Ken Block vs Rob Dahm!? 1,240hp 4 Rotor AWD RX-7 is our Wildest Battle Yet // Hoonicorn vs The World

  • Опубликовано: 25 май 2024
  • A race 6 years in the making! When Rob Dahm first saw the Hoonicorn launched in 2014, he knew one thing for sure: he needed that same kind of insane project in his life. Measuring pixel by Instagram pixel, and a few phone calls posing as a Hoonigan employee (thanks, Rob), he went down a path of no return to build the wildest FD RX-7 ever. Four rotors, AWD, a giant turbo, sequential transmission, and a whole lot of learning leads up to this very race: up against the car that inspired him to begin with.

      When I saw his video the other day putting in the hood pins I knew it wouldn’t hold. Those style latches look nice, but aren’t very secure. And with only 2 of them once the hood flexes they’ll release.
      Should have 4 across the front and probably 2 more on each side. And either the old school style with the clips or the flush mount ones with the lever that locks them. Those button pop up style latches just don’t hold when under high load and things flexing.

    Mad respect for you, Rob! I can tell that you put your heart and soul into building that car. I love that you reverse engineered part sizing by counting pixels in a CAD image. As a machinist, I've actually had to do that before for a customer who didn't have a clue how to produce a mechanical drawing of his part. The drawing was missing so many critical dimensions that I had to resort to finding them based on the known dimensions, and pictures of the prototype assembly.

      That's actually what it supposed to sound like it has 4 Rotors each rotor fires 3 times so 4x3=12 a v12 has 12 cylinders fires once every rotation so 12x1=12 times so should sound identical.

      I mean, he actually got a lot of "sponsorships", garret gave a prototype turbo if I recall correctly, probably valvoline too and for sure some other I don't remember, true, it's not a true "sponsor" but still

      @@michaelgomez4994making a pure lap-speed comparison at le mans is ultimately meaningless. endurance racing isn't about lap-per-lap speed, it's about reliability. An F1 car would certainly be faster than a GT3 car around Le Mans...but it would break before ever finishing and lose to the GT3s by a country mile, not to mention have to pit for fuel every 2-3 laps.
      The only problem the 787B ran into in 1991 was a dead headlight and an overheating (but not failed) rear wheel bearing, meanwhile, the C11s (*not* C9s, the 787B never raced the C9, just the 787A) had multiple issues, including a spin, gearbox problem, other undisclosed mechanical problems, and also had to moderate its pace by conserving fuel -- a slowing factor that the 787B did not have, since it was efficient enough that fuel consumption didn't really matter.

    i wanna see this race again because now you fully finished and dialed everthing in so if hoonigan makes a V3 of this series you NEED to comeback but so awesome to see the inspirational car and a fully project go head to head is so sick and i love the 4 rotor so so much. choosing between these cars as a favorite is like picking your favorite child
