It gets faster and faster and faster.
Welcome to Hoonicorn versus the world of this versus that special,
where we literally are going to be racing the Hoonicorn versus the world.
Isn't that right? Yes. Drag racing.
So look,
this whole thing came about because when the Hoonigan car pack was released on
Forza, right? People did what they naturally do,
which was not play the game like it was intended,
taking the Hoonicorn and drag racing it. Literally not what it's meant to do.
Even in the game, there wasn't even a drag race mode when this first came out.
So there is that, but there is now, yes.
That's why we're here today because it was like,
what will it do in a straight line? What are we up against Zach?
We got a McLaren Senna back there. We got a four wheel drive trophy truck.
We got the world's fastest donk.
Can the Hoonicorn take it? 1,400 horsepower.
Methanol. Ken.
There you have it. We're racing.
This is the battle of the times. Ford versus Ferrari.
Just a little bit different than maybe Carroll Shelby originally imagined.
Mr. Tony, life of Ferrari. That's right. Not your only Ferrari. Nope.
How many Ferraris do you have? About 15. Nice.
15 Ferraris. Like I have nine cars. You sell them all. I'm not getting one.
I mean, if you're going to be a fan, might as well be a super fan.
I have a Ferrari problem. Yeah. That's a good problem to have. LaFerrari,
LaFerrari Aperta, Sergio. I have an 812 GTS coming, Roma coming,
812 regular, 488 Pista, Spyder.
Can you talk about carcane problems? Yeah, it's like,
Brian's got a certain type of carcane problem. This man has a Ferrari carcane problem.
So what did you bring here for us today? It's the F8 Tributo.
It's the coupe version, obviously. It's in Giallo Modena in a stealth wrap.
700 plus horsepower, 500 plus pounds of torque.
It's just a beast, a badass. And I love it.
Zero to 60 in under three seconds. Is this your fastest Ferrari?
No, the LaFerraris are. So you brought us a budget Ferrari.
I didn't want to, you know, embarrass you too much.
But it's one of the newest ones, right? Yeah, it is. This is a brand new one.
I think this is actually, I like the LaFerrari.
I actually got to drive one in Dubai.
This thing is actually stunningly beautiful. Thanks.
This is what came after the 488 GTB or something?
488 Pista. Yeah. So this is basically a 488 Pista is basically the same car,
different body, uh, tuned a little differently. I drive it daily.
I mean this, I drive it around town and then we just came back from a rally.
So it's a V8 turbo. It's a seven speed sequential paddle shift. Yep.
And it's rear drive only, right? Yep. Full ceramic brakes.
I'm not touching this car.
Is this some sort of peasant joke that I'm too rich to understand?
Yeah, I know. This is all packaged pretty crazy. Yeah.
Well, so it's a twin turbo V8. Same, same, right? Same, same, same, same,
but different.
The crazy thing about like modern supercars is just how fast they actually are.
Like sub three seconds, zero to 60 is insane. Yeah. You know,
like the fact that you can buy that not as a race car. Yeah.
And just no experience driving a car and you can get something that is
unbelievably fast. And daily drive it. And daily, nimble.
I mean this thing through traffic, nimble. I do love the ceramic brakes.
Yeah. Those are sick. Yeah. He's got nice brakes. But you race. Yeah.
Yeah. Good. Got a racer here. Yeah. In a supercar. Yeah.
How do I feel about this? This is monster. This is not, uh,
not as pretty. Not as pretty as my car.
It's beautiful in other ways. Tell me about this. Let's let's pop it.
You got it. We got to look at it. You got to pop the hood.
Just a twin turbo V8. Same, same thing. Same setup. She's a beauty. Yeah.
So it's basically a dirt oval engine.
So the four 10 Roush engine and then twin turbos obviously runs methanol.
So we don't have to run an intercooler.
It makes the packaging way nicer and smaller. Um,
you can see we have inboard suspension and that's really just for the packaging
purposes.
Everything about this car was how do we get the differential to sit in front of
the engine, push the engine back behind the wheels. Um,
and that took a lot of engineering. Um,
actually recently we talked about supercharging the car and we can't do it
because there's actually not enough room to run a belt because of how tight
everything is. So technically you could say this is a mid engine car. It's yeah.
Front mid engine.
