Can ANYONE beat @RobDahm!? His 100% custom 4 rotor engine beat the Hoonicorn and he’s been wrenching hard ever since! Omar’s “work truck” slapped a Whipple supercharger on the Coyote block to move some thick Hoosier slicks and make those Magnaflow pipes sing, but will it be enough??

I feel like I need to build a car JUST for this.

GearnAuto 2 months ago

This VS. Blue?

Daan Tuin 2 months ago

You better be doing so, maybe a 5.0 Or go full honda boy with like a 2 engine civic 4wd

Thomas Ream 2 months ago

Dooooo itttttttt babyyyyyyy

Joe Alex 2 months ago

Your Hellcat Magnum could be good for this!

Sam Teks 2 months ago

J35 swapped AWD EG Civic on E85 & 40psi 💀

Come Fast To Get Into My Body 2 months ago

I love that you guys are back but, I feel like a lot is missing. I think most will agree that we want to see the Hoonigans interviewing the drivers again.

Nathan Evans 2 months ago

I was thinking the same thing. This just feels a little too overproduced for this vs that. I like the chaos that comes from the guys riffing off each other during the live interviews.

Dakota Lenzi 2 months ago

This is for Robs series folks gotta relax, it’s a short one at that just wait….

Forest Spirit 2 months ago

Bro is commenting on his scam account 💀💀💀

Nathan Evans 2 months ago

@Forest Spirit lol I didn’t even notice that until now 💀

Ryan Benedict 2 months ago

Ik these have all been filmed in advance, but bring back the staff interviews in the next shoot. The best part of this show was watching the boys talk about the cars and mess with the guests

dankmac 2 months ago

Agreed this new format ain't it. Also less chances for the editors to put everyone on blast which is one of the best parts of the show

Lucas Blanchard 2 months ago

The actual racing is the best part.

dankmac 2 months ago

@Lucas Blanchard I do wish there was more racing overall too

Kerry Grant 2 months ago

It’s the combo of both. I come here to see guys and the banter they have and the racing is the icing on the cake we can always use more icing.

Berm_Blaster 2 months ago

Just commented the same thing. The banter between everyone was everything. They literally took the comedy out of these 😑

Reno'sGarage 2 months ago

This f150 would have been a great match up for the track hawk last episode

Vinnie460w •••• 2 months ago

It would walk the track hawk

Reno'sGarage 2 months ago

@Vinnie460w •••• well see that's the point I would love to see that race 😁

DumbAss In The Comment Section 2 months ago

@Reno'sGarage it wouldn't be a race, it would be an absolute decimation.

Reno'sGarage 2 months ago

@MrDerpBuilds the track hawk was also only tuned.. if it had the gen 5 whipple that the f150 had installed it probably wouldn't lose 🤷‍♂️

Rerollful 2 months ago

@Reno'sGarage that 10 speed ain’t no joke the trackhawk literally wouldn’t of won the race lol ford outdone themselves with that transmission

Speeding Turnip 2 months ago

I miss the interviews with the racers. That was a main part of the fun

Stn 2 months ago

Same don't know why they changed it

Lee Brock 2 months ago

They are showing more of the negotiations then the interviews about the cars when they shouldnt even be negotiating! lmfao a drag race is a drag race! How far you are going should be the only negotiations lol

Just Why 2 months ago

Same, I don't like this new way

MSA_CS 2 months ago

Exactly

Jonathan S 2 months ago

Ford should use this truck in an ad campaign. I'm a GMC truck owner but that launch got me questioning myself. 😮

thesampson 2 months ago

Bring back the hoonigan walk arounds. Those were the best part

crisDubst43 killer 2 months ago

Jack Wrath no its not

A H 2 months ago

@JackWrath488go away

Aquariums Anonymous 2 months ago

I would skip those every time

A H 2 months ago

@Aquariums Anonymous I always skip to the races, and usually pause on the screen where it used to show the stats of the cars for comparing... I don't have 10 mins to waste watching BS, get to the live action!!

Big Joe S. 2 months ago

Rob really can’t avoid breaking his car. 🏎️💥

AzureCrux 2 months ago

Gotta ride that bleeding edge. As someone doing a 99 cent store version of this, being a designer, engineer, builder, (occasional) fabricator, tuner, AND driver is unbelievably difficult. Dahm will always have my respect for risking it all for the biscuit

OnTheReg 2 months ago

Seemed like more of a tuning issue, not necessarily broken.

Joe Alex 2 months ago

The car didn't really break, that was just the launch control freaking out, a roll race could've been interesting.

