Buicks are so ugly but they run forever that is why so many are still on the road

[pengouin85]

great driver in a terrible is a thing of beauty

awesomesauce video :)

[N0XI0USB4C]

Having driving a 3.8 w body as a daily driver for a couple years....even with the body roll I owned a mountain I had to drive over every day. 

[wankelbolt]

Usually those wrong-wheel-drive Buicks are found camping in the fast lane of any American highway, going 10 MPH slower than the speed limit, with the left turn signal blinking. And blinking. And blinking...

[jnicholsonjr]

haha that buick's a beast!

[magooracing]

I noticed that he wasn't really reving it to the redline. Is the tach accurate? If so, was he just shifting at the peak torque revs or saving the engine because it's an endurance race? Nice battle with the Buick BTW. Lemons is fun! Our SHO has alot of tailwagging too.

[Pitviper70]

The tach is off. The redline, using that tach, is about 5k with torque starting to drop off around 4.5k.

BTW - Version 2 is coming up.

[mikeb1444]

Oh the body roll and wallowing!

[Pitviper70]

You shouldn't talk about our driver like that. ;)

[mikeb1444]

With the wallowing? That Buick is so intimidating to drive. You can feel the sidewall flex.

[Pitviper70]

Oy...  our driver's body flexes and wallows... It's a joke.

[mikeb1444]

Oh, my bad. I had my calc final today and I'm a little fried in the head.

[mikeb1444]

Hah I have a '92 Le Sabre. I named her Slushie. It's a car that obeys the Leno rule. It's better to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car really fast.

[Husoku]

Awesome video! You should swap in a 6-speed. Just get a used C52 normally aspirated 1987-89 MR2 transaxle for like $100, and then find a 6-speed C60 from a Pontiac Vibe. Find one that has a cracked bellhousing for like $200. The 6spd guts swap right into the C52 MR2 trans, which bolts right up to your 4A-GZE supercharged engine. You'll need a flywheel and clutch from a non SC engine. On this track I can see where a 6spd would have helped. Again, AWESOME video, I plan on entering a MR2 in 2011 :)

[Robin724now]

I was there in a Ford Fiesta. I coulda had that Buick easy. You should have kept your foot in it longer in turn one.

[trxdam]

Wow the driver in that buick has some balls on the amount of bouncing that went around on that track. Also that sucker had some power. It'll put some car lengths on ya in the straights.

[makvarochapollo]

lol:D

[Tayuku28]

that's prolly the comfiest race car ever

[Serajadeyn]

hehe, if only you knew...

[1puglife]

friggin buick lol

[Serajadeyn]

Hey Pug! you like, eh? Maybe i should bring the car up to the farm for some field races? lol

[1puglife]

well i wont go there anymore so we will have to find a sweet race track and git r done lol

[halflife103]

what davidsfarm? ohwell i s'pose you got your own reasons. ohwell get better pug.

[1puglife]

yep i do

[halflife103]

mhmm im one to go with the flow. but yea seriously i hope you get well. my uncle is like you. just he wasnt as lucky... but get well soon.

[Serajadeyn]

well, maybe when LeMons comes to Canada, I heard talk of Mosport in some places. :)

[widetrackcat]

Where is this track?

[Serajadeyn]

Nelson Ledges. It's in Garrettsville, OH. Southeast of Cleveland

[AlphaDeutsch]

that actually looks like a looot of fun cause it doesnt matter if u fuk up hahaha

[roomrumblers]

This is a joke, right? What kind of junk heaps are those?

[Pitviper70]

$500 ones.

[Serajadeyn]

sort of. this is an endurance race for cars that are purchased and race-prepped(not including safety items) for $500 or less.

[g00oogle]

ur tach's broke

[Pitviper70]

It works, it's just not accurate. We just need it to be consistant. [shift at 5k on the tach]

[anon0999]

awesome vid.

i wish they had leMons in canada

[derlustigedfence]

Go Finalgear Buick! :P

[blowupyourself]

ha funny to see its nelson ledges. i live right down the road.

[engineman312]

i want to know who was racing that crown vic taxi?!?!

[gdawgg00]

Mad props to the person rolling that Buick. Makes me proud to see a big ass GM car bending corners like that.

[Ryance85]

big ass fwd buick at that lol

[camarogod93]

hahhaha GREAT race!! Looks like it was loads of fun.

