What would you rather have? An old school hot rod like Shant's LS swapped 1969 Volvo Amazon or a brand new (and super comfortable) Volkswagen Golf R MK8? The old but heavily modified Volvo is V8 LS swapped, RWD, H-pattern and has a ton of character that comes with it but the brand new VW is turbocharged, shifts itself extremely fast and has zero wheel spin because of the sophisticated 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. Lucky for you we have a great This vs That episode to help pick between them -- enjoy!

Didn't expect the volvo to launch this good compared to a R, holy shit
The long first gives him a good smooth break out.. nice!
I’m pretty sure the VW was NOT using launch control
Especially impressive with that 235/40 18.
I honestly thought he'd have massive week spin or break loose at some point shifting.
That tall first gear definitely helped.
@@carcrazynyc996 it doesn't seem so but we may be wrong, but I know he's wrong for shifting gears himself instead of the computer cause that last race looks like he got a better take off
I think alot of credit comes down to the driving capability of the driver of the Volvo, he's an drag racer and knows what he is doing.
Cool to see an actual affiliate from VW competing in this drag race and letting them publish it when they lose. Nice way to connect with people who might be interested
Man, no shame in losing to a way lighter, LS swapped beast. That R was right in it. Faster reaction time and I think he would have had him.
to be fair, It seems like if they launched at the same time, and the Golf R was left in auto, he would've won for sure. Also didn't seem like the Golf R had traction control off all the way since even my mk7 golf R stock squeals tires on launch with it off with all the carbon build up at 85k miles
You'd think they would have gave him a bigger shirt...
@@wasssabio maybe they improvdd the awd system/launch control so that the car doesn't slip anymore?
Too bad the rep didn't even know how to drive the car to the fullest potential. No LC, and manually shifting murders your qtr mile times
The Volvo hooks cause of the long first gear, but damn, it sounds like a powerglide the shift is so far out there. I thought the R might get out far enough on the launch that the Volvo wouldn't be able to run it down thanks to AWD, but whoopsie, we ended up with some of the closest races ever on This vs That. Very cool match up!!!
Shant gets down!
@@TheHoonigans did the VW even use launch control?
@@NattyGuy it didn't. You would've been able to hear it and they wouldn't of even been close the 1st and 2nd race
@@Nyfloridaboi and he was also shifting himself didn't let the dsg do its job
420hp from 69? Nice man 👌
NICE
Ls1 swap
Nice
Nice.
*Super* *nice*
2:12 the editor needs an editing Oscar for this 🤣🤣
This is awesome! Thank you Hoonigan for making it happen. We had a great time up there.
That VW is fast! Im sure with a little more seat time Sean will smoke my Volvo!
Sweet ride and nice driving! That's a badass little Volvo.
Man, u have one of the coolest modified Volvos that i've seen. Congrats from Brazil
@@Centermass762 Thanks dude!
@@HarryDKramer Haha thanks man! Happy to see people like it as much as i do.
Thanks for doing this! I am seriously looking at adding a Golf R to my fleet and still couldn't help but cheer for you, lol.
That Volvo looks so fucking clean and now I really want one.
Good luck, its one of the last volvos which rust. Its like 50 for sale in sweden, 6k usd for a stock streetlegal running project
Dude was talking about how ratty it was but he likes it that way then there's you saying it's clean LMAO I'm betting the cameras helping it out.
Check out Throttle Stop Garage, dude is building a carbon fiber Amazon with a turbo 5 cylinder in his garage all by himself.
@@Looptydude Thanks!
My biggest qualm is that when the guy said "I'm a little hurt," no one said "he's a big Hert."
You actually use words like that? Lol.
That volvo is GORGEOUS. Buddy had a stock one on high-school. Now has a manual 60R with 450hp. And a 240 2 door with over 300.
Definitely one of the closer, more enjoyable matchups
And it's not insane amounts of power its something that any average Joe could have.
Sean and the 8R are two of my BFFs, but no one could be sad with how surprisingly epic this matchup was! You all killed it choosing this matchup - jumping out of my seat as they crossed the finish line, just cheering the spectacle of another awesome This Vs That. Mad love for the Volvo and whoever chose this pairing!
A wild Jamie appears
@Jamie Orr, you some kind of VW fanboy or something? Not sure since you stopped posting videos
WE MISS YOU BRO!
I’m I the only one that heard we might be getting those seats??