Mr Turbo 2 months ago

I feel right now it's more of an it wasn't quite ready thing, like he did one drag race in advance and now instantly went to 4 rotor vs the world, i wouldn't mind if he took a bit more time to really dial everything in, but this is rob and he always got shit to do so dialing his car in probably just doesn't really fit in the schedule yet

Carlos Lopez 2 months ago

Those 4x4 f150 10 speed are crazy fast 🔥

S E 2 months ago

4x4 not awd

Carlos Lopez 2 months ago

@S E fixed

That Man 2 months ago

@Carlos Lopezdid he clarify if he is AWD or actual 4x4? My stock 4x4 f150 5.0 launches like a rocket in 4x4 even in slippery conditions.

Mr Yang 2 months ago

Didnt they say it's a Coyote swap supercharged?

TheBCninja 2 months ago

@mryang3644 I believe the truck comes stock with a coyote. The fat blower, however, did not :)

Anania Harutyunyan 2 months ago

I was amazed Dahm’s car lasted the whole last episodes’ races😂

Shona 2 months ago

It lasted through every episode in this series before this one. These are all filmed in one day and they aren't uploaded in chronological order.

Antonio Absalon Aquino 2 months ago

The sound of a Quad Rotor is what dreams are made of!

NovaRedHead 2 months ago

2 rotor > dual rotor 3 rotor > tri rotor 4 rotor > quad rotor 😂 4 rotor audibly sounds better

Mitch Zimmerman 2 months ago

It sounds like Anakin’s podracer

Machine Spirit Miami 2 months ago

Kinda surprising the V8 was louder than it once they were down the strip. Was hoping to hear more of that sweet sweet high pitch rotary scream

Machine Spirit Miami 2 months ago

@Mitch Zimmermanyup, saw a bts as a kid where the movie audio engineer showed how he had sampled F1 engine sounds for it

crypto redneck 2 months ago

It's good to see us truck guys being represented well!

firstfromabove 2 months ago

I wouldn't call winning by default being represented well lmao

ttocs 2 months ago

@firstfromabove by default? you dont race.

firstfromabove 2 months ago

@ttocs He won because Rob quit on the second race, giving him his second and the overall win. That is the literal definition of winning by default. If you wanna keep pretending you're cool on the internet because you use different terminology or regularly say some F&F family crap about an inch or a mile, go for it lmao. But pretending you know anything about me based on a single mannerism is more telling of you than me 🤷‍♂️

MaSHED T8RS 2 months ago

@firstfromabove A win is a win man. I do wish Rob's 4 Rotor was actually running right though, I actually think it would barely beat the truck

Stu Pidass 2 months ago

Just don’t give your truck a douchy name like this one was given.

Raptor95 2 months ago

Rob Dahm is always a full sender

Phillip Bainbridge 2 months ago

Except this time.

Raz 2 months ago

Jack Wrath 😂

Trollman3555 2 months ago

Expect every time he drives it because it never runs right

Thijs S 2 months ago

@Trollman3555 try and build and tune one yourself ;) atleast it doesn't break axle's etc anymore so that's good

Raymond Toper 2 months ago

Rob breaking his car reminds me of the stories my dad would tell me about his 22 years of drag racing. He broke most of the time his first 5-10 years. Then, once he figured out the problems, he learned to make what he had work, then he started to win most of the time.

Tromp Kramer 2 months ago

If nothing breaks you learn nothing as a builder. Dahm is the ultimate builder, he wants to do everything himself and learn as he goes. And doing all that with a 4rotor that isn't the easy road to take. All other builders have tons of forums and manufacturers that do all the engineering for them. They are just really bolt on boys on steroids. Rob is the ultimate dream builder/tuner.

Raymond Toper 2 months ago

@TrompKramer I agree. That's why I say he reminds me of my dad. My father built his own four link back in the 70s before you could just go buy one. Built his own engines and tuned them before you could just go online or go to a dyno shop and find out the best tune easily. He did his own fabricating. Watching his videos makes me miss my father. Dahm is doing a hell of a job. I love watching his journey

tp7886 2 months ago

Definitely thought you were about say my dad used to tell me stories 22 years ago about how Rob Dahm broke his Lambo.

Seldoon Nemar 2 months ago

I love how Rob has built such a monster, this is what's needed for him to do a propper test and tune. keep up the great work folks 👍

SpeedyDingo 2 months ago

Rob Dahm's cars would be super cool if they actually ran for more than 20 seconds every other month.

Bubba Rinker 2 months ago

Man almost went through the windshield with that letoff in the first race

Nick Martin 2 months ago

The man, the myth, the Brad is back, lets go!

I loved seeing him there !

