How do you feel about an electric future?
not too bad
Race cleetus and his mullet elco
Can I be apart of this film crew? Lol
Mixed
It feels 💩
not sure how to feel about the fact that to beat a Tesla Model S Plaid, you need something like Ken's 1400hp AWD Mustang LMAO 😭😂😂
deep down inside me, i just really want it to be easier to whoop a Plaid... yet i still really like them :D
Yes because is a car with 1020hp?
🤣🤣
The only thing you need to beat a Tesla is a combustion engine. Because silence = boring
Indeed, a pure purpose built race car which weighs over 50% less and has 40% more hp vs a 4dr completely stock st tires family sedan which is the safest&quickest car sold in its segment. The race went exactly how I figured it would. Also lia is a hot shoe no doubt. 👍🏻
This was a great matchup, the silent Tesla means I got to hear only the Hoonicorn.
So yet again you get a car with less power and weighs well over 1000lbs more i wonder who will win
BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAA BWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAA BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA BWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BBWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@@manilove2pwn to be fair, the Tesla is a practical STOCK grocery getter. The Hoonicorn is decked out but it doesn’t even have AC 😅
They have to bring the rimac.
Mechanical grip is a product of the normal force, which is derived from weight. Weighing 1000 more could help in the traction battle! @manilove2pwn

