(intro music)
Ooh!
Welcome back to "This vs That".
(car engine roars)
Yo, that was sick!
One's a street car, one's a frigging race car.
Let's go!
Oh my God!
(upbeat music)
We love this location.
What you don't realize,
it's basically an active construction zone.
So we partnered with Chemical Guys,
because we want to keep all these cars looking good.
They make a variety of products for any finish you have,
whether it's paint, vinyl, matte, gloss,
you name it, they make it.
Right now, we're talking about
Hydro View Ceramic Glass Cleaner.
It coats your glass as you clean it,
it's an all-in-one glass cleaner and ceramic coating.
It's hydrophobic properties keep your glass looking good
and contaminants from sticking to it.
It's easy spray and wipe solution
provides an instant, streak free shine.
Use it at home, use it at the office, use it on your car.
I use it on my shower doors.
If you guys want to learn more,
go to the Chemical Guys YouTube channel,
there's over 1,000 videos teaching you a bunch of stuff.
Suppy teaches you how to weld,
they teach you how to keep your car clean.
If you want to pick up any of their products,
they've got retail stores all over the country,
Canada and even UK.
It's called Detail Garage.
And if there's not one around you,
go to your local AutoZone, Walmart or even Amazon.
Click the link below, see some before and afters.
Some how to's.
Even his car is on there.
Maybe they'll do more of the Hoonigan cars.
Please.
Ooh, welcome back to "This vs That",
brought to you by Nos Energy.
Ooh.
Support those who support us,
we wouldn't have this show right now
if it wasn't for our friends over at Nos.
Ooh!
We have a great battle today, JDM versus domestic.
All-wheel drive verse rear-wheel drive.
V8 versus inline 6.
They both got turbos though.
So it's a win-win for everyone, I think.
And one's a street car and one's a frigging race car.
It's a race car.
Who you picking to win?
Let's get to the thing first!
I just wanna race.
All right, what's up, Mr. This?
(upbeat music)
What's up, dude?
Who are you and what'd you bring here?
My name's Jimmy.
I'm out of Rialto, California.
I brought my 1990 R32 GT-R.
Nice.
And actually, the way that I found Jimmy,
is I hit him up on Facebook Marketplace about this car,
and he didn't wanna sell it to me for what I wanted to pay.
If you have a Skyline, a Supra, an S15, low ball yourself,
don't actually sell it to him, just post it low,
and So Cal, he will find it.
I told you I would find you.
Tell us about it though, man, this thing's beautiful.
All right, awesome, let's pop the hood.
Oh, we're just getting right to business.
Yeah!
It's an RB26 built by Andrew Molina at Animal Auto.
So it has pistons, rods, it has some Tomei poncams.
And you know, RB's, they're just really finicky.
They have a lot of oil starvation issues.
You just have to like, you know, massage them quite a bit.
So we did a lot of, you know,
like we did an extended crank collar on the crankshaft.
We're running the Tomei oil pump, a Nitto head drain.
So, the oil doesn't pull up on your head.
It also has a GReddy extended sump.
Oh, so, what turbo you got?
So, as far as turbo goes,
it's a BorgWarner 83/74.
So it's a twin scroll.
It's sitting on a Full-Race manifold.
And then that feeds to our Plazmaman Pro Series intercooler.
I knew that was Plazmaman. Ooh!
Yeah.
I knew that was Plazmaman.
Shout out to Plazmaman.
You seriously can just look at the intercooler
and be like, that's a **** Plazmaman.
It's so pretty.
Yeah, and then we have the stock intake manifold
with the ITB's still.
Fueling, we have Radium Engineering fuel rail.
We have a Radium Engineering surge tank
with twin 450's in there. Ooh!
This is a nice setup, man. So, what kind of fuel?
What kind of fuel you running?
Pump E, but it's on flex fuel,
so we can do some 91 if we get stranded.
Just for clarity, still all-wheel drive?
Still all-wheel drive, yes.
Yeah, what else is done to it?
You got TE37 OG's.
Yep, on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's,
so street tire, street car.
Interior wise, it's stock.
The only thing we have on there is the Haltech iC-7,
and a Nismo short throw shifter.
Yeah, the butt plug.
So subtle.
This car is really clean, dude.