Dude in the truck wasn’t even wearing a seatbelt going down the track!! 😮

Alex Casas 2 months ago

This the comment I was looking for, he really lives his life 1/4 mile at a time lol

Omar Soto 2 months ago

I don’t need one bro we full send it on this side lol

Zcypot 2 months ago

doing a life speedrun

Daniel Vanderhooft 2 months ago

That truck was mad fast. Keep it up guys.

Degradation_ Month ago

I love how the back window is still broken out from racing the hoonicorn lol. Love this 4-rotor Rob.

PG Matt 2 months ago

Glad to see the bad daddy himself back on the channel 👍🏻👌🏼

Aaron Tanaka 2 months ago

The trucks launch on the first race was insane!

Fast Eddie 2 months ago

🏁Oh yeah let the Dahm Games begin we know he’s gonna send it …all of it 😂🏎

Димитър Димитров 2 months ago

Just stopped working so I can watch this ... Really enjoying Rob's progress with the 4 rotor. Keep it up guys

Rexmundo 2 months ago

shoulda kept working

Димитър Димитров 2 months ago

@Rexmundo I'm actually getting paid while watching this, so it's a win win scenario 🤣

Fred 2 months ago

@Димитър Димитров sigma grindset rule 6969: scam your employer😂😂😂😂 W

B. H. 2 months ago

Rob being Rob and just having a good time breaking stuff. Makes me excited for future revisions of the 4rotor!

inertiaMS 2 months ago

Having the fuel system and winters diff just chilling in the cabin is a level of confidence in parts that is astounding, especially after seeing what can happen to those winters diffs haha

Chiefinreefer ! 2 months ago

I love that Rob found his way to Hoonigan! 🤣👍🦅

Couple Of Games 2 months ago

Appreciation for the editors, y’all are killing it

Post-nut Clarity 2 months ago

two rob dahm 4rotor videos in the same day? dope.

J.A.R. Family 2 months ago

Where is the other video?

Joe Alex 2 months ago

@J.A.R. Family Rob's channel, doing 190mph on the 4 Rotor.

Michael H. 2 months ago

There’s also another one from a fox body

Tromp Kramer 2 months ago

@Michael H. ?? Rob dahm in a fox body??

Tedi47 2 months ago

Good to see Braddy! While not a fan of these modern oversized trucks, man does that truck launch hard

LatrineDVeen 2 months ago

Obsessed with Rob's 4 rotor and I love seeing it out to play stay safe guys

Darío 2 months ago

Rob damhs car keeps giving me WIP vibes, and i dont think it can handle way to many races. But im super proud of how far he has come and wish him all the good stuff.

Pastor Martinez 2 months ago

I’m still waiting for the hoonicorn vs Dahm’s 4 rotor! That RX-7 looks so nice,sober yet imposing!

ZSTRODE. 2 months ago

Anything ford with a blower I love! ❤ Also I love Rob is getting the traction he really deserves dude is a go getter! I've been watching this build for years I'm glad I'm witnessing it race now! ❤❤

Silverado Scott 2 months ago

Those trucks are well worth the money. Fast as hell. Need one in my life.

WhatTheFup 2 months ago

Fun series, fun to see Rob and the Hoonigan crew hang. The truck was going, madness, love it.

T Von 2 months ago

Damn that truck gets out, I’d love to have one of them 5.0 single cabs one day

Jim P 2 months ago

Anyone else glad to see bad daddy brad back hanging out at hoonigan again?

rasta from far 2 months ago

Brad not letting the rotary build boost starting the race like ah madman

Tim Randazzo 2 months ago

brad is a bit quick forsure came here for this comment lol. rob does state he is having issue with his launch control; so regardless wasn't going to be a good launch

bule bb 2 months ago

I like these new drivers introductions they're quicker than before 😊

Rocco .mbb. Zoccoli 2 months ago

Rob is so cool, so humble.. not the way we wanted to see this one go but mad respect to all these monster ef-Jauns out there!

402 SHO 2 months ago

Don’t ever sleep on the 10 speed💀👏🏽

Matt K 2 months ago

Love the look of the 4 rotor, kinda a mix between show car and those old dtm racecars with massive widebodies

rando awesome mix 2 months ago

I LOVE this series from Hoonigan. I've been doing friggin backfkips trying to see more driving from Rob

Yazan Salloum 2 months ago

There's something about this series that feels a bit better than Hoonicorn vs. The World. The Hoonicorn felt like it was always ready to race, with no problems arising most of the time. With the 4 rotor however we get to see just how many things can (and will) go wrong, along with how much time it takes dialing in a car of that caliber

JT 2 months ago

Well that and they rarely put the hoonicorn up against anything competitive whereas with this, alot of things could plausibly beat the 4rotor

Tromp Kramer 2 months ago

@JT if the car becomes to dialed in. I bet i will be incredibly hard to beat. The journey for rob going faster and faster reliable is just started.

