- @RobDahm knows what it takes to beat the Hoonicorn: an FD body Mazda RX-7 with a custom-built 4-rotor engine, a 94mm turbocharger, and all best tried and tested parts from BMWs, Corvettes, and more. Does Jonathan’s “stock” daily driver, with it’s honkin’ 6.2L v8, have what it takes to beat it??

This format where the owners get to explain what their car is and its details is a fresh change
yeah, i love the MTV Cribs but for their car vibe it has going on.
Sup MTV, My name is Rob Dahm and welcome to my whip.
Meh, i prefer the original sht talking
I was getting Pimp My Ride vibes from the whole first part of the video.
I like this way too, but I miss the laughs and the shop talk from before.
yea bro its so cool when the owner is like "no mufflers"
and then it cuts to a shot of the mufflers
So excited to show the world what the car can do back to back! I hope you enjoy the rotary noises as much as I do
Great to see the car going at it
I dare you to race Lia in the Hoonicorn 😅
KB43VER
This was awesome!!
I came 5 times already
Biggest common dahm dub
Rob is the only person that can honestly say: “Here is my 94mm turbo, for road courses.” 😂
“It’s just the small turbo”
Hard not to think about ken while watching these videos. He’s looking down upon you guys with his massive smile. He saw Great things in you guys and it shows by you keeping his legacy going. Rest in peace Ken Block. ❤
Facts rip block the legend 💪
Excited to see you guys back at it after the passing of Ken. I know he would want all of us to keep living, keep racing, keep doing what we love. Rip Ken and thank you to him and you guys for all you do. 🙏
The way Rob acted vs the track hawk guy, is the reason we all love Rob Dahm so much, just a genuine guy just doing racecar stuff no excuses no whiney attitude. Alot of they guys you bring on are cocky for no reason, like Vin said, it's pointless because you're not really winning anything. Win or lose racing is fun
Big facts I noticed the other side was making mad excuses lol
@@thecarkidelan dawg the 4 rotor had 1000 horsepower, of course he gonna try and negotiate or sum
“ItS mY fIrSt TiMe DrIvInG It”-Trackhawk guy
Imagine buying a showroom fast car, doing practically the minimum upgrades of wheels tires springs and air filter delete…and then whining about fair race parameters like starting at the same time and going less than a quarter mile. Don’t you know the the car you’re racing is a hand built, multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours of customizing. You are not here to win buddy you’re here so we can see Rob’s car.
@@nivlacyevips How them nuts taste... My God. Dude wasn't even whining that much. Y'all some d riders
You know a car sounds good when ON CAMERA it's making you smile through the screen.
Proud to have known you so long Dahm. How far you have come.
This series is a dream for all of us that have been following this project for years. So damn cool.
Thanks so much man!! You’ve seen it come from nothing
yo
We better get a car review on this baddy
@@MattMoeMedia yes definitely
Been following Rob Dahm's build for years now. Glad to see it on track in full super-saiyan mode. But most glad to see he's *finally covered that damn prop shaft!!*
That Dahm* prop shaft (kidding)
Pausing early just to say, the amount of engineering and effort put into that car just to have a scrap of wood hold the hood open…. It’s perfect. Don’t ever change .
Thankful to see Brad back, in these trying times anything that takes us back to 2018/2019 Hoonigan is the healing we need
I mainly watched hoonigan for Brad
@@whackaify same
He's how I ended up here 😂
He a damn staple for sure any and every episode he's in is just that much more fun to watch
loved brad, good to see him again.
I already knew the TrackHawk was gonna get out there. Guy seemed nervous as all hell lol
And Rob Dahm... Well we already know that 4 rotor is gonna scream. Thing sounds so damn good!
Watched @RobDahm since before I could drive, and I always admired how he would mention a passion or a dream and always saw it through. I watched the AWD 4 rotor build from day one until today and it's truly amazing.
So excited to be on This vs that! Thanks everyone….
