DUDE SO MUCH FUN!! Cant wait till next weekend! Thanks for all the help at PPIR!

"We'll be back, we'll be back..." yea with hopefully more hp

KSWAP YOUR S2K XD

[@logandesanto9430]

Really enjoyed the video between you guys, both really good dudes coming together to just race it out

[@multipurposepaperbox]

man, it hurts every time a GG episode is shorter than 55 minutes

[@matthewadkins9810]

True!

[@jackhughman282]

At 10:06 Ben: Let me try this anime move Ben: *Shaves a tenth* Ben: "lol"

[@jackhughman282]

I wish they would have edited in a eurobeat for that one video clip where he's doing it.

[@OttawaSenators41]

Runnin in the 90's

[@SuperMilkMan]

@@jackhughman282 Its due to copyright. Hence why most people don't typically use the same Eurobeat from the anime.

[@beautifulbeaner]

@@OttawaSenators41 overplayed

[@davidfogel5207]

Got a bit of Forza Horizon vibes when they showed artist performing on stage

[@coreystrandberg9087]

That was the inspiration for the Alpine Horizon festival lol

[@AdrianPerez-th5sy]

Ben wasn’t lying when he said this video will be coming out way after Dustins! But boy is it so worth the wait. Really great content! Love your channel G&G!

[@JonHop1]

tbh I think Ben and them OVER-produce this channel with all the cinematics and stuff. Bit over the top if you ask me. Just my opinion of course. I prefer a more raw, quick upload like a Boostedbois style..

[@SamDoesStuff]

@@JonHop1 nah, they have a quality standard way above most automotive KZbinrs, and I think that helps stand them out from the crowd. It's what I love most about this channel, it's always a quality upload in terms of both content and visuals.

[@Hawk7886]

@@JonHop1 yeah unfortunately the "raw" low effort style of the boostedbois is a lot less fun to watch. I subscribe to this channel (and not to boostedbois) because I like and appreciate the professional editing and composition

[@JonHop1]

@@Hawk7886 Its all opinion.. there a reason BB get way more views and has way more subs.. and so many car channels are WAY less cinematic and over-produced and are doing way better.. For me, its a complete waste of time and money.. Cinematics have their time and place.. this channel is super over-produced like 90% of the time, which is why it takes so long to release. There needs to be a better balance if you are doing this from a business perspective. More releases, more content and the cinematic production here and there equals more content, less money and more profit. And for me, its just as entertaining. These are cars we are talking about. I dont need lipstick on a pig.

[@JonHop1]

@@SamDoesStuff Yeah and their quality standard means more time and money spent with much less profit and for what exactly? To show CARS and racing around a track in some beauty pageant. I appreciate their effort, but their a reason BB and Cleetus have way more subs and views. Its more raw and real to normal car enthusiasts. Ben makes this like a friggen documentary. I watch car channels for to see the real behind the scenes dirty raw experience. If I wanted cinemtatics and a big production, Id watch the Fast and Furious or some car documentary on the History Channel. Again, just my opinion. Their camera work and editing is great, but I think its kinda wasted doing so in a car YT channel.. Go into movie making or something.

"Pulled a Takumi on that curb" DUDE LEGENDARY

[@fareedcalvert9376]

"Full SPOON car" Missing the most important part, the engine

[@explodeder]

“Coming out to the west coast…” nearest coast is the Gulf of Mexico.

[@caileanhamilton9932]

Which is... West.

[@explodeder]

@@caileanhamilton9932 the west coast is absolutely not Colorado. The west and west coast are two different things.

[@CaptainBlitz]

wow you're so smart

[@shekharbahuguna9475]

Dustin's s2000 looks really good. I am not a big fan of headlight covers/deletes but gotta say looks dope on that s2000.

[@JonHop1]

I personally dont understand why he went all out spoon but has a stock engine... That makes no sense.. And if he is building a car to compete in Grid his HP numbers are pathetic.. I think the Spoon F22C makes like 275. It is like almost $20K for that engine though lol

[@kevinmorelikekevout3639]

@@JonHop1 exactly he’s basically a ricer I personally don’t like Dustin As much he just seems meh to me but this s2000 looks nice all for 200 hp it’s so dumb at least Kwap it or do something Bc all that aero and shit just makes that car slow for somebody who just started tracking

[@FredricMccubrey]

[@Z_Spool]

Having moved from the west coast to Colorado 11 years ago, I laugh any time I hear someone from back east call Colorado the west coast. The coast is a good 16hr drive from us with 2 separate mountain ranges in between. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BrainsofFrank]

The wrap on your car Ben is looking killer. It makes me want to wrap my daily driver

[@hpa101]

Love that S2000! (Dustins 😎) - Taz.

[@z3dz]

Hey! I am a Honda s2000 - 2001 owner. I've never rebuild the engine, only serviced the head, but tbh the SPOON s2k making 192 WHP is kinda low. Why? I am only comparing to my s2k (only mods are intake - single exhaust, stock ecu) which is kinda a beaten up s2k and it made 192 WHP on a mustang dyno. GREAT VIDEO guys, keep it up!

[@z3dz]

@Clay S. nice thought! Maybe earlier vtec + shorter diff gear ratio. I honestly dont know, maybe he hasnt rebuilt the engine yet or he didnt test it on a dyno or with an other s2k. I've tested mine with a low kilometer s2k , with a ecu/exhaust/intake + shorter ratio of 4.44 and the difference was chaotic. he could take the race 1/4 mile - 400m even with letting off the gas :P

[@5PYZ3R]

just bolt ons he said. so not much different from yours engine wise.

[@z3dz]

@@5PYZ3R oh, ok!

[@Sajuuk9]

SPOON does nothing to the engine.. they tune a lot of other stuff but never touched the engine (at least for the S2000)

[@NotxOmnis]

i believe dustins ap1 had an ap2 swap at the time

[@jdm603jake]

4:03 is that the vette from the hoonigan video that dropped the other day? Edit: went back to check and YES IT IS! 1200hp twin turbo

[@haneefbraimah2543]

i noticed that too, super cool

[@jerridmurphy3112]

Hell yea it is lol I noticed it right away

[@asmcinn]

Ben: *puts wheel inside curb* Dustin: "NANI?!?"

[@jeldibye]

If Colorado is considered the “west coast” then I must be living in the Pacific Ocean 💀

[@superdupersubby]

I'm from CA and thinking the same thing lol. I've been to the raceway and Colorado Spring (beautiful place btw), I'd consider them definitely West but I'm not sure about coast. Maybe he meant that since the event attracts people from the Western states, not entirely sure.

[@kevvinle]

i feel like colorado is mid west

[@dismaltimestamp5995]

Its awesome seeing how other teams are willing to help out each other in these series. I mean you all are out there just to have fun and bragging rights. But at the end of the day i think its just about the fun factor.

[@WrexyJoe]

You guys are awesome, thanks for the new vid Ben! Been watching Dustins eg build, sooo good!