And for everyone who doesn't know what Brian is talking about is the front
differentials. This Mustang is actually all wheel drive.
So it also powers the front wheel.
So you have to have a differential in front of the engine.
It's normally behind the engine. I mean, this is your favorite car.
Yes. And probably one of your favorite handling cars too.
Besides the fact that it wants to kill me, it's just fun to drive.
And that's connected to state of a six speed sequential.
So just flipping through the gears, it does have a clutch,
but you only use that to really engage first and that's it. Uh,
power about 1400 horsepower. I don't know what does this thing weigh?
28. Yeah. Roughly 3000 pounds. You know,
what else is really essential is putting the hood pins back in.
We'll get to that. We got to admire these wheels though. First,
cause hurt. This is like a big accomplishment.
They're cool. I can't deny that. They're, they're very cool.
They embody a couple of different designs mashed together and it just works.
It looks like these would look good on just about anything.
So is this like a subtle flex? Like Ken is like not stressed enough.
So he just runs a street tire. These are just triple eight hours.
Although they are really sticky. These are like a lot of people in the drag world.
Definitely run them. Oh yeah. Well, here's the thing. We got three distances.
Yep. You're the guest. So we'll let you choose 500 feet,
thousand feet or 1500 1500. You want to go all the way? Yeah.
The car with a horse on it. I mean, I might have to go with Ferrari.
I'm gonna go with the car built in America. If Ken's car doesn't start.
Ken's going to mop it up.
I'm coming in on the janitor squad with hurt.
I was just going to say I'm team janitor over here.
I'm never going to bet against a unicorn in literally any situation.
All right. Best of three,
but we're going to go to the 1500 foot mark to give the Ferrari a chance.
The next day.
Can we just say that that was a big enough gap for three races.
I think we should give him the roll and pass Ken. Like just go to that right now.
It's about 10 car lengths. 10 car lengths. He needs a 60 roll.
And Ken from a dick.
That is Ford versus Ferrari workout. Yeah.
So it was like a football field. The difference between you guys, if not more,
it was probably, I think they said 10 car lengths.
So I think we're going to give them the role and you leave when he passes you.
So he'll start far back.
He'll pass you at like 30 miles an hour. And then you go.
Was he launching or he'll, yeah,
he'll start behind you and then he'll pass you in his lane. It's pretty quick.
Right now. He's like, I should have brought the law for all. I'm thinking, yeah,
let me get a roll start. I think you get a roll start.
He'll go from the dig once you pass him. Yeah. We're into that.
What do we roll a 60 roll? I say you give him like a 40 roll. All right.
And then, then we hit it. We good on 40. Good. Let's start it there.
So new predictions, right? I think who decor and passes Ferrari by first flag.
I think if he's actually doing a 40 roll, not 60,
then who decor passes him by the water bottle.
I went round.
Get the radar gun. Get the radar gun.
You're like a hundred miles an hour.
No, not when you can't see the car coming.
That being said, he was probably doing 200 miles an hour by the end.
So thank God for those carbon breaks.
That was not 40.
We're going to start you about six car lengths back.
So he passed you doing like 90.
By the way, Enzo Ferrari would be proud.
Cheating while racing is always important. We have a radar gun.
We have a radar gun.
You're losing the race and the keys, the car's mine after that.
Zach's driving it back to Utah. Let's run it back. Run it back.
That thing is a monster.
It gets faster and faster.
How many more switches you got to make that thing faster?
You keep focusing on Skippy, but the laptops right now,
he's the real secret weapon.
That was the best race. That was awesome.
On rev limiter, right?
That was great.
That was a good race.
I saw him come like, I was like ahead and then I saw him.
That was a great race. Yeah. You want to do donuts? Yeah.
That's what's up.
Honestly, really nice donut.
You know, uh, I didn't expect you to know how to do flawless donuts.
That was pretty good. That was pretty good.
That's the way to end an episode.
Thanks Amber. Well, if you've got a faster Ferrari, come talk to us.
It's never been a better time to play Forza Horizon 4 right now.
It has been optimized for Xbox Series X and Series S,
which means greater frame rates, higher resolutions, faster load times,
more fun. And maybe you'll catch me online, driving TryFive by FireRound.
Have fun, play games.
So we've got a really fast Mustang and a really fast factory Mustang.
Should we get 760 horsepower?