People wanna see the T-Bucket rip!
@@TheHoonigans MAYBE!!!!!! It’s old and SLOW!!!🤣
who cares about the 4rotor, we got BaddaddyBrad ! 😄
About time you're back. Where's that T-bucket? Get up there and do some racing.
Can we get one episode of a shit-talking session between Brad and Gary? On LOUD?
Rob finally is getting his car dialed in. Sounds and looks so good
It's honestly impressive how consistent the car is now. Rob is a beast.
The car is already a monster and he is still aiming to lose a lot of weight and add a bunch of power to it. The car is still mostly steel panels with a custom mock-up widebody and tons of bondo as a way to design and prototype the final body. With the carbon body, new frame and larger turbo it will be insane.
Southern hemisphere do it best robs rotary build isn’t that impressive when compared to a lot of New Zealand builds that don’t get any attention. Not putting anything past this build it’s amazing
@@iamgriff lol what an ignorant comment. The greatest at what exactly? Military is like the only thing we beat other countries at.
@@iamgriff You confused half the planet for South America? 😂😂
I've watched this like 6 times now. I can't wait for the next episode. Daddy Dahm adds a whole 'nother level to this show. Can't wait to see who the next "vs the world" contenders are later this year. Oh and pumped to see Bad Dad Brad back in action.
First off thank you hoonigans for keeping everything going we missed you guys. Love the 4 rotor remember seeing Dahms videos and the crunch to get it to SEMA can't wait to see you Dahminate! Brad Daddy is Baaaaaaaacccckkkkk!!!!!!!
Man I feel so much pride for Rob and the 4 rotor. Watching him hand build and tune his car has been an amazing adventure, and it can't wait to see what's next. Much love Rob, Joel, and Isaiah.👊✌️
❤
We've been watching that car grow like it's our nephew 😂
I already know Rob will have the same enthusiasm EVERY time he has to reintroduce his car each episode. So happy to see you back here Rob!
This series and the way you guys layed it out is MONEY! Keep these coming! Perfection!
Man Rob has done some cool stuff. He is a innovator and a inspiration. Been filling him for a long time
Good to see the Dahmobile finally making reliable rips
"reliable" Just minus the AWD it's supposed to have.
@@DJ_NOOB didn’t need it to make a winning pass. My initial comment stands lol
Literally broke 2nd rip lmao
@@lexus_offroad_adventures Winning and reliable are two different things. He might have made it to end of the run but he's still broken.
He was also running against a grocery getter that weighed 2k lbs more, had less HP, and has no top end. Hardly competition for what Rob's car is supposed to be.
Damn ya'll a bunch of cheese whistles trying to call out the Dahm 4 rotor.
News-flash, one of the things that broke are *one of the few things that he doesn't make. It's a fucking carbon fiber drive shaft made out of house you rope brains*
I couldn't help but notice that Rob's 4 Rotor came already prepped without rear glass 🤣🤣 But forreal, cant believe that Rob's years and years of tinkering and researching, wrenching and breaking and making better, have earned him a featured series on Hoonigan and, more honorably, to be considered amongst colleagues to be in the same wheelhouse and level of mutual respect as Ken. So proud to watch this, for Rob, for Hoonigan, for Ken! #43forever
HAHA Rear glass delete!
Rob's a genuinely great dude with an incredible passion and itch to learn. He's earned this, just as much as Ken did.
I believe the rear plexiglass flew off while filming banging gears a few weeks prior. Probably couldn't get a replacement in time
He didn’t research anything. He impersonated people and stole engineering.
He remembers the last time he drag raced it and thought it a good idea not to have it fitted🤣
Not only am I here for the mad races you put together, but also the insane beats when the cars are coming back!
Super happy to see yall getting back to creating fun content. It's what The Legend would want. Keep on Keepin on.
I'm only an occasional watcher, so seeing Bad Daddy Braddy make an appearance in my life again was the boost I needed. Thanks Dad!
This is awesome.
