[@johnhimes4468]

The Z needs a driver mod.

[@brettconv83]

Driver is almost everything. I’ve beat guys in much faster cars with my 03 Mustang because they simply don’t know there car and can’t drive. I have even told them, you should have beat me hands down.

[@Bmr4life]

Wouldn’t have made a difference. That AWD launch was unmatched for a Z on 19s

[@saccityautoparts]

coming right up

[@davothegreat9990]

Z aren't that quick though.

[@saccityautoparts]

@@davothegreat9990 and the gtr wasn’t “stock” haha. Plus that AWD helps so much.

[@Jimmys-gaming]

Who ever does the video edits and puts all the memes and stuff in is a bloody legend

[@Andrew-xz8yp]

I find them pretty annoying. 16 minute video and only 3-4 minutes of actual driving, the rest just stupid Americans with there loud mouths talking crap

[@oghomelesskid]

Yup, the editors are goated🙏🏾

[@randbaldwin]

This was a driver's race. I would love to see a driver swap with the same cars.

[@ToprankImporters]

All wheel drive is just easier/better on a surface like the runway. If I told him what to do, no matter how I drove that Z, I would have lost to the GT-R.

[@tedclark7860]

No it was just the R34 had 120 horsepower more than stock through a tune and an exhaust.

[@itsrtvbaby]

@@ToprankImporters You were pulling on him though! I feel like if that Z could grip like the R34, that Z would have won.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

Nah....it's a traction race and the Z loses everytime.

[@hitmixhyepock9405]

​@@tedclark7860and roughly the same as the z.....

[@the_frankc]

"Gentlemen's Agreement" numbers on the GTR is hilarious 😂

[@saccityautoparts]

[@Outland9000]

Yeah, they make 280... At some particular rpm. 😂

[@aaronuuu]

The editors make these videos 10x better good job

[@Caluurion]

The shreditors are killin me. I don't how y'all find the little clips but I've spit my drink out twice now. Give em a raise!

[@rmp5s]

I've always wondered that, too...they just search for them I guess? Dunno.

[@3xeplodng_3agle_studios]

Multiple minds working together. That's a lot of figurative space for memes and pop culture references to be remembered within. Not to mention almost everyone consumes media. Especially when they work in it, comes with the territory. So it only makes more sense that they'd not only be aware of a lot, also that they'd never really run out, between what's already there and what's constantly being produced.

[@MitchySlicksterFig]

Favorite part of the show lol

[@stephendebeauchamp356]

100% best in the game! on another level compared to anyone else on this no contest, no diggity, no doubt

[@Jsmith9619]

I actually find it annoying and over done. Like saying the same joke over and over, doesn't hit the same. Hoonigan sucks anymore. I skip to the racing and parts that matter, makes the vid about 4 min long without all of their one liners trying to sound funny and hip and advertisements.

[@Mazin26]

I swear, this is the best engine sound I've ever heard. The sound of the Skyline GTR drives you crazy

[@anydaynow01]

Yep, Nismo, Z1, Concept Z or AMS should make an "offroad only" RB swap kit for the RZ34! Best looking Z with the best sounding Nissan engine, all with a stick shift.

[@davencherry845]

I gotta side pipe on my bitch

[@Mad_Medz]

Spot on bro 👏💯

[@willbryanmedina3515]

I have a “lesser” rb25det and it makes me so happy every time I drive it. And it gets even better when you make it bounce off the red line.

[@mrred5260]

Seeing Jolly mentally break down at the end after the guy in the Z flubbed the roll race was funny.

[@bassmasta9117]

I gotta say a 3.0 twin turbo v6 with the no lift shift in that small chassis sure looks like it would make a fun daily driver

[@mikemooch7719]

The R34 is one of the best looking cars ever. I never get tired of seeing them.

[@43Disciple]

9:31 this is our customer’s car, also I’m drag racing it and driving my kids around in it, please let us have your business 😂🔥💰

[@ToprankImporters]

we have some nice customers. I wanted to make sure if we are bringing an R34 vs a 400 hp Z, we brought enough.

[@43Disciple]

@@ToprankImporters y’all have my love rest assured, all those sacred imports that sit in Japan are much better off with owners that will drive them! I have business for you as soon as I finish securing $100k in disposable cheddar

[@Reubachi]

[@Jsmith9619]

Agreed. They are terrible now. All about advertising and greed. Sold out and now it sucks.

[@rustywrench500]

​@@Jsmith9619true it's not the same, but at the same time I also see they would want to make as much money as they can while they're in the position to do so, still sucks though miss the old hoonagan.

[@kyleveach3238]

100% miss old hoonigan. Every fuckin episode is this boring drag race crap.

[@kesteraustin7504]

24 years later and that car still has the chills❄

[@PHATT_TV]

That’s why I can’t let go of my R34 Gtr…..24 years later & still amazing 😎

[@Wockkkyyslushieee]

I wonder why the r34 is the most praised. Yes the other gtrs are loved just as well. 100,000+ with mods depending on power level. But , 300zx is so sexy it’s design is truly timeless. But , you can still get a good example for like 6-8k. Na 10-15k TT . I wonder why they haven’t gotten the spot light like the gtrs have.

[@subiesnacks8446]

​@@Wockkkyyslushieeeheavy, not as refined, track/racing accomplishments. There is honestly no comparison, nor is it a close one. Two different levels of car

[@oOinsertusernameOo]

⁠​⁠@@Wockkkyyslushieeeyou’re literally the only person that thinks they look better, plus they handle like shit.

[@joeschneider67]

Totally agree.. Iconic car and extremely well performance.

[@itsrtvbaby]

@@Wockkkyyslushieee I truly love the design of the 300zx Z32. Incredibly timeless. However, the R-34 is not only ahead of the 300zx in terms of every aspect of performance, but the R34 is a rarity in the U.S., which naturally brings more value.

[@Drewchinnick68]

Shoutout to the editor who does the random video snippets throughout all of Hoonigans videos, that’s some goode effort

[@jacobcater5527]

[@brettconv83]

It’s not Monday without a new This Vs. That ❤

[@bevis226]

R34 is my dream car. The Z can be a hell of a car but they are HEAVY and with a 56.7% Front/43.3% Rear weight bias they can be a hand full if you start adding HPs.

[@TTOS69]

I swear this race seemed slower than some of the old truck drag videos lmao. Like it was in slow motion or something. Those new Z's look nice too.

[@wooaahhmaannn5624]

[@ToprankImporters]

they told us we were racing a 400 hp Z.... we aren't in it to lose.

[@siriusbreak2212]

@ToprankImporters and I respect that 😁. Brilliantly displaying one of the pinnacles of 90s automotive engineering. All that tech, R&D, and still, the R34 stands its ground! That last part was born from owning a modified STi that's pushing around mid 300s in the HP department, and I KNOW that R34 would've fed me a bowl full of gapplesauce 🤣.

[@spookyreaper1702]

It was restricted to 280hp for the Japanese market. Remove restrictions it’s making 330hp easy

[@ToprankImporters]

@spookyreaper1702 what restrictions?

[@uhtc_productions7165]

@ToprankImporters if I believe correctly back in the 90s the JDM companies did a gentleman's agreement for equal hp but the gtr actually made the most. like 350hp crank and the supra 2jz was 330hp I believe don't remember the rx7 hp