@@averyfolkman506 we are 100% getting that shape seat, but for launch in different material / colorways than the grey/blue in this pre-production car :-)
Thanks@@isaacshively6705 - new video up RN, and more coming ASAP on the road to SEMA :-)
That LS in that Volvo is purrrrfect an the color alone is deserving of my pick
Edit: Hert checking everyones wrist now 😅🤦😂😂😂😂
He had to check for safety.
Of course like they say safety first! 😂😂
Love this episode, as a VW guy and a lover of V8s this was awesome to see a off the showroom floor VW with no mods, keep up with a light body v8, it’s pretty awesome to see how far VW have come…
They didn't have to censor the nos can, but I can respect that lol. Nads is hilarious 🤣
They're sponsored by NOS. The joke is Nad's licking the can like a giant dick needed to be censored. Vin was literally drinking one 3 seconds before without the blur.
@@xDPx-zh7vr Yea I understood that. I was saying they weren't asked to, they just did it preemptively.
Honestly hoonigan needs to make a playlist. With the amount of music they feature on the channel
I was just thinking that!! The soundtrack bumps, I would rock it out on the streets//
Perhaps someone has a Spotify playlist made up already?
The dude at VW reminds me of the Steve Buscemi teen character with the backwards hat
"How do you do fellow racers?"
That was sick! I was impressed with that amazon at the new lot but even more amazed now. Big dude is a legend too and a hell of a builder.
This match up was surprisingly good… & satisfying!
Extremely close and entertaining race. Loving this series, keep it up guys.
The first 3min of this video was hilarious but these matchups are always funny and entertaining and awesome!! Thanks guys!!
Pro tip: if your cars manufacturer spent millions on a dual clutch…DONT SHIFT YOURSELF lmao
He wanted to manually shift it tho
Some people want involvement you know more “involvoment” in that case i guess
While this doesn’t apply to all DCTs I’d agree. Especially if the transmission isn’t tuned.
@@Coopjab any modern sports car with a dct will be faster doing its own thing, it will automatically use the best shift points. VWs wont bang the limiter they will auto upshift anyways. As a man pedal guy i hate to say it but the computer will always be faster....
@5:57 "Volvo Amazon" Vinny: I don't think I've ever seen these in the WILD.
Cheeky little dad joke
This has to go down as one of the most exciting This Vs. That episodes!! WOW that was some close racing from two totally different cars. Good gawd those shifts in the Amazon, that dude was bang'in through the gears!!! What a kick a55 car.
I love when people give some love to old classics. Gave me the temptation and now I got myself an 1984 Benz AMG 500 SEL time to show him love 👌
That golf R is nice. Needs some bolt ons and a tune and it'll be rippin
Seriously though, just a full exhaust and intake system would make that thing rip
Crackle tune is a must lmao
@@emanh4keem_san420 the mk8 crackles from factory lol
Yea it's fast, but still no match to the mk7. Mk8 looks so cheap compared to the previous gen
@@MrTARIQSs now crackle the pistons
13:45 dude you just crushed my can mannnnn 🤣😂
That was a great classic versus modern! keep em comin!
Awesome. One the best races I have ever seen...
I love seeing more volvo content on here :)
I think it's so funny when you see all these cars that have manufactured tags out of Michigan
Love the content boys!! I look forward to every upload...!! 👍
this was awesome race, but daaamn cannot wait to see that next race
😎
I’m just waiting for daily driver drags 2
“Double Ds”
dude that daily driver drags video is one of my all time favorites from this channel, want to see a V2
It wasn’t about the driver’s reaction time in the Golf R. He didn’t used the Launch Control. Without LC the DSG has this lag even in Sport mode. Launch Control would give about 0.8 sec to 0-60 and with this extra he could’ve been the winner. Anyway, that Volvo is crazy. 👍🏻😃
Ye, over 1 sec slower 0-100km/h with out LC....
AND he was changing manually..i find the golf r dsg is faster when it changes it self at redline rather then short shifting be at 6k, iv had 3.7 seconds to 60 with just a jb1 tuning box otherwise totally stock. Without launch control used in same road same conditions im seeing 4.4 seconds.
For sure with launch control the Golf R would've won. It is so much faster 0-60 with it. The launch control in the Golf R is very, very good unlike most cars of it's class that have launch control. Not even going to mention how DSG is not only faster but more consistent as well.
Anyways, that Volvo is a beast, not trying to crap on it, it’s just the Golf R wasn’t given it’s opportunity to show 100% of what it can do
With modern automatics. You have to let them do the work. It's hard to give up the manual shifting when for so long it was the faster way and making it about the driver and machine. So much of it now is left up to the engineers before the driver even sits in the car.
You have to consider taking the manual shift as a personal accomplishment.
