Ben wasn’t lying when he said this video will be coming out way after Dustins! But boy is it so worth the wait. Really great content! Love your channel G&G!
tbh I think Ben and them OVER-produce this channel with all the cinematics and stuff. Bit over the top if you ask me. Just my opinion of course. I prefer a more raw, quick upload like a Boostedbois style..
@@JonHop1 nah, they have a quality standard way above most automotive UA-camrs, and I think that helps stand them out from the crowd. It's what I love most about this channel, it's always a quality upload in terms of both content and visuals.
@@JonHop1 yeah unfortunately the "raw" low effort style of the boostedbois is a lot less fun to watch. I subscribe to this channel (and not to boostedbois) because I like and appreciate the professional editing and composition
@@Hawk7886 Its all opinion.. there a reason BB get way more views and has way more subs.. and so many car channels are WAY less cinematic and over-produced and are doing way better.. For me, its a complete waste of time and money.. Cinematics have their time and place.. this channel is super over-produced like 90% of the time, which is why it takes so long to release. There needs to be a better balance if you are doing this from a business perspective. More releases, more content and the cinematic production here and there equals more content, less money and more profit. And for me, its just as entertaining. These are cars we are talking about. I dont need lipstick on a pig.
@@SamDoesStuff Yeah and their quality standard means more time and money spent with much less profit and for what exactly? To show CARS and racing around a track in some beauty pageant. I appreciate their effort, but their a reason BB and Cleetus have way more subs and views. Its more raw and real to normal car enthusiasts. Ben makes this like a friggen documentary. I watch car channels for to see the real behind the scenes dirty raw experience. If I wanted cinemtatics and a big production, Id watch the Fast and Furious or some car documentary on the History Channel. Again, just my opinion. Their camera work and editing is great, but I think its kinda wasted doing so in a car YT channel.. Go into movie making or something.
Definitely top notch tier content and videography. Big-ups to the G&G team, please keep up the awesome work and content. Awesome driving there Ben and Dustin
I personally dont understand why he went all out spoon but has a stock engine... That makes no sense.. And if he is building a car to compete in Grid his HP numbers are pathetic.. I think the Spoon F22C makes like 275. It is like almost $20K for that engine though lol
@@JonHop1 exactly he’s basically a ricer I personally don’t like Dustin As much he just seems meh to me but this s2000 looks nice all for 200 hp it’s so dumb at least Kwap it or do something Bc all that aero and shit just makes that car slow for somebody who just started tracking
Hey! I am a Honda s2000 - 2001 owner. I've never rebuild the engine, only serviced the head, but tbh the SPOON s2k making 192 WHP is kinda low. Why? I am only comparing to my s2k (only mods are intake - single exhaust, stock ecu) which is kinda a beaten up s2k and it made 192 WHP on a mustang dyno. GREAT VIDEO guys, keep it up!
@Clay S. nice thought! Maybe earlier vtec + shorter diff gear ratio. I honestly dont know, maybe he hasnt rebuilt the engine yet or he didnt test it on a dyno or with an other s2k. I've tested mine with a low kilometer s2k , with a ecu/exhaust/intake + shorter ratio of 4.44 and the difference was chaotic. he could take the race 1/4 mile - 400m even with letting off the gas :P
Having moved from the west coast to Colorado 11 years ago, I laugh any time I hear someone from back east call Colorado the west coast. The coast is a good 16hr drive from us with 2 separate mountain ranges in between. 🤷🏼♂️
Its awesome seeing how other teams are willing to help out each other in these series. I mean you all are out there just to have fun and bragging rights. But at the end of the day i think its just about the fun factor.
That Honda really is becoming a Icon, good on you Short Ben. I keep watching your gridlife videos and looking at the RX8 I got on the driveway, maybe one day.
I'm from CA and thinking the same thing lol. I've been to the raceway and Colorado Spring (beautiful place btw), I'd consider them definitely West but I'm not sure about coast. Maybe he meant that since the event attracts people from the Western states, not entirely sure.
@UCoG8tudR_ePN5SuVLmTYc3A Did you see what he did to that Mugen SI? He butchered it and turned it into just another cookie-cutter, riced out, stance trash piece of junk. You don't do that to limited edition vehicle.
The content is very entertaining but I’m very impressed with the filming/editing. I don’t know what kind of backing you got but it looks very professional.
Went to Gridlife this year. The weather was amazing and I got a little sunburnt but def going back to see you all again soon! Hopefully I'll get my first lap in next year!
Wow I really thought the s2k would smoke the civic tbh, the fact that they're so close is crazy, I knew they handled well but I didn't realize they'd keep up so well
Serious question: Why would he prefer the dual exhaust setup on the s2000? Couldn’t he lose some weight/gain some balance by running a single out the passenger side? Or does it not equate to much of a difference?
@Gears and Gasoline - I don't know if you guys already do this, but you could try to do a "track walk" before you start each day of time attack. Even if it's the same track over consecutive days.
I'm a huge classic car guy, and am building a 65 mustang from the ground up With that said, I love the civic. One day would like to build one like it or a Integra
Another nice Video to watch.. great Channel . Im just wondering, what Oil Viscosity, is used in Dustin's S2000?? And in ur K24 built? Looking forward for the next Honda battle⚡💪
I stopped watching Dustin's videos a year ago. He's the only car UA-camr that knows nothing about cars but has a huge following because of what cars he owns
@@peterretep1010 sure he's probably nice, but his content is him fumbling through installing brakes or Coilovers and dropping his car at a shop for anything else. Meanwhile guys like Jimmy Oakes and Taylor Ray have less of a following but they can wrench and fab circles around him. And they're just as nice
@@az_3kgt714 i mean that's fine I always just felt like dynos are never really that accurate since it really matters what calibrations you use and what type of dyno. I look at it more like take a baseline and then see if with mods you get the number up. The number itself doesn't matter, but if you did mods and it went up 30hp then good you now have more than stock.
DUDE SO MUCH FUN!! Cant wait till next weekend! Thanks for all the help at PPIR!
cant wait :)
SPOON S2000 FTW ❣️
"We'll be back, we'll be back..." yea with hopefully more hp
KSWAP YOUR S2K XD
Really enjoyed the video between you guys, both really good dudes coming together to just race it out

