustang proved way more car, and able to put the extra power he had to all wheels. Really a mismatch in some ways. That car he has is famous, for good reasons. It's a beast.
Neither one of those cars would have a chance on an un-prepped surface like this. The Hoonicorn would grenade the drive line on a prepped track. So no, I seriously doubt we'll ever see any of those match ups.
IDK they seem too legit, too fast, you know, if that car is like a 9 sec car, and ruby is like a 7 second car it wont be close. they do however do a shorter dstance, but the differnact must be too great
Just like every episode on here has been a no contest for Ken. He doesn’t like losing, so he’s not gonna race a car that has a chance at beating him....weaksauce!
@@reidthompson8979 Yeah they'd have to put drag tires of some sort on it, and with those cars at that point I assume it would need a complete suspension retune for the different tires.
at the expense of the engine integrity. Clearly, they are probably on the 3rd or 4th engine for this, as they already had one engine blow up on camera.
I think my favorite part of the hoonicorn is how violently it squats every time KB shifts. Not to be too crude but it literally looks like it's just dryhumping the asphalt the whole way down the track.
@@sinister5289 Pretty sure his IT dept at the BEEBOOP skunk works of the Hoonigan racing division installed a "GO PLAID Tune" code in his engine software that he occasionally flips the switch on when he needs to put other drivers in their place. Might explain why she lost a cylinder after the RS3 race #sandbagger #truestreetracer #Spaceballsreference #hooniscience
It’s AWD vs RWD and dudes on a full slick no matter how big the tire is if he doesn’t do a burnout he would have little to no grip cause it’s a non prepped surface and it would even be a race. You can also see that the nova has his launch super low and soft just to increase his chance of hooking up and getting traction. You gotta make the race somewhat fair no one wants to see the guy blowing the tires off like what happened with the donk. The hoonicorn is almost guaranteed to hook up cause AWD hence the lack of a burnout. And even if the hoonicorn does haze the tires Ken just drives through it and it gets traction and away he goes. No one is mentioning it cause the hoonicorn is still lighter and makes more power not even on a prepped track would the races be different tbh. The power to weight ratios are just too drastically different. They need to bring in an AWD car with similar power and weight to really have a good interesting race. Will they do it probably not but it would make it way more interesting if they did.
@@lokihowell7492 i mean no. its not built to be a drag car. it just happens to be insanely fast. i dont see how getting beat by an actual drag car would make them look like amatures or be embarresing.

Leroy would SMOKE the Hoonicorn. He barely beat a 10 sec drag car. Leroy runs in the 8's and Hoonicorn AIN'T catching Leroy up top. In fact Leroy will pull away from Hoonicorn up top. The no prep will make it a little closer though.
Yea don’t like that they changed the distance, was an interesting race but I feel like the guy loses gears or the hp/lb ratio gets him at the end at 1000. Kens car is definitely faster past 500

@@ericxonsamuels4681 I’m pretty sure they can afford to put different axes in. The only car that is going to beat him on that surface is another 1400 hp awd car. I thought this series was going to be the other way around where the hoonicorn would fight for a win. Not him blowing by everyone every time. It’s not enjoyable to watch in my opinion
You know it's solid competition when they crank hoonicorn up to race a naturally aspirated pump gas car. Maximum effort pays off. Epic footage of some epic racing
That guys reaction is priceless “ he didn’t have to spool up or anything, he just left”. Definitely should turn that into a shirt. Idea: no spool needed
Well the hoonicorn does keep racing less powerful heavier cars 🙄.. I wanna see it line up with some of the big awd dogs (any ugr lambo , alpha gtr , red demon dsm, speedfactory civic ect ) or hit the stip and race ruby , Leroy , the trick flow camaro ect .. but then we all know the outcomes of those races
@@tylerfaber8648 for me it almost seems like they dont want to lose Overall😅 Where are the cars with close power/weight ratios?