Zak Shah Month ago

Yeah, the Hoonicorn was only really challenged by other no-prep racers like that R35 GTR that beat Lia. They've had full on drag race cars on no-prep surfaces, and surprise surprise, they didn't do as good. Plus, the Hoonicorn has the R&D behind it that comes with millions of dollars. Rob has....himself

Grady Browning 2 months ago

That Coyote with the 10 speed trans awd is hard to beat!

ben weston 2 months ago

That truck rips but if rob had his LC working right we would have walked it, so much faster top end. The cinder block aero really hurts the truck at speed.

Grady Browning 2 months ago

@ben weston Agree

Kelvin Deleon 2 months ago

@ben weston or he would've spun all 4 and still lost

Obey Happy 2 months ago

@ben weston yeah right.... that coyote would've still gapped. Everyone sleeps on 10spd coyotes lol

BC 2 months ago

@ben weston 100% sure that car was all out on the first run he knew he wasn’t catching him on the second and let off I call Bull on the issues

Torey Weaver Month ago

5:52 theres a 100% chance the producer delayed this shot until the plane was on low approach 🔥

Chris 2 months ago

Yeah please bring back the Hoonigan guys build commentaries, they made you feel like you was in amongst it 👌🏼

That Guy 2 months ago

Listen, he could lose every race and I'm just here for those beautiful rotary sounds and to support one of the most genuine people in all of automotive RU-vid.

Roy Liber Month ago

That F150 is absolutely mental. Never saw a "street" track launch this hard my entire life! This is the definition of a sleeper truck for sure.

G M 2 months ago

Shoulda did a roll! I definitely wanna see more of that rx, 4 rotors sounds so insane

Riley Gally 2 months ago

Would be sweet to see this truck again! Hooked up nice off the line

j henry 2 months ago

Been following the RX-7 a while,love it!sounds like you also have to be a pilot,not just a driver.you are mad buisey in that ,you don't drive fast,just fly low!

Dr. Strange 2 months ago

That truck is making more than 850 lol...sick launches.

Hans Hompes 2 months ago

I'm so stoked that we're going to see alot of Rob's 4 rotor 😋

Mark Notley 2 months ago

Ahhh, sucks to see one go down like that, but that truck was fast af.

Adult Entertainment 2 months ago

Love coming home from work, doing what I need to, and then chill watching this. Thanks, Team.

Culinary Physics 2 months ago

This race between the 850hp F-150 and Rob Dahm’s one-of-a-kind 4-Rotor RX-7 is insane! Both cars are absolute beasts and it’s amazing to see them go head-to-head.

Cody Boudreau 2 months ago

Everyone was just happy Dahms car did so many passes 😂🔥

busslayer 2 months ago

It sounded like the F150 sandbagged to let Dahm catch up in the first race. He's a player for sure.

xanzar21 2 months ago

I'm pretty certain the wing played a role in this; but I'm also pretty certain the team had set the wing up for low downforce before the run.

kirklandracing 2 months ago

Coyote for the win! Im glad I bought one. 10 speed is awesome.

mkusanagi 2 months ago

I like the new format for when the guys talk about their cars. Good stuff as always

Marc McCumber 2 months ago

Rob as a fellow Michigander I have supported your every decision with ALL your cars and I hope you won every race here 😊

Terrell Spivey 2 months ago

I knew that Ford wasn't gone be no joke after seeing what Cleets 150 could do!

paul walkert 2 months ago

I recall the Hoonicorn did breakdown once while Leah was driving it, but Pastrana's Subie was reliable pass after pass.

Jonathan Allen 2 months ago

Wasn't it the driveshaft? Weren't they able to repair it right away?

Joe Alex 2 months ago

Well that Subaru was built basically by a racing division of Subaru, they are pro's at building crazy sh*t like that.

firstfromabove 2 months ago

Or, through the magic of video editing, you just didn't see any issues that popped up with the Subaru.

Shona 2 months ago

@firstfromabove Yeah Rob also said that while they were filming these he had an issue with the launch (I'm assuming this is the issue he was talking about) and Hoonigan didn't film him anything of him figuring out the problem or fixing it.

Fishua 2 months ago

I like how Rob left the window off this time so it does not get broken again... smart!

Christian Graham 2 months ago

Another episode of… “Will Dahms RX7 Break Again?” Sweet!

