@@GhostActual206 an actual race would have corners in it. That's how you see who the mechanics are vs the real racers.

[@marcusclarkson2657]

@@_-Montana-_ right I do realize that and it's fun. But one can be taught to do it in a relatively short time compared to actually getting 10/10 out of a car on a course and doing everything quickly, not stopping as soon as there's a bend. Whether built or bought, there is a wide gulf in skill required between the two and although pro drag guys are " real " racers, there are " real " racers who may not be able to rebuild an engine but can push that car to its limits in more than a straight line. That's when you can actually see which is the more capable machine in practice and not just one aspect.

Hoonigan is dying. All the life has left. Got love for Gary, Zack, and Micah but the hoonigan energy aint there anymore. Its sad man.

[@jimsiggy]

Speaking about the Eagle Talon, Gary said: "It's actually an American car.", NO! It's actually a Japanese car, a rebadged Mitsubishi Eclipse to be precise, no matter where it was assembled, its roots are Japanese.

[@longtailrally780]

Actually it’s DSM which is a collaboration between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. So it’s half American and half import.

[@YTisDumb]

Alot of the talon/eclipe/laser platform was taken from Mitsubishi, but famous Chrysler designer Dennis Myles also had a hand in the design.

[@MrRyanxdavey]

It's a USDM car, not sold in Japan, from a partnership between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. It's more American than Japanese no matter how you slice it

[@ThePaperRobotChannel]

Designed and produced in USA, for US market only, by a Japan-US collaboration. If it looks American, sounds American and smells American, it is American.

Wheel pros don’t give a shit about things like that. The days of genuine Hoonigan content at any yard or shop is most likely not coming back and even if it does, I doubt they will have their own space. They’re gonna go to the OG guys shops and use their faces for brand repair.

[@jimrustle643]

​@@fredlambergwow, you're really behind in news. WheelPros fired/laid off all the shop staff, emptied out the burnyard, sold it, then never addressed it as they hoped everyone wouldn't notice. Daily Driven Exotics bought the burnyard and renamed it "The Block" in Ken's honor, something that WheelPros never had any interest in doing for a fallen man. Suppy and the garage crew; fired by WheelPros for nothing, did them all dirty. Danger Dan; gone and now at RTR. Nads; gone. Vin; gone. Hert; gone. Scotto; gone. The only people left are Gary (who is probably the only one worth watching at this point), Zack, Micah, and Georjah....who in my opinion adds absolutely nothing to the channel or the dynamic as she's just a decoration/eye candy peice. We're watching the slow death of HOONIGAN in real time.
