87 grand national vs 85 dodge omni

[Cracksmacknhash]

NOT an omni

jesus

[jaded16340]

Damn people, the owner, TWICE, stated that it was an omni. not an o24 model. The 81 model for example had a long hatch back but had a pretty wedged shaped nose. the 024 had a flat nose. Regardless, this is an omni bodied purpose build race car. Not an actual 81 4 cylinder piece of shit dodge omni. Let's be clear. That was a race car, not a regular crappy 81 dodge omni.

[jaded16340]

no, it's not an 024, that was the later version the horizon mizor I think they called it, anyway, that wasn't a real omni. that was a tube chassis race car with a dodge omni body on it. and was likely all plastic at that. I have a 4link tube chassis car with an 81 dodge omni body on it. That doesn't make it a real Omni. People just don't get that. they'll ask me how I fit such a big engine in that little dodge omni. LOL

[dumann007]

its a full drag car with a shit ass omni body. nothin mechanical on this thing is stock or near close to stock. dunno why everyone is talkin shit like its this dudes daily.

[r2kool4u]

It's called an Omni 024. Look it up.

[FMX189]

It's only fast if you put 15k in the hood and it's still barely enough to beat an 87 gn

[fairtexhawaii]

@FMX189 Ding dong I was qualifying for 8.90 class...Sbc goes low 8's.

[rokmongo]

Charger, Omni, Tomato, Tamahto, diff body.

[Sodiumreactor]

The Regal looked like an actual street car compared to the Dodge which wouldnt get far on the street.

[DdgeShelby]

thats a 85 dodge charger.. not an omni..

[79Stepside]

actually i couldnt distinguish what it was, when i looked at the pro gas results i saw "dodge omni" in the slot with a 8 second pass. none the less, its a mean car

[kevintomb]

@DdgeShelby Its an OMNI 024 2 door version.

[boostcrazy]

Ew Chevy in a Mopar...not cool..

[79Stepside]

this must be courtney, i had more videos of this car on islandracer while it was grey/silver

[434sbc]

is this mike? well i'd like to see the videos if possible

[rahjahdat]

no this is kalei, ill have to look through my DVDs and tapes to see what i have. which races of 05-06 did you race?

[434sbc]

hey whats up kalei...i'm not sure that was awhile back if you got time try looking...

[fairtexhawaii]

i own the omni i heard it all charger,daytona..its a small block on alky that runs 8.40s to bad the track closed..sold the car kept the motor...

[bigorangetrucker]

Grand national blocks arent rated for that power. 85raminator is right. Anyone can built chev, BUT it takes a REAL mechanic to built FORD. Who cares if parts for chev are cheaper you can make more HP out of a 351W block that you can four bolt main 350 blocks, we do it all the time; 550HP with no blower on a built 351W. Good luck getting that out of a chev 350 with-out forced induction.

[dantheman1998]

youve got to be a dumb redneck idiot to say something that dumb. obviosly you know nothing about ford or chevs to even be talking.

[evster142]

Thats not hard at all... just need a monster cam and heads... i've seen a 355 put down 539 on 195 cc heads with a baby cam.... so go hump your blue oval and bow to the chevy gods

[winged70bbody2]

yeah...024 omni...charger...same car..either way...pwned

[Wes867]

You are right...thanks for correcting me

[fryertuck75]

You must not know Mopar history.....that is an "024 Omni" built in early 80's.

[79Stepside]

i guess youre right, the owner claimed it was an omni.

[Wes867]

christ, even the owner doesn't know his own car. that is a Charger, not an Omni. Going by the title I was expecting two stock bodied cars. Oh well.

[boriloco76]

hmm thats looks like and old school ram charger not an omni !! body style is different

[ohio1968javelin]

need a mopar motor to have soul and go faster

[434sbc]

i own the dodge omni i got $18,000 in it...and i run low 8s

[drevilgn]

Are you kidding 85raminator? A Stage II V6 twin turbo GN motor will cost around 10K and put out as much HP as you want. Single turbo ones start at around 1000hp. Hell my GN ran 12.7 with a K&N, tires, catback, $25 chip and some good gas. Thats a near stock car from 1987 to boot.

[85raminator]

personally i just hate those guys that spend 20k making a 3.8 turbo GN fast while you can spend about 10k building a 350 thatll spank it anyday

[Hitmanwon]

yeah right!

[79Stepside]

your right, someone looks at the title and expects to see an old granny dodge getting its ass handed to it by an untouchable GN. its all about the money dumped into a car and the person behind the wheel...

the reality is, any type of average car can beat any high performance street machine depending on how much money/driver is in it.

[InShatteredMolds]

wow the GN didn't lose by much compared to a car that had probley 50K dumped into and people who dont know jackshit about GM, obviously buick in this case *the grand national* are like "fuck those cars, look how bad he lost* fucking morons. can't stand narrow minds.

[odelgado78]

yeah buick GN for all that done know are one bad ass car. one of the best cars GM ever built

[InShatteredMolds]

top 5 best cars ever, the GNX that is.

[Mikes87TurboT]

29K into a GN to make it fast? Wow, I would never spend that kind of dough on my T-type. I bought the car for $850, got $1800 into a motor rebuild and maybe another $2500 into a new transmission and some basic bolt ons.I'm already running 12.0@112. That's almost an 11 second car for under $5k. The GN in the video looked stock and that Omni? The title doesn't do that GN much justice.

[InShatteredMolds]

29K? i said how the omni probley has a macho 5 figure dumped into it when the GN is pretty stock. Good to hear bout your t-type though, is it a regal t or a grand national, same car different paint / interior options heh. Regal T is the ultimate sleeper ever.

[Mikes87TurboT]

Actually I was responding to a previous thread by 85 Raminator. Anyhow, My Buick is an 87 Turbo Regal "T" package. In 86 they were called T-types but in 87 they decided to take that name away and just call it the "T" package. It's Burgundy with the burgundy pillow back seats.

I enjoy it for what it is. It's unique and putting a run of the mill small block in it I feel would strip it of it's originality. That's all I was saying.