It drove me nuts that NO ONE called out the dude for jumping the line EXCEPT LIA! You got it, Lia! Awesome driving!
Chase is a race
It's pretty clear they don't have a professional dragstrip when they're running heads up, no lights or line at the start and it's 500 feet. I wish this was on a real drag strip but it was still fun to watch.
Because rules are rules. Lol. First time watching?
I've seen her jump repeatedly and laugh when people call her on it. Chase is a race, for both sides.
If you chase it’s a race.
I've seen that mustang race dozens of times and literally every time I see it blast down the track I go "damn that thing is fast" every single time.
its like unbelievable every time.....why is it soo fast!
I know right, amazed every time. 10:13 is just incredible.
99/100 times i say that. That one time i didn't, it blew some shit up. Best and craziest car ever. It's no wonder that's It's one of the most famous and loved cars in the world. Who wouldn't want to own that BEAST 😍😍 the best thing is in the previous season it didn't even run on all cilinders, and it still was unbelievable fast. Just, "DAMN that thing is f*cking FAST!!"
Whats the 1/4 mile time of that thing?
@@rickyism1576 They said in the video that it's never officially done a 1/4 mile time.
This season is waaaaay more entertaining than the original. She is absolutely killing it.
Nice to see some fast cars instead of a bunch of Buicks.
I think the fact that Lia isn't 100% with the car makes it more interesting too. Obviously she's got it down fkn insanely well to even be able to launch it let alone stay in a straight line, but Ken has that thing so dialled that there's never any errors, he just fkn unleashes 100% every run 😂
didnt you like subaru in every episode?
she bad tho
Lia is light and has quick reflexes. Pretty much unbeatable.
that a STREET SEDAN running against top modified race cars--is even close is mind blowing
R.I.P. Ken. You brought so much to the sport. Thanks for everything.
Considering the Tesla weighs 1750 lbs more and is completely stock, I think it did really well.
except you can’t mod a Tesla lmao
@@hewmungust672 you can
@@hewmungust672 yeah, you totally can
@@hewmungust672 Weight reduction.
@@TheRickyH Also the Plaid has traction control, so even though you don't see it, it's pulling power out constantly down the strip, just way less dramatically than the stang. If you were being serious about plaid running gear, you're right, drop a bunch of weight, then up the traction. There's a lot of power not being utilised even in boring looking runs.
Honestly, the Plaid losing a CLOSE race with the Hoonicorn is more impressive than beating all of the supercars. The Hoonicorn is INSANE.
The hoonicorn is a joke... It spins 3/4 of the way down the track on every single run and still beat that pile of shit.. Imagine what it would do if they actually made it hook up.. like an actual race car and not a drift toy. People apparently think these slot cars are an automatic pay to win and if they get one their like some kind of world champion at racing and it doesn't work like that. There's always going to be some guy in his garage that actually knows what their doing and that'll be the end of that at least in power and speed..
and you gotta take into account anyone can go out and buy one of these things for $160,000 canadian... lol
@@adamguzzo94 Ironically, if they could make it hook, it would probably...not work. Like, just break, all the time.
@@adamguzzo94 you said it there, it's a drift car and still is insane lol
@@NaruSanavai I don't understand why it would break all the time if it hooked? There are awd drag cars with more power than it's got so even if parts had to be changed out it wouldn't be hard, especially not with ken block's budget. But again it doesn't really matter because it's a terrible drag car and it still won.
I'm going to really miss Ken! I hope Lia carries on his awesome legacy... 😪
i hope she does whatever she likes
@@jozero_hero I wouldnt be surprised if she wants to carry on the Legacy. but yeah everyone has a choice
@@kovy689tf you mean illegal 😂 If it was illegal she wouldn’t have been allowed to participate in any of the races she ever participated in. Sure you may not legally be allowed to drive on the road until you get a learners at 15 but the same rules don’t apply for racing.
@@kovy689 you can do whatever you want on private property.
I’ve been in the plaid a few times and once with drag mode on. The part that is hard to fathom is that it’s hard to chirp the tires let alone break loose. That alone is hard to beat. It puts everything down without waisted energy. And that is on almost any surface even with a dirty back alley road.
Yea the traction control is insane on the Tesla's. Wonder if it would be any faster on semi-slicks like the Hoonicorn is.
@@navithefairy The tires won't make much of a difference here it's not really the traction of the tires limiting that Tesla. It's the computer "slowly" ramping up the power. The insane instant torque on those things unless limited would snap CV shafts or strip the spines on them. Not to mention the aluminum subframe that the drive unit mounts to is subjected to insane amounts of torque.
the brakes begin to lose stopping distance after they heat up so racing for long periods of time is dangerous.
@@navithefairy There are some good engineering videos on it. It will definitely be faster on slicks. The TC can respond so insanely fast because they are electromotors, very easy and instant to control. The Tesla TC is BETTER than any ABS on the market, hence the completely counter-intuitive fact that it can actually accelerate faster than it can brake. This isn't due to the brakes being shit (they are not good for repeated use such as track, but they are good for regular driving and stopping the car), it's completely due to the TC responding faster and more accurately than the ABS.
Torque vectoring tech on electric motors is leaps and bounds ahead than that of combustion engines
The tough part is buying her her first car. After racing the Hoonicorn for 2 years anything she gets will seem like lawnmower
Driving on public roads is quite different to tracks and closed off circuits, but I agree, going from a sequential 1400hp Mustang to a 320k mile '98 Toyota Camry would be like quitting crack and going vegan at once.
Her dad is ken block.. her first car gonna have turbos sticking out the hood.
Just imagine her driver's test.
@@premonemo ken block isnt gonna put her in a camry with 300k miles, man is literally sponsored by more than one car company😂
the fact she already races rally besides this hoonicorn project means she has more than enough car experience. So, given the sponsors lining up for her she'll end up with something we all dream of. Maybe just like her dad, a nice daily driver audi. I think she likes the petrol cars more then electric, so a rs5 or rs3 is a great car to daily.
I can hardly imagine handling the hoonicorn as an adult. It's crazy to see a 14 year old absolutely slaying it. Lia has a bright future as a driver for sure.
The amount of trust there is insane. But it is also his daughter, doubt we'd see him let hert behind the wheel like that 😂
Please don’t get pregnant early.
They had her drive a shit load of other cars before she was put behind the wheel of this beast. She has more driving skills than I'd bet most people in these comments. lol Plus, You know Block trusts her saying he's never really let another person drive this car before.
@@MatzeMaulwurf fucking what mate
@@uwot9021 I hope she will have good career as a race girl. So having fun with the boys is ok but it would be a big lost if she gets pregnant with 16…18 and we would loose her to the kitchen stove.
It would be interesting to see a Rimac Nevera drag race against an AWD Mustang // Hoonicorn.
Nevera is faster, but yes, it would be fun, especially roll race. What i would like to see is mcmurtry vs those 2000hp audis or gtrs that smoked hoonicorn
Rimac gets smoked by the red Silverado they had on here lol
14:14 looks like he's just on a calm Sunday drive with his helmet on, then you hear the Hoonicorn rippin' gears beside it 😂

