- Lil Jerry’s LS swapped RX-7 has all sorts of surprises for us. Big Mike’s limited run C7 ZR-1 ‘Vette has 15 intercoolers to keep the V8 LT5 running smooth and lots of carbon fiber to keep things light. Gary’s right, this one’s a slobberknocker!

Should've done LS swap RX7 and Rob Dahm's Rotary swapped corvette.
This would have been elite. The battle of the bizzaros
i second this
Like this m*********** so they see that needs to happen!!!!
I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title
This would be a great race!! Would love to see this happen!!
RX7: "500 to the tire."
Yes, at one point the dyno said "500" when that RX7 was on it, then it kept going LOLOL
500 to the tyre in 2nd on a hot day haha
500 to the tire at 2000 rpm, 800 at 5k rpm.
Lol kept going at 4700ft elevation 90degrees Fahrenheit
Can't make 600whp without also making 500whp 😂
yeah for reals, those LS motors are so good.
"He need that refund from whatever school he just went to." Literally LOL on that one!😂😂😂
I think id take that rx7 all day.
Also i love jerry talking about the roll "i thought we were doing 30 he was doing like 40 50" then they let him do the roll "i aint got no speedo" lolol. He has definitely done this before....lol
If you don’t have a Speedo you get good at eyeballing speeds real quick. Especially if you’re driving in the street at all.
The RX7 Is one of the greatest Japanese cars ever designed period.
@@chipotlaway8522 nah for real you do because I used to daily a 88 MR2 and the speedo didn't work I started guessing the speed when I drove next to other cars seeing their speed. You get good at it.
Yo, Jerry needs to be part of the crew, The Gary n Jerry show would be very entertaining
Fuck nah jit trippin
bruh he aint got no time for that
Gary n jerry show would be sick!!!!
Nope he said "M-K-4" he's fake and lying
Frfr
Lil’ Jerry feels like the first legit street racer you guys have had on here. Dude was hilarious and obviously not being entirely forthcoming about the car. Loved every second of it.
"500 wheel"
Race gas tune too
He said LS7 internals. Then named off the internals and none of it was LS7 stuff, so I assume he just meant its a 427. Didn't sound like a very big cam. low to mid 500s is probably right. Would probably be over 600 with a big cam.
500 whp is around 580 hp, 800 pounds lighter, plus the drivers weight.
"M" "k" " 4"
Nah dude he's a poser with daddy's money handed down
500 HP LS3 is like saying a 500 HP 2JZ, you know they lying 🤣🤣
Please bring Jerry back for every one of his cars. That man is funny AF. Gary'n'Jerry
you need to have Jerry back and put him up against Rob Dahm's rotary swapped 'Vette!
^ This 100% ^ give this man more upvotes
That vette will get smoked to gapplebees
Rob's got 1 less Dorito......13b I think is in Rob's car
@@joshuagibson2520 .....so what if he is.......you have a small brain and nobody seems to care
Then rob brings out the 2.6 rotary rx7 😂
Lil Jerry is THAT GUY!
Hey it's my man
Ayyyyooooo cb in the building
if only you can ship your E30 to California for this versus that
That’ll be sick
@HeroinSniffer4Life yea just another annoying internet personality.
you need to come do your thing here bro in this vs that
On a serious note, watching Hoonigan videos really make my freaking day no matter how bad it can be you guys make it better every single time! Thank you 🙏
thank fuck, they finally told the racers "when my hands drop you go" i was so sick of people jumping the start. if you jump the start, youve lost the race in my eyes. im happy to see some clean racing again after the throtl episode
+1, There were some good matchups with fucked starts that made the whole thing lame to watch.
I like Jerry, funny dude. Also, he's right, that was a legit 30 roll, 30 is slow AF, he just wanted to hook up in 1st and then run out, smart man. If he isn't good at donuts, and that's his reason for letting Micah do it, I like you even more Jerry. People who know their limits and are still badasses are the ultimate badasses. Random, but just needs to be said.
Well fricking said man👏🏼
✊️
mike was going 40 before the line lol
Factoids my guy
@@ChudDogg92 43 at the hand drop before the barrel. Even with the cheat he BARELY crossed the finish line ahead of the Mazda.
get Jerry back, he knows what's up
Let's check out your competition
Lil Jerry: "Tell em I said whats up:
And hert
I had an uncle that used to own an FD with that same sound system. I was INCREDIBLE! complete immersion in the sound. We took a long day trip in it one time and it was one of the greatest days of my childhood.