@@Anakin0217 If im not mistaken he had launch control on for the third race. With the go and launch control you can see how bad he beat me. that thing is fast!
Thanks for another awesome episode 🤘🏼
This has been one of the best TVT races yet. Good job guys.
I'm genuinely curious if my VW boy was even using Launch Control in the Golf R, because that was stupid close. Although I'm proud of myself with my predictions of how the race would go regardless.
For some vague reason he was shifting the dsg box manually...
I was wondering that too actually. Unless it’s really quite or quitter than previous models I couldn’t hear the car holding the rpms for launch control.
@@nielsdebakker3283 making rookie mistakes
I bet our guy had the traction control on and was not even in Race mode. He did not use LC. We would have heard it and seen it. He babied the little Golf and there was NO full send.
@@backseatdriver8902 I noticed that too. Should have been an easy win for the Golf R.
i never knew the volvo amazons existed up until the last few years... n now they've quickly become one of my FAVORITE volvos. Cuz u got a wesome wagon and regular versions, n they look so sexy n stylish! The next best volvo imo looks wise, the P1800
Volvo amazon b20 with dual weber 45 carbs sounds great
funy thing the p1800 and the amazon are almost the same car except looks
Thank god it’s back! It felt like almost forever!! I was having this versus that withdrawals!!!
One of the best matchups so far. Loving the Amazon
"I don't even know what engines are in the cars or what these cars even are. Probably the Volvo. I like Volvo's. They're cool." - Alex. Yeah Alex, Volvo's are cool. Ty for saying so. Single tear from a proud Volvo c30 owner. The Volvo community is amazing too btw. That LS swap amazon is a beauty! Loved the full breakdown video on it with Uncle Larry!
p.s.
I think this video has the record amount of times Volvo's been said in a Hoonigan video.
I have a rule, I'm never racing a volvo. you just don't know with volvo guys, they always are either bone stock or make like 1000 hp and will look identical lol.
Volvo is running essentially a Corvette motor, Golf R is turbocharged inline 4 I believe.
Haven’t even watched the video. That Volvos won everything already hands down champion
Well they didn't do a rolling race which I'm sure the Volvo would have won. On the other hand, it would have been interesting to see which car has the shortest stopping distance. Especially since I couldn't help but notice they didn't mention the brakes.
You guys kill me love the videos keep up the good hard work great team....
really enjoyed this race. Really good matchup. What liked is they both hooked up. To many races ive seen where cars that should probably win, break loose through each gear. Maybe because of the surface not sure.. But i enjoyed this one.
That was a great race! Would love to see a MKII Golf with mean 16V turbo or VR6 turbo! 😁
Does VW still build the VR6? I don't think so.
@@krane15 ?
That was awesome. The Volvo was freight training by the time they got to 1000. Imagine 1500.
This was one of the best match ups yet... totally randomly different cars and only a bumper difference at the end of the strip.
Just rewatched the Amazon video yesterday, love this car
The whole concept of the launch control on the golf is that you don’t manual change it
The best way to start our work week 💪
For years, I've wanted to do an Amazon, black, tube-frame with a Ford Voodoo in it. Making the engine fit would be a heckuva trick, but just imagine the cool factor.
Perfect match up great racing guys 🤘
I wanna see what would've happened if he'd left it in auto with the first races
If the guy in the VW had better reaction time he would have won
woman is snoring!🥇🏅🏆🎖🧘♂️🧘♀️🧗♂️
She was surprised to find🍽🥢🥤🥃🥂🍻🍺
what a nice plump m🍊🍉🍈🍇
Nah, DSG gearboxes are lazy from the line, it takes a good second or two for them to get going.
They are getting better as time goes on, but for instance my 08 Audi TTS DSG is absolutely terrible from a standstill.
@@yammer5 Nope. He shiftet manual. Would he have let the DSG do the Job. he would have won all. I drive a Seat Leon and my Buddy drives the Golf GTI TCR that thing is insane of the line.
You guys make me laugh with the video editing in a good way. 🤣🤣🤣.
I love how you guys add in hilarious video clips after someone says something that can be thought of in so many different ways like he said about the engine slipping right in and you used a Ace Ventura rhino a$$ clip.
The sound effects for cursing is great also.
I remember having one of those Volvo in Need for Speed Heat, that thing shredded! And it was beautiful
That Volvo is just awesome
Love that Volvo, cleanest I’ve ever seen
Ever?
That Volvo freight trains like a mother on the top end. What a great race!
Excited for the next episode, since my friend recently got a new Type R.
