The world’s fastest minivan (A.K.A. the world’s hottest 6 driven by a dude named Cam Douglass in a Chewbacca hoodie) lines up against the world’s hottest supercharged Audi R8 owned by a dude named Mike Tornabene (A.K.A. Dom Mazzetti) on the no prep tarmac. Who wins? Whoever it is, the world isn’t ready.

The rarest production AMG car.
It's kind of like saying the world's hottest six though.
Straight pipe daily.
I don't even understand this episode but we do have like a supercar and a superstation wagon
crossover SUV before crossovers were a thing.
I hate to say this but a station wagon is being nice.
That's a minivan.
I don't know what it is.
Let's go look at it.
Not only showed up with a car that I've probably never seen before
but also showed up with a jacket I've never seen before.
That thing is sick.
Chewbacca.
That's an intimidation tactic, right?
Did you have to kill Chewbacca to get that jacket?
Hey, you didn't say no.
He didn't say no.
Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to.
He's the Vandalorian.
I'm a dad now.
Anyway, what'd you bring here today?
It's a 2006 R63.
I seriously don't think I've ever seen one of these on the street.
The reason why you don't see too many of them, they built less than 200 of them.
Oh wow, really?
And around 100 of them stayed in the U.S.
So it's...
Oh, so this is super rare.
Super rare.
It's the rarest production AMG car available in the U.S.
Okay.
And there's a reason for that.
Nobody wants them.
It was a $100,000 minivan in 2006.
But it's got the 6.3 supercharged?
6.3 M156 motor.
Can we pop this thing?
They only made it in one year, right?
This is an 06?
They made it in one year.
One year, 2006 is the only year they made it, right?
This looks brand new.
All right.
So this stock, it had like 503 horsepower.
I think that was the rating.
And we've supercharged it.
So it's putting out around 700.
Dang.
Stage 2 supercharger and long tube headers.
What is this?
You got some AM water meth?
Every car needs meth.
This is how you know it's fast, is it's got a hose clamp and safety wire holding its dipstick.
I was gonna say.
Now that's some race car shit.
It's a record-setting vehicle.
Talk about it, Nads.
Hit us at the Encyclopedia of Knowledge.
Tell them how fast did Tanner go on this thing?
So we ran the mile out in Nebraska and standing start mile.
The car ran 160...
165.5.
Noodle it!
So it did okay.
World's fastest minivan in a standing mile.
It's 5,500 pounds.
So this is a pig.
And to get it going that fast, I mean, 700 horsepower got it going.
And it still has legs.
And this is rear drive, right?
It's all-wheel drive.
This is all-wheel drive.
All-wheel drive.
Yeah.
All right.
So we did wheels.
We had...
I think every car in the world needs monoblocks.
Probably not.
No.
Wrong.
So we built some 21-inch monoblocks and put some big Brembo brakes on it.
This isn't stock height though, right?
This is definitely lowered.
It's lowered.
So I've got a little button.
I can set it down, but we can't drive it like this.
Seriously, I have cars that run wheels smaller than those brakes.
Can we hear it?
I'm with her.
Hear the motor?
Let's give it some beans.
I think Mike had some questions on the world's fastest minivan sticker.
Is that like something you have to get authorized?
Yep.
I authorized it.
You authorized it.
It's kind of like saying the world's hottest six though.
The dish is fake.
I know.
I'm going to lose though.
That's the funniest part.
That's the best part.
On to the competition.
This is our buddy Mike, but you might know him as Domizetti.
Energy beer.
A full loco.
I'm a hipster now.
Cracked a day beer.
You want to dance with Domizetti?
Even if I'm still drunk, I hit the gym.
Now you have a whole new thing, right?
Shell Corp.
New clothing brand.
I funnel money through it.
It's totally legal.
Yeah.
The name doesn't tip off the IRS.
That instills tons of confidence.
I trademarked it too.
They let it go.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
Trademark Shell Corp.
Yeah.