Seriously the quality video and editing is really noticed G&G gang!
"Pulled a Takumi on that curb" DUDE LEGENDARY
Got a bit of Forza Horizon vibes when they showed artist performing on stage
That was the inspiration for the Alpine Horizon festival lol
Dustin's s2000 looks really good. I am not a big fan of headlight covers/deletes but gotta say looks dope on that s2000.

@@FredricMccubrey what u mean Ben's is modified..

"Full SPOON car"
Missing the most important part, the engine

just bolt ons he said. so not much different from yours engine wise.
@@5PYZ3R oh, ok!
SPOON does nothing to the engine.. they tune a lot of other stuff but never touched the engine (at least for the S2000)
i believe dustins ap1 had an ap2 swap at the time

How does this channel not have a million subscribers? The content is amazing
Love that S2000! (Dustins 😎) - Taz.
“Coming out to the west coast…” nearest coast is the Gulf of Mexico.
Which is... West.
@@caileanhamilton9932 the west coast is absolutely not Colorado. The west and west coast are two different things.
wow you're so smart

sell the rx8 and get something else lol. an Rx8 is not gonna do anything but blow up on the track lol
@@kuya_mike7813 and I care about your opinion on my car because?
@@jayharris5460 just a suggestion....
@@kuya_mike7813 just a reply.
The RX8 still alive?
Getting distracted is never fun but it helps you regroup. And get to where you need to be. Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈🎊 Ben.
Yeah.....I am liking the Gridlife content.
The collab we didnt know we needed
Love this channel and being paired with Dustin is a great co-lab 👌🏼
If Colorado is considered the “west coast” then I must be living in the Pacific Ocean 💀