I've owned the RX7 new before back in the '90s. Let me tell you something. The difference in reliability of these cars is so vast can't even come close to explaining to you how much better the Corvette is of a car. And I loved my rx
will now it is a corvette rx7 ls7
Dude asked for a 30 roll then left at 45 with a car length lead 🤦🏼♂️
True that man
And still saying he "stopped right at 30" 😂
@@Bastiaan_NL as if it wasn’t on camera 😂
And he still got walked down. Another 30ft i think he would have took him
@@fnaauto7282 right, you look at the replay and he was at 47 when passing the drop
So basically a Corvette vs a Japanese Corvette
*Edit: I have started a war in the comments
an LS swapped RX7 is pretty much a prettier C5 corvette
Pretty sure the FD was first so that makes the vette and american rx7
@@vwpassat444 Nah I think the c5 looks very similar and just as good as an rx7. I’d take the c5 but both are great looking
idiots don’t understand what a transaxle is and it shows
@@nonsugarnoki the corvette you're talking about is the c5 came out in 97 the fd came out before in 92 but fd looks more like the the sr1 viper which came out same year but not as good as the fd ask playboy 😉
Hands down some of the best content on YT right now!! Always entertaining!!
Jerry is a menace!!! Absolutely amazing please bring him back.
That man was damn near at 60 when he crossed the start line😂
"who'd you get this from?" "darius." "ok" lmaoooo love this dude, down to biz he wana race
I STAND FOR THE PEOPLE WHEN I SAY WE NEED A GARY N JERRY SHOW NOW!!!
“Sometimes” 😂 editing had me up here rolling. Also, Jerry was ace.
“Jerry’s a good man, hard working, great citizen, but what does the inside of this car look like if we may ask?”
10/10 segue
Ah, the old “500 horse Ls3” 😆😉
lol yeah I had an ls3 with a cam that made 490, that thing is making 6xx lol
A healthy ls3 with headers and a cam will make 500+ this thing is probably in the mid 600s
Haha that’s when I knew I hat rx7 was gonna take it
Exactly my thoughts they make 480-500 cam only
@@thelachsmith81 I had a friend with an ls3 Vette big cam, headers, tune and it made 490 to the wheels corrected. It needs more than just that to make over 500. Intake manifold would put it over 500. To get 600+ NA it's going to need heavily worked heads, reworked block etc or just some silly sauce.
600 in an ls7 sure but not an LS3.
Jerry is a driver dude. He just wanted to rip it, and he definitely did! That RX-7 is NO DOUBT fast. I wanna see what the other cars he has! Bring back Jerry!
The RX-7 is 800+ lbs lighter so that's a pretty big power to weight advantage.
Right. Power to weight ratio is a huge part of racing. It must be addressed but run what you brung right. No need for race in drag racing though.
@@JKZ103 True, in the end all you can do is run what you bring. An LS in a little car that is no joke, i thought he would power steer, but he kept it straight every run.
loving Gary more and more as he shows up on these episodes. Good races and a great matchup, with some pretty charismatic drivers. Jerry was fun to have on.
What other cars did he bring?
Gary has been fire since day one
“I ain’t got no speedo” made me lose it😂
reminds me of my LS7 FD lol
Another good race! I feel these videos are getting better with less side skits and extensive talking. Getting to the action is what keeps us hooked
Still as tricky as always Uncle Gary, also loved having Micah running bits and pieces of the show. 👌 Keep em coming
Gary is a trip I swear this man keeps me dying inside laughing so flucking hard 🤣🤣🤣😖😵
He's a national treasure.
Dude same, I was beyond stoked when he recently showed up in the Hoonigan vids again. Even just his random throwaway comments are main course material fr lmfao
I swear, Gary is one of the very few people i'd go through the effort to watch if they started streaming
@@von... you know he has a channel and does stream on it right?
@@Sk1m_Beeble yes, but I didnt know he streams on it. its liiiiit
Good god, I seriously think the FD RX-7 is one of the top 5 best looking cars ever made.
i love the dude filming in the rx7 when hes doin donuts, hes just geekin and happy to be there
Jerry put together one awesome RX7!