Both of ol Cleets girls will absolutely destroy this thing. Both cars would do low 7's and ruby probably do a wheel stand and still win.... anyways, I think we both know that haha
@HELLFISH better to sandbag on slow opponents than to get an actual race, right guys? ... guys? For real though, the closest on paper have been the RS3 and Rob. The RS3 would mop the hoonicorn on a tire, I believe it took the W off camera, and Rob was fingers crossed he didn't blow up on his first drive. I get the hype machine, but we need an actual matchup, one they're not worried about filming.
I mean idk what you want from them lol. Last race they gave two cars and the hit. Ken's reaction time was slow as hell and the hoonicorn still destroyed. It's just a ridiculously fast car.
Or any real drag car lol ... the power to weight on twins all wheel drive... but I hope they race a real drag car like ruby or a outlaw and watch that ass get busted
@Elliott Swaby The problem is, there's not many cars that can run high 8s on a street 1/4 or 1000 foot strip . K B' s Mustang is a very well oiled machine for the street. Put it on a drag strip and all his advantage is gone .
@Elliott Swaby watch this one , 8 second AWD Audi RS3 Vs Ken Blocks 1400 hp AWD Ford Mustang Hoonicorn. I can't send links but if you type in the above you'll find what your looking for .
Yea right guys the nova should of stayed at 500’ for the last race and it should be up to the challenger to say what he what’s to do when it’s his choice not the boys suggesting what he should do 👍🏼 Love your channel !!
Seemed like that when they did the rx-7x4 runs with a hurt motor and kept turning it up. Data is data. That platform has some capabilities way beyond its simple cladding.
nope its the 4 wheel drive, if it was just rwd it wouldnt hook as good and would spin through the first 2 or 3 gears, its 1400hp to the rear wheels my friend, with that going to 4 wheels its better all around.
@@gauravdevrani4298 Close ratio sequential 6 speed. Top fuel car needs only a 2 speed, since tire growth at high rpm factors into final drive ratio. 4.5 gallins of Nitro methanol in under 4 seconds in 1320 feet. Tire life? Four passes. Valve springs? Three passes. Clutches? Only the crew chief knows for sure.
he's never raced a car lighter or with more power... never mind both. He stacks the deck in these races. He's also fully sponsored with a huge budget racing small time guys that build their own cars...
I think a 9ff 997 Turbo could do it like the street car one with 2000hp OR a Boba Golf. Germany has a lot of absolute street weapons that could beat the hoonicorn but I bet these guys would not like to be beaten by a MKI Golf at all lol
3a9lani that’s what I’ve been saying lol but Ken B won’t stand a chance against a UGR Lambo lol they don’t know the real street beasts out there, they ain’t about that life
Ken doesn't wanna lose... that's why he has his tuner hop in his car after every run, even if he loses one race he makes excuses and then gives her more juice lol

@@pickles23401 The hoonicorn would snap its axels, that track balances things out
@@pickles23401 True but this series is also an ad for Toyo lol
@@ericxonsamuels4681 I’m pretty sure they can afford to put different axes in. The only car that is going to beat him on that surface is another 1400 hp awd car. I thought this series was going to be the other way around where the hoonicorn would fight for a win. Not him blowing by everyone every time. It’s not enjoyable to watch in my opinion
You know it's solid competition when they crank hoonicorn up to race a naturally aspirated pump gas car. Maximum effort pays off. Epic footage of some epic racing
Ken needs to start adding hash marks on his car door for every car he beats.
Nice 👌
That livery would look like the car went through a thorny briar patch with all the win hashes.
Just the door? The whole car will be covered in no time.
He wouldn't have enough space after a few months XD
Whens he going to race a worthy opponent on here
Another sick drag race! 🏁👍
While with Hoonigan you can do corners and still be a dragster, this red piece of fat wheels shit is good only for straight 400m. Garbage.

Spoiler alert??

you can hear the car bog tho lol
@@zeemonkeyman1 bruh watch the video before reading comments. Casue guess what, people like to talk about the video.