Was thinking the same... wich of the cars is more expensive btw? Rimac or Hoonigan?
@@aaptrooper yea and then family car from serial production came and shit them all up 😅

I like how in the third race, you can hear the Hoonicorn screaming from the cabin view of the Tesla. These videos are awesome, keep them coming 👍🏻
I love when they show the cockpit shots and the difference in the noise 😂😂. My condolences to Lia and the rest of her family as well as to you guys on the loss of your friend.
All that sound is from one car, LOL. Sounds amazing. I think all these VS Plaid videos just make the plaid even more impressive, the thing is heavy AF, a full family sedan ready to go grocery shopping and it's beating cars that are SOOOO much more expensive.
Imagine a stock car putting up a fight to a completely built race car running on jet fuel. Wonder what the Tesla Plaid would achieve with slicks, weight reduction, and a ECU tune!
IN SIMPLE TERMS they spent more money building that stang to win. The Tesla modded would walk away.
@@jameswise804 I agree, but you can build a lot of fast ICE cars with $140,000+. The reality is still going to come down to spending a ton of money for that kind of reliable performance . Also, they shortened the race to 500 ft to give the Tesla a chance. Standard 1/4 mile race is 1320. But the Tesla does have a big advantage by being accessible and every day usable. The future is here, and it's hitting hard.
@@jameswise804 You're forgetting the AI assist in the Tesla which actually cost way more. The Hoonicorn had no fancy launch control and just a 14year old at the helm.

That stock tesla can neck to neck a heavily modified race car with a race fuel is actually incredible
Few non-engineers realize that the only thing more powerful than steam is electric motor. Locomotive wheels are powered by electric motor energized by diesel generator. Ice breaker ship has huge propeller turned by electric motor powered by diesel generator - which lets that ship shove itself up on to the ice - essentially chinning itself!
It wasn't neck to neck but it is impressive
@@cliffhooper3558 That was an unmoddified Tesla at stock. If he put even 2 or 3 grand mod into it, it most likely would have won. That thing is fast.

When i was 14 i was learning to drive a god damn Dacia 1300 woth less than 60hp and an ohv engine. I envy her. My daughter also has the feel for speed since she was 4yro. Now she's 7 and i have a Mazdaspeed 6 a bit modified as "family car", i got a few times into troubles because of her: " Dad, can we go faster please? Dad, that man is looking mean to us, smoke him... 😁"
Lia's classmates probably find it hard to brag about driving their family car, when she's drag racing The Hoonicorn for fun.
For real. Imagine being a freshman in high school and being a car person, and then your classmate appears and tells you she’s driven in rally stages and shreds a 1400hp AWD mustang for a Sunday race.
Right, because all their parents are multi-millionares that can pay the best drivers in the world to teach drivers ed or give their kids million dollar cars to play with..... give any of those other kids the same opportunity then we'll see.

Next up should be the Rimac Nevera
A 4 door fully furnished road car vs. a stripped down race/drift car. Apples to oranges. It would be a shame if the Hoonicorn lost to it.

Every time, the Hoonicorn is just a frightening beast of a car. Way impressed by Lia's driving, that car is crazy and she has it under control.
the only way they can beat the hoonicorn is to put it against a dragster that was specifically made for drag racing and not much else really...

