Crazy hoonigan STI stunts

[KLCC]

That gotta be the craziest video I have seem coming from the hoonigan.....Travis definitely got a pair of iron balls.

wow, 3 wheels on the dock and 1 over the edge - ken cock would definitely put it in the drink at that point

He did that as a show off to Ken because in one of the earlier Gymkanas Ken did the exact same thing but just kind of put the tire off.

You might want to watch the other Gymkana series. This wasn't that great.

High production value stunt driving is cool, but kinda leave me feeling cold. I don't think they do hundreds of takes, but it wouldn't look different if they did.

[arcticcat522]

The other videos look like they may take more skill, but jumping a car that far/fast would be dam scary.

The last big jump they did if you watch carefully the landing hit something like 269 feet.

I watched the “build biology” for that car. It’s nuts. Active aero, and Travis could control the angle of the rear duckbill with the handbrake, in order to keep the car level in the air for that jump.

[arcticcat522]

thats nuts in a car that you have practically no control over once it leaves the ground. Plus what speed was he going?

Watch it on YouTube? Or what?

Literally in the first post.

He was shown at times to be doing over 144mph.

i was referring to the "build biology." Quote didn't work on the edit. If that's there too, I missed it. Watched while walking the dog and it was cold last night.

Yeah build biology is on their Youtube channel.

Sweet. Will watch tonight on the walk. Thanks

How many sets of tires do they burn through for what gets edited down to 10 minutes of video?

As someone who works for Yokohama, I can tell you that it is A LOT. He ran a mix of the A052 and V601 Advans for the video. The A052 is a 200 treadwear tire so being spun that hard and that fast puts a lot of stress on the compound.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

A052 don’t last long at the best of times but they are fast.

[revelations]

Now I want to see the outtakes.

I like this one more tbh. Rx7 gets lighter each race as it loses more pieces haha

The only cool part is the town, Annapolis MD.

Love that historic vibe in that town.

Watching Rob build that car and go through all the shit he went through is nuts. The fact that car was untested and did that well against the Hoonicorn should speak volumes.

I truly hope Rob gets that car sorted because it will be a complete animal to drive.

[90_Shelby]

I liked the race against the RS3 better, and it amazes me how fast the car is and how close to stock it is for an 8 second car. I’m pretty sure if the guy wasn’t so sleepy on the light he would have won that round.

The RX7 is bad ass though and it’s too bad it wasn’t sorted before he showed up.

[taemo]

guy needs to make a cameo on F&F movies

You catch the video on the rs3 owners shop? He has the same 5 cyl in his 80’s Audi quattro, it is nuts.

That's bonkers, good thing it has a cage, it must be an absolute animal.

You can tell from the skid marks in the scene. Some they were first take for sure. Some they had tried a few. Very few i saw that looked like they did many many takes.

Scotto did a pod cast on Smoking Tire. They did 4 takes of the high speed jump.

Watch this series... It's crazy.

Brian Scotto from hooligans is having them build an og 20v for his Quattro coupe and a 07k 5 cyl for his 944 (boost brothers on YouTube make a kit to fit it in there). Not gonna lie, after hearing a straight piped 07k in a 944 I was tempted to sell the forester, the 944 would look so period correct with my place :rofl:

Skip to just before 9:00

Damn that must sound glorious in person. Also, brave of you to imply that Scotto is ever going to actually make progress on that Audi. :rofl:

I dont get why 4 cylinders sound like crap, V-6s sound like crap...but 5 cylinders sound awesome.

Nah, I mean, wait, no, forget it, I meant what I said.

Suppyvisor seems to help, scotto has the most interesting ideas but they never transform from ideas to functioning vehicles lol

Even my parents eurovan 10v sound at least interesting, shame more companies don’t work with 5 cyl.

From reddit:

Every engine makes two tones simultaneously. These tones are always the same pitch interval apart (octave, major tenth, etc.), and they slide up and down together with RPM always maintaining the same interval apart.
The bottom note is constant through every type of engine for a given RPM. It’s the top note that changes (and therefore the interval to that constant bottom note) depending on the cylinder count.
On 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 cylinder engines, the top pitch is one octave up from the bottom pitch (from, say, a C to the next C up on a piano. 12 semi-tones apart).
5 and 10 cylinder engines produce two pitches a major 10th apart (from a C, past the next C to an E. 16 semi-tones apart). These are the best and most interesting sounding to me because it’s the richest sounding interval.
3, 6, and 12 cylinder engines have their top tone a perfect 12th up from the bottom tone (from a C, past the next C to a G. 19 semi-tones.).
Theoretically, a 7 or 14 cylinder engine would produce a slightly-flat minor 14th interval (from a C, past the next C to a B-flat. About 22 semi-tones apart.):
What this means is that at a given RPM, that loud top tone of a V12 creates a higher pitch than a V10 at the same RPM, which makes a higher pitch than a V8. It’s one of the reasons those Ferrari and Lamborghini V12s just scream.
—
If anyone is interested in hearing some examples, the road cars all have about the same redline (8.5k RPM) and the F1 cars have the same redline (19k RPM) but you can hear how the upper pitch is higher at the moment before they shift at redline going from the 8 to 10 to 12 cylinder engines. The bottom pitch at redline is the same through all the engine types.
The top note of the F1 V8 is E-flat at redline but the F1 V10 is the G above that for the same RPM. (The bottom note is of course the E-flat am octave below at redline.)

4-cylinder motors can sound good. There's a lot more influencing the sound of an engine than just the cylinder count. Camshaft duration, exhaust configuration(think of how different unequal length headers sound vs equal length on a subaru), crankshaft design, etc

One of the best sounding 4cyl's imo:

I personally don't think 4 cylinder sport bikes sound that good...that's why I bought a ducati. But that's a personal taste thing.