@@JackieTheDoe
Yeah that’s fair
It's like the hoonicorn is learning on its own . Every race. It's pretty impressive how hard that nova leaves on a unprepped surface.
That guys reaction is priceless “ he didn’t have to spool up or anything, he just left”. Definitely should turn that into a shirt.
Idea: no spool needed
“No Spooling: Leave Immediately” in the form of a caution/warning sign, like no loitering signs
Teacher: What do you wanna be when you grow up?
Me: The Hoonicorn
Same bro
Soooo gay
@@internettroll5818 I was gonna ask why then I saw your name
Do one with Cleetus Mcfarlands “Leroy” that would be legendary
Or ruby
James' 240 would be interesting tbh
They won't because Ken will get smoked by any of those cars.
They only race people they know they can beat...
@@billwhitfield7437 the giant ass turbo sticking on to of that car probably slows it down imo
Ken: Drag racing, yes
Best line in the video
Chris P looks EXACTLY like who I would have imagined owns and drives this Nova.
I wish P was his middle named and his last name was Bacon
Lioks like the dude
I love how both race teams are chill about everything and just having a good time with no drama! Great sportsmanship all around. Love it.
"half way through the series" I never even considered this would end. NOOOOO!
chevy won straight up
This is the dopest series ever
The hoonicorn flying by THAT fast just shows how incredibly fast it really is
He lost an engine though. Still fast nevertheless
Or it just lighter with more power
Well the hoonicorn does keep racing less powerful heavier cars 🙄.. I wanna see it line up with some of the big awd dogs (any ugr lambo , alpha gtr , red demon dsm, speedfactory civic ect ) or hit the stip and race ruby , Leroy , the trick flow camaro ect .. but then we all know the outcomes of those races
@@brocks692 or the zr1 lmfaoo
@@ejdavis8215 Well that is generally how you make a car faster, by making it lighter and giving it more power...
Any chance you'd call up Finnegan or Cleetus and run Hoonicorn vs. Blasphemy or Leroy?
Blasphemy is currently down and blown up. Will take a minute for that one to be ready I think.
Yea that would be a dream
Leroy would get gapped
@@wts8924 Depends on what that novas 1/4 mile time would’ve been at that time. Last run he had was 10.60s before the changes. Leroy’s a 7.70-7.80 car
Leroy is too savage for no prep, Ruby might give a good run though
So when is Cleetus going to race you with Leeroy and Ruby???
Leroy and Ruby. We need to spam all of their channels until this happens.
Well Cleetus is in Cali right now.......
They won’t do it
@@FirstLast-vv6lv They don't want to lose by the length of a school bus
@@tylerfaber8648 for me it almost seems like they dont want to lose Overall😅
Where are the cars with close power/weight ratios?
The tires alone are insane...you Guys cant Imagine how grippy those toyos are, i can imagine you just drown a normal car when you launch it with those kinda shoes 😅
Lets wait for some well built GTR's
" The simplest of things are often some of the best of things" Ralph Waldo Emerson probably.
man..... RIP Ken Block
what a legend. i usually don't say this but look at the amount of smiles he puts in people's faces man.... rest easy, champ
HOONICORN VS Leroy
HOONICORN VS Ruby “I got my money on Cletus”
Both of ol Cleets girls will absolutely destroy this thing. Both cars would do low 7's and ruby probably do a wheel stand and still win.... anyways, I think we both know that haha
For sure vs leroy. Ruby is to fast.
Broooo i was thinking the same thing we need ruby to go against hoonicorn
On a unprepared road i think cletus will spin to muxh
Yeah that's a race I'd like to see have something that actually has some competition and not continually race people they know they can easily beat
Wow. A car with less power and more weight lost. Who would’ve imagined
He got him on the 500 tho, pretty good for what it is
@@billgreenly5522 do you realise how close the 500 was?
@HELLFISH Interesting. So that's why they keep saying that Ken is getting faster every run, cause he really does get faster.