Luke Brennan 2 months ago

Rob knows that he's got the monster power. He just needs to give himself a day to get the thing actually dialled-in instead of driving from the shed to the track with no testing!

Zcypot 2 months ago

Getting that monster to launch is crazy. Top end is insane though

Aaron Hooten 2 months ago

Sick truck 🤙🏻 always love Mr. Dahm

Eddie 2 months ago

I saw the 4 rotor at the Hondo airstrip attack and it's wild in person lol, sounds like a bike reving at 13k+ rpm lol

JDub 2 months ago

this feels like the car version of a final boss fight. just have a bunch of people bring their builds and try to win

Greg Roles 2 months ago

Big Rob fan, and love his frankenrotor journey, but hard to beat a truck that can hustle off the line like that.....phenomenal.

Henry Jackson IFBB Pro Bodybuilder 2 months ago

Rob’s build is so cool but something happens with it 99.9% of the time lol

Josh Nama 2 months ago

Good way to pay homage to the hoonicorn and 43. Love you guys

yfarmeaahka 2 months ago

Not going to lie, I would love to see more of these f150’s bare bones awd with the 3.5 ecoboost having the same amount of money but into them as the 5.0 to see if it’s still viable. I think people are sleeping on the 3.5 to be honest.

Corey21 2 months ago

Did anyone else notice that at 7:01 Hoonigan literally let this guy race with out even wearing a seat belt or harness. What the hell. They are so lucky he did not crash.

Rob Boss 2 months ago

Wtf, I didn’t notice that but that’s sloppy

AJ 2 months ago

Wait until you see the driver's reply in the rest of the comments. It ain't a good one.

A Z 2 months ago

The new season is awesome but I really enjoyed watching the crew interact with the owners of the builts, I feel like this is missing here.

Zenzu 2 months ago

Rob is a mad scientist, I love it, what a car but I gotta give props to other dude too cause that is definitely one of the fastest trucks I’ve ever seen, holy shit

KILO_VLOGZ 2 months ago

Dude really tryna explain why he couldn’t beat a work truck 😂😂😂

my31and37 2 months ago

The truck scoots...but if Rob EVER gets his car to work right, it'll be a force to recon with.

NosLaser Month ago

It would be fun to run my RX7 against that 4 rotor. I don't think Rob would like the outcome, but he's a good dude an it would be fun nonetheless.

Gage Schroeder 2 months ago

So glad Brad is back. Good to see him doing well.

Gage Schroeder 2 months ago

Doubt it.

Ben Runge 2 months ago

Bring back the interviews with all the bois, as cool as the one on one is with the driver I can’t help but feel like something is missing (it’s the boys that are missing)

UncleManuel 2 months ago

It hurts a bit to see the toothing problems of the 4-rotor RX-7. Because WHEN it works its on par with the Hoonicorn (on methanol). When Rob sorts out the issues (tuning of the engine + e-wastegate + AWD system, boost leaks, driveshafts noping out) Hoonigan has to invite him for a second round of TvD... 😎🤟

Slavche 2 months ago

Don't give up Rob!! great race both y'all, but keep goin Rob, 4k start is WAYY out your launch zone.. either fix that launch 19/20 times. OR go 6,5- 7k START manual. dunno.

mr caves 2 months ago

is it just me but I miss the team listening to the drivers talk about there car and being either impressed or calling some b.s. it was the only reason I watched the whole video. but happy to have new videos of this. that rx-7 has tons of potential you can hear wanting to do more, rob is doing a great job. You can do it!

Joe L 2 months ago

Up next on This Vs Dahm: Dahm’s Mazda doesn’t break during the races. Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part 😂

Gitsum 2 months ago

Damn that truck gets outta the hole and scoots!

konrad Month ago

Rob has the power aspect down, now it's time to work on putting that power down reliably :D

CrJediKnight 2 months ago

7:45 that sound of Rob driving back is one of the sexiest car notes I have ever heard! Almost sounds like something out of Star Wars. Great video...

Erick Garcia 2 months ago

Man I think y’all should do the interviews like before, that was the best part of the fun

Whisper Mason 2 months ago

One day Rob will figure out launching and maybe his kids can get some wins with the 4 rotor.

Oliver Castillo 2 months ago

Should've done a bonus roll race just for fun

Scotty Bang Bang 2 months ago

Rob Dahn probs has the best modified rx7 in the world 🔥🔥🔥

Christopher Dawson 2 months ago

Every time I watch this RX7 race something breaks or there is an issue but I still watch another race and the same thing happens. I honestly feel like Charlie Brown expecting Lucy to hold the football and not pull it away at the last second, but it still happens…
