Ken Block vs Rob Dahm!? 1,240hp 4 Rotor AWD RX-7 is our Wildest Battle Yet // Hoonicorn vs The World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 тра 2024
- A race 6 years in the making! When Rob Dahm first saw the Hoonicorn launched in 2014, he knew one thing for sure: he needed that same kind of insane project in his life. Measuring pixel by Instagram pixel, and a few phone calls posing as a Hoonigan employee (thanks, Rob), he went down a path of no return to build the wildest FD RX-7 ever. Four rotors, AWD, a giant turbo, sequential transmission, and a whole lot of learning leads up to this very race: up against the car that inspired him to begin with.

The hood fly up thing is the most Rob Dahm thing that could have happened.
He has come full circle
And ripping off completely at his shitty weld! 🤣 aaannnd crunching his roof! 😂 aaannnd BLOWING OUT his rear window!!! 🤣 😫 😂 😫
@@BJK1715 he could run her till she’s a bare chassis and I wouldn’t mind lmao
When I saw his video the other day putting in the hood pins I knew it wouldn’t hold. Those style latches look nice, but aren’t very secure. And with only 2 of them once the hood flexes they’ll release.
Should have 4 across the front and probably 2 more on each side. And either the old school style with the clips or the flush mount ones with the lever that locks them. Those button pop up style latches just don’t hold when under high load and things flexing.
Facts!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Utterly insane way to shakedown my dream car. Cant thank you guys enough for giving me the chance.
you deserve a rematch when it gets dialed
Rob run it back once you have some seat time we can't wait to see what you do with the car next - keep up the amazing work!!!
Dial it in and re-run it! Things a beast. I'm so happy I got to finally see it in action
To come that close on your first shakedown run of a car you built yourself garage style in 5 years is wild!! Congrats!!!
Great job man. That was amazing to watch.
I can’t imagine how Ken’s passing is affecting Rob knowing that this whole build is based on the mastery of the Hoonicorn which wouldn’t be a thing without the legend Ken Block. Rest in peace to the GOAT.
Yeah. I'm certain they were going to do a rematch once Rob was done with his build. As im sure everyone would have loved to watch that. Maybe Ken's daughter can race Rob for one last race.
@@Alex-vz2jz That would be awesome, I need too stock up on Cleanx if that were to happen
I can't believe the news had not reached me about Ken dying until reading this comment. Utterly devastated.
The world without Ken Block is a much sadder place!

R.I.P Ken!
I am so sad and at the same moment happy that I know you for all these years since your first Gymkhana!
We will miss you!
Thanks for your condolences supreme leader

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
Well said m'brudda. 💯 feeling that R.I.P to two great legends/inspirations, Ken & Paul. Two absolute G.O.A.T.S 🐐🐐🔥🔥🚘🚘
Coming back to this, I love just how sad Ken sounded when Rob didn't get a good launch on that last run. The respect is so high that he just wanted for it to be a good and true clean run, 100% from both cars.
Please, PLEASE bring this back. Rob's machine is bigger and better than ever, and Ken's team can only have improved from here. Gotta know what it's like now!
Rx7 vs Hoonipigasus would be fun🤷🏼♂️
Unfortunately we ended up in the worst timeline
@@AwkwardHypernerd413 man why you gotta remind me, oof 😭
Christopher Curtis, Wasn't that just so awesome!? What a true warrior and competitor Ken was and hopefully lives on in heaven to be. He definitely wanted to not only take the win but compete 100% fair. True grace, and I aspire to be the same.

It is called Hoonigan VS the World?
Hopefully also inspired you to not do your bodywork with a hot glue gun.
the most anticipated race!
@Teitz Mcteedies exactly... in my opinion, while its a cool idea and build and has a lot of potential, I think Rob is in over his head.. Which is why he has struggled for like 5 years now trying to put this car together. Meanwhile Mazzei and Logan have some of coolest and most functional 4-Rotors out there thatr have been running for years. If Mazzei went AWD, OMG that would be insane.. Massei's 4-Rotor is probably one of the most beautiful cars on the Planet.
I would love to see a rematch. Rob has come such a long way with the 4 rotor since then.
I hope Ken Block's daughter got a solid feel of the Hoonicorn though, because rematching would mean racing against her
;(
Very sad that we wont see one unless its his daughter again
@@Farie977this comment hits way harder this morning, and hurts way more 😢

Rest in peace to a legend. Will always come back to this video, being my favorite. The world will never have another like you Ken. Fly high brother❤️

Rob just needs more time to sort that thing out. That rotary sounds absolutely wicked.
it sounds insane
Eh...it weighs more,less hp, less displacement, more lag..
I really hate the new comments section because I see comments like this and it spoils the Outcome and there’s no way to it see it
@@OutsideDuhBox it doesn't have less hp though. They stopped at that hp, and that was rwd only. He's only at 20% waste gate.