"Let's do a 30 roll."
*goes 43*
🤣
And only won by half a car.
The dry, matter of fact way the RX7 guy talks is just perfect for drag racing.
One of the best Eps in ages!
I’m so glad we influenced the whole Gary joining the hoonigan team those was the legendary DAILY TRANSMISSION DAYS 🔥
You need to get Rob Dahm and his rotary C5 Z06 to race that LS RX7
Agreed!! This would be a great race!!
Suppy has an LS RX7, they were going to do a race with Rob but it hasn't happened yet
Dude said let’s do a 30 roll and started at 45💀😂
😂
RX w/Bored and stroked LS3 w 650 hp and a bad ass driver .....loved every minute of it. both perfect cars for the show.... thanks Hoon team
Met Lil Jerry at the Sacramento track. Coolest dude and doesn't act all stuck up. Salute bro 🙏 💯
Well that's one way to avoid rotary issues, nasty RX-7 👍
That's the only reason I'd swap the rotary. I'd go with a v6 swap, though.
@@TheSh4dowgale na inline 6 would be better
The way to avoid Rotary "issues" is to find a competent rotary builder and tuner that won't scam you...
@Faze King123 too much torque for that chassis 😂
@@TheSh4dowgale non car guy clearly but that’s ok
Gary is 100000% the funniest lol.
This was the best episode to date
I'm here just to say, he a real Corvette owner. Every Corvette is 1 of 500 in that paint code, with those wheel, with a manual, and that interior.
Man that Rx-7 gets down!! Very clean build!
I called it too; before the specs all loaded for both cars. I think he even had a little left under his foot too - he’s definitely a showman.
What a RIPPER
Except he didn't build it :P
Dude just knew how to waffle the numbers to secure the easy match to walk on
@@NekoWinters And in my comment I never said anything about the owner building it anyway. I just said nice build. Implying that whoever built it did a good job. Because that rx7 obviously didn’t come stock from the factory/dealership with that Ls motor in it. Think and use your brain 🧠 next time before you go talking and making yourself look dumb
@@trevorsanchez2470 you need to start looking at people's Instagram's tags when they start saying they built stuff, dude offloaded all the work on others, rich brat nothing else
ZR1 needs driver mod but the RX7 is clean
That Rx7 is lightweight. And probably only 100 hp less.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar 255less hp and light weight but that ZR1 driver wasn’t using full potential at all
@@ahmeddiagne1906
Horsepower difference is a lot less than that. The ZR1 has 755 crank HP whereas the RX-7 has 500 wheel HP. Assuming the typical 15% drivetrain loss you have with a modern RWD manual the ZR1 is making about 640 wheel HP so more like a 140 difference. Add to that the RX-7 weighing 850lbs less and even with the ZR1 having driver mod it would've still lost.
@@deyeatdapoopoo7582 Absolutely, and we can’t forget the ZR1 got a lot of drag with that wing slowing it even more
@@vwjetta4138 Good point with regard to aerodynamic drag. In fact it generates 750 lbs of downforce, "at speed", per GM. However, to my knowledge, they've never stated what speed that is. Hence most suspect it's at top speed which is ~214 MPH. Note: I say this since I have a ZR1 with the ZTK track package, same as this ZR1. And although it's great on a road course it has a negative effect in the 1/4 for the reason you mentioned. That said, my pick was the Mazda due to the power to weight ratio. And of course driver skill became apparent during the run.
This episode had me hyped up! Good show fellas🙏🏾
Jerry, a TRUE street racer that obviously came from the late 90's, early 2000's. He's got the swag, the heart, and the demeanor of a guy that grew up running cars for cash, shutting down 4 wide lanes of the highway and learning his cars from the ground up. A true car guy. Mike, a true "bought it because I can and went to a driving school"....guy.
Get that RX-7 on the Dyno episode. 😂🤣
Jerry is a racecar driver.
He drove so goshdang fast.........
But, it looked like it was just merging into the interstate. Love it. 😂
But this time he won the checkered flag and the came in last
Gary hosting this show is what was the show needs
Watching this while I cool down from the sun. Memorial Day weekend timing chain job on the Mustang and this is a great way to take a break.
