[@grantklopfer1384]

The Bricklin, being a '75 with the Ford 351W only had 175hp, whereas the early '74s had a 220hp AMC 360. If you had one of the 150 or so Bricklins with a stick, I think the results of the drag race would be different.

[@smirkingdevil]

A guy living in the apartment complex across from my townhouse complex owns a Bricklin and I always smile when he takes it out. Very unique vehicle.

[@bricklinhh3481]

I think you need to drive my Bricklin. There's something wrong with that one if it can't outrun a Delorean. The Bricklin was tested by Autoweek and it outperformed the 1975 Corvette in acceleration handling and breaking. Most Bricklins have been fitted with faster more reliable air powered doors and air powered headlights. That's the problem with all original Bricklins they need a few upgrades to make them a car you can drive all day. The upgrades don't take away from the originality it just makes them better. Once again I invite you to drive my Bricklin. 😎

I may stand alone here -- but I'd say the Bricklin was clearly ahead of its time in terms of styling.

[@foskco87]

Way ahead of its time. You look at some of the other cars coming out in the early-mid 70's and it's easy to see why people initially went nuts over the Bricklin. It's also hard to not atleast respect their attempts at innovation, not just with styling but with the safety measures and the acrylic body. Unfortunately with innovation comes significant risk and in this case it didn't work out.

[@ThePuffin77]

[@ryanhenderson4686]

The Bricklin was manufactured in my hometown of Saint John New Brunswick in Canada. The issues wire the pop up head lights and the doors failing (those doors were heavy). They would barely make a dent and destroy another car. but if you were in an emergency situation, who couldn't escape. The company went bankrupted, but I love how they could hold up in an accident.

My dad briefly had an early Bricklin with the AMC 360 engine, and loved that car. He came from a Chevy family and was able to compare it to a 327 powered early C3 Corvette, and says the Bricklin was much faster. Unfortunately most Bricklins were later models with emissions-choked engines and that meant it never could get a reputation for performance.

[@muskokamike127]

Regarding the Bricklin: I don't care what anyone says, that body style is STILL relevant today. With a proper engine and transmission and modern tech it would be a great car....

[@foskco87]

@@davet231 All of your observations are correct and intelligent - I am not going to argue this just because I'm a troll on the internet. My father met Malcolm Bricklin long ago when he was (going to) buy one of the cars. I also did contract I.T. work for a guy who did contract engineering work for Bricklin. That engineer said that the team originally proposed the torsion bar setup, but that team was a room full of intelligent people who immediately said "What if it rolls over?". John Delorean was in a room of rich a-holes who just said "That's tubular!" and then sneezed coke all over the drawings. (It's a funny tale, of course but that's what I learned) But yes, you are correct - the system wasn't so great that it would actually address these issues. If it were that great, it would be part of the sales brochure.

I have a mechanic whose bread and butter is Volvos. Imagine my surprise when one day he had a DeLorean on the lift, but upon reflexion it made sense since it uses the same engine as the Volvo 760 (plus he likes working on unusual cars and the DeLorean has the advantage that all parts are readily available). Regarding the Bricklin, when I was in high school in Montreal in the mid-70s, one of our teachers drove a Peugeot which wasn't particularly reliable as a result of which she would every so often get a lift from her brother, a well-known journalist and man-about-town, in his brand-new Bricklin.

The Bricklin is just one of the craziest car stories around--start to finish. A particularly sad story for the entire entity of New Brunswick.

[@DUCKSAREEVILLLLLLLL]

For 1975, it wasn't bad, considering their resources. GM was the largest and wealthiest car maker by far, yet they still produced the Chevy Vega, which had a sleeveless aluminum block and iron heads, and no coolant recovery tank, so coolant was just expelled to the ground when the engine got hot. The result was predictable. Despite the extremely low production numbers, I wouldn't be surprised that in a few decades from now, there will be more Bricklin survivors than Vega survivors.

As a owner of a Bricklin, I don't know why the one shown here is slow? mine is a 1976 and is smogged out with a single exhaust and a catalytic converter, but moves out better than the orange one on here. I know a club member who owns both a Bricklin and DeLorean and says his Brick will outrun his DeLorean any day. I will have to dig in and make more videos of mine! they are awesome cars. built on its own chassis the Bricklin has AMC Hornet front suspension, rear gremlin. so its 70's tech at best. the 1974 came with a AMC 360 V8 with either a 4sp Borg Warner Manual, or a Chrysler 727 Transmission. The 75/76 came with the Ford 351 Windsor and the FMX Ford Automatic. It did compete with the Corvette of the day, also many owners converted the doors to air, so they are much faster and smoother.

@@AdrianMcDaid At least you know you're separate. I feel for the North honestly. It's like a problem child no one wants. Britain clearly thinks less of it than the mainland and for the Republic it'd just be headache to deal with. National pride is absurd though, pride should be reserved for shit you've actually done and achieved, but that's a topic for another day perhaps.

[@justinfincher2385]

I’m amazed that you were able to not only pull strings to drag race these two cars, but have a special guest walk on from Harry styles!

[@mikew9096]

I don't care what people think. The Bricklin is a cool car and looks nice. Drop in a crate engine and you have a sweet ride.

I remember seeing acres of DeLorean‘s parked in a lot in New Jersey ready to be sold for $13,000. I wish I would’ve bought one.

And this is why I love this channel.

[@DJzSith]

I actually saw a SV 1. It too thought it was a kit car and imagined a light nimble lotus like driving experience since it looked so sporty.

[@huangwilliam428]

When this baby hits 88 MPH, you're gonna see some serious shit.
