[VIDEO] Hoonigan’s ‘This or That’ Races a Nitrous-Powered C5 Corvette VS an 800-hp Nissan 240SX

When it comes to tuner culture – outdoors of the dependable pros at Lingenfelter and Callaway, that are fundamentally OEMs in their individual correct – it is safe to say that we sense conflicted. This team, primarily the types out there angling for YouTube views, routinely ruins at the time-very pleased enthusiast vehicles in the pursuit of dyno figures, tire smoke, and ETs. Their antics and relentless reduce-scenes can be hard for the older people in the space to view, and a cloud of skepticism hangs over so quite a few of their statements. &#13

On the other hand, looking at an individual “drive” a 30-12 months-old Japanese car or truck that is boosted within an inch of its lifestyle straight off of the keep track of into the grass and a barbwire fence is amusement gold like a drunk uncle attempting to experience a bull, and the Hoonigan crew in this online video has some fun with one particular of their guest’s horsepower assertions in an superb and amazingly self-mindful recurring joke.&#13

If those execs outweigh the substantial disadvantages for you, then have we received a triumphant C5 online video for you!? On Monday, Hoonigan, the 5.1-million subscriber channel most noteworthy for the Ken Block and, far more recently, Travis Pastrana Gymkhana video clips, posted a new entry in their This or That sequence of drag and roll-racing vids that function intensely modified metallic. &#13

The motive we took discover of this episode is the C5 Corvette fixed-roof coupe sitting down in the “this” corner of the superior-horse struggle. Even with out turbos (it was built with twin-snails in brain but is rolling NA in the video clip), the C5’s nitrous-assisted 402-cube LS3 receives the light-weight ‘Vette down the street in a hurry, and it conveniently fingers the purple automobile the “best sounding” crown in this matchup. &#13

Relocating on to “that,” the place we come across a 1996 Nissan 240SX that is possibly eco-friendly or blue. Underneath the hood is a heretic-authorized instance of the famous 2JZ inline-6 of Mk IV Toyota Supra fame. After the 2JZ is uncovered, the questionable features and ensuing “1,000-HP” jokes commence flying, and the video truly usually takes off. If there was any query just before, we are now 100% positive we’d choose Jacob, the Corvette owner, to do any upgrades on our particular cars right after the performances supplied in the auto walkarounds. &#13

At the 11-moment mark, the true action receives underway with a 1,000-foot race from a standstill. We really don’t historically like to spoil the benefits in these kinds of posts, but the C5 unquestionably wipes the flooring with the Nissan that statements at minimum a 250-horse benefit, and it sounds remarkable when executing it (also, if you speedy forward to this point, you will have missed the Nissan likely off track, that happens about 10:40)! The round two rematch is termed a clean when both equally motorists permit off in the vicinity of the finish. Spherical 3 attributes each cars getting off from a 50 MPH roll, and this is the place we will cease with the spoilers, but we want to reiterate particularly how beastly the LS3 sounds on entire boil even from the cameras mounted on the Datsun, the V8 is all you can hear in this race! Every little thing right after that is the Hoonigans, effectively, hooning, so adhere around if that is your thing if not, be certain to chime in with your thoughts in the comments!&#13
