1100hp Big Block Chevy Nova Dragster on Slicks vs Ken Block's AWD Mustang

  • We keep saying that Ken Block’s Ford Mustang Hoonicorn was never meant to be a drag car. So how does it stack up next to an actual drag car? We hit up Chris P. of Aint Skeerd Racing (who helped us with local tire mounting) to bring out his ’66 Nova SS, since it had all the right drag car ingredients. A big block, big wrinkle slicks, an auto trans and a serious cage - all mixed in with a dash of race gas. But, is it enough to beat AWD on an unprepped surface?

      It’s AWD vs RWD and dudes on a full slick no matter how big the tire is if he doesn’t do a burnout he would have little to no grip cause it’s a non prepped surface and it would even be a race. You can also see that the nova has his launch super low and soft just to increase his chance of hooking up and getting traction. You gotta make the race somewhat fair no one wants to see the guy blowing the tires off like what happened with the donk. The hoonicorn is almost guaranteed to hook up cause AWD hence the lack of a burnout. And even if the hoonicorn does haze the tires Ken just drives through it and it gets traction and away he goes. No one is mentioning it cause the hoonicorn is still lighter and makes more power not even on a prepped track would the races be different tbh. The power to weight ratios are just too drastically different. They need to bring in an AWD car with similar power and weight to really have a good interesting race. Will they do it probably not but it would make it way more interesting if they did.

      Neither one of those cars would have a chance on an un-prepped surface like this. The Hoonicorn would grenade the drive line on a prepped track. So no, I seriously doubt we'll ever see any of those match ups.

Seriously, why is nobody talking about this? Not ONE of these races was fair. I could roll up in my Passat and they'd call it the matchup of the century.
      Plus, they (mostly Hert) are such sore winners: "Here's a 1400+hp, under 3000lb, awd, sequential transmission car built by a team of engineers and driven by a professional racing driver. Here's an 1100 hp, 4000+lb, rwd, carbureted car driven by a guy in his 60's.... Oh look, the undefeated car wins again! Let's rub it in this guy's face while he reconsiders his decisions and wonders how long it'll take to replace his broken motor. #MopEmUp!"

      While I agree with you, you know they aren't going to start the serie with Hoonicorn getting stomped on. Still entertaining. I hope, by the end, they have a couple of match-ups that are the other way around.

      Well the hoonicorn does keep racing less powerful heavier cars 🙄.. I wanna see it line up with some of the big awd dogs (any ugr lambo , alpha gtr , red demon dsm, speedfactory civic ect ) or hit the stip and race ruby , Leroy , the trick flow camaro ect .. but then we all know the outcomes of those races

      For real though, the closest on paper have been the RS3 and Rob. The RS3 would mop the hoonicorn on a tire, I believe it took the W off camera, and Rob was fingers crossed he didn't blow up on his first drive.
      I get the hype machine, but we need an actual matchup, one they're not worried about filming.
