@@AlexApger Hey man, I'm all for them talking about the builds in depth, I think what pushes the race start that far back though, is how much ad space sponsors have bought out this season, plus there's like 3 cutaway disclaimers/intro info clips that are repeated every episode too. The boys gotta make their money somehow so the sponsor ads are fair enough, and I'm sure the new viewers appreciate the hoonicorn breakdown each episode, but that's why I do these timestamps now! I've watched every episode and end up skipping through myself, so figured I'd just save other dedicated viewers like myself some time in the process :)
she should honestly be careful about dumping torque between shifts, that's where all the tire temp is coming from. It's quick but it's also the same thing that snapped the shaft in an earlier ep. its good that she can keep it open, but damn it is sketchy.
@@procerus3654 the hoonicorn is really well setup for specifically what they are doing, at least this time most cars are losing due to traction. Last season they kept putting heavier cars with way less power against the hoonicorn and acted like they had a chance
Block Jr. is spectacular in handling the Hoonicorn for her age but she's far too green in terms of reaction. She'll get there with experience but at the moment she mostly tries to go by rhythm. Once in a while she gets it dead on but more often she jumps. I always find it amusing when they start going on about her reaction time especially when she jumped.

Dude.... Even on a bad surface I'm sure the MR2 can go 8.5, the way the hoonicorn runs it down, even while the MR2 is in boost is insane. I can't believe how easily it runs down something that fast.
Damn I remember reading magazines in Brazil about FuelTech when I was young dreaming about my first car. And here they reached, in a Hoonigan's video providing a 1300hp MR2 K20! Props to the team!
So happy to see Kyle make it onto the show, been following his channel for years! Loved watching y’all geek out over him being able to explain everything about the car in detail! Glad to see a real driver that really knows his car because he built it from the ground up on the show!
Hoonicorn is always a beast but today it looked like it was shot out of a railgun. I loved that zoomed out shot of Round 2. So bonkers. Would love to see it on a drag strip just once
Yeah, I don't see anything really being competitive that's not 4wd on that track. Hoonicorn would probably break a ton of stuff if they used prep though.
@Robert Meulman yeah and these guys are always sandbagging that hoonicorn you can see in several of the runs that sometimes it's not as fast as other times they're smoking the tires all the way down the track if you're going to be doing stuff like this you should be going balls-to-the-wall every race no-questions-asked

@@N4CR They’ve raced both the rs3 and the kimbo slice gtr which is the only same horsepower awd cars they’ve raced, and both of them smoked the hoonicorn. Seems like this is their way of proving a point that last season they were racing against sub 1000 hp cars and now they just go and pick big hp number cars that obviously will lose on unprep surface. I mean they can at least run no prep cars that are rwd like beater bomb and the other no prep kings to prove their point
@@joejacobsen6822, What has he got sponsored for on the MR2?. Anderson has hooked them up with a Fueltech. Hux racing supplied Him a set of motor mounts. He paid JBR for the engine. He purchased the parts and built the transmission himself. There might be some other little things that he has got sponsored or at cost, but most of the build is paid for by Kyle.
I didn’t realize how light the mr2 is. The power to weight ratio is insane I can’t believe it’s only about 2300 pounds. That’s super light for 1300hp at the crank.
All you hear from the MR2 is the tractioncontrol, and the Hoonicorn just putting it down on a way more clean surface!! At no time this was a clean race.... I would love to see those cars both on a real dragstrip.... I think the outcome would be very different.... Nice though seeing a 14 year old kid rip 1400Hp like that!!!
Hoonicorn would break on prepped surface.remember lia already broke shafts on this surface, imagine the stress on a prepped surface that can make the mr2 wheelie
Either that MR2 is hurt or they turned it waaaayyy down for the unprepped surface. Hoonicorn was pulling at every point during the race, even on the top when you would expect the MR2 to have an advantage.
Even if the MR2 wasn’t turned down they’re going to be decently close on top end and the Hoonicorn is getting out of the hole so much better it’s just going to carry all that extra speed the whole way down the track. The bigger engine makes more power overall even if the peak numbers are close.
The episode I've been waiting for!!!! So proud of Kyle and how far he's come. AND everyone else who's on or been on the BoostedBoiz team and helped kyle get to where he is
It's cause they're on a no prep surface, the only people that race no prep are street racers and they don't want their builds and faces all over the internet. There's really not much competition for the hoonicorn on this track unless you want them to keep bringing on GTRs lol
The MR2 on a track would have a chance. AWD on a no prep that they have driven on for 2 seasons isn't exactly a fair race from the get go seeing how Kyle literally got 3 test passes and when he asked about a water box to at least do a burnout to heat the tires he was told no.
