In this thrilling showdown brought to you by Hoonigan, we witness a clash of automotive titans in the form of a modified 1978 Ford Escort and a potent Mitsubishi Evo8. The Escort, transformed into a show car named The Mex assist, boasts a Cosworth YB engine churning out an impressive 400 horsepower with cutting-edge features like charge cooling. On the other side, the Evo8, driven by the skilled Sam, packs a punch with 800 horsepower from its 2L engine and a PPG dog box transmission.

As the race unfolds, the all-wheel-drive Evo8 proves its mettle against the show car, showcasing its superior performance on the track. Despite the show car's impressive modifications and racing intentions, the Evo8 emerges victorious, leaving spectators in awe of its power and agility. The team behind the Evo8, including the owner, tuner, and builder Sam, display remarkable sportsmanship and expertise throughout the competition, earning respect and admiration from all.

Even when faced with a substitute race against another Ford vehicle, the show car falls short once again, unable to match the sheer speed and prowess of the Evo8. The event culminates in a display of camaraderie and mutual respect among the competitors, highlighting the true spirit of automotive enthusiasts united by their passion for speed and performance. The show car's owner is lauded for his style and grace in defeat, embodying the essence of sportsmanship in the high-octane world of racing.