Very nice
nice
Nice
Nice
👍
Thanks you for bringing back this format, always looking forwards for new episodes, especially with Dahm's amazing build !!
Look at 8:29-8:31, the look on the trackhawk drivers face, was priceless. It's a combination of "holy $#!+"- this is fun, and I'm glad to be here
After all these years of seeing Rob's car slowly coming together, it's awesome seeing this thing actually racing and it sounds great! That Trackhawk is no joke and it sounds fantastic, too!
Easily the best editing team in the car scene on CZcams. Always funny.
Would be even better if they upload their vids in 4k..
Donut is better
And hagerty group
Petrolicious. Lol. Thats a bold statement dude. Theres many others.
Now he needs to race Lia in the Corn!
I raise you with Hagerty with Jason Cammisa.
I agree with OP
DAHM is the man. Without a doubt my favorite guest on this show.
Always enjoy watching you guys thanks for the videos
What a great way to honor Ken block, Rob dahm was inspired by Ken it's nice seeing him carry on a tradition! Both incredible people who inspire passion in autosports
So cool to have the show back, with some new twists, and welcome back Bad Daddy Brad!! Never forgot the ratrod burnout
🤨📸
With his pickup crew i guess
Amen I’m glad I’m not the only one
these new style of this vs that is sickkk looking forward to the new videos cant waitttt
This is what I’ve been waiting for all my life. This is definitely going to be a great one. I haven’t watched it yet. I’m just excited. Watched it fn NICE!! I’ve been wanting to see robs car in action, finally!!!
Been supporting for years and I'm so proud and amazed of how far Rob and this car has come!
I’m so excited they left the piece on the badge in the walk around 🎉 that one is yours
@@RobDahm I still don’t believe it
Rob's car is such a beast, it's come a long way even from its first appearance on the show. I'm not a huge rotary fan but the passion Rob has for them is infectious.
So much respect to Rob & his 4 rotor, this build is spot on perfection. Anyone can put their foot down and read a brochure but you gotta have some serious courage to get behind the wheel of that fd and actually drive it lol
Most people don’t understand what it takes to essentially reengineer an entire car. Especially in ways nobody has done.
Hell just building a motor and tune takes dedication and decent knowledge.
Much respect to Dahm.
I absolutely love these videos, guys! I like the way you now let the drivers talk about their own vehicles, but I do miss the banter when you were all looking around the cars! That was always great fun and very comical!...but, hey, keep em coming, guys!!!👌👍🏁..awesome work!😁..and, damn, that RX7 shifts, snd sounds fantastic baby!!!!!😅.Rob that's a hell of a machine you got there!!👌...where is Zac??????😮
seeing brad pop into frame put an unexplainable smile on my face
i missed that dude
I know right! Literally exclaimed "oh shit!" When the OG walked on screen
bro same!!!! Ive missed his antics
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THE ONLY ONE I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM BACK
this.
First words of the episode, from the man himself, Rob Dahm: “I taste Carbon”
Gonna be a good series. My vote is on the 4-rotor
The man has a surprisingly sophisticated palate
@@TheHoonigans lmao
LOVE the new format!!
Nice job Rob! Happy to see no major issues this time.
Time for Dahm to shut up more haters and doubters that said "that car will only be a show car and a dyno queen"! 🤣🤣 Ahura is an absolute MONSTER! 😈
Haters? Where?
@@sepg5084 as dahm's dream build has come into fruition, they've been fading out
@@sepg5084 there are a few here in this comment section
@@palmtree476 they started to go real quiet right around when he started to rebuild the engine himself
@@solatyn lol, I have been watching dahm for a while, it is so cool what dahm has done by him self over the years.
So happy to have this back on!! And brads back!!!!!!!
Love the format changes 👍🏼👍🏼
I really like this new format. Changing up locations,potentially going to other countries, letting them talk about their vehicles straight to the camera. This is really cool. Seeing Bad Daddy back was super unexpected and I'm so happy for that. Can't wait to see how this moves forward.
they are going to germany and do it there with JP Performance.