Very proud of these young gentlemen. I haven't even watched the video yet, but they've come so far and they are absolutely dedicated. Merry Christmas to the whole hoonigan team and the boosted boys family much love from Arizona.
While the first season it didn't seem like they were even trying to get good matches I do sympathize that the kinds of cars/owners that are making the power to run with the hoonicorn AND willing to come to Cali AND willing to race on a sketchy airport runway are probably very slim
@@Ehren1337 Someone else mentioned how hoonicorn always gets the side with all the rubber. Never noticed that before but you can see @11:57 the difference from lane to lane is huge. Would like to see them swap lanes each run, first run coin flips determines side. But I doubt they'd do that.....
Lia's mom was hillarious 🤣 this is not okay 🤣 your daughter is an absolute savage and has a natural talent kudos to you and ken for raising a driving allstar ! 🔥
13:07 That is a ridiculously quick accelerating car. Amazing what 2000hp can do. 7 sec car never had a chance on an unprepped surface against an AWD. Also nice when a car has basically no expense spared on it. MR2 is amazing, but that was built with a mere mortals wallet.
This was great fun for all of us who followed Kyle since he was making ebay power in a clapped out hatch. You have come a long way and acted like a true sport today. Lia is an animal in the Hoonicorn. Reaction time is flawless. See stays in it and drives when it lacks traction. And the best donuts on UA-cam. She has a bright future in this sport.
Ken has the good sense to respect a well built car when he sees it. C'mon....a 4 cylinder making over a thousand and not on nitrous. Respect for sure. And Lia... I want to see her taking Drivers Ed in school. Sure to be a few interesting moments there. Especially if she can drive Dadd'ys car. LOL
@@ricknoah9184 that should be her drivers ed promo, her showing up in one of kens old fiestas and slaughtering it with a teacher who isnt in on the joke.
Not thinking they do this to lose. It promotes the game, the Hoonicorn and the Block franchise. And it is great fun to watch even if is is clear who will win. If they wanted a "fair" race they'd rent the track for another day to allow the guest racers to dial in.
These are starting to become too predictable 😂 Glad to see Kyle has come from a long way though! Back when he was just doing it on the street with his hatch
13:07 This is the shot yall need to remember anytime you pair a RWD car against AWD. Unless you're 1000lbs less weight AND more power, it's not remotely fair.
That, and Kyle had to turn the mr2 WAAAYY down from 50+psi of boost to 30psi and still had the traction control pulling timing. Still an insane race from both of them.
So SXSBlog’s 2JP was heads up and lost by half a car in the second. Don’t know why they didn’t give them a 3rd bonus race. They would have been hood to hood on that bonus race. The RZR gave the Hoonicorn the best run yet.
Alright just gonna call it. Sandbagging or the Hoonicorn makes more power than y'all proclaim. At this point, just give us a LEGIT dyno run or two different dynos and I only say that because all dynos don't read the same.
Yea I'm getting anooyed with these videos evey damn time they line something up and give the numbers out it doesn't add up. Using the power to weight ratio calculator in this video the mr2 should have pulled on the top end insanely hard vs the hoonicorn once hooked. They aren't stating the real numbers this car is making realistally like 1700awhp. I don't get why they are doing this .. it's really unfair to claim your making 1400awhp then crank it up to nearly 2k awhp and then the other car comes prepped to race something that's not even close to what they expect. Super unfair hoonigan Dyno this car on the tune it was in this video. It was def not making 1400 like it's got a scramble boost button or something
@@rhett7716 exactly,....Kyle said that its turned down to around 600hp with traction control on. They normally run 50+psi of boost and here they were running 30psi
If you think they are going to give you fair races.. yeah nope. Almost everything is a rwd street car vs tube chassis 4wd race car. The fact hat some come close is enough to impress me. The hoonicorn isn't impressive, it's a race car that is good for one thing, racing unprepped straight lines. Take it on a hill climb vs real race cars and it'll break and or get smoked at the corners due to shit aero.
@@daytonrhine5167 No grip. All these races are is who has more grip and less weight. This is why the Tesla did so well, it has LOTS of grip and torque and better traction control than the hoonigan. If it wasn't 2klbs heavier it would SMOKE it.