You could ballast boy that Tesla Plaid with a wife, 2 child seats with kids in them and a trunk full of groceries and it STILL would only be 1/2 a car length behind a 1400 hp gutted and fully spec'd to race menthol run race car in a 500ft race. Now that's just fucking ridiculous! 🤯🤯
I love that the Hoonicorn is so loud and the Tesla so silent, it sounded like the Tesla was slamming gears on the indoor camera
Everytime I watch her launch the only thought in my mind is Her reaction time is insane... She's been doing some serious homework.
well she was taught by someone who races dragsters so i hope so
lol

@Wayne Green I think Ken knew he could smoke him that’s why he didn’t. He’s obviously a pro and can launch/shift perfectly. It prob wouldn’t even be close if Ken drove it
The Tesla driver is the one that needs more tree time. He jumped that first start big time! Loved the DC-3 with the D-Day stripes. Awesome plane.
I love how confident Lia is haha. “Are you scared of it?” “Nnnnot really.” Driving the Hoonicorn there isn’t much she has to worry about on a regular surface. The things an absolute beast.
only slightly faster than a standard tesla with no modifications street tyres 5 seats and due to an upgrade soon so don't call the mustang a beast it can just beat a normal street car your mom can drive
@@colinsmith3938 Electric cars are a completely different kind of technology. They have instant torque and there is no build to power like there is in a combustion engine vehicle. So off the line they look fast but in the top end they honestly aren’t anything special. Notice how the race was effortless for the Hoonicorn to the 1,000 foot flag? The thing is, Electric should only be compared to electric in racing because of not only the instant torque and power but also the fact that they are automatic which means no down time to shift and literally no skill required to drive.
@@ryanadams2671 true
@@ryanadams2671 The top end claim with electrics (for the model S plaid in specific) isn't a factor anymore because it has a flat power curve where it holds 1020hp all the way up to 200mph. However currently it is software limited to 163mph for the time being.
It's not even "automatic", there's no shifting at all, since there's no gearbox to begin with.

I always knew Ken's car was stupid fast. After hearing about the plaid, I thought it would be a great match up. Now after seeing this. Mind is blown on the speed of the hoonicorn. Rimac next?
Yeah the rimac would probably beat it, it’ll leave an sf90 like it’s stood still and that’s a 1000hp hybrid. That being said that’s a great eye opener and compliment to Tesla that they’ve made something with all the creature comforts you could ever need which is almost as fast as the hoonicorn. Who cares if it’s not just as quick at the 1000 or 1500 mark, it’s more than you’ll ever need 99.9% of the time all for low six figures and it comes with a warranty. The plaid is definitely one worthwhile buying.
Hoon got NO CHANCE with the Rimac
if we are talking about the Nevera... 1913hp, 2300nm of torque, 0-60 in 1.85 seconds.. the hooni will lose that one, it makes the SF90 look like a Toyota Corolla

Every pass with those two cars gives me the chills. Unbelievable how fast that Plaid is.
When you look at weight and horsepower differences I think the Tesla did a really good job
it's because with electrics, you get 100% hp and 100% torque as soon as you hit the go button. No torque curves, no building boost, nothing.....That's why it almost (edited) beats her to the 500...after that it's when the hoonicorns HP and Torque kick in. For an EV to "work" it will actually need a transmission, even a 2 speed.
@@muskokamike127 6Speed AT, 1600hp, 3 motor electric would be a great combo but it's easily gonna be 5000 lbs+ so cut it down to 1300hp, 3speed, 3 motor
When you look at $$/hp Tesla did a really good job.
Electric torque is still way advantages unfair anyways, electric can push full consistent power off the line vs gas you won't push full top end power right away. So electric weight to ratio doesn't really an excuses.