So subtle, so pretty. This is really clean
and really nice car.
So we have the epitomy of super clean street car
going up against the most bonkers looking race car.
(upbeat music)
Why don't you-
Who are you and what'd you bring here today?
I'm Feras Qartoumy,
and this is my shitbox edition Corvette.
What? How dare you?
Don't look me in the eyes and call this a shitbox.
Hey.
There are shitboxes and then there are proper shitboxes.
It's Thursday!
We're doing pre Black Friday sale!
Do you know what that means?
LEMME TELL YOU
It's 30% off select items!
And free gift every order over $50.
A Broadway mirror.
See everything, including yourself.
And five, five, five X entries into our GT-R giveaway!
Five times the entries to win that twin turbo,
all-wheel drive Godzilla mother**** GT-R, baby!
Yeah, what is this?
Tell us about...
This is a time attack car, right?
So, yeah, this car is built for time attack,
you know, that's where the massive aero comes from
and the big horsepower, but you know,
just obviously started off life as a Z06.
It was really, really nice, and I turned it into this.
Nice.
Before you get too deep into it,
can you give me a aero test and stand on that bad boy.
Oh, hell yeah.
We can all stand on it.
No. You sure about that?
Yeah.
I've done it already, I'm sure.
Get on.
Are you sure about that?
I'm not getting on. Get on it.
Oh my God!
Right?
You want me to do that?
Do it.
(ceiling crashes)
Oh my God!
No, do it for real.
Stop, we wanna race this thing!
What the hell is this made out of?
It's Affinity Aero's carbon fiber front wing,
and it's chassis mounted.
And this is unlimited class, right?
Unlimited, yeah, but I can also run it in limited
with street tires and a track mount as well.
Can we pop the hood and see what we're...
I mean, we can see pretty much all of it
from the side right here. Well, yeah.
I mean, you get the gist of it.
So what are we working with?
LME spec 2000 horsepower build.
RHS block, Callies crank, Callies rod,
Diamond pistons, (indistinct) heads,
and they build these engines
to make 2000 horsepower for drag racing.
And what does this make?
This makes on low boost, 900.
And we have yet to find the limit,
but on high boost right now, I have 1200.
1200 horsepower. High boost right now,
so you are running high boost?
I can, I'm not on it right now, but we're like-
You said, "Right now."
You just said, "Right now."
"On high boost right now.", you said.
Run that back.
On high boost right now.
I'm on high boost right now.
Well, as in high boost today, I can.
He's back peddling.
He's back peddling. I can turn it.
Guilty, guilty, guilty!
So what does this thing weigh?
Right now it's like 2,950.
With you in it?
Without me.
Okay.
When going 125 miles and hour,
this thing may weigh 8,000 pounds, right?
Yeah, no, for sure.
It drags on the ground, if you look at the rear diffuser.
The diffuser's like a solid four inches off the ground.
We are connecting with the ground,
like the aluminum's splitting off the bottom itself as well.
Man, this wing is massive, dual plane.
It actually has an active aero component, right?
Yeah, yeah, and like-
Low speed, high speed.
Yeah, and in theory, that's what we wanted,
but as of right now, it's just way too much down force
for the front to keep up with it.
You scared yet or?
I just want to point out,
he has twice the amount of radiators,
twice the amount of turbos,
more than twice the amount of displacement, like...
What am I gonna do?
There's just that. I don't know, man.
He's got rear-wheel drive,
you've got twice the amount of drive wheels, so.
That is true.
Something I'm winning. He has twice the amount
of down force, which could be a disadvantage.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right, so generally what we do on these races,
heads up from a dig, 1,000 foot.
And then if it doesn't work out,
we can negotiate a roll, different distances, whatever.
So what do you guys want to do?
I'm down for that.
Yep.
I mean, we'll try.
We'll see what happens.
He's sandbagging.
Let's go!
Sweet.
(upbeat music)
I really want that GT-R to win.
I'm gonna go with the GT-R.
I mean, everything points to that the Corvette should win,
just based on power, but all-wheel drive,
man, get a good dig, he might launch out on him.
Plus, it's kinda an underdog.
I'm gonna go with GT-R.
Skyline from a dig, Corvette from a roll.
I don't even know why I do these predictions.