Rip Ken block...one of the greatest to ever touch a steering wheel. Prayers and condolences to the block family and the friends at Hoonigan...thanks for everything Ken.
The hoonicorn is set up to win. A full day of testing against kyles three test passes. MR2 was at 30 psi so I’m guessing about 6-700 hp? There’s no doubting that mustang is stupid fast though. The AWD definitely helps 🙂
Next season it needs to be on a drag strip. Internet quotes hoonicorn at 9.9 1/4 mile which is sandbagged a lot as it runs much faster when they think they have a harder opponent
Two things: 1: Put the car on a fucking drag strip if you're going to race actual drag cars. 2: be upfront about the real hp, sxsblog said this car puts out 2000 hp at the push of a button.
yeah they are capping about the horsepower, its got boost by gear or a scramble. Either way its making 1600+ at the top, watching the plaid race it proves its faster than they say or have dynod
@@rhett7716 plaid had lot of grip its nearly a hoonicorn heavier, plus vastly superior TC. The plaid shows how slow the hoonicorn is, it's barely an 8s car.
Now try racing some of the guys from Street Outlaws, those would be some insane race’s and insanely good competition. Much respect to the hoonigan team!!
@@N4CR idk I think it might have a good run still and they obviously don't care if the hoonicorn loses since they were ok with someone bringing a 6sec gtr.
I’d be interested in seeing the Hoonicorn vs all the car’s it beat on a prepped track. That AWD on that surface just books. RWD car’s don’t have much of a chance from a dig on that runway.
@@rhett7716 that's not the only thing, there's a gap of 400hp between the tesla model s plaid, and the hoonicorn, and also TWO FREAKING THOUSAND POUNDS of difference, that's not fair. We need a vehicle that beats every stats of the hoonicorn (with methanol injection), to avenge all the other cars that has been defeated against the hoonicorn, and ALSO a prep track.
My dad got me into riding and then building motorcycles and dirt bikes when I was 11, so I think that's really cool you and your daughter are doing it together as well. ✌🤘💯
@@luigikilla5821but the GTR did beat the mustang. On a prep surface the GTR most likely would have beaten the mustang even more. I agree. But Im dealing with this surface here.
@@timjeanjaquet5576 a shit box isn’t always about how it performs, sometimes it’s about how it looks. You see any rusted out Chevy C10 and you say “that’s a shitbox” but then you find out that it regularly pulls tree stumps out of the ground and hasn’t had an oil change in about 10 years
The key here is banging thru the gears and NOT trying to stretch out the gears/ over revving the engine where horse power actually drops off the power curve.
Zach: "I know what you're thinking" Me: "Yup, skip ahead time!" So many cookie cutter segments in these videos to skip through... Lia is a savage behind the wheel though! It is crazy how slow the Hoonicorn can make a 7-second car seem.
As a person who owned two of these lovely cars once upon a time, this was a dream come true race. I wonder what would happen if he had the 3rd Gen 3SGTE engine in it same hp.
The same thing. He had it turned way down and still did a 1000ft burnout. Kyle said in his video they were probably making 600hp and still no traction.
Well he was lightweight rwd on an unknown surface and she was in 1400hp awd sequential on proxes toyos which are advertised as “the stickiest of the icky” so….. Maybe if it was on an actual drag strip the mr2 would actually hook and it would be a good race. But we all know that will never happen lmao
The mr2 itself has already won. It fought against a car with literally twice the engine (8 cil bi-turbo vs 4 cil single turbo) and twice the traction (awd vs 4x2).
@@dlg78 but... not so much faster. Doble engine, doble turbo, doble traction... some seconds of difference. 😂 And... honigan bring a drag car for a track with "no preep". Some kind of coward. 😉 And... I think looking the video that ken's car is 1400hp only in the first race... because the car is really faster on second race than the first race... More than 1600hp.
@@dlg78 nops. Because the power is only a peak. Isn't a constant. Compare a naturally aspirated 4cil engine of 200hp with a 4 cil turbo engine of 200hp and a electric car of 200hp. All cars with the same weight, type of traction and tires. Put all in the drag strip. The flat torque of electric car put all cars behind with a larger advantage. In second the turbo, with torque coming in the low rpm. In third the naturally aspirated. Power is not a comparison unit.