@HELLFISH better to sandbag on slow opponents than to get an actual race, right guys? ... guys?
For real though, the closest on paper have been the RS3 and Rob. The RS3 would mop the hoonicorn on a tire, I believe it took the W off camera, and Rob was fingers crossed he didn't blow up on his first drive.
I get the hype machine, but we need an actual matchup, one they're not worried about filming.
Haha word but its for the views wait till the Hondas start showing up
At the end of the day 1400 Hp is still 1400 Hp though. That was crazy.
And 500lbs lighter AND 4wd.
@@wtfiswiththosehandles yeah based on the stats alone you could pretty much call that whole race
Also 2 turbos
I think it would have been interesting had the Nova had at least an additional 300hp of Nitrous.
@Honnigan I really think y'all should reach out to UGR and roll race the 2200hp TT Huracan or just any kind of race dig or roll that would be EPIC
Petition to get a Hoonicorn vs Leroy race set up
MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
yess lets go cleetus :)
bet they're scared
I've seen that hoonicorn at "Need for Speed: No limits"
They are to scared to let their brand car lose lol
"Lost a motor"
Cuz hert touched it.
The second the hoonicorn cracks second gear it's gone, absolutely mind boggling
Nova n hoonicorn looking real thick 😮💨
I love how instead of running the closest race back and doing best 2/3 with that, they move the goalposts to make sure Ken wins
I agree with you but after that second race it looked like he was ahed before even the 500ft mark
I guess they can't take an L
I mean idk what you want from them lol. Last race they gave two cars and the hit. Ken's reaction time was slow as hell and the hoonicorn still destroyed. It's just a ridiculously fast car.
I mean they did give him a hit and much more than “1 car”
@@julianaponte3207 it was also against car that wasn’t even done
The elephant in the room:
Hoonicorn vs. Ruby or Leroy
Hi
Or any real drag car lol ... the power to weight on twins all wheel drive... but I hope they race a real drag car like ruby or a outlaw and watch that ass get busted
@Elliott Swaby Jealous much . Your dreaming .
@Elliott Swaby The problem is, there's not many cars that can run high 8s on a street 1/4 or 1000 foot strip . K B' s Mustang is a very well oiled machine for the street. Put it on a drag strip and all his advantage is gone .
@Elliott Swaby watch this one , 8 second AWD Audi RS3 Vs Ken Blocks 1400 hp AWD Ford Mustang Hoonicorn. I can't send links but if you type in the above you'll find what your looking for .
The look on John's face when he heaes that he's got rod knock in the engine is one of pure agony. Man knows the feeling.
Yeah i know the pain
Bro that Hoonicorn is so freaking fast!!!🔥🔥🔥😎👌
I wanna see y’all race cleetus McFarland in Leroy
Nah ruby
Neither would get the traction they need. Hooni would win on a non prepped surface
An actual street racer with 1500-1800 hp should get the win...
@@Nick-tx2fl I don't know. Leroy definitely but ruby, she's had a decent amount of street digs..
@@stupid19486 you might be right. Hard to know for sure, but the hooni is sick for a car that wasn't even built for this
The guy in the Nova is a true racer. Dude was enthusiastic and easy going...even when he bent a rod!
Sooo this is the new TV? Like it
I’m guessing this is the weekly program to hold us over till we get a redesign of the hoonicorn or something completely new like the hoonifox
Streaming (TH-cam) is killing TV, YT is the new TV.
@@Jmrose-lc2uq isnt he giving away the fox
Why didn't they do the last race as another 500 where they were actually even matched?
Because then ken might lose..
*wipes out laptop for hoonicorn”
Then: “Okay shit more boost more boost”
whips*
Hope y’all hooked dude up with a new motor! Think that would be pretty slick of the Hoonigans!!
@Daniele R you really think them scumbags did that? lol
It's just the cost of competition. Hoonigan owes nothing.
@@lordflufffluff Exactly. He chose to run his car the way he did.