From this to SEMA 2022 is just WILD! Congratulations Rob and your whole team.
The Mazda guy deserves all the respect in the world. What a legend.
That RX-7 engine sounds almost like an old school F1 car but pissed.
Rob got that "Dude I almost had you" smile.🤣

But he actually did lol robs car bogged many times. For a car that has never been tested it gave him a very good go. Give him a another year of adjustment and I reckon he can win the rematch

if he hever gets it hes been building that car for years and we still dont know how fast it is it seems like we will never know i dont se the purpose of a retarded car like that if u dont ever drive it

Ken block turned up the power on that last run .he was afraid to lose to rob
@@daanyaalvally3187 rob also turned up his power. Hoonicorn is a beast and it is strong unlikke the rx7 atm
I don't think "man in a garage" applies anymore when you have a shop build the cage, and bring in people to help a lot. I'm not hating on Rob, he built an amazing car, but there are also people that build crazy cars and do every bit of the work.
@@Finnspin_unicycles because he doesn't really get permanently sponsored, that's why he is a guy in a garage
Mad respect for you, Rob! I can tell that you put your heart and soul into building that car. I love that you reverse engineered part sizing by counting pixels in a CAD image. As a machinist, I've actually had to do that before for a customer who didn't have a clue how to produce a mechanical drawing of his part. The drawing was missing so many critical dimensions that I had to resort to finding them based on the known dimensions, and pictures of the prototype assembly.
Such a great bunch! I really enjoyed the comradery and kindness shown to and by everyone!
We need a rematch when Rob actually finishes the car and when he's got more seat time. It's a must.
See you in 13 years then...
MrArcticPOWER salty boyz
But at what cost?
Yeah, considering that this is the 1st time he ran without something breaking and disabling the car he did great
@@nestorjblancobonilla3890 How am I salty? I'd say 13 years is pretty optimistic honestly and I can't wait to see it ''finished''.

@@Rey-gq8og yes👘
@@bravuh18k18 what?
I met Rob at SEMA 2019, saw the car (in progress at the time) and talked with him briefly. He was very cool and just like a normal car guy you’d meet anywhere. I’m glad to see the car (almost) finished.
Wow this was fun to watch. The RX7 guy has the entire life figured out. No matter what happens in life stay happy and positive.🥰
Rob’s car has active weight reduction, that’s pretty sick.
The chuckle i let out, hilarious
😅
Two-stage active even, both in-flight and grounded.
And dynamic aero!
😂😂💀
Who's done the calculation of weight reduction vs drag? Congrats Dahm!
It weighs less now by about 2 thirds of a hood and there will be a little more drag now 😂
FUCKIN DEBOSS?!! You are a LEGEND in BOOK!!-) ROLL coal against Ken???
do it!!!
Rich we are going to have to see you bring the Debacho to hoonigan once the borders open
My automotive UA-cam channels are all converging in this comment section.
Cummins swapped drag truck vs Hoonicorn when?
The way Rob and Isaiah are down to just tweak PIDs and hack panels off the 4 rotor is hardcore as hell. That whole body is a one-off and I'm pretty sure they made the panels themselves.
I rewatch this from time to time, and every time I got tears in my eyes, I'm not a Ken expert, or a car enthusiast, I just liked the man, and the whole atmosphere he brought along with him, reast in peace sir!, and Rob Dahm, what an inspiration he is, from him I ve learned that it's ok never to let go of your dream and it s ok to be obsessed about what you love
I didn't realize Rob had installed a Dynamic Weight Reduction System
DYRS
"Damn I'm losing?" *throws the hood* "Oh fuck yeah"
😂😂😂
yeah! ... yeah thats totally what it is guys a DWRS system. pfft how could you not know that.
Ultra high tech - sheds weight DURING the run to close the gap.
The lack of ego and the camaraderie is so f****** refreshing you guys made all of this dude's hard work payoff and inspired the people that will come behind you guys great job !
Honestly, and the way rob carries himself this whole video is refreshing
@@Tracked_z I totally agree.
I felt that Ken was being a bit sassy tho.
Indeed!!! All those guys are like "dudes you wanna have a beer with" No insecure jealousy, or ego, just friendly cats enjoying each others company for the sake of fun. Always worth a click.
@@alZiiHardstylez agreed
Just a couple of guys playing with their hot wheels cars and having the time of their lives! Love it!
This is the first one I've wanted Ken to lose. Amazing car.
Lost his hood, smashed his rear window, and lost a quarter of a fender and still had a huge smile on his face. Respect to this guy✊🏼❤️
Smashed his roof up too
It's getting carbon fibre bodywork next anyways ;) Plus Rob is genuinely one of the coolest people on the planet! He lives for Ahura and practically any amount of damage is worth a chance to run with the Hoonicorn, let alone Ken Block!
That’s rob for you brother! What a guy daddy dahm lol
He was in shock. The look on his face when they told him they were doing run 4.
a garage built version of the hoonicorn just stood its ground against a THE hoonicorn, a no budget professionally built from a whole team of engineers perfect car. wow, props to Rob