And then they take it out to the 1/4 mile and Musk says never mind.
@@CAR_NL tesla roaster 2020, it was 200k$ but they didnt artived yet, and its 0-60 mph is 1.2 sec
@@UltimateAfgan 257mph Top speed
As soon as I've heard of the Plaid, the first thing I thought of was... Can't wait to see it against the Hoonicorn. The circle is complete. What an awesome race! Love it!!!
same here..its the Race i wanted too and im blown away by the results
Ken, we will always remember you and never forget you. Its tragic that it has to end like this, none will forget you. They say legends never die.
Man... This video really made me appreciate the cars we're still able to drive now. I would never give my gasoline Benz for a freaking soulless electric. Thanks for the video.
This race was really good! It really shows just how fast BOTH cars are. Also it's nice to have a 'yardstick' of sorts to understand how the hoonicorn stacks up against a production car.
Tesla was running stock electricity, imagine how fast it would be on VP racing electricity?
Imagine having almost the same acceleration as a car like that mustang, but with the comfort and silence of a daily driver, thats awesome😍
not really. there's no history, the respect isn't the same owning a car where you just push the pedal in an auto like a taxi driver and your car does the work
This is hittin' different.
Based off how the Plaid did against the Rimac Nevera, Hoonicorn vs Nevera would be a CLOSE race.
I think the Nevera would take the win there…
What? No it wouldn't. Nevera is almost 2x the plaids HP. Hoonicorn would die trying.
This is the race I asked for.
@@jonjeskie5234 I think the Nevera Hoonicorn race will be closer than you think. Remember this is only a 1000ft race.
No chance lmao the Rimac will win
My god Lia's launches are unreal, her reaction time is so on point! awesome match up!
Being young probably helps with the reaction time.
Also Tesla owners love to jump.
men you`re videos are super smart and made me laugh through out the video. recommended
Great video, I only wish KZhead hadn’t taken 2 years to drop it in front of me. I have to say though that when the guy near the end mentioned milliseconds, it threw me as I thought you guys across the big pond only talked in 1,024ths of a second….
This is the matchup I have been waiting for!
YES me too!
I haven’t been waiting for it, seen this vid in my recommended so clicked it
@@dannyt3180 - everything is working as planned
Same here
@@dannyt3180 Too bad :/
Every single time I watch the Hoonicorn race, I have to smile. It’s just so raw! Lia’s killin’ it on the track.

Loving both of these. That mustang though 🔥 🔥 🔥
Mann.. this Hoonicorn is legendary ‼️😳
Hell ya' A tesla plaid run vs the Hoonicorn! This is what I wanted to see.
The Hoonicorn never fails to make me smile, but that Tesla is FAST
Unless against that Audi RS3
Gas for the win baby! Sent that Dyson packing even though that guy jumps his starts
It's not fast, it's quick. In any discipline other than drag most cars would smoke the tesla. It looses power with battery charge, making it weaker with ever minute you drive it. That in addition to other factors will exhaust the vehicle long before the gas car will even break a sweat. Tesla's have terrible range. IMO a tesla is a great intercity vehicle, going from neighboring city to neighboring city or just driving in the city in general (imagine how nice and quiet new York could be for example), but anywhere other than direct city traffic the car would be next to useless. The issue is, at a certain speed it's neither engine nor exhaust making the Loud noises, it's the tire rolling noise. It's much louder than the engine even with quiet rolling noise tires. What good is a "silent EV" when you'll still here the what, 90-100 decibel loud tire rolling noise? The faster you go the louder it gets to the point where it's like 110 decibels, each decibel being 10x louder than the last (magnitudal, just like earthquakes). I genuinely only see EV's useful for short ranges and stop-and-go traffic. Like at that point your advantages not only stop but become disadvantages
@@993mike 1400hp with half of the weight vs 1020hp. 1400hp for the win! Embarassing
@@KryptoKn8 Its fast, 200mph is fast especially for a sedan this size🤦 Also Teslas range is great, it is greater than what the plaids competitors have. Tire noise is the loudest noise of most cars, correct. On a gas car you have tire noise on top of the engine noise too, gas cars are so loud inside. Teslas stay well in 70db area. I have lived with model s for 3 years and its been awesome. 10 times cheaper to run than a gas vehicle. Just way nicer experience overall. You will get it when you drive it
the sound makes me happy
We suggest Lia use the Hoonicorn in a couple years when she takes her official drivers test. 😁
Oh, I hope they put a camera inside to catch the instructor's reactions.
When she’s a senior, her prom date is going to insist that she drive her dads car.
Nothing will ever be as visceral and engaging as driving an ICE car. However, the fact that a car straight from the factory did that well against the insanity that is the Hoonicorn is extremely impressive.
That tesla also cost 100,000+ dollars
@@BigDaddy-jk6yt and the Hoonicorn has upwards of $500k in it EASILY. Lol
@@spamcans05 My whole car costs one of Hoonicorn's wheels
Yes the Plaid is impressive, by the Nevera spanks it. Evs are just going to get faster.
@@spamcans05 no probably in the 70-80k range
Amazing achievement for Tesla - drag-worthy family car straight out of the box. Stunning.
I've seen dudes pay for the car with the P100D. 700hp version. I'm sure you can get a used one, gut it, hack it, and start making street money every weekend
But i hate tesla autopilot I am a fan of Paul walker not a auto pilot