Whoa, that was an awesome matchup, and nice driving and shifting on the volvo.
Why he manual shifting when auto is faster!? Great race through. Volvo looking clean
Yeah. The DSG in sport mode, and the launch feature, should have made this even closer, if not a win for the R. And yeah also mad respect for that Volvo..
Exactly! The Golf would have won the first two races if he'd just fired it in auto and let the DSG do what it does best!
Love the sleeper look of the Volvo but, have to agree at the end, that Stock Hatch able to keep up with a 400 HP monster. Super cool!
Right on!
Only thing I id not like was that TT spoiler on the boot lid.
That was bad ass 💯🤙 need more like this
HAHAA !! was totally not expecting the Jim Carrey Ace Ventura insert .. perfect
Would love to see a full apr tune R in the future. Heard this things are pretty fast
Over 400hp to the wheels. They're pretty fast.
3.5 0-100
Full bolt on that R and that volvo won't stand a chance
420hp ‘69 volvo…..nice combinations ;)
62 my friend. Be glad for that, the grills make all the difference on an Amazon.66' are pure sex compared to any other year.
That volvo is awesome, at first it seemed like it was totally screwed and then the little volvo still pulled it off! So awesome
One of the best races/ matchups in the history of the show
2 big mistake from the R driver
1- Doesnt use the launch control
2- Use the paddleshift for ''manually shift'' instead of letting the ECU do a way better job
Trust me he would have won both race without does rookie mistakes
Biggest mistake was saying he didn't wanna do a donut..
Yo he wouldve won if a robot did all the driving and hey what if hr had auto pilot too so he could do nothing at all that would be super cool 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
@@AutohousePerformanceProject the point was to see which car was faster, R could have won all 3
@@AutohousePerformanceProject You pay extra $$ to get all the technologies in a R. So why dont use them especially in a race. If you want pure feeling without any ''robot'' doing the job, dont get a DCT Golf R.
@@francisbrosseau1143 yo i noticed too a lot of comments are dick riding the golf R pretty hard, this was great close races where they didnt make it boring and have the golf R do all the work. Yea the golf R mightve won but it seemed to lose out top end anyways + his jumps off the line were pretty good.
That Volvo is great. As much as the VW's are quick and "well" built... they been gawd aweful boring since the 90's for me. Gimme that analog all day baby!!!!
I agree ! The eighties square bodied vw were so much more exciting
That overhand grip technique is legit. 😂
You guys have upped your game. Loving it
I'd take the Volvo anyday
Does Golf used launch control? I think he can a better start
It will chirp the tires on launch control, especially on the normal tires. Without it (and especially in Drift + ESC Off) it will let you spin the tires (and the car) as much as you want - included essentially doing AWD donuts. :-)
Wow, great race guys.
That was a race ! Nice!
One of my favourite this or that for sure. Love both cars.
These close races are the best 👍👍
So I've been to bells o vaugn a few times and have seen that car up close and personal it was amazingly built and the owner is a super cool dude very chill.
2:03 Hert 🤣🤣👌👌
maximum trolling to start watching the video laughing. I already knew you were going to make that joke because we applied it in the neighborhood.
Good vídeo like all 👌
That first race was epic.
I couldn't be happier to see this beauty Volvo and win 👍 Love that car! Only seen one Amazon at my local car show before Covid and it was all stock and perfect 👌
Should have done a driver mod on the VW, Volvo guy all over it, knows his car and peddled and shifted great. Awesome vid guys, cheers from Aussie 🤙
11:37 I love how the wipers lift on volvo , like a speedometer :))
Your guys chemistry is something else 😂
Yoooo that volv is the true sleeper definition 🤣🤣🤣 it took me by surprise. Woooow!!!
Such odd matchups is why I keep coming back! Most fun videos!!!!
Lmao @ the Mclovin meme
Miss those mixtapes with that drop
This was a great matchup
I love seeing VDubs on here. Thank you.
Nice shifting in the VM!
Had a 122... absolutely amazing vehicle.
Okok this was unexpectedly SICK
I think other than the hoonicorn and the all wheel Audi this was the best race ive seen
Yeah, this race was awesome.
dude best race in a minute...
The edits never fail!
Caught myself yelling and waving my fists around for that Volvo chasing him down. Awesome stuff, guys - that Amazon is killer!
love that amazon..grew up with half of my fam driving them..didn't pull like this tho
The wipers on the Volvo moving up the screen the faster he gets, old skool problems getting me nostalgic
13:42 Woah!!! Now when are we seeing that in a drag race?!
