[@BillyBorm]

I love seeing how you guys manage to button up this chaotic monster up and get it closer and closer to the point where it just consistently works so you don’t have to stop testing due to those sudden unexpected problems that you used to get in its earlier stages. I cant wait for the day that you can just confidently rip that thing around a track, full power no holding back, without issue.

[@Joshinarounddaily]

Just try to imagine rob driving this 10 years from now . .. I can't , totally uncharted waters. Neck n neck with Hoonicorn when not done and untested beyond dynasty beginning . Now is just the beginning . Then 6 rotor . ..

[@Patrick-zr8tv]

​@@Joshinarounddaily the hoonicorn is great and all but when the 4 rotor gets reliable it's going to smoke it capability wise. The hoonicorn is a show car meant to entertain, and it does that perfectly. It's an awesome car and it does awesome stunts. The 4 rotor, however, is just not the same thing. It's extreme engineering of an rx7 to go as stupidly fast as possible around a track. If you get a good driver behind the wheel of the RX7 the hoonicorn wouldn't stand a chance. Doesn't have the traction or the power to hold a candle to it, which makes sense. It's designed for skids not for speed. Edit: I wrote another comment below clarifying in more detail what I meant here since people seem to be upset with me calling the hoonicorn a "show car".

[@joealex65]

@@Patrick-zr8tv I can tell you the Hoonicorn is not "just a show car", there is some real intense engineering behind that thing and it's just insane, calling it a "show car" is a massive insult and is something many people will never say, the Hoonicorn was built to do basically anything and be good at it and it's kinda the same purpose Rob is giving to the 4 Rotor.

[@DaftFader]

Yeah same, the more rob runs this car without it, the more I genuinly fear for his life. This car's no joke, but fire spreads faster, especially if there's nothing to stop it!

[@mrCyk0]

It's not him building suspense. It's him building confidence in the fact that he can do it without breaking it. The reason it has so many sensors is so that he can learn allot each slight step up and prepp for the next... But yea firewall please, you don't want the data point to tell you it's time to that being that you are missing a leg.

[@andrewable2634]

Yeah, the Toyo proxies are good and all.. but he needs to get some SOFT tires that have much more sidewall. Also he should (perhaps?) Make the rear have more travel so it doesn't Bounce quite as much. Love that Rob's car though it's awesome.

I'm not a huge "photo shoot guy" but seeing Kyle's NSX with your RX7, it kind of makes me want a shot with some other mid 90s era cars from Mitsu, Subaru, and Nissan, but all need to be modern beasts like both of your cars are.

[@racerex340]

I'd love to see someone give a 3000 GT VR4 the kind of sick treatment that Rob's RX7 got. There are 6G72 strokers with single turbos pushing 1400 HP now that we finally have built bottom end kits and people have figured out how to get them to breath.

[@wololo10]

Suspension is too soft

[@Cardfold11]

@@wololo10 I mean it’s gotta be compliant for road bumps and whatnot but also manage nearly 1000lb ft of torque. Squat and dive characteristics are also part of the suspension design (angles of the control arms) but I think all and all the car is set up very well for all conditions. The entire chassis is optimized for adjustability and performance driving

[@PlayinWithMahWii]

Rob- any thought on doing 60FPS for your videos? With things like the flames shooting from the exhaust and hard launches- really anything with motion- there would be a great benefit to 60fps or even 48fps footage. Obviously takes up more storage space- that's about the only con.

it would take twice as long to render though

[@Humboldt710]

I can't say enough about how amazing this journey to 4 Rotor bliss has been! Such an amazing creation!

[@aserta]

Rob's cars would benefit a lot from having some hard mount points in the rear and front where handlebars could be fitted with a wheel that has brakes on it. Could also be electrified thus help with loading and unloading the cars of ramps and such. This is old, old race world stuff. Back in the day, they had these "carts" powered by modified outboard motors that went to go-kart wheels. Made work for the crew much easier.

[@DallasGarage]

1337hp was amazing! Leet horsepower forsure!

THE DAMN GIGGLE AT 20:21 GOT ME it was the best "I am 100% loving this" childish giggle i have ever heard and i'm so happy that this project has come so far. Lovely work mate

[@TowerCrisis]

Rob, first of all I wanted to commend you on how far the 4 rotor has come. But this is really important, you NEED heat shielding between the wheel and the exhaust. You don't just have to worry about ambient heat from there, at these exhaust temps you also are playing around with infrared radiation directly heating up the wheel and tire. Sustained for too long, you will 100% blow that tire up when it's heating up from not just the road but also directly on the sidewall.

[@Jumpnjahosofat]

I love how Rob reacts like its a shiny new toy every time he gets in that car. Can't wait to see some AWD launches on the track!

[@twstedsmilesjb14]

This is one of my favorite videos so far! I love the mad scientist look and vibe Rob was giving off while on the dyno.

[@olekaarvaag9405]

18:29 I remember when you were filming those short pulls! I could hear and feel it all the way over here in Norway. Seriously though, that car is insane on so many levels it's just not possible to describe how brutal that is. You guys have done such an amazing job with it so far. You have birthed an automotive legend that surely will be talked about for decades.