i feel like colorado is mid west
Man I'm in a country and in a financial situation where I can't even get moped but these videos really cheer me up.
Dustin is so underrated! He really puts everything into his work! His editing skills are out of this world. His heart is so big and kind!
I can't stand him. After he straight up _BUTCHERED_ a Mugen SI, I was done with him. He's just another spoiled ricer, imo.
You are wrong. What a shame you are missing out.
@UCoG8tudR_ePN5SuVLmTYc3A Did you see what he did to that Mugen SI? He butchered it and turned it into just another cookie-cutter, riced out, stance trash piece of junk. You don't do that to limited edition vehicle.
I actually love what he did. We will just have to agree to disagree on that.
I follow dustins channel as well he also makes great content. It’s awesome you guys are competing against each other.
This is one of the best produced youtube channels for car racing. Love it!
4:03 is that the vette from the hoonigan video that dropped the other day?
Edit: went back to check and YES IT IS! 1200hp twin turbo
i noticed that too, super cool
Hell yea it is lol I noticed it right away
Ben: *puts wheel inside curb*
Dustin: "NANI?!?"
These videos are always so awesome guys! I knew you would dust Dustin 😂 your civic is insanely fast, but an S2000 still got you! 😜
this video was so fun to watch! hoping for the future vids to come sooner than later!
As always, this channel never disappoints.
Keep it up guys.
10:13 you should try blasting Eurobeat- I hear it adds an extra 50hp!
cant wait for the sti contents! nice vid as always
this is awesome content, props to valvoline for putting $$$ into this kinda stuff. will run val for now on
Loved Dustin in this video!
Man love the videos great work
The trash talk between Ben and Dustin is funny 😂
Damn. Really solid story telling. Great great work as always!
Patrick is a awesome driver... Did wonders with his stock S2000 and now with his FK8 CTR.
Guy's I can't get enough of your videos. Keep it up
Nice collaboration w/ Dustin. Love this channel
I've been waiting for a new vid keen to watch it
Awesome video. I really love watching the slo mo corners
You guys are awesome, thanks for the new vid Ben! Been watching Dustins eg build, sooo good!
A bit late but what a pleasant surprise. Love the content G&G.
Been waiting for your upload. It sure did not disappoint.
The content is very entertaining but I’m very impressed with the filming/editing. I don’t know what kind of backing you got but it looks very professional.
Civic looks good Brotha... good to see you guys living life.... the DREAM!
Very nice video's guys, well done. Love to watch them all.
So is this the really reason Dustin is building a civic.
Thanks, I haven't seen this yet but now you've ruined the video.
@@michaeljames191 Don't read comments before watching a video, Internet knowledge 101
It was the top comment smart ass
No, hes a youtuber, hes doing all of this for fucking content.
@@fredericoespinoza weird...
Finalllllllyyyyyyyy I love this series, I can't wait for every episode to come out.
A properly built civic beat a spoon parts bin S2000 is an A++ in my book. Awesome job my guy.
Went to Gridlife this year. The weather was amazing and I got a little sunburnt but def going back to see you all again soon! Hopefully I'll get my first lap in next year!
Stellar editing as always guys!
the new livery is sick!!
Never disappoints with the quality you guys put out. One of my inspirations for filming
I look forward to the weekly uploads. Keep up the great work guys!
Awesome video as always. Keep it up guys.
Man I love these videos
Very cool video! The win was well deserved against Dustin. Too bad for the class 2nd place, pretty sure you could have pulled it off 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow I really thought the s2k would smoke the civic tbh, the fact that they're so close is crazy, I knew they handled well but I didn't realize they'd keep up so well
Man, you took so long to release new video but it's definitely worth it!!!
Great video dudes!
Great content G&G fan for life
Great production.
Ben Focus on winning your class!! Win your class=beating Dustin. Team Civic here.
Looks really fun there, party and all

rare parts clout lol
Sound limits maybe
Good stuff champ, racing is life
what was that stutter when dustin was saying his hp numbers? is he around 190-210hp?
This was an unexpectedly good collab
Couldn't wait early squad were we at!!!
One day , both Dustin and Ben will be champion !
@Gears and Gasoline - I don't know if you guys already do this, but you could try to do a "track walk" before you start each day of time attack. Even if it's the same track over consecutive days.
Ahhhhhh i see a MK5 GTI going at it on 4:00 !!
As always. Great content!
holy shit Ben, i dont think you said K-swapped once in this video. well done
love how there's also a NASCAR stock car that's going around the track
Amazing quality with amazing people
I'm a huge classic car guy, and am building a 65 mustang from the ground up
With that said, I love the civic. One day would like to build one like it or a Integra
I love this series!!!!
Always love a good rivalry!!
The crossover we've been all waiting for

Favorite channel uploads on my birthday I’m happy
Its my birthday too bro
Stock car, a Grand national, S13, that spoon S2000 with that amazing bumper, mia. What is this? Amazing cars.
If theres one constant in the universe, its that no one at the track uses Valvoline.
190-200hp? stock dino at like 210? did his bolt ons take away power or did he dino it in a higher gear im really confused.
Hes probably talking wheel horsepower and Honda goes from the crank which would give you a higher number than from the wheel.
@@az_3kgt714 no im also talking wheel. At the crank its more like 240. I guess it depends on the type of dino
@@AdonisGaming93 yea that has a part to play to. I know mustang dynos are called heartbreakers for a reason.