Cherish every moment to be able to have raced with a absolute legend.
Great vid, both cars are epic, I've enjoyed the Hoonicorn journey and the series on Prime. Rob's RX-7 is a crown and he should wear it proudly
You could literally hear that FD furiously screaming in Japanese as it loses runs and throws car parts in a fit of rage.
As a car that has less hp and more weight, I'd say the fd pretty fast

Coolest thing ever to be able to do what I just watched you do. Congrats on a well spent day in your life that you will never forget, or probably beat.
Beautiful, and I'm super stoked to see Rob Dahm out here doing amazing things! That said, I'm *still* waiting for the "Hoonicorn vs Farm Truck" race... 😎
Keys that could make rob win:
Auto cut-off on shifts
Get used to launches
Bodywork that won't fall off
I’m pretty sure he has auto cutoff but with his trans it’s safer to still use clutch regardless
He has flat foot on his shifts via a load sensor on the shifter
He has it , the knob on his shifter is sensor that detects how hard its beeing pushed probably he needs to adjust his values or something
Pretty sure the bodywork is still in prototype phase.
@robdahm at 18:38 the chargepipe clamps seem to be rotating and perhaps leaking? Wanna check that out
When your car is doing the weight reduction itself
Ye
Lmao
true
😂😂
nature sure is sum else
Its insane to see how far Rob and the 4 Rotor are now.
I hope when everything is dialed down (for both drivers), he has a chance to go against Lia.
just made it back to this video again. Still cracy that Ken Block is gone. He was so young and still had so much to offer. But it's cool that he built a team that's still carrying on in his memory, doing awesome things

I'm really digging the active aero Rob has going on. Really innovative stuff for a garage build.
These guys are off the chain man! Insane. Came from the Vegas Hoonigan Video!!!!
Can you imagine if hoonicorn or some company just sponsored Rob and gave him money and resources, his 4 rotor would be insane. It's already off the charts
I mean, he actually got a lot of "sponsorships", garret gave a prototype turbo if I recall correctly, probably valvoline too and for sure some other I don't remember, true, it's not a true "sponsor" but still
@Dick weed fun fact the 787b was 2 sec a lap slower then the C9 mercedes at le mans. it was lucky to win
@@michaelgomez4994making a pure lap-speed comparison at le mans is ultimately meaningless. endurance racing isn't about lap-per-lap speed, it's about reliability. An F1 car would certainly be faster than a GT3 car around Le Mans...but it would break before ever finishing and lose to the GT3s by a country mile, not to mention have to pit for fuel every 2-3 laps.
The only problem the 787B ran into in 1991 was a dead headlight and an overheating (but not failed) rear wheel bearing, meanwhile, the C11s (*not* C9s, the 787B never raced the C9, just the 787A) had multiple issues, including a spin, gearbox problem, other undisclosed mechanical problems, and also had to moderate its pace by conserving fuel -- a slowing factor that the 787B did not have, since it was efficient enough that fuel consumption didn't really matter.
@@TheRCTAddict the mercedes broke that year. & the 787b was given a handicap . was allowed to run 150kg lighter then anyone else