We got a preview in one of the last videos.
I’m so confused. Was that not the format they had before?? At the beginning of the video we were introduced to the car and the owner, they told us about the car, the specs, and whatever details they felt inclined to share. I don’t see much of a format difference personally.
@Nico I was saying instead of everyone crowding around and joking while talking about the vehicle, it's just them talking about it to the camera instead of to everybody standing around. I like that
Love the new format!!
Would love to see a rematch Hoonicorn/Lia vs Dahm RX7.. He has got that thing Dialed in. I know how much hard work he has put into it.
That last run on just RWD actually seemed way faster than when Rob’s car is actually working
lmao
He said he turned up the power right just no awd
The wing probably helped plus drag radials
thats how it works, it wasnt awd
That 4 rotor is an engineering beauty.. Rob should be proud of that.
So excited y'all are back in action!
Great work on the new design for the show too guys not sure if many have mentioned it yet! 👌
Bad Dad Brad coming in clutch! We missed you homie and thanks Rob for doing Ken’s legacy some justice!❤🙏🏻 #gymkhanaheaven #driftingwiththeangels
I also love that he flashed his beams to say ready. Someone is used to racing in Mexico😉
I’ve been waiting for this. This series is gonna be fun. Thank you Hoonigan
We aim to please.
Glad to see you guys keep on keepin on.
Nice work rob and guys Rob has put this heart and sole into this car for yrs I have been watching and so col of a car and so fast too
"850HP CLAIMED"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
From now on if you don’t show us a Dyno sheet, you get “claimed.” Because a lot of people are either exaggerating or sandbagging. That said, this thing seemed like a true 850hp
@@TheHoonigans agreed. The "CLAIMED" part caught me so off guard, it was hilarious.
It was also, to me at least, a call back to a particular guy who "CLAIMS" certain things about his rides, only to blow everyone away.
"Stock", my exhaust port.😏
@@TheHoonigans ondgas not gonna like that
@@TupacMinion thanks for reminding me of their name. It was eluding me for a while. 🤣🤣🤣
“This is my first time”
*Proceeds to cook Rob at the starting line on Race 2*
Jeesus vin. You got me at the end with the but tornado 😂 also good too see bad daddy brad back
Finally welcome back guys looking positive vibes!!
Hipster vs rotary king!!
Awesome how all the work Rob put into the traction control, boost by gear etc. made it super effective even in just RWD.
The wildest part is I end up turning off traction control in a later race the same day and it goes even faster 😮 it was keeping me safe but slowing me down a bit
@@RobDahmI respect your passion mate.
Now stop breaking shit & send it!🥳💪🏽❤️
@@RobDahm That's insane mad props to the build, Been a long way for sure you vs the hoonicorn is hands down the best video on the channel 110%.
@@RobDahm gotta say bud, been following the FD since inception of the channel, and it’s just nice to see you getting to actually drive the dream. Congrats!
@@RobDahmyou suck at driving tbh. Give the keys to a real wheelman and watch your shit move.
Everytime I see the interior of Rob's car I have a bit of a panic attack at all the moving parts just waiting to explode with 1,000+hp and AWD and nothing but his firesuit to protect him.
Yessss Brad’s back! Pleeeease bring back Hoonigan Science with Brad 😂😂😂😂
What a way to start. Seeing how Rob tried to make the rx7 like the hoonicorn from his ThisvsThat ep, just makes ya proud. I think Ken would be like, "This bastard really did it" if he saw the rx7 now.
I've been counting down the days and hours waiting for this series to drop🔥🔥
I was legit on your profile minutes ago. Did you ever finish the 12to1 exhaust?
