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car had done was on the show, the launch control wasnt set up properly, again tested on the show, the tyres were way out of date, yada yad yada, lots of excuses, but, ask yourself, if you were given this once in a lifetime would you say no?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
Considering the escorts only just been built, you’ve done no proper miles in It let alone launches and drag races! And you were up against some serious race cars. I think you did a blinding job mate. Haters are always going to hate. You’ve build a stonking car and you’re not afraid to use it! That’s a win in my book! 🙌 great content as always @hoonigan
That car is gorgeous and it was obvious from your decision to keep racing that you wanted to have fun and enjoy the car. A lot of the negativity on these videos is unwarranted most of the time and people don't realize the work it takes to make this type of content.
They must have offset the schedule by a week because no one would ever schedule high HP vs low HP this many weeks in a row intentionally, surely they meant to alternate high and low HP week to week and not lane to lane lol
Escort driver commented above, his matchup broke down before the race and the Evo's matchup broke down before the race. They made a race with what was there.
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 !

To my understanding Santa Pod is the only 1/4 mile drag strip in the entirety of the U.K. I think it's safe to say drag racing is not quite as common or popular as it is in the U.S so finding matchups for this vs that may be more challenging in the u.k.

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.
If the driver could figure out how to launch and not just spin all of first, he might be able to shave some time. But he’s just laying in it like it’s magically gonna hook
Even though the escort was way out matched and lost every race by a mile its still one of the coolest cars ive seen on here in a while.its the only reason i watched this one. Unfortunately i went from watching every hoonigan video ever to probably 1 a month
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

He’s a champ for staying in the race and ringing that beautiful masterpiece to the show I do love the evo and that dangerous car doing wheelies 😂 but the Ford is a masterpiece
Come back to the states and run some decent races again for the love of god.. this channel was once my daily go-to for content and I barely make it thru a full vid now.. 😢
The escort is an unreal build. Everyone knows a evo is impressive. The escort still had a lot more to give. I'm guessing 400hp, in a escort is hard to tame and takes lots of skill to learn to launch. At least the escort didn't have a breakdowns.
14 seconds with 400 HP and no weight? What happened to that Escort? My 1997 pickup is faster than that and its less than 400hp Im just kinda blown away. Cool looking car though.
@@gmain1977 You know what im talking about then. Its a cool car for sure (the escort) but I was just shocked at how slow it is. On a side note, you must have a fun 95 trans am thats for sure.
He beat him by 5 seconds… so you let that slow show car go, wait 5 seconds…. And send the damn other one. Make it fucking interesting and entertaining!! Love you guys
So many comments complaining the 1978 Ford VS the EVO was not a fair fight... but on paper it doesn't seems too off. The Ford has more than half the HP of the Evo but has almost half the weight. The biggest difference was RWD VS AWD. But i feel like the reason the Ford lost this bad was because it was not capable to put the power on the ground. I'm sure if he had sticky drag tires he would have gotten a much better launch. TLDR, not Hoonigan's bad choice, the ford just could grip the launch. Good to see you had fun brainlessfish ;) Have a good day :D
I used to look forward to watching this every Monday on lunch and now it's more of an after thought. That cool you bring a 400 hp show car then why not a 400hp cheap garage build not a 700hp awd car.
Sheesh that last race the brown car took off like a bat out of hell even though it wasnt the fairest (orange car is for show not performance obv) I loved watching these races
Hey Hoonigan, my buddy wants to race his tesla plaid against a tesla model 3. That's a fair race for the model 3 driver, right. Of course you think it's fair, who TF is doing these match ups? 😂😂 99% of the commentors can match up better races. Unless no one wants to be on the show anymore, which actually makes sense...
High 14's quarter mile would barely be a match against a stock Toyota Camry. Bring back the Hoonicorn vs. everything. Badass, not only because it was nearly unbeatable in a heads-up race, it was also reliable. Granted, the buid cost was likely in excess of one million dollars.

Who cares about the outcome, that Escort was such an awesome build! Wicked car mate, love it
WHO SETS THESE RACES UP? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
hoonigan died a long time ago
fr tho, what kind of joke are those races lately
They must have offset the schedule by a week because no one would ever schedule high HP vs low HP this many weeks in a row intentionally, surely they meant to alternate high and low HP week to week and not lane to lane lol
@@pavelack DOESN'T TAKE HOONIGAN TO SET UP A DECENT RACE. LET AI SET THEM UP FROM NOW ON.

