I'm guessing here but the Americans were in west Germany with all American everything and Russia was in east Germany meaning after 91 it wasn't hard for Russians to obtain american "luxury" very cheaply
the 3.8 that was in the late 1980s Oldsmobile is one of the best v6's of the era. This actually was a good front driver that GM did... GM has built a lot of junk over the years but the Buick Olds Pontiac 3.0 and 3.8 engine wasn't one of them. It made. Good power and was pretty common to go 250,000+ miles (400,000km) with out any real mechanical problems. I thought the engine in this video car was the Chevrolet "iron Duke" 4-cylinder 2.5 l if so it is also a really good engine although it never made a lot of power but it was almost bulletproof, they put that engine in everything from small trucks to boats to forklifts generators and everything in between. in the United States I don't think you could get a Okds with a 4-cylinder only the lesser makes that were pretty much the same car but I am no expert on late model smog cars as the all suck from all brands. Remember this was the era that Toyota bragged about 200,000 miles and Honda Civics were burning oil by that mileage. What is shocking to me this car was in Russia when it was the USSR in the height of the Cold War. It was the enemies car. For the record I want a Lada but here in the states they are really rare and expensive.
amazing how in russia you can just put license plates on something that drives and be fine.. meanwhile in germany its illegal to even drive with led bulbs installed, no matter if its headlights or number plate lights
I assume you mean if you put LED's in a car that's not supposed to have them, my last 3 German cars (E-class, 7 series, M5) have LED's from the factory in pretty much every light
In Europe you can apply for temporary number plates. These can be put on anything that drives. Usually car dealers and repairshops use them. If you are using them you are responsible for the car and its mechanical state.
That's the series finally. The camera pans out over an old picture or something to reveal a lunatic talking to himself in a padded cell. It was a wild man's ravings the entire time. Que X-Files theme.
I would love to know how Cold War era Cutlass Ciera wound up in Russia. That's gotta be a good story in and of itself. They were asking the engine - by the sound it's very obviously a 4 cylinder. There were two options for this car a 2.5 L rated at 92 hp or 98 hp depending on specific year.
alot of older cars from the US get shipped over in "auto export" companies, they claim "for parts", but alot of them will run with only a small effort.
I love your videos!!! Please give a huge tip to your translator for doing such an amazing job. There are thousand of people just like me which have no idea what russian words mean :)
@@robotcantina8957 Glad someone else remembered such a great project. They were more scientific about it and did the weight reductions in phases at the dragstrip with a bunch of passes. I wish I remembered the final results, but they were impressive by the time they got down to just a frame and the drivetrain with a seat on top. Think they ran 11s...lol Props to that driver in hindsight, they would never let them do that today.
I love that I found this channel, this is great coming from an Eastern Bloc country. It's interesting to see what people do with their own cars. I like the gaz myself and maybe hope one day I can get one
Love you guys. Completely stock Olds with the 2.5 liter "Iron Duke" (151 cubic inch) -- a 3 second reduction JUST by taking everything out. Impressive.
Too fun .. a national hot rod magazine did about the same thing here with a Corvette .. They stripped it down until the driver got scared it was going to fall apart while racing :) .. Great channel, keep up the good work!
These Oldsmobile Cutlass sedans were the favourite of rental car companies in the US back in the 1980s to 2000's. You could rent these at airports, and also buy them cheap after a few years of use in the rental fleet.
Glad you finally got a fine piece of American Automobile on there, lol sort of 😂😂😂 Send me a Lada here to the US, I'll show you what I can do with it! 😉
America hasn't used imperial measurements for anything important since 1985. Except for the things we use both for 🤣🤣🤣 .... Europe doesn't really know anything about America actually. It's pretty funny seeing Europeans talk about America, it's like listening to a 2nd grader teach algebra 🤣🤣🤣
Love the videos as always! You should keep this car for more videos! Maybe pull a turbo off an old diesel truck! Turn this sports car into a hypercar! 😂 In account of the 2.5 iron duke, I’m nicknaming this car “The Iron Dukie”
Love it !. Who saw American TV show did that with an old V8 Cadillac. That thing went from a slouch and MOVED A$$ down the drag strip !!. Interesting concept really. Oh they even removed the fuel tank and used a 4L can I think. :) :) :) Good show guys !!!!!
@@Flight--tz5nf I wanted to say "surprised You Tube allows the CCP to create channels", but realised that it is not a surprise. That CCP money is so sweet. At least Russia is not an evil socialist empire intent on f**king the world over with a virus.
I live in the midwest where some vehicles rust out within 5 years. This car was not among those with rust issues and last a long time here. They have cosmetic rust issues but the suspension, unibody, and other mechanicals are extremely durable in a salty environment. These got scrapped because no one wanted them anymore and not because of rust like many other vehicles that still look great but rust out underneath.
@@knurlgnar24 I agree. Maybe because the Big 3 were based in Detroit, the mechanicals are pretty hardy towards salt. But that generation GM bodies had no rust protection on the body panels and became eye sores. However, their Ciera seemed to have pretty nice body panels considering the car had been in Russia for 35 years or so.
I never thought one of my favorite channels would be a bunch of Russian guys who like to tear shit up keep up the good work I hope you understand this cuz I have no idea what you guys are saying thank God for translation
That Engine is a 2.5 liter (151 cu in) throttle-body fuel-injected "Iron Duke" A low-revving, but quite tough little 4-banger, if built after 1985. I own one.
that's a 2.5 gm also known as "the iron duke". it's a good engine overall when taken care of, not overly powerful though. used in s10 trucks and many other smaller gm vehicles.
doing a weight reduction in a car is alot of fun, i was stipping a car toa shell for restoration so i took everything off that didn't make it go or stop, went a lot faster, being rear engine breaking was a bit sketchy as the front end skipped along the ground on full pressure ( no brake booster)

The only word that doesn't translate well is "safety."
Lol

Leave the vodka is also unheard of

In soviet Russia, there are no traffic injuries, only deaths.

I didn't know they had Oldsmobiles in Russia??

It was probably imported out of a junkyard as a cheap alternative to driving a Lada.
It's not often that changing from a Lada to another brand is a downgrade.

Turn a Lada into a half-track or tank.

Did Russia finally run out of Ladas? LOL... The Oldsmobile is equipped with a 2.5L four cylinder Iron Duke engine.
It's actually not a bad motor.
8.6 seconds to 60... km/h... downhill. That car is probably in really bad shape, but the Mitsubishi Mirage gives this one a run for it's money
When I say it is not bad, I mean it certainly isn't powerful, but it will last a long time.
I would prefer the 4.3 or the 5.7 of course.
They never had a lot of them. Hungary had the most.

You don't need to convert the units, pretty sure americans can understand metric.
