I got my class 2 with air brakes endorsement in 2012. I love driving buses and I must say the MCI classic has to be the all time best bus ever made and driven. you are a good bus driver. my name is Joe from Montreal city,Quebec, Canada🇨🇦
The 6V92 sound really captures the essence of my youth. I took MCI busses my whole life until I got my license. The one in your video is turbo, while we had superchargers in MTL. The engine sounds the same, but we don't have that whistling, we get a whining sound instead. Thanks for posting this!
@@15140Productions Both are compressors that pressurize the intake air charge, but they are driven differently. While technically, they are both "super chargers", what we commonly call a supercharger is a compressor that is driven mechanically off the engine, via a belt or chain, or even gears. A turbocharger, on the other hand is driven by the exhaust gas leaving the engine. A supercharger tends to whine, and will rev up at a constant speed relative to engine RPM, where as a turbocharger will whistle and its sound or pitch varies with throttle input as the engine loads up. The following video features a bus with the same engine as the one in this video, but is supercharged. You can hear the supercharger whine as the engine RPM rises: ruclips.net/video/X26WeifTTO4/видео.html
@@15140Productions And here's some more Detroit Diesel audio porn for you. I recorded this at work (YUL), though it is a 6V53 not 6V92. Essentially the same sound, just older series Detroit 2-stroke V6. I used a stereo microphone, try with headphones for best experience: ruclips.net/video/HhnFTIrISJM/видео.html
Nyc had them, utah transit, Connecticut transit, big blue bus in LA California, I think that's it. And I know Canada had them, because it's a Canadian bus manufacturer company.
This bus was originally built to do interurban line runs for Canada Coach Lines, in which there were 9 built (2201-2209). This was numbered 2201 when it was originally built.
Yep... when CCL was also known as "Fun-Trek"! CCL initially unloaded these buses in question to Hamilton Street Railway, using the same fleet numbers you describe.
It's strange to hear a turbo version of this motor. In Montreal, we had supercharged models. It's funny, you can hear the same engine, same transmission, but the supercharger whine is missing and there is a turbo whistle instead. Pretty damn cool. I've ridden these busses so much that it hearing this today is like hearing the voice of my own parents. Extremely familiar.
I once rode in a bus like this one...for Metrobus Transit in St. John's, the only Newfoundland city that has rear-engined transit buses! These buses are no longer used since 2-stroke Detroit Diesel-powered transit buses are a thing of the past...4-stroke Diesel-powered transit buses are much more common nowadays!
Wow that bus sounds awesome and Warren you handled that bus like you been driving classics for 20 years.Next time I will knock off work and hopefully go up with Jovan on same greyhound or megabus.My mci classic rides were limited to last day of NYBS 6-30-05 I had 1490 over to Morris park and a 1700 back with wc lift in front.
The powertrain is basically the same, except in the GMC years it was not fully electronically controlled (until the 1987 model year, which was right at the tail end of GMC's ownership of the series). The V731 transmission was first introduced in 1983 (1984 MY) and was heralded as the first Allison transmission to use the ATEC (Allison Transmission Electronic Controls). That was followed a year later by the electronic equivalents of the MT644, HT740 and HT747... the ATEC versions were the MT(B)648, HT(B)741 and HT(B)748 respectively. The DDEC Series 92 engines didn't show up until mid-1986.
I remember the 59-xxx and 60-xxx having that sound, also there was the 56-001 in Montreal Canada, having the same sound when they modified it at the end of its service life.
Slamming the window open with authority! Then, the "oh no the window won't close" experience.
Goodness listen to that bus roar!!!
You handled that bus, brother, RESPECT! Give me a 6V-92 any day!!!

That Diesel Turbine makes that bus go 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds 0-100mph in 10.8 seconds 1/4 mile in 13.5 seconds

What's the difference between turbo and supercharge?

It was almost doing 50mph in 2nd gear. What gearbox does it have?
@@jaggass Allison VR731
@@ClassicTVMan1981X Does it lock up in 2nd or is that 3rd gear ?
@@jaggass Usually in 2nd.
@@ClassicTVMan1981X This one sounds like it's got a really low back axle ratio.
I'm from Philippines & the bus drivers drive like they're in Fast & Furious & the passengers aren't bothered by it at all
He was whippin' that bus!

