My hat is off to any team that would actually make all those random parts cooperate together for that long!

[@teamfieroline3400]

Damn that was a good save. Nice driving!

[@thedave7760]

Contraption is definitely the correct word for this car.

[@liwoszarchaeologist]

"this project wasn't really about what might work on paper; it was more about what do we know about, and what do we have lying around?"
this is the way

[@MagicalTrevor3]

I was gonna come in here all indignant about this video not covering the East Coast team 2-broke 2-care's Benz-diesel E30 that debuted this past season but then the full list of swappage kept going and going on this older car and I have to say... fair play!

[@chrishaase]

I thought it was about that car as well. I was judging the CT race when 2 Broke 2 Care debuted the car. It was glorious and loved seeing it on the track. Too bad they aren't closer together, could have a Mercedes Diesel swapped BMW show down.

[@Schadenfreude_Racing]

@@chrishaase We got in contact with them. Maybe.

[@honkhonk6443]

Tow truck overtake killed me, God bless those people.

[@zackhype]

God I wish we had these in Australia. Hard enough to find ANY racetracks here. Let alone something like this.

[@Jonathan-dq8hb]

You guys got an Austin Marina with a six ! Ours only had a four cylinder.

[@almitydave]

The "Big Enough" boost meme at 3:59 is awesome.

[@Scot-p1v]

I loved all my 617s, but, after 20 years of cruisers with slushboxes, I needed a manual. Silly me for not thinking of stuffing one in a BMW with a Nissan transmission!

This is completally wrong. You know what would simply dominate? - a EG Honda Civic with a Buick 3800 V6. That Japanese double wishbone suspension mated with the GM sound of power is the combination of pure excellence.

[@ObsoleteGamercom]

Now that's what I call a Super Frankenstein!

[@molochi]

I love the Lemon's culture. I'm in SLC, hit me up if you want a rando internet guy with spare time to support your class c team.

[@Schadenfreude_Racing]

Diesel is the answer!

[@Jonathan-dq8hb]

My daily driver is a '90 Cavalier with the Briggs & Stratton 2.2 liter, mated to a THM125. Very reliable, but very coarse.

[@gafrers]

Love Merc OM engines

[@rozap_8356]

People have asked me why I put a vr6 in our lemons fiat x1/9, and the reason is...because there was a vr6 sitting in the corner of my shop for years.

[@UberLummox]

Heroicness! Funny its @$s end is so squirrely.

[@ManiacRacing]

A 1975 Chevy Impala wagon with two 670 predator V-Twins mounted in back, each engine driving one wheel with a CVT/chain drive setup. Cut off everything excess for weight reduction leaving only cage and body panels. Think a swollen twin McCullough engine gokart from the 60's...with a body! It will totally dominate and be super easy to work on! Rear engine supercar!

[@isaactheisaac]

with a top speed all of 45mph :P

[@ManiacRacing]

@@isaactheisaac Yeah but if it does that ALL DAY LONG with no fuel stops....it will DOMINATE! Endurance and stuff!

[@ManiacRacing]

@@isaactheisaac And I bet I can get at least 57.683mph...with turbos!

[@therealboofighter]

Looks like a AW11 wing on the back.

[@Schadenfreude_Racing]

It is.
