Watch a Built GT-R Destroy the Hoonicorn in a Race

You're surely familiar with the Hoonicorn. This heavily-modified 1965 Ford Mustang has been campaigned by Ken Block across a number of different Hoonigan video series, including the recent Hoonicorn vs The World. As the second season of the show kicks off, the team have finally found a car capable of putting the 1400-hp pony car in its place: Mac Brosnan's R35 Nissan GT-R, known as Kimbo.

Brosnan's Nissan might not look as visually insane as the Hoonicorn, but this AWD sports car has been transformed into a serious drag racing machine. Built for racing on the street, the name is a nod to the street fighting antics of famed Bahamian mixed martial artist Kimbo Slice. In fact, Kimbo's best 1/4 mile pass of 6.97 seconds at 206 mph makes this the fastest and quickest GT-R on Earth. In order to reach those heights, Brosnan worked alongside the team at The Shop Houston during the build. The engine retains the stock VR38 block, though the engine now displaces 4.1-liters. A Mad Sweden billet intake manifold helps with breathing, while twin Precision 68mm turbochargers provide boost. Total output is around 2000 hp, which is sent to all four wheels via the factory dual-clutch gearbox. Crucially for this test, the GT-R is also rocking a set of giant Hoosier slicks at both ends. While all of this might seem like too much for the 1400 hp Hoonicorn, the GT-R is over 500 pounds heavier than the Ford.

Now that Ken Bl0ck has signed with Audi, his daughter Lia has taken over piloting the Hoonicorn in this series. Lia might only be 14, but the young racer has gotten a ton of experience in her father's machines over the past few months. Plus, as the team notes, her smaller frame gives the Hoonicorn an added weight loss bonus.

Block and Brosnan ran three passes through the 1000-foot mark, though not from a straight dig. The first pass saw the two cars attempt a traditional drag race, but the GT-R left the line way too earlier for a proper race to take place. By the end of the strip the Nissan put four car lengths on the Mustang, necessitating some adjustments to the format.