Rob Dahm's RX7 literally sounded like a 90s v12 f1 car. sounded so majestic
One of the best cars I've heard in a long time. So good.
If I'm not mistaking a racing game company used the sound of his for one of the f1 car's in the game.
Damn, you're not wrong.
That's actually what it supposed to sound like it has 4 Rotors each rotor fires 3 times so 4x3=12 a v12 has 12 cylinders fires once every rotation so 12x1=12 times so should sound identical.
It sounds like a v8 f1
Rest is paradise, Ken. You’ll be greatly missed in the car community. He will be doing gymkhana in heaven.
True words!
This was a good episode Rob D. RIP Ken Block 🙏 Revisiting these videos brings joy to when you were living life and doing so much for yourself and everyone around you! Say hi to Paul Walker in heaven old friend! #43 🕊
Finally, I was waiting all day
Same I’ve been refreshing UA-cam all day
Same lol
its noon
all day? Ive been waiting 6 years hahah
@@ishannage248 same lol 😂
20:07 rob dahm is utterly genuine and had me dying “ i felt like a miniature ken block i gunned it in the dirt and was like....yea...” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Made me laugh my ass off lol
Love Rob's car, been watching the build on his channel. Love the colabo, great race.
It never gets old
Love how Isaiah just had the cutoff grinder in his pocket during the race
One of the best parts of the entire video lol
15:33 yeah, he knew it might come in handy.
Exactly the kind of dude you need on your side - ready to cut anything, at any time.
@@TheHoonigans 😂😂😂
Ready to cut fenders, trees when mudding, foos talking slick
I love how Rob wasnt even fazed by the fact that his hood flew off. It´s like he´s expecting it at this point.
The look on his face was basically "I was expecting worse"
Glass and hood welds are the LEAST of his worries at this point 😂😂 He definitely seemed like he expected that to happen lol
He even said in his video that he didn't like the hood latch system
Maybe he was ... this happened a long time ago, when Parker from vehicle virgins dove it 🤔
one of the greatest this vs that episodes!
Rip ken , cant repeat this now
Poor guy. All this time and money, breaks hood, breaks rear window, breaks fender, loses the race but is still just pumped to be there. My hats off to you good sir.
If you have enough money you can laugh with it.
If all your money is in that car you would cry for sure
@@HappyDude1 If Rob wouldnt rush and botch about anything he touches on the car he wouldnt have to repair all the time.
@@benistingray6097 got learn somehow
@hozzyboy there's nothing poor about the car for a first run on this car this is impressive, unfortunately when it comes this particular lifestyle shit happens to our cars. My hats off to his loss in a unique car being able to race a hoonicorn
@@akuma_mx5 "when it comes this particular lifestyle shit happens to our cars"
By that you mean not plan ahead and not inform yourself how something works or is build beforehand and just botch something together and then it breaks and you have to fix it 3 times more until its finaly working and then you discover the next problem.
You know the saying measure twice, cut once, yeah, rob does the opposite and thats why he has a botched car.
The most expensive piece of crap on the internet.
Rob's car literally tearing apart out of rage and madness.
Is that what you call poor workmanship?
@@tylerzesiger7648 I'd like to see you do better
@@tylerzesiger7648 more like fast workmanship. The car wasn't ready but he wasn't going to miss the chance.
@@Ashchu117 got a small block turbo mustang, steel body, glass, interior, electric windows, stock suspension, 2980lbs running 165mph in the 1/8 mile on only 23lbs of boost and not a single part come off. What you got?
I’m glad I went back to watch this one. I love the FD body style and Dahm’s AWD four rotor, but I love the Hoonicorn more. Now that things have chilled out on the diecast Hoonicorn cars, does anyone have advice on where to find high quality models?
I feel so bad for rob. He’s put sooo much blood, sweat, and tears into this and shit like this always seems to happen. I also kind of feel like the guys and everyone in general pokes fun at him for having these issues. Without noting the fact that this is one man, his own genius/determination and no real team. I can’t imagine the money and man power that went into hoonicorn, and no one on the team nor could ken even come close to making something like the 4 rotor even possible. All things considered Rob did an amazing job with this car.
No, he could've come close or better, even get past Ken. Rob isn't used to his beast yet. He isn't comfortable with it. Look at those launches and yet he still comes few meters below Ken. Just imagine if he was use to that beast of a car.
I agree , working on a rotor engine is way harder and complicated than a piston one. Plus he is alone
i felt like they were being kind of douches to him the whole time. just like some bro backhanded compliments, like " the first person to lose by 3 cars and have a smile on his face. you deserve it, im happy for you." if i put all that effort into building a car MYSELF, idk, it just didnt seem like chill vibes. especially cause the dude seemed so chill and just kind of humble, and clearly idolized and took inspiration from the hoonicorn. they just acted kind of cringy to me.. i dont know anything about them though, so this is just my opinion and first impression lmao
Yeah I did feel like Ken was like "look at this piece of shit" at the beginning of the video. Ken can drive but he sure is a douche.
@@gdirty7380 I agree. They didn’t give off those vibes in any other races I’ve seen. Made them seem intimidated
I've been waiting for this moment since I was 13 years old
Lmao
I’ve been waiting since they announced cyberpunk 2077
Are you graduating college?
I didn’t know I needed to see this when I was 13!!!
@@schit4brainz Nah that was my hs grad photo I'm in college lol
Very good video. Very nice display of racing and some very unique cars
First 9 minutes of this are hilarious and insane.
Ok gonna watch the rest now
Considering this is an untested (at speed) car lined up with the Hoonicorn, I’d say this was pretty damn close. Hats off to you Rob!! 🤘