Hell no
That is just the risk what do you think... Somebody ask me to race I say yes and I break my car.
Too bad
I love this guy, definitely the most fun drag races I’ve seen in the series
Yea right guys the nova should of stayed at 500’ for the last race and it should be up to the challenger to say what he what’s to do when it’s his choice not the boys suggesting what he should do 👍🏼 Love your channel !!
Theory: They’re pushing the hoonicorn to its max before they make a new version?
Yeah it's true that's it
it will blow up at some point for sure, dont they have like a cylinder down already?
Seemed like that when they did the rx-7x4 runs with a hurt motor and kept turning it up. Data is data. That platform has some capabilities way beyond its simple cladding.
The Fox Body Version is in the works..
The White fox has been previewed before
Its the Hoonicorns sick transmission that gets him so much acceleration. That thing is mad!
I honestly think he might be quicker if he didn't have to shift as much.
nope its the 4 wheel drive, if it was just rwd it wouldnt hook as good and would spin through the first 2 or 3 gears, its 1400hp to the rear wheels my friend, with that going to 4 wheels its better all around.
I think it's the extreme short gearing coz se he changes gears every second after that thing starts going
@@gauravdevrani4298 Close ratio sequential 6 speed. Top fuel car needs only a 2 speed, since tire growth at high rpm factors into final drive ratio. 4.5 gallins of Nitro methanol in under 4 seconds in 1320 feet.
Tire life? Four passes. Valve springs?
Three passes. Clutches? Only the crew chief knows for sure.
I’d say it has more to do with them two turbo’s hanging out of the bonnet...
Ken looks at camera: “this is a real drag car folks”
Bro what the heck?!! That Hoonicorn moving!!🔥🔥😳 ik it’s fast but omg
Hoonicorn vs Blasphemi would be an interesting race to see, ya know, once they're done putting Blashphemi back together... again.
Ken's definitely got a scramble button in that thing.
Sayce button !!
Or is it a Anti-Sandbag button? 🤔
“The hit and one car” Ken gives him like 2.5 cars and the hit 😂
Ofentse Mwase Films nooo that was almost two full car lengths. One car would be the Hoonicorn front bumper lined up close to the Nova’s rear bumper
@@nicholasf4315 exactly.
I would have liked to see a rematch of the first race Ken said he didn't have a clean start and just a fender.
Ken’s team after the first pass was like, “nah, beep boop, more power”
This series turn to "who can beat the hoonicorn"
Basically, Hoonicorn = Legendary Status.
Well that is exactly what was the intention here lol
he's never raced a car lighter or with more power... never mind both. He stacks the deck in these races. He's also fully sponsored with a huge budget racing small time guys that build their own cars...
I think a 9ff 997 Turbo could do it like the street car one with 2000hp OR a Boba Golf. Germany has a lot of absolute street weapons that could beat the hoonicorn but I bet these guys would not like to be beaten by a MKI Golf at all lol
@@jth_printed_designs agree man
The gearing in the Hoonicorn is insane, just rips!
Damn!!!! Now that’s some good Racin! That Hoonicorn is just plain Nasty!!!🔥
Please never stop hoonicorn vs the world this shit is fucking amazing
My new favorite show
Next : Alpha GTR or UGR huracan , enough toying
now that would be a good match up
3a9lani that’s what I’ve been saying lol but Ken B won’t stand a chance against a UGR Lambo lol they don’t know the real street beasts out there, they ain’t about that life
They don't want no part in my killer Godzilla lol
he ran a 1k hp car running 10secs.. makes no sense. 600hp cars be running 10secs. n/a
Ken doesn't wanna lose... that's why he has his tuner hop in his car after every run, even if he loses one race he makes excuses and then gives her more juice lol
I feel like these guys really make sure they don’t bring out a car faster than the hoonicorn.
Yeah its really getting old and kinda boring at this point.
1100hp drag nova, I’m sure the competition is limited lmao
@@tannercrisp4434 not to mention its a 1100 N/A car, which is impressive imo