@@TheOzBR no, they won't. The only torque that matters is torque above the gear shift point. Go and drag 3 of the same power vehicles, and you'll have near identical trap speeds. In fact ironically a 200hp n/a vehicle will be revving much higher than a Turbo 200, and hence can then take advantage of shorter gearing and improve acceleration. You're not a low rpm when drag racing, your car will most likely never be below 4000rpm.
This would have been a lot closer race if they were on a normal drag racing strip. The only thing that I can think of to consistently beat the hoonicorn is a stripped/lightened Tesla Plaid. The hoonicorn is just perfect for this track.

The clip of Kyle's face after the moon tune wheelie was hilarious 😂
Legend. RIP Ken
Lia needs to keep running the hoonicorn! Not just in memory of her dad but because you can see how much joy it brings the 2 of them!
Sadly they lost the car after Kens deal with Ford ended, Ford basically took the car back.
@@preachernick6413 that was the hoonitruck, the mustang is actually owned by hoonigan racing
Kyle’s a legend proving you don’t need big sponsors to put down big numbers ✊🏻👍🏻
Don't kid yourself. He has plenty of sponsors.
Yea UA-cam money is no joke
Do you need big sponsors when your old man is sitting on millions?
@@michaelgamble2848, Who's old Man?
@@joejacobsen6822, What has he got sponsored for on the MR2?. Anderson has hooked them up with a Fueltech. Hux racing supplied Him a set of motor mounts. He paid JBR for the engine. He purchased the parts and built the transmission himself. There might be some other little things that he has got sponsored or at cost, but most of the build is paid for by Kyle.
This is so awesome! I'm so happy for you Kyle and the Boosted Boiz Crew! I can't believe this was put together!
I want to see the hoonicorn on an actual drag strip. I’m genuinely curious on what time it would run
It would break
It would run a DNF. It's broken parts on a no prep surface so it would definitely grenade something on a strip
it would snap all the axles if it hooked
Well they don’t have to launch at max power, there are things like ramping boost😅
@@need_more_lives2974 then it wud be sloooow !!😣
I didn’t realize how light the mr2 is. The power to weight ratio is insane I can’t believe it’s only about 2300 pounds. That’s super light for 1300hp at the crank.
It's like 2700ish stock iirc
All you hear from the MR2 is the tractioncontrol, and the Hoonicorn just putting it down on a way more clean surface!! At no time this was a clean race.... I would love to see those cars both on a real dragstrip.... I think the outcome would be very different.... Nice though seeing a 14 year old kid rip 1400Hp like that!!!
Shit yeah, the mr2 smokes the hoonicorn at Bradenton
Hoonicorn would break on prepped surface.remember lia already broke shafts on this surface, imagine the stress on a prepped surface that can make the mr2 wheelie
Y’all forgetting the hoonicorn isn’t built for drag racing but the mr2 is so of course mr2 would win on a drag strip
It's so crazy to see where Kyle has come from to where he is now! Thank you guys for giving him the chance and having him here. 🔥
Either that MR2 is hurt or they turned it waaaayyy down for the unprepped surface. Hoonicorn was pulling at every point during the race, even on the top when you would expect the MR2 to have an advantage.
Not even close of a race. 3 cars + hit, still loses 🤦♂️
Not many rwd cars are going to compete with the Hoonicorn
Even if the MR2 wasn’t turned down they’re going to be decently close on top end and the Hoonicorn is getting out of the hole so much better it’s just going to carry all that extra speed the whole way down the track.
The bigger engine makes more power overall even if the peak numbers are close.
It was pulling timing like crazy the whole run due to traction loss. You can hear it
Need to stay on the strip. Mr2 was at a massive turf disadvantage
I really want to see the Hoonicorn on a good prepped quarter-mile track now!!
right like wtf this things a literal monster
Yeah we can really see the competition
So
Me too
That would probably destroy the drivetrain being 50/50 power distribution
The episode I've been waiting for!!!! So proud of Kyle and how far he's come. AND everyone else who's on or been on the BoostedBoiz team and helped kyle get to where he is
Dont think I've ever seen the Hoonicorn leave so hard those tweaks sure paid off that launch is heart breaking fast
Imagine being inside of it when it launches lol
@@jf8188 1400hp my ass.
@@Turshin well when the mr2 is wound down and spinnin, 1400hp gonna kill it !!!
the hoon got trounced by that gtr
@Z dont be so salty dude !@ it lost to the gtr and had a couple of close races !! who cares just bring on some close runs !!!
well i think ken launched it with less spin. lea puttin pedal to the metal @!!