"yeah lets do a 30 roll" goes 43mph
One of my favorite episodes.. cometary, cars, races.. this thing was indeed a knockerofde slobber..
Best series on CZcams hands down
Big respect for this This vs That, 2 manuals, amazing sounding cars (even though im not an american V8 guy) + the drivers were genuinely nice to each other and honestly, that counts for more than their car or who won the race
You guys make great content. Keep up the amazing work hoonigans!!!
We're all ready for the Jerry vs Jerry episode when he brings the whole fleet out
Lil Jerry got all the swagger, enjoyed this one 🏎
I love seeing the other Hoonigan hosts getting some action! Gary and Micah are hilarious!
Yeah I definitely feel like that RX7 has a little more than he's saying
Na, it makes 500 to the tire while the c7 is 755 at the crank so 675 or so to the tire while the rx7 weighs 800lbs less
“30 roll.” 🤔 Helmet cam clearly shows he was going over 50. 😂
Exactly
This was the best episode!!! It was funny and interesting the whole time even when everyone was giving the breakdown on their cars!! I was going for the FD this time!!
More Gary. More Jerry. Thank you.
This has to be by FAR! The funniest episode had me rolling the whole time
Producer: how many beats you guys want
The crew: Yes
Lil Jerry is MADE for this channel!
The C7 CORVETTE ZR1 IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CAR. So I must first say thank you for having it on here. Not many videos on the car. Secondly the owner got the Supercharger size wrong. Its an Eaton roots style charger with 2.65 liters of displacement. Hence why GM internally called it the BAS. B for big and S for supercharger. Ill let you all guess what the A stood for. Improvements over the Z06 and all other C7'S are as follows. Everything front of the steering wheel is unique to the ZR1. 15 radiators. More than the Veyron Bugatti. Dual Injection. Direct and port injection. No more eco modes. Different internals including titanium rods and heads. Crankshaft ETC. More cooling for the transmission and fluids to avoid heat soak. Unique interior accents and a quilted headliner above the driver and passenger. Bigger wheels slightly and a reworked brake system. It stops faster than the Z06. ZTK is the track oriented version. Huge wing. Canards up front. Michelin Pilot sport cup 2t tires and reworked suspension. Low wing ZR1'S HIT 214 MILES AN HOUR flat out. Michelin Super sport tires I believe. ZR1'S OF THE SEVENTH generation use the most carbon fiber of any GM car ever. The hood front fenders, supercharger cover, wing side skirts, and roof. But due to the weight of the fluid in all those radiators, it weighs more than all other C7'S. But it wont heat soak. There's more but that's the main good stuff. Good day chaps. FORGOT TO ADD. The factory air intake they later released for the ZR1 and Z06 added another 18 horsepower. So around 78 for the ZR1 and 10 horsepower for the Z06. STINGRAYS SAW NO INCREASE. And the horsepower produced is worst case scnerio. Meaning in colder weather or whatever the engine makes more power. So at least itll make the SAE certified 755 horsepower without said air intake And lastly the ZR1 has the loudest stock exhaust ever for a Corvette.
Purposely lost that second race for a better negotiation on the third. Smart move
Thats not how it works, if he won, he would already be 2-0 xD
@@frog382He has disadvantage on a roll, and the Vette was taking the lead, he has better chance of winning if he was leading on the roll hence he purposely lose the second race for the better negotiation on the third..it's a good strategy fam
@@rhinohippo55 I think you didnt catch it... He won the first one, its 1-0, if he throws the run, its 1-1, if he doesnt, he wins the competition with 2-0 and the third run would be bonus one. If he won the bonus run then, it would be 2-1, the same as if he threw the 2nd one.
Also, if he could win the 2nd, why would he risk it by taking it to the 3rd run?
Best YT series EVER!!!
I believe it. My friends hci c6 Z06 will keep up with a c7 zr1 automatic down the straights on a track day. Given the fd rx7s weight and aero is similar to the c6 I'm not suprised. 15 intercoolers doesn't come for free the c7 zr1 has horrid aerodynamics compared to the c6 and the fd. Zr1 is also extremely heavy. But that rx7 is def making more than 500hp.
Gary is just a breath of fresh air in this series n no homo lol...