[1ncient]

:O the last car he passes, is that rly a Lada?! :D great battle anyway :D

[Pitviper70]

Yes, really a Lada.

[Donkelo]

Lada 2104 or 2107. Didn't even know they were imported to the states!

[EJ25RUN]

It might be from Canada

[mikeb1444]

Hah, must have been really stripped down. I'm gonna have to see if mine has a limited slip diff. Probably not. Nice vid!

[mbukukanyau]

That Buick must have one of those GM's Supercharged Engines that makes me sometimes why Granny took off in such a hurry..

[punisherbass]

Nope, it's the 205hp NA Series II 3800 The LeSabre never got the supercharged 3800.

[spuy767]

If that was an SC engine with the Cats cut off there wouldn't have been a race.

[stevz0r]

friggin' hell, i was actually on the edge of my seat.

[zenhooloovoo]

Sorta gives meaning to "its not what you drive but how you drive it..." Nice!

[bradenmcg]

That was fantastic.  :)

[chrismodiano]

what true motorsport. this reminds me of senna vs. prost.

[zaph0dbeeblebr0x]

i like the review mirror

[Pitviper70]

Check out my other video, MikeSurprise . You get a good look at it. :(

[snowboard2000n]

why cant you pass it? because youre driving a 4 cyl piece of shit.

[Pitviper70]

Um, we did pass it AND we're driving a 4 cyl piece of shit. What does that tell you?

[ke70hibino]

Haha what kind of race is this? Just random junkers?

Looks like fun!

[Pitviper70]

24 Hours of LeMons - it's a race for cars that are bought and prepared (not including safety equipment) for $500.

[ke70hibino]

That's awesome!

[punisherbass]

I was with Final Gear when they ran that car last weekend. I assure you it's a totally stock 99 LeSabre with the NA 3800 and GT suspension with 130k on the clock. We ran silver 18x8's in the front and chrome Olds rims from a junkyard in back.

Thanks a lot for posting the video.

[brickyards]

LMAO that Buick has chrome rims too, that makes it at least 20x funnier!

[unusualawesome]

That was awesome! Makes me love my blue '98 LeSabre even more now! Just need to put in a new starter and alternator and she'll be tiptop in no time.

[wankelbolt]

Wow! That is the FASTEST you will EVER see a 90's wrong-wheel-drive Buick go. And the ONLY time you ever see it actually PASS another car!

Must be rockin' the 3800 V6. What a great engine.

[manoman0]

The Buick s/c 300 V6 Series II/III is a damn bloody devil engine.

[FDallaround]

its just a plain old 203 hp 3.8, they dint put a supercharged version in the LeSabre, and thats what that car was.

[Jai9100]

Dodge Dynasty at 4:30 ! That was my first car, but it was dark pewter, not hot blue.

[HansStruck]

Great Video!

[mtxrawkus]

Awesome. That Buick looked like it was on stock suspension!

My team raced a '91 Caddy in the 08 LeMons South and had a few battles with smaller cars. Don't sleep on the obese American iron!

Thanks for posting, looks like you guys had fun!

[Headcrabb]

that was so awesome and exciting... good think I go through random gamesurge channels (#cars )

What kind of race is this anyways? (i'm not a car person :0)

[unusualawesome]

24 Hours of LeMons

[parkrndl]

it's AMAZING watching that thing lean in the turns and the way it dives during braking, with the tail waaaaay in the air...

[philyt]

Wow, grandma musta got real lost that day!

Kiddin, that is one bitchin Buick

[Castor1Troy1]

<--One of the Buick drivers.

Thanks for posting!!

[Serajadeyn]

I was wondering why i didn't see the MR2 during my night stint. I was in the hot seat from around the time you guys were out until 4am. it was a thrill!

[Serajadeyn]

hahahaha, Thanks Rob! Great Fight Dave!

[spinnetti]

Man, that Buick is really going.. who would have thought! Good job "Serj"! What sort of lap times were you turning Rob? I musta got a slower driver on my stints as I never really noticed the Buick (only one really made me work was the Alfa and Supra)

[Pitviper70]

We were typically in the low 1:30s with a low of 1:27 (in traffic). We were out at 11:00pm so we weren't on track when there wasn't a lot of traffic.

[Viper007Bond]

LOL, go Team FinalGear! (the Buick) :P