I've never been I to Hondas, but I've watched Kyle since he was in his garage with the hatch. Just a good genuine person. Glad he made it big!
who ever does the editing and movie/tv show references for these videos needs a raise!
Kudos to the BoostedBoiz I think they did awesome considering that the hoonicorn probably has about $1 million worth of R&D put into it
i think its close to 2 million + because they have definitely said that in some of their videos
Don’t get me wrong, I love these vids. Only suggesting you have the Hoonicorn race against cars that actually have a chance lol.
Whole first season was about it. And then second is the same except GT-R.
It's cause they're on a no prep surface, the only people that race no prep are street racers and they don't want their builds and faces all over the internet. There's really not much competition for the hoonicorn on this track unless you want them to keep bringing on GTRs lol
Exactly
The MR2 on a track would have a chance. AWD on a no prep that they have driven on for 2 seasons isn't exactly a fair race from the get go seeing how Kyle literally got 3 test passes and when he asked about a water box to at least do a burnout to heat the tires he was told no.
@@zachatteberry2412 wah....run what you brung.
Very proud of these young gentlemen. I haven't even watched the video yet, but they've come so far and they are absolutely dedicated. Merry Christmas to the whole hoonigan team and the boosted boys family much love from Arizona.
RIP Ken you will be missed a true legend 🕊️
2JP was by far the best race in either season. I want to see a rematch!!
It would be interesting to see 2JP vs all of season 1 and season 2 challengers. Have it validate itself as the undisputed #2 of the list.
I wanna see Rob Dahm dial in his awd 4 rotor more and go for a rematch
On a prepped track please
@@prestonwolff1141 If he can ever complete a car. Dudes all over the place on his channel... lol
as much as I love these videos, knowing that the hoonicorn is always gonna win is a bummer
yeah, it gets old quite fast when they mostly get cars that cant stand a chance on regular roads.
While the first season it didn't seem like they were even trying to get good matches I do sympathize that the kinds of cars/owners that are making the power to run with the hoonicorn AND willing to come to Cali AND willing to race on a sketchy airport runway are probably very slim
@@402Racing not a regular road, dirt/dusty road big difference.
@@Ehren1337 Someone else mentioned how hoonicorn always gets the side with all the rubber. Never noticed that before but you can see @11:57 the difference from lane to lane is huge. Would like to see them swap lanes each run, first run coin flips determines side. But I doubt they'd do that.....
They need to race Red Demon
Lia's mom was hillarious 🤣 this is not okay 🤣 your daughter is an absolute savage and has a natural talent kudos to you and ken for raising a driving allstar ! 🔥
13:07 That is a ridiculously quick accelerating car. Amazing what 2000hp can do. 7 sec car never had a chance on an unprepped surface against an AWD. Also nice when a car has basically no expense spared on it. MR2 is amazing, but that was built with a mere mortals wallet.
This was great fun for all of us who followed Kyle since he was making ebay power in a clapped out hatch. You have come a long way and acted like a true sport today.
Lia is an animal in the Hoonicorn. Reaction time is flawless. See stays in it and drives when it lacks traction. And the best donuts on UA-cam. She has a bright future in this sport.
I love the respect Ken is giving from the background when Kyle is explaining his MR2.
Ken has the good sense to respect a well built car when he sees it. C'mon....a 4 cylinder making over a thousand and not on nitrous. Respect for sure. And Lia... I want to see her taking Drivers Ed in school. Sure to be a few interesting moments there. Especially if she can drive Dadd'ys car. LOL
@@ricknoah9184 that should be her drivers ed promo, her showing up in one of kens old fiestas and slaughtering it with a teacher who isnt in on the joke.
We really need to see the 1/4 mile time on a prepped track with the Hoonicorn. Thumb this up so they see!
👍
noooo it woud snap in half 😣
What a great memory to have on video.
I am SO very glad to of seen this man drive. There is no one like him. He will forever be remembered.
RIP Ken 💙🖤
Bring these two to the drag strip for a fair race! Make it happen!
They will not. They know they will lose all they care about is looking fast for their brand. They don’t even try to hide it anymore
Not thinking they do this to lose. It promotes the game, the Hoonicorn and the Block franchise. And it is great fun to watch even if is is clear who will win. If they wanted a "fair" race they'd rent the track for another day to allow the guest racers to dial in.