Reminds me of riding the Liberty Lines in NYC in the early 90's.
That is the best sounding bus engine I have ever heard.

Sounds like old Charlotte Transit buses ( Grumman buses).
Does this GM/MCI classic belong to you?
Awesome sounding Detroit Turbo Diesel, thanks for the ride and sharing !
were will they have it i do wanna go and drive something like this i love old buses
This has to be the only ex-FunTrek (Canada Coach Lines) unit intact right now. Originally numbered 2201.
Nyc had them, utah transit, Connecticut transit, big blue bus in LA California, I think that's it. And I know Canada had them, because it's a Canadian bus manufacturer company.
Warren, you got me all excited bro. Are these buses coming back to Florida NY soon?
There is a scheduled event this month but it's not up state this time
That was nice.
Reminds me of my own driving. When I take off, I put the gas to the floor. Oh, the MC-9 or MC-12...👍
Ricky Webster I do my c2 school bus like that sometime
WOOOOOOOOOO that sound!
What a beast!
that was a nice ride. I love this video.
You were cooking Warren
Because the rear bench and engine cover weren't in place it was extremely loud in this one lmao
awesome
Must be highway geared 1st gear seems long
Its a charter bus

Yes i am
+Warren Crosby You handled this bus like a pro! Mighty Fine Driving! Can this here bus go from 0 to 60?
Bus probably has a max speed in the upper 50s like most V731s
I like that sound of. Bus
2nd gear at nearly 50mph? it must have a really low rear end.

damn right its a 6V92! :D
No Brasil estes ônibus são raros. Tive a oportunidade de passear somente em um até hoje.
omg
We recently received an MCI M9 with EnsignBus based in England not long ago.
Since it's being an MCI M9 I'm not sure if the engine is a 8v or a 6v.
It's a 6V92TA Two Stroke Detroit Diesel engine with HT740 Allison Transmission
This is an excellent video

He fine😍
30 mph zone
60 mph
Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like a T Drive in the V731 Allison Transmission but it's a V Drive though

Eddy is a good friend of mine! He can really tear up some streets.
Is there a schedule of where and when the next one will be? Thanks! i'd give my left arm to see a Classic again!!
No real schedule they just have the events out of the blue! We get like a month or less notice
Warren Crosby Thank you Warren. Have a blessed day.

electronic throttle or air pump? because the response is on point
I believe it's electric
manual more go, less noise.

This bus sounds fucking mean. It wants to eat the road
Thank you for sharing this video btw. This made my day.
3 years late but glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait to drive it again as well. It had some refurbishment work done on it recently.
manye if this bus ever becomes for sale i would by it asap
these buses engine sounds different than the Classics that we have in Canada,
Any recording of the Canadian one?
I think you can find some on here, type classics montreal and you will find a boat load of some
Thats because the Canadian ones have roof exhaust, while the ones here in the US had street exhaust making them more bassy
I remember the 59-xxx and 60-xxx having that sound, also there was the 56-001 in Montreal Canada, having the same sound when they modified it at the end of its service life.
One of yu guys have save NJT novabus from being trashed
This group just re-decaled a flexible into the new NJT scheme
Yea man I was hype to see it tell them to do it to the Eagle & Metro b
I enjoy that bus ride so far.
Patrick Andrew Lebbeney-Bandar
Always wanted an opportunity to take one for a ride just to see what’s like.
The bus group that owns this one has a second one that runs pretty good.
I thought the motor would explode!
The intetesting thing about that motor which is a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke is that you are supposed to rev them high and they are loud.
Where were you? Who's bus?
We was in N.Y and this is one of Thomas rice buses
I really like this bus, because of the way it sounds, and is Eminem the singer on their?
Jeez man. You in a race?? Slow down. Treat the bus, and your passengers with a little respect lol
That sounds like Eminem talking in the video
Turn that damn windshield wiper off.
fucken Classic is loud !!!!!
Loud and powerful eddie LOL!
No engine cover/insulation! Lol
Great video
Not a fan of the foul language but the young man driving is good.