My thoughts exactly. There is almost no driving left in these videos and the quality has went downhill.
Agreed. Wheelpros, what is wrong with you?! Do all you care about is money and selling crap?! Go trash a wannabe company!
Saddest part is that Gary and Micah would be still be able to carry this channel, they just need to be let run free with it
Ahh yes, only 75% MORE horsepower AND AWD this time for the winner. Well done.
and it "broke"!
Show me where the Evo Hurt you.
@@brandenjones192I don't believe op was dissing the Evo as much as the match makers

Check pinned comment
So tired of these one sided match ups.. do better hoonigan!
EXACTLY. LET AI CHOOSE THE RACES OR SOMETHING. THIS IS AZZZ😂😂😂😂
Hoonigan has been dead bro ... This is the only thing I watch because this is the ONLY thing they post 😑🤦🏽
Honestly Ken was the only one holding the channel he was the one that did interesting stuff
we can all thank wheel pros... I would NOT buy a wheel from any of the lines they carry

That escort is absolutely fucking beautiful
The crash and burn of Hoonigan will be studied one day in history classes 😂
400hp rwd VS higher HP AWD in tiny cars. Definitely fair.
that MK2 won in my heart!
Agreed they should pick better match ups
That ford is the cleanest build I've seen in a cool while. Tastefully done.
Every Hoonigan video " here we have it a 1200hp Nascar vs my John Deer Riding Mower" "wow... now that's a race!"
Escort driver commented above, his matchup broke down before the race and the Evo's matchup broke down before the race.

*Deere
They should change the Hoonigans RUclips channel’s name to “ This vs That” 😂smh that’s all they put out now
THANK YOU!!!!! I swear I was the only person feeling that way since everyone left!!!This has to come to an end sadly.This channel is DEAD!!!!
In their defense, it takes time to create new things
@@flameninja00 it’s been almost a year
@@estevanL76 not defending it, just pointing that out
That’s where the views came from when they actually had good match ups and the actual hoonigan team. Now Micah and Gary are cringly holding it down
That bonus round wheelie.... Wooo boy!
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.
I'm worried about this channel. Gary? Bro, what are you doing next?
Love Mk1and Mk2 Escorts
LETS GO!! 🏁 THANKS AGAIN FOR HAVING ME 🙌🏽
👑👑
guwarnnn babbi
you actually enjoy these cheesy matchups? weird
@@johnarchibald3451 pays the bills haha😂
sellout
No chance in a million years that Escort has 400bhp, 14 second quarters are 200bhp territory in a car of that weight.
Right on. Last century I was trapping 102-103 with 200 whp in a 2400 lbs Honda.
If the driver could figure out how to launch and not just spin all of first, he might be able to shave some time. But he’s just laying in it like it’s magically gonna hook
I sadi that above ..my BONE STOCK 97 ACCORD SIR which has an auto can trap 17 seconds at 99 would whoop this cars AZZ
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
Sam’s evo is a beast ain’t it bro ❤
that escort is insanely beautiful. one day i aspire to achieve this level of build
Freddy did the introduction whahhhh? Noice mate 👍🏼
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"
Last race 😮 Cortina is like 'where you goin little bruv?'
The Escort RS is gorgeous❤️🔥🔥
Only reason why I was here😂❤️🔥🔥
A wheeling cortina? That's a win all round in my book
Even though the escort was way out matched and lost every race by a mile its still one of the coolest cars ive seen on here in a while.its the only reason i watched this one. Unfortunately i went from watching every hoonigan video ever to probably 1 a month
Lunch time crew where you at
Former lunch squaddie only showing up for the comments now
Ayyyy just sat down with my food 😂
Yurrr
I’m watching this in the stall of the gas station 😂 there’s a line of feet waiting for me
Right here
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
*All these races & they haven't had **_DMO Jay_** yet?!*
Bro is popping wheelies in a r107, legit legend.
Classic case of all show, no go.
You are wrong. The escort is a road course car. It has plenty of go but it's on the wrong show.
@@c0c0asauce You call 14s in the quarter plenty of go??? My high school car 50 years ago turned 13's bone stock. 😂🤣😅
new meaning to ghost shifting in that escort😂😂
Man this channel I swear. Way down hill. Gary himself is holding it down with the help of OG
Awesome. Love the UK stuff, beats the hell outa U.S stuff, more please!! 🇬🇧
Mental to think that's 400whp and runs slower than my 160hp fwd metro 🤔. Interesting to see some rolls for the mexico
Last race 😮 One of the funnest and best races Ive ever seen, well done chaps 🤠🎉🫶🏻
The match ups just ain’t worth a damn these days fellas which sucks, I always look forward to your content.
Escort driver commented above, his matchup broke down before the race and the Evo's matchup broke down before the race.
They made a race with what was there.
that ford cortina is a menace!
that escort is the definition of all show and no go
he didnt ruined it...that escort looks beautiful with that orange and cf bits
16:10 the drive by sound 😮💨
He’s a champ for staying in the race and ringing that beautiful masterpiece to the show I do love the evo and that dangerous car doing wheelies 😂 but the Ford is a masterpiece
AWD 800+ hp modern build, vs. ~400hp RWD street racer… sigh
That Escort is one of the nicest cars I've ever seen, don't even care who won!
The wheel stand was magical 😊
Shout out to the beatmaker for this show. You need a raise dude
The last chase down 😂 he was coming for him with that wheelie
What a day out amazing cars all round thanks for an amazing time @hoonigan
yoooooooo that wheele was sick
That Escort is fricken awesome!
Come back to the states and run some decent races again for the love of god.. this channel was once my daily go-to for content and I barely make it thru a full vid now.. 😢
14:11 just big chilling 😂😭 the setup is nice
offwhite on the mesh is and LV pedal assembly is amazing!
I nominate the editor for an Oscar for zooming in on that sequential shifter.
3:04 of course they play the ODG clip since it was the most badass moment!
Maybe could try get a fair match up both these were ridiculous
I could watch that Cortina run all day. Bonkers!
I love these match ups..!!! LETS GO ..!!! 🎉
does the guy in the orange car have a license?