The hoonicorn wouldn't make it to the finish line, it'd break
These are starting to become too predictable 😂 Glad to see Kyle has come from a long way though! Back when he was just doing it on the street with his hatch
yeah lets put mostly streetcars up against a custom 4wd tube chassis race car, it's really fair!
Correct, little repetitive at this point
I was thinking the same. I’m salty at this point lol. Bored now
13:07 This is the shot yall need to remember anytime you pair a RWD car against AWD. Unless you're 1000lbs less weight AND more power, it's not remotely fair.
That, and Kyle had to turn the mr2 WAAAYY down from 50+psi of boost to 30psi and still had the traction control pulling timing. Still an insane race from both of them.
So SXSBlog’s 2JP was heads up and lost by half a car in the second. Don’t know why they didn’t give them a 3rd bonus race. They would have been hood to hood on that bonus race. The RZR gave the Hoonicorn the best run yet.
@@brettbaratheon9776 they did do a bonus and hoonicorn ran it down easy again !!
@@rhett7716 there was no 3rd race with the SXSBlog 2JP.
See, he should have asked for a rolling race...you can't beat the Hoonicorn from a standstill with a RWD vehicle. Oh well 🤷♂️
She refuses to lose, the moment its a possibility she starts smokin the tires. absolute badass
Alright just gonna call it. Sandbagging or the Hoonicorn makes more power than y'all proclaim.
At this point, just give us a LEGIT dyno run or two different dynos and I only say that because all dynos don't read the same.
Yea I'm getting anooyed with these videos evey damn time they line something up and give the numbers out it doesn't add up. Using the power to weight ratio calculator in this video the mr2 should have pulled on the top end insanely hard vs the hoonicorn once hooked. They aren't stating the real numbers this car is making realistally like 1700awhp. I don't get why they are doing this .. it's really unfair to claim your making 1400awhp then crank it up to nearly 2k awhp and then the other car comes prepped to race something that's not even close to what they expect. Super unfair hoonigan Dyno this car on the tune it was in this video. It was def not making 1400 like it's got a scramble boost button or something
@@daytonrhine5167 well the mr2 was wound down heaps and still spinnin so it makes sense it got beat by 1400hp !!
@@rhett7716 exactly,....Kyle said that its turned down to around 600hp with traction control on.
They normally run 50+psi of boost and here they were running 30psi
If you think they are going to give you fair races.. yeah nope. Almost everything is a rwd street car vs tube chassis 4wd race car. The fact hat some come close is enough to impress me. The hoonicorn isn't impressive, it's a race car that is good for one thing, racing unprepped straight lines.
Take it on a hill climb vs real race cars and it'll break and or get smoked at the corners due to shit aero.
@@daytonrhine5167 No grip. All these races are is who has more grip and less weight. This is why the Tesla did so well, it has LOTS of grip and torque and better traction control than the hoonigan. If it wasn't 2klbs heavier it would SMOKE it.
5:43 I love Ken's reaction. I bet he's already bought a laser height sensor and is trying to figure out how he can build that into a new project lmao
Kyle seems to be a super nice guy. Humble in all that horsepower
Rip Ken block...one of the greatest to ever touch a steering wheel. Prayers and condolences to the block family and the friends at Hoonigan...thanks for everything Ken.
The drone shot on the second pass was absolutely insane!!!!! The rest of the footage doesn't show just how fast that machine is! 😲😲😲
The hoonicorn is set up to win. A full day of testing against kyles three test passes. MR2 was at 30 psi so I’m guessing about 6-700 hp? There’s no doubting that mustang is stupid fast though. The AWD definitely helps 🙂
Wait, EVERYONE always races Hoonicorn on his home "track", isn't it time Hoonicorn meets them on their home "turf", the drag strip?
he should race against with a ssc tuatara
Since they have the same lane every time add light prep so rwd car get grip first 60ft
Ye so the other cars would actually u know, fucking hook?
@@zoltangt07 right like the hoonicorns fast but i feel like most the cars from this season would destroy it on a strip

@@CoffeyBuilt I honestly thought the mr2 had it.
The detailed talk about the engine was amazing! More of this please :)
Next season it needs to be on a drag strip. Internet quotes hoonicorn at 9.9 1/4 mile which is sandbagged a lot as it runs much faster when they think they have a harder opponent
I think I speak for everyone when I say this. Give us more shots of the drone following the race! Those look soooo good.