So then I put it on the front of my car so people know maybe this is illegal.
So you've had quite a few supercars, right?
You had a McLaren.
You had something else.
Yeah.
An Aston Martin.
I don't know where I was going with that.
I was just trying to say something.
You were just trying to flex for me.
So you've had cars before.
He had a McLaren that he let hurt drive.
Yeah.
So clearly he has no sense of life.
I know.
I taught him how to do donuts in his car.
Yeah, he did.
I showed him at the shop and then we went to Willow and then he killed it.
Yeah.
McLaren burnouts.
McLarens do donuts.
He did a good job of teaching.
He did a great, he did a killer job of teaching.
You want to know how I taught him?
I literally went like this.
I was like, just follow the wheel with your butt.
And then he did donuts.
And do you know the conversation that Kurt and I had right before him driving the McLaren?
I said, Hurt, don't crash the McLaren.
We can't afford it.
Hurt said, I'm never going to get to drive a McLaren ever again.
So I'm going to beat the shit out of you.
So what's done to this thing?
Okay.
VF supercharger, about 750 horsepower.
I don't know.
Wheel or crank?
We know you're Zach's boy.
So we're probably talking crank, right?
Honestly, it's probably.
Yeah.
You measure from the back.
Yeah.
I think it dynoed at the wheel at 560.
Oh, this is all wheel drive, right?
Yeah.
Other than that, there's some really cool aero.
KW suspension with the hydraulic lift on the front.
So I can actually drive it in and out of places.
So you can get gas.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
Otherwise I'd just be stuck.
Well, this is a super cool looking car, man.
I'm into it.
Yeah.
Oh, it's straight piped too, so.
Is it straight piped?
Yeah.
It's loud as shit.
This is your daily?
Yeah.
Straight pipe daily.
I'm the only one that appreciates that.
Everybody else.
It's the thing about loud cars.
Everyone hates them unless you're driving it.
Totally true.
Yeah.
Totally true.
Even me.
Like I have a loud car.
I love it.
My neighbor has a loud car.
You're like, **** this dude.
You hear me like, oh, sick car, asshole.
When you're behind the wheel, you're like, sick car, asshole.
What's your prediction?
I would like to win.
But if I'm going to lose, I want to lose to a minivan.
I feel like no one wants to see the fast car win, right?
You want to see the minivan win.
I'm going to try my hardest.
We didn't set you up, but you kind of got set up.
I know.
I did get set up.
Yeah.
I felt it.
I felt I was walking into a setup and I did.
Look at all the stickers on it.
It's a setup, man.
All right.
So normally we go, we set the first race just straight up, heads up from a dig,
especially because from our point of view, the cars are somewhat even.
But you guys get to decide how far you want to go.
So you got 500 feet, 1,000 feet, 1,500 feet.
1,000.
Okay.
So it's 1,000.
We're going 1,000.
Mike's just here for.
I'm just here.
He's just here to look pretty.
How am I doing?
Okay.
You're doing good.
Doing good.
On that note, let's go race cars.
As much as the dad bod in me wants the minivan to win.
Same horsepower, 1,000 pounds less.
Even with Mike driving, he's going to somehow manage to win.
That's the X factor.
Obviously I love Audis, but I also love vans.
It's a conflict for me.
I don't actually, I'm not a huge R8 guy because I can't afford one,
but I kind of want to take that motor and put it into something else.
So I'm going to go R8.
I'm just going to start going simple math.
V10, V8.
I pick V10.
I think the world's hottest six is going to win.
Top one.
I'm thinking supercharged V10.
You mean the station wagon versus the sports car?
I'm going to go with the station wagon.
I have no idea.
I just want the van thing to win.
Are you kidding me?
That is so sick.
Oh, come on.
Whoa.
Mike slept on that launch.
Yes.
Yeah.
I think the R8s have the same problem with the Lambos.
They have that delay on the launch.
So you got to get ahead of it.
It's hard to do a hand drop.