Honestly, i have been a petrol head my whole life, I wanted to see the Hoonicorn win . But all this work , the money, the noise , the special fuel.. was easily matched with a car you can buy from a dealership. Petrol engine in history in my opinion. Let’s see what the future will bring
God, i cant believe i just built a custom Lego Hoonicorn literally last week since I'm such a huge fan of Hoonigan, only to see the news tonight. I'll always keep it on my desk as a reminder though. It hurts worse knowing you were a fellow Utah resident and could've walked by you one day in a nearby store. RIP You legend, go drift through some clouds
The shot with the sound of the Hoonicorn from inside the Tesla was amazing
the best thing energy for the model s a few cent for solar power from the roof top, what does oil change cost?
Great video but how about the Block's vs the Tesla Roadster 2023?
It's impossible to watch the hoonicorn make a rip without smiling 🙂
There is a full-racing / striped Tesla ( i think in France ) .. wish you could race that in the future.
Hoonicorn VS Rimac Nevera (can't wait to see)
What a lovely C-47 with invasion stripes! Also awesome set of races, keep up the great work!
I was wondering what it was! Beautiful to say the least. But having drones at an airstrip flying near an actual plane.... Is that legal? I'm guessing private air strip?
What are invasion stripes?
@@aierleoncorek those black and white stripes under the wing. (never knew that they had a name.)
They are the alternating black and white bands painted on the fuselages and wings of Allied aircraft during World War II to reduce the chance that they would be attacked by friendly forces during and after the Normandy Landings. Three white and two black bands were wrapped around the rear of a fuselage just in front of the tail and from front to back around the upper and lower wing surfaces.
@Kate Nunyabizness That's really interesting, thanks for the explanation :)
Lia has so much control on the power of this car. She efficiently gets the power down with minimal wheel spin.
Hehe yeah
Launch control. No human can do what a computer can do at this point. The driver is freed up to focus on steering and paddle shifting when the computer tells them to.
@@alexp7633 The only "launch control" on the Hoonicorn is a rev limiter to keep the boost up between shifts. So that's all Lia.
@Baldspot He tended to jump early, and she even mentions it.
The electric was almost 2k lbs heavier race weight. Eventually the electrics will come way down in weight, and that will be crazy.
The solid-state battery "SSB" is now on the horizon. It will double the range of cars & deliver more power per pound. Imagine phone you never have to charge. Electric airplanes will become standard.
@@harlandharris1164 electric planes will néver become standard.
@@Stance1988 ohh yea they will sooner than you think
If Tesla made a dedicate super car it'd trounce anything, the Plaid is already the fastest production vehicle despite being a luxury car that seats 5.
@@lmdrd He meant to say a sedan, but even then its good because of the cost but not the quality. The quality is not compared to the other sedan cars that is around the price of a plaid.
Excited for roadster two
The grip on the Hoonicorn's tires to the pavement is absolutely insane...
4 wheel drive that’s why
