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.
This VS. Blue?
You better be doing so, maybe a 5.0 Or go full honda boy with like a 2 engine civic 4wd
Dooooo itttttttt babyyyyyyy
Your Hellcat Magnum could be good for this!
J35 swapped AWD EG Civic on E85 & 40psi 💀
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
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
The actual racing is the best part.
@Lucas Blanchard I do wish there was more racing overall too
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.
Just commented the same thing. The banter between everyone was everything. They literally took the comedy out of these 😑
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.
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.
This is for Robs series folks gotta relax, it’s a short one at that just wait….
Bro is commenting on his scam account 💀💀💀
@Forest Spirit lol I didn’t even notice that until now 💀
This f150 would have been a great match up for the track hawk last episode
It would walk the track hawk
@Vinnie460w •••• well see that's the point I would love to see that race 😁
@Reno'sGarage it wouldn't be a race, it would be an absolute decimation.
@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 🤷♂️
@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
Bring back the hoonigan walk arounds. Those were the best part
this
Jack Wrath no its not
@JackWrath488go away
I would skip those every time
@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!!
Just stopped working so I can watch this ... Really enjoying Rob's progress with the 4 rotor. Keep it up guys
I miss the interviews with the racers. That was a main part of the fun
Same don't know why they changed it
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
Same, I don't like this new way
Exactly
The sound of a Quad Rotor is what dreams are made of!
2 rotor > dual rotor
3 rotor > tri rotor
4 rotor > quad rotor
😂 4 rotor audibly sounds better
It sounds like Anakin’s podracer
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
@Mitch Zimmermanyup, saw a bts as a kid where the movie audio engineer showed how he had sampled F1 engine sounds for it
Those 4x4 f150 10 speed are crazy fast 🔥
4x4 not awd
@S E fixed
@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.
Didnt they say it's a Coyote swap supercharged?
@mryang3644 I believe the truck comes stock with a coyote. The fat blower, however, did not :)
Ford should use this truck in an ad campaign. I'm a GMC truck owner but that launch got me questioning myself. 😮
Rob really can’t avoid breaking his car. 🏎️💥
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
Seemed like more of a tuning issue, not necessarily broken.
The car didn't really break, that was just the launch control freaking out, a roll race could've been interesting.
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
I was amazed Dahm’s car lasted the whole last episodes’ races😂
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.
Rob Dahm is always a full sender
Except this time.
Jack Wrath 😂
Expect every time he drives it because it never runs right
@Trollman3555 try and build and tune one yourself ;) atleast it doesn't break axle's etc anymore so that's good
Man almost went through the windshield with that letoff in the first race
Anyone else glad to see bad daddy brad back hanging out at hoonigan again?
🏁Oh yeah let the Dahm Games begin we know he’s gonna send it …all of it 😂🏎
It's good to see us truck guys being represented well!
I wouldn't call winning by default being represented well lmao
@firstfromabove by default? you dont race.
@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 🤷♂️
@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
Just don’t give your truck a douchy name like this one was given.
Dude in the truck wasn’t even wearing a seatbelt going down the track!! 😮
This the comment I was looking for, he really lives his life 1/4 mile at a time lol
I don’t need one bro we full send it on this side lol
doing a life speedrun
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.
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.
@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
Definitely thought you were about say my dad used to tell me stories 22 years ago about how Rob Dahm broke his Lambo.
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 👍
That truck was mad fast. Keep it up guys.
Glad to see the bad daddy himself back on the channel 👍🏻👌🏼
The man, the myth, the Brad is back, lets go!
I loved seeing him there !
two rob dahm 4rotor videos in the same day?
dope.
Where is the other video?
@J.A.R. Family Rob's channel, doing 190mph on the 4 Rotor.
There’s also another one from a fox body
@Michael H. ?? Rob dahm in a fox body??
Rob Dahm's cars would be super cool if they actually ran for more than 20 seconds every other month.
I love that Rob found his way to Hoonigan! 🤣👍🦅
Don’t ever sleep on the 10 speed💀👏🏽
Brad not letting the rotary build boost starting the race like ah madman
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
Dude really tryna explain why he couldn’t beat a work truck 😂😂😂
Yeah please bring back the Hoonigan guys build commentaries, they made you feel like you was in amongst it 👌🏼
Appreciation for the editors, y’all are killing it
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!
5:52 theres a 100% chance the producer delayed this shot until the plane was on low approach 🔥
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
I love how the back window is still broken out from racing the hoonicorn lol. Love this 4-rotor Rob.
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.
Obsessed with Rob's 4 rotor and I love seeing it out to play stay safe guys
Rob being Rob and just having a good time breaking stuff. Makes me excited for future revisions of the 4rotor!