You know I'm going with the LS.
I love Jimmy's car, R32 is my absolute favorite,
but come on, man, how you gonna bet against Feras Qartoumy?
I gotta go Corvette, time attack car.
Hold on, we're doing wrist things.
All right, you ready?
Tell me.
Which, left and right?
Yeah, yeah.
Can you go faster?
(all laugh)
What were we talking about?
Predictions.
GT-R.
(upbeat music)
Round one!
(car engine roars)
Go, baby, go!
(car engine roars)
Oh my God!
That Corvette is fast!
Oh my-
I like my man jumping the line though, that was tight.
That was good.
We told him to do it. He said he was gonna do it.
(upbeat music)
(Jimmy laughs)
Really good job jumping the hands.
That's what you had to do.
Super proud of you, super proud of you.
You know, half the horsepower,
we gotta beat him at least on the tree,
you know, we gotta do something out here.
All right.
What do you wanna do to try win this thing?
Dude, I'm down for the hit, 500 foot and then-
You did jump forward.
Maybe I can get a win,
and then we'll figure out for the last one, you know?
Yeah.
All right, I like that, good.
Yeah, try to make it a little best out of three.
All right.
Next race, we're doing 500 foot, GT-R's gonna get the jump.
He thinks he'll take him,
and then we'll figure out the third race.
Round two!
(car engine roars)
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
(car engine roars)
Yeah! Yeah!
Yo, Feras-
That was a launch right there!
(upbeat music)
(car engine roars)
Dude, that was a launch!
Dude, nice frigging launch, my man!
That felt solid, bro.
How did that feel?
Dude!
I was just holding on for dear life.
I'm not gonna lie, I felt it get a little squirrelly,
but I stayed in it. He got squirrelly.
Do you know what you wanted for the next race?
So, I'd be down, I don't know if he'd be down for maybe,
you know, 1,000 foot, hit and a car.
'Cause he's gonna freight train me, you know?
That sounds good.
That's pretty good, you know, give me a car,
I'll try to take the hit again and then-
Say two cars.
That's fair, that's fair.
Two cars?
Okay, let's see if he wants to do two cars.
(Hert laughs)
I mean, you know?
Hey, look, his car doesn't even have headlights.
And your point?
You're taking him to a 1,000,
so in between, he's asking for a car and the hit.
Two cars, he said.
Deal or no deal?
Oh, **** no.
Two cars and the hit? Two cars?
You killed him by four cars!
No, dude, car and a hit to a 1,000.
All right, all right. All right.
I want to back him up.
You wanna back him up.
Oh, no!
He's gonna go!
I'll go ahead.
Hey, let Feras choose that,
'cause he chose a car and a hit.
What do you think?
I would say, him go forward a car.
All right, you go forward a car.
Last race, we're doing one car and the hit on the GT-R.
The GT-R is gonna come forward a car,
shortening the track a little bit,
which is gonna play to his advantage.
So it's gonna be a close race.
Round three!
(car engine roars)
Oh, buddy!
(car engine roars)
Let's go!
(car engine roars)
Let's go!
(car engine roars)
(bell dings)
(car engine roars)
(upbeat music)
Oh! Oh!
Woo-hoo! Oh!
I don't know.
That's a good race.
They went to 1,500, didn't they?
Yeah, they went all the way.
It always looks like they do from here.
They had no choice.
Corvette by half a car.
Oh! Whoa!
What?
Corvette by half a car.
Really?
Dude, that's a joke!
(upbeat music)
(car engine roars)
That was **** good.
Dude.
I was like, oh, am I gonna catch him or not?
And this thing is as fast as it looks,
like no one could be surprised at how fast it is,
but it lives up to how it looks.
But yeah, that one, good race,
but yeah, you got him by a bumper.
Yeah, dude, it was so close.
Hey, you know, not bad.
I feel like driving out of my life.
Watch what he wins for all this.
(all laugh)
Hell yeah.
Well, good race, guys.
But wait, there's more!
(car engine roars)
You guys said, last time we did this series,
we didn't bring out fast enough cars.
(car engine roars)
Makes 4,000 horsepower.
We didn't even say what it is,
but it's got 4,000 horsepower, so it's fine.
(car engine roars)