How bout it! My 350hp full weight s10 runs high 12s - low 13s!
A bone stock accord is 14.1 🤔
My fiesta only has 260bhp,full interior and normal Goodyear road tyres and I run 14.3,I’m shocked at that escort
My 95 Trans Am with 300hp with 300kg more in weight ran 13.9
@@gmain1977 You know what im talking about then. Its a cool car for sure (the escort) but I was just shocked at how slow it is. On a side note, you must have a fun 95 trans am thats for sure.
Idc who won. That Escort wins my heart.
the off-white window cover is hard
He beat him by 5 seconds… so you let that slow show car go, wait 5 seconds…. And send the damn other one. Make it fucking interesting and entertaining!! Love you guys

Still fun to watch!
Woot! JAMIE came to USA! Nice! Great race!
I am just glad I got to see that awesome Escort 😍
This channel is toast. RIP hoonigan
Finally a good batch of cars
0:13 Love you Micah, but know we only here for Hoonigan as long as it's free 🫡
This video is the best illustration of Being back to your ex, you already know the end
Next match is dude on skateboard versus dodge viper with a jet engine strapped to its rear. Totally fair match up
Sheesh that last race the brown car took off like a bat out of hell even though it wasnt the fairest (orange car is for show not performance obv) I loved watching these races
Not going to lie I love these uk cars. Them boys came to race.
Funny thing is that when they were in LA, a bunch of us wanted to bring our AMG's out to run but never heard back from them. 😂
Finally evo video 😌🔥⚡
I’m a evo fan, but I’m here for that escort !!
This a funny episode with the "a new foe has appeared" 😆😆😆
The guy on the orange car
Nice build
He didn't even wanted to Max out he's car
These videos need a description so we can share them on our website.
Wow what a fair race
No one ever complained this hard when they went to australia and races were set up by Andrew 😂😂
Good content. Second round negotiations are ridiculous every episode
tuned in. skipped to the first drag race. saw an abysmal launch and total domination. paused the video. left this comment. and I'm leaving now
Remember when the match ups were.. matched. Pepperidge farm remembers.
I would have thought that MKii would have been a 12sec car off the rip... It may look the part but thats about it.
Badderbuilt STI needs a showing
The Cortina is a real
Pro -Street meaning street legal with Drag look and performance
Sick to see Jamie on the channel
That looks like my old evo.
My number plates were… ’MTN RUN’