Damn that truck gets out, I’d love to have one of them 5.0 single cabs one day
The trucks launch on the first race was insane!
Rob’s build is so cool but something happens with it 99.9% of the time lol
But Dahm's hood stayed on, so it's a win.
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 Clip-Share.
I knew that Ford wasn't gone be no joke after seeing what Cleets 150 could do!
Good to see Braddy! While not a fan of these modern oversized trucks, man does that truck launch hard
Those trucks are well worth the money. Fast as hell. Need one in my life.
I like how Rob left the window off this time so it does not get broken again... smart!
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! ❤❤
I like these new drivers introductions they're quicker than before 😊
Love the look of the 4 rotor, kinda a mix between show car and those old dtm racecars with massive widebodies
Man I think y’all should do the interviews like before, that was the best part of the fun
Ahhh, sucks to see one go down like that, but that truck was fast af.
Another episode of… “Will Dahms RX7 Break Again?” Sweet!
That Coyote with the 10 speed trans awd is hard to beat!
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.
@ben weston Agree
@ben weston or he would've spun all 4 and still lost
@ben weston yeah right.... that coyote would've still gapped. Everyone sleeps on 10spd coyotes lol
@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
I’m still waiting for the hoonicorn vs Dahm’s 4 rotor!
That RX-7 looks so nice,sober yet imposing!
It sounded like the F150 sandbagged to let Dahm catch up in the first race. He's a player for sure.
Shoulda did a roll! I definitely wanna see more of that rx, 4 rotors sounds so insane
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 😂
That truck is making more than 850 lol...sick launches.
I'm so stoked that we're going to see alot of Rob's 4 rotor 😋
I LOVE this series from Hoonigan. I've been doing friggin backfkips trying to see more driving from Rob
Everyone was just happy Dahms car did so many passes 😂🔥
I like the new format for when the guys talk about their cars. Good stuff as always
Fun series, fun to see Rob and the Hoonigan crew hang. The truck was going, madness, love it.
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
Well that and they rarely put the hoonicorn up against anything competitive whereas with this, alot of things could plausibly beat the 4rotor
@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.
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
this feels like the car version of a final boss fight. just have a bunch of people bring their builds and try to win
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!
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)
Rob as a fellow Michigander I have supported your every decision with ALL your cars and I hope you won every race here 😊
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.
I recall the Hoonicorn did breakdown once while Leah was driving it, but Pastrana's Subie was reliable pass after pass.
Wasn't it the driveshaft? Weren't they able to repair it right away?
Well that Subaru was built basically by a racing division of Subaru, they are pro's at building crazy sh*t like that.
Or, through the magic of video editing, you just didn't see any issues that popped up with the Subaru.
@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.
2 things. Why does Rob break his car every. single. time. and secondly why’d you make Gary how I was crying 🤣
Would be sweet to see this truck again! Hooked up nice off the line
Love coming home from work, doing what I need to, and then chill watching this. Thanks, Team.
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.
The truck scoots...but if Rob EVER gets his car to work right, it'll be a force to recon with.
Coyote for the win! Im glad I bought one. 10 speed is awesome.
Good way to pay homage to the hoonicorn and 43. Love you guys
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...
Sitting between Scotto and Gary, Vin lookin fit.
No shade, Rob Dahm wins the “I’d rather have this vs that” every time.
Getting that monster to launch is crazy. Top end is insane though
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
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
I can’t believe they allowed him to not wear his seatbelt
Rob has the power aspect down, now it's time to work on putting that power down reliably :D
Ohhh so they're doing 'This vs Dahm' as a series? why not Dahm vs plaid? I think we all know this has to end with Lia in the Hoonicorn...
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.
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!
Damn that truck gets outta the hole and scoots!
Good to see Brad around!
Shout out to the hommie for holdin it down for the 805!!
man the 4 rotor sounds so good omg rob dahm is the winner with pure sound
This series is going to be concluded with a Hoonicorn/4 rotor rematch but with Lia driving and it'll be really special. 43ver
Love how homeboy in the truck said screw the gear and sent it 😅
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.
Wtf, I didn’t notice that but that’s sloppy
Wait until you see the driver's reply in the rest of the comments. It ain't a good one.
One day Rob will figure out launching and maybe his kids can get some wins with the 4 rotor.
Dude in the truck just chillin with no seatbelt or any other safety shit. 😂
Sick truck 🤙🏻 always love Mr. Dahm
Why Rob doesn’t go by “Dorito Dahm” is beyond me…
Big Rob fan, and love his frankenrotor journey, but hard to beat a truck that can hustle off the line like that.....phenomenal.