@@colingriguhn5862 yeah I did, I'm also pulling a Rob Dahm on my V12 Miata, building it into a certified ripper
same brother same 🌡❤🔥❤🔥🔥
I gotta respect all that work Rob has put into that RX7 and he still uses a 2x4 to prop up the hood lol.
the title better imply what it seems that being there's going to be much more content with Dahm and I'm stoked for it
happy to see more of this series
These videos are way to short for how good this 4-rotor sounds!! I need more. :D
Good thing we've got more coming!
@@TheHoonigans But I can't wait! What am I going to do until then? 😂 Looking forward to this dorito series ⚠️
Rob breaking axles because he put bigger tires on is so on brand lmao. And she still absolutely rips ❤
Haha, yup.
It wasn't an axle, it was the front driveshaft that slipped out of place
This new series is gonna be phenomenal!! 🎉🎉🎉
I like the old style better, where you ask owners to show you what they got and then you all comment and make jokes, it just felt more natural and relatable. I hope you dont follow the commercial ways just because everyone else does it ❤
Mad props to the entire Hoonigan team! The videos just get better and better and BETTER! Rob Dahm is finally honing in on his FD! The Trackhawk is a street BEAST!
This boutta be my favorite series
Now this is some binge worthy content. Would love to see everything tbh. I feel like personal car content goes further than doing other peoples cars, while I do see the benefit of both. Seeing you compete this car to a street monster would be great
Absolutely awesome! So glad daddy Dahm got everything working right. Wellllll kinda. Figures something had to break or it wouldn’t be a rob dahm video
"He doesn't speak for the team when he says that's fine" had me laughing!
This is some dream level content. Getting the Rob Dahm's 4 Rotor just taking rips back to back! It's wild how far this car has come over the last few years and it's not even done yet.
good to see brad is back in videos!
i'm so glad to see Brad! i was worried about him even reached out on instagram! good to see ya buddy!!!!
not only this is "THIS vs DAHM" but Bad Daddy Brad is back. good shit
Great to see bad daddy Brad back on the channel. Always a fun time when he's around.
Editing is really good on this video👍
So excited fark yes bringing back bad daddy brad you legends 😎🤘❤️ supporting from Rotorua New Zealand YTFB
Not sure if it's just a one off for this episode, but I enjoyed it much more when the car owners showed off to and answered questions from the fellas instead of them just talking about it themselves. Either way, please never end this series because it is just pure awesomeness! #KB43VER!
Agreed. This new format of car intro was very boring.
it just kinda got repetitive and then people talking over each other. maybe the old style but only with 1 or 2 people talking to the driver might be better otherwise i like this one over the old chaotic driver interview.
They always answer questions from the crew along with their own intros…
I always just skip to the race portion to skip the talking
I agree, the hosts being there made it much more entertaining IMO, much more natural and unscripted as well.
Happy for dahm, I know this is something he worked a lot for
I'm glad to see y'all made some changes with the show. It was unwatchable before but you seemed to have listened to critiques. I dig it.
Love that rotary two-stroke sound.
I have a feeling we should get used to seeing that "WINNER DAHM" at the end of this entire series.
Awesome idea for the series guys, so glad to see you all out here giving your editors plenty of material 🤣
Today was a RAD show! Great seeing Brad back!! Felt like old times!
Love the drum & bass in the video
Ayy. Seeing Brad back makes me so happy!
I’m a simple man… I see Rob Dahm’s 4-rotor… I click
That sound is orgasmic!
This is awesome. Dahm vs the world. Been watching Rob since the 3 rotor FD days and it truly is awesome to see how far he has come. Congratulations Rob Dahm.
FINALLY!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS.
I am digging the editing style. It has a pimp my ride vibe to it without the cringe
Nobody can replace Ken, but this is a close as we can do and it’s still good. Love Rob and stoked to see him succeed🤙🏼
His daughter will definitely be a close second.
Glad to have you guys back can’t wait for this season. Missing Ken but doing it all for him.
But one thing, something missing, the question asking and shit talking was one of the best bits!
Happy to see bad daddy brad back even it’s just for an episode.
Awesome to see Rob’s creation in action!!!