Shout out from RSA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Gary made this one an instant classic with his comments.😂😭
That rx7 is light and making great power with a good driver...something tells me after 140 mph or so on a highway or with more space that zr1 with the 755hp would start pulling it in tho...but honestly he even won the roll races which was insane that truly is a beast of a car but like I said I think after a buck 40 or so that zr1 would walk it down and that c7 was held back by lack of space and a driver who still has to master his car and possibly break it in a little more
Couldn’t agree more. The FD driver said it makes 500 *to the wheels* and it’s 800 lbs lighter. The ZR1 had no chance from any dig or roll from less than 80. ZR1 has a great ability to keep pulling hard well above 100. And while I’m sure that FD has plenty of top end too…it’s still down close to 200hp (ZR1 makes around 680 to the wheels with that airbox). And horsepower matters a lot trying to pull from triple digit speeds.
Very true, and yes the zr1 driver was just some guy that owns a nice car. He’s no driver, but something tells me that the RX-7 is making more than 500 lol
Zach reminded me it's the official start of summer this weekend, and here I am still waiting for car parts I ordered in February....
Jerry is a street hustler, mad respect to both drivers for bringing some cool shit out to play. I’ve been wanting to do a LS swapped rx8 and this is a compelling argument for it!
Gary was right, they both bought a car. But at least Jerry can drive his
I saw rx7 and was so excited, then I saw ls swap and was slightly put out.
The first words is LS swapped
@@surrenderthebitchesjedi6001 I'm sorry I don't scan titles like I read a novel. I happened to see RX-7 first, sue me bitch.
Lovely performing Rx7! One of my many dream builds.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... whoever is in charge of the graphics is on point!
Oh yeah it makes 500, it's a 70whp car if you get the rpms low enough. That RX7 is wild.
Always a banger, never bet against an FD
yall lit best youtube channel of all time GOATS
really nice races, result is exactly wat i expect 😎
Jerry: Mike you wanna get down Mike?
Mike: Jerry you gotta ride with me
Jerry: Hell NAW!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Jerry is funny
Get jerry back asap gotta see what all he got
I know first hand the rx7 is his slowest car
I think I speak for everyone when I say bring Jerry back. Dude is awesome to watch
cant wait for more Lil Jerry
jerry is one of the best drivers youve had on. he needs a spot on the crew fasho
Hell nah jit
I think my man in the ZR1 is still intimidated by his cars power!! Watching his speedo in the clips he wasn't pushing the car hard. It's like he's still scared of it if he is he shouldn't be racing it.
You could tell he's not really dragged raced before when he done his burn out. Plus the comment about the drive school. I give it to him though he gave it his all and tried!!
it's probably traction control on a conservative setting in full effect
Whoever edit these videos is the Beast y'all killed me with that D'Angelo clip
Jerry's a driver! Perfect shifts.
LOL yeah there is no way that a heads/cam ls3 with LS7 internals is at 500 wheel. I'm making 460 with a LS1 H/C.
590-620hp would make more sense with the weight difference.
With just heads and a cam? I'm not so sure about that
Right my LQ4 with a MS4 cam and stock 799 heads put down 450whp.
@@beardedforlife3740 yep Texas speed 243 port and polished heads with springs and rockers, Brian tooley racing stage 3 cam. It put down 460@ 6800RPM.
I have longtubes and full exhaust also with an OTR air intake. But the actual intake is factory.
@@SuperSilvi1990 with a factory intake manifold? That becomes even more doubtful
@@beardedforlife3740 my car is a 04 gto so it came factory with the better ls6 intake that was on the C5 Zo6. LS1s get a bad rap because they don’t make the torque of a LS2 but the can make about the same in HP. It’s only a .3 liter difference and 14 cubic inches. It’s been an amazing engine.
That rx7 is pushing way More power than driver is admitting
Nah thay Zr1 is making less than 750, that 40-100 was abysmally slow for 750 wheel. Like that's more power than a hellcat in a lighter car.
@@Dukes3677 that's because the 755hp is at the crank. 707hp hellcat doesn't make 700 at the wheels either
Most impressive thing on this video was Garys cartwheel at the end.
Yoooo jerry a bad man!!! Coolest car I’ve seen on this channel so far.