Yeah.
Can't cop that triple zero reaction time on the ground.
The minivan by his front end.
Wow.
Is that one of the closest races we've ever had?
By a nose?
Minivan by a nose.
Ah, loser.
Lucky for you guys.
I came prepared with excuses already written.
Let me get them out.
Number one, bad start.
Number two, 1,500 feet.
I had him.
Tires are cold.
Traction.
That's it.
Yeah.
He's cheating.
I'm sure he's cheating.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guy looks like he's cheating.
I mean, look at that man's face.
He's wearing a bloody Chewbacca.
You got to shift a little earlier too.
You were on the limiter.
You got hung up on the limiter.
Anything else?
You got any more advice?
To go faster, you have to.
I have to use the momentum.
I have to thrust it.
Follow your hips.
Get off of me.
This thing has no business making that kind of noise.
Hell Cam, this thing digs, man.
Your reaction time, pretty impressive.
I think the thousand foot mark was a good choice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was coming.
Yeah, you had him by a fender.
Now, I'm personally curious.
Do you have your heated seats on?
No, heated seats are gone.
Here's the real question.
Were you listening to NPR?
All right, line them up.
Let's do it again.
Seriously.
Did you see him?
He's just like, yeah.
This dude's got so much seat time.
He's just like, yeah.
He's got the T-Pain watch wrist.
That's how you know he's balling.
Ready, two, one.
Go.
Woo.
Oh, he's already got one.
There he is.
Woo.
Not a miss time, baby.
See ya.
Woo.
This is one of the best races we've had though.
I think you got him on that one.
Did they run it all the way?
It looked like they ran it all the way.
I think Mike just keeps going.
He just doesn't know.
I beat the world's fastest minivan.
Yeah.
Would have put that on a plaque.
You should put that on the side of this car.
World's fastest minivan beater.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This car kills minivans.
People are like, what's wrong with this guy?
Are there kids inside?
I hope they're beep booping.
I think they're beep booping.
We're going to see what Cam wants other than maybe
a latte from Starbucks.
Okay.
You guys each took one race.
So we want to see if you want anything other than like a latte from Starbucks.
You're already getting a hit.
Scotto says just because you're just a far more superior driver to Mike.
He went to school though on that last one.
So that's going to be a tough one.
I think he's got it.
Do you want to stagger a start?
I think a stagger.
Take a car length on the start.
Yeah.
A car length plus you'll probably get a little bit of a hit.
Yeah, let's do that.
He's asking for one car length.
Okay.
So he's going to move forward one car.
All right.
You got it.
You got confidence for days.
Yeah, I'll use one win.
That's it.
This is why you need people who aren't like car industry guys.
Cause he goes back to his day job and he's still successful.
He's like, I don't care.
I already have an R8.
Eat shit losers.
So right now we're one, one still going to a thousand.
One car for a one car for Cam.
Wow.
Still got him.
That went faster.
I think they moved it.
That thing rips, man.
God, it's so unassuming.
He's just like, he's like a character from Jackass already dressed up.
Do you want to race him in the GS?
Too soon?
Oh, wow.
Remember that time the Naptime Nova did something?
You said you don't have to call it that anymore because you saw it do a burnout.
Take it back.
All right, guys.
I'm going to go ahead and call it.
All right, so that's R8 by a bumper.
Wow.
You did it.
I'm practicing what they call humility right now.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you won by a foreskin.
Nice job.
Who's going to do donuts?
Donuts.
Someone's got to do donuts.
You can do donuts.
I'll do donuts.
All right.
Man, that thing parties for an all-wheel drive car.
Nice job.
You've come, you've come really far.
And while we were happy you won, we're all happier that you now know how to do donuts
in the car shaking your bumper.
That's the most important thing, yeah.
We're doing a drag race on The Drag Racing Show.
Do you think that this bumper is going to hold up?
Yo, Dad, put that lift kit on.
Oh, my God.
What the f*** was that?
