Thanks so much guys for having me, I was grinning from ear to ear afterwards. I have read a few comments below, but decided its simply not worth replying to some of the hate, it was down to me, lack of prep as I had been seriously ill for 6 months, the first burnout the car had done was on the show, the launch control wasnt set up properly, again tested on the show, the tyres were way out of date, yada yad yada, lots of excuses, but, ask yourself, if you were given this once in a lifetime would you say no? Or put yourself out there? The matchups were due to the Mini I was due to race breaking a halfshaft, the Sam's Evo was meant to race a drag setup Jetta, which also broke a shaft, so hence the matchup, after Sams car ate its gearbox the guys from Spotted Motors stepped up with the Cortina, yes, I think he had over 1000bhp advantage, but I was honoured to have my doors blown off 🤣, For the haters below, would you rather watch this? Or just have no content at all?
Hoonigan - Officially Gassed - Rotiform - and especially Jay - Amazing - Thank you

Man these this vs that videos use to get a million views every single time now barely hitting a quarter million. Thanks wheel pros for forcing the heart and soul of hoonigan out of the company, it sure worked out for yall !

[jondrizzle]

That escort is absolutely fucking beautiful

[godbelow]

Ahh yes, only 75% MORE horsepower AND AWD this time for the winner. Well done.

[TJT]

So tired of these one sided match ups.. do better hoonigan!

[JoshCx]

The crash and burn of Hoonigan will be studied one day in history classes 😂

[danielwitham]

400hp rwd VS higher HP AWD in tiny cars. Definitely fair.

[joseperez]

That ford is the cleanest build I've seen in a cool while. Tastefully done.

[McCormickAlexandria]

Every Hoonigan video " here we have it a 1200hp Nascar vs my John Deer Riding Mower" "wow... now that's a race!"

[howa]

That bonus round wheelie.... Wooo boy!

[estevanL]

They should change the Hoonigans YouTube channel’s name to “ This vs That” 😂smh that’s all they put out now

[Cazual__Gamer]

You guys are on a roll for bad videos. It’s getting to the point where I can barely remember when the last good one was. Too bad Carwow didn’t upload today.

[officially_gassed]

LETS GO!! 🏁 THANKS AGAIN FOR HAVING ME 🙌🏽

[superbrit]

No chance in a million years that Escort has 400bhp, 14 second quarters are 200bhp territory in a car of that weight.

As soon as i saw Sam’s Evo i clicked so fast! His previous stock frame setup was insane. So i knew he wouldn’t lose

14:43 "when you come to this show you know what's up, we gonna have a completely unfair lineup and pretend we know what we're talking about"

[randbaldwin]

I'm worried about this channel. Gary? Bro, what are you doing next?

[halfwaytobedlam]

that escort is insanely beautiful. one day i aspire to achieve this level of build

[ELISHANESFUSIONWORX]

The Escort RS is gorgeous❤️‍🔥🔥
Only reason why I was here😂❤️‍🔥🔥

[Wickit]

You could have told the guy in the brown car that he would have to wait until the guy finished to start his race and he still would have been down.
LMAO. He's just there to drive. Love it