How dare you speak for me.
But yes.. you're right
Agreed!
Two things:
1: Put the car on a fucking drag strip if you're going to race actual drag cars.
2: be upfront about the real hp, sxsblog said this car puts out 2000 hp at the push of a button.
yeah they are capping about the horsepower, its got boost by gear or a scramble. Either way its making 1600+ at the top, watching the plaid race it proves its faster than they say or have dynod

They ain't doing that the Hoonicorn might loose.
they won't let them prep the track
Street outlaws is a joke. Get someone that runs KOTS
Lol yeah KOTS or one of the cash days winners would be a good pick. But then hoonicorn looks slow and that's bad for marketing.
@@N4CR idk I think it might have a good run still and they obviously don't care if the hoonicorn loses since they were ok with someone bringing a 6sec gtr.
I dont know what y’all thinking 🤣🤣🤣 but that hoonicorn taking it’s competitors to gapple bees
I’d be interested in seeing the Hoonicorn vs all the car’s it beat on a prepped track. That AWD on that surface just books. RWD car’s don’t have much of a chance from a dig on that runway.
they beat the tesla awd !!
@@rhett7716 that's not the only thing, there's a gap of 400hp between the tesla model s plaid, and the hoonicorn, and also TWO FREAKING THOUSAND POUNDS of difference, that's not fair.

Definitely!
After watching how close that mustang was to a 6 second GTR I would have been suprised if that Mr2 had anything for the Mustang.
Not close by any stretch of imagination. Four cars. Pretty much a bus.
Yes only one 7.98 pass in perfect conditions. It's really a reliable mid to low 8sec car on a prepped track with a burnout box.
yeah, specially when you see how hoonicorns lane is layed with rubber and left lane is full of nonsense
But the gtr didn’t race the mustang in a prep service if it did he would have got smoked, the gtr would have destroyed the mustang

As a person who owned two of these lovely cars once upon a time, this was a dream come true race. I wonder what would happen if he had the 3rd Gen 3SGTE engine in it same hp.
The same thing. He had it turned way down and still did a 1000ft burnout. Kyle said in his video they were probably making 600hp and still no traction.
Chris Patterson and his 3000hp Cummins 4door dually would be a killer race 🙏
Kyle was driving the hell out that MR2 while Leah was drinking tea 🤣
Well he was lightweight rwd on an unknown surface and she was in 1400hp awd sequential on proxes toyos which are advertised as “the stickiest of the icky” so….. Maybe if it was on an actual drag strip the mr2 would actually hook and it would be a good race. But we all know that will never happen lmao

The mr2 itself has already won.
It fought against a car with literally twice the engine (8 cil bi-turbo vs 4 cil single turbo) and twice the traction (awd vs 4x2).
It doesn't work like that. The things you listed, is why the mustang is faster.
@@dlg78 but... not so much faster. Doble engine, doble turbo, doble traction... some seconds of difference. 😂

More than 1600hp.
@@TheOzBR you only need to compare power
..so, a bit more power, and a bit more faster.
@@dlg78 nops. Because the power is only a peak. Isn't a constant. Compare a naturally aspirated 4cil engine of 200hp with a 4 cil turbo engine of 200hp and a electric car of 200hp. All cars with the same weight, type of traction and tires.
Put all in the drag strip.
The flat torque of electric car put all cars behind with a larger advantage.
In second the turbo, with torque coming in the low rpm.
In third the naturally aspirated.
Power is not a comparison unit.
@@TheOzBR no, they won't.
The only torque that matters is torque above the gear shift point.
Go and drag 3 of the same power vehicles, and you'll have near identical trap speeds.
In fact ironically a 200hp n/a vehicle will be revving much higher than a Turbo 200, and hence can then take advantage of shorter gearing and improve acceleration.
You're not a low rpm when drag racing, your car will most likely never be below 4000rpm.
The MR2, aka the CYCLOPS
This would have been a lot closer race if they were on a normal drag racing strip. The only thing that I can think of to consistently beat the hoonicorn is a stripped/lightened Tesla Plaid. The hoonicorn is just perfect for this track.
Already happened and Hoonicorn won
It's pretty much apparent that the only thing that can beat the hoonicorn is another awd car with similar or more HP.....like the GTR, etc
If it’s an actual drag strip, then cars on those slicks would actually hook. But it’s not
