The Unstoppable Omni! - Forza Motorsport

We go racing on Forza Motorsport using a selection of C Class American cars, and while a lot of classic muscle cars turn up i go down a different route with a dodge omni.

Wow, zero regrets from Alex shoving off my Camaro 😂

[@thomascortes968]

I thought the little shove from Gliscor just before was a bit much and then Alex proceeds to send it into the side of everyone like they owe him money.

[@demoths]

​@@thomascortes968I often think gliscor learned to race from watching Dale Sr drive. And apparently Alex learned to race from watching Gliscor 😂😂

[@hammersti3n540]

should have used a Bricklin SV-1

[@campervanman5340]

Maybe in the dry a thinner front tyre might help, sounds like the car was maybe trying to rotate around the front tyres power on or off.

[@longbowxmkii]

@@hammersti3n540 I would have if it was in the game x)

[@beardedgearhead1327]

Alex :"This thing is an oversteery deathtrap." The Omni: "Here's a little lesson in trickery."

[@wangonguy62]

Tuning is so important in this game. You spent the time tuning and it shows. Great racing.

[@Eric-tg9ss]

Alex, the wet promotes some understeer that is helping to quell some of that oversteer mid corner. slightly skinnier tires up front will mimic a similar effect in the dry.

[@BubboPants]

I shared a 5-speed Dodge Omni with my sister in high school in the early 90's. Nothing special about it, but it was fun to learn driving on. In the U.S., where manual transmissions are especially and increasingly rare, it led to a lifetime of preferring and enjoying them for the feeling of greater control of the vehicle and connection with the road. My fifth manual now is a 6-speed, and it still feels just right.

[@nikkob1252]

There should be a series where after a while they bring back the cars that have managed to win all of the races in their respective videos and see which one is the best of the best

[@edwardburek1717]

Alex before the series of races: I'm no tuning expert... Alex after the series of races: I AM A TUNING GOD!!! That Dodge Omni is a very rapid machine, it must be said. One of only two hatchbacks to completely monster a Ferrari (the other being the MG Maestro Turbo). Having said that, it was probably a Ferrari Mondial, but still - that's how you tune up what is essentially an American Talbot Horizon.

[@Karthos1000]

Wherein Alex discovers the power of tuning.

[@appletree13]

Odd to see only some of the folks from the regular filming crew in this one. Was pretty fun to see some driving styles we hadn't seen before! Spoilers: And the TRIPLE win for our favourite commentator! The power of tuning strikes again.

[@moogie38]

Who knew a Talbot Horizon could go that fast !

[@edwardburek1717]

It's virtually a Sunbeam Lotus, but with two extra doors.

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

Omniman wants to know your location. You have his car.

[@robertordewald8678]

The Omni Shelby GLH was a surprisingly fast car. The car at first was a knockoff of the Goll/Rabbit. Iì worked at a Chrsler/Plymouth/Dodge dealership when they were introduced. The first ones had a VW based 4 cylinder engine using a carburetor. They then got a throttle body Fuel injection. They were OK cars. I did like the Colt with the 2 speed overdrive manual transmission. You ended up with a 8 or 10 speed transmission that was a blast to drive, As always, Thank You for the show........ thanks again, Bob from Virginia USA!

[@mikeakamiky7245]

alex and crew, try one of these events where u have to make one mandatory pit stop for fuel. (so all cars must start each race with no more than 4 laps of fuel) do any of u except this challenge

[@coffeeaddict8712]

Mustang was better at lime rock but got taken out a couple of times and got stuck in traffic that race was a bust. At laguna it was even better imo, but battled with Russkiy, Ninetales and at the end also Glis, but could do mid 1:39 probably at least. What happened at Laguna 1st corner was that I got a tag from Ewan and went sideways into the 2nd apex. Wasn't the cleanest rejoin, but luckily didn't murder anyone.

[@brantnuttall]

well, will you look at that! Alex is quite a fast driver!

[@vermin1970]

I had one of these in real life, car weighed 2350 pounds. With only 300 hp it ran 12.7 @ 113 mph with crummy 2.0 60ft time. Car became a legend around here, people still remember it 25 years later.

[@jjjacer]

wow a racing game with a K platform car (pretty much all mid 80s-90s FWD mopars, 2.2/2.5l 4/cyl NA, Turbo or DOHC Turbo - Spirit R/T, 3.0 v6 and 3.3l v6 for larger cars and vans choices of 3 speed auto, 4 speed a604 auto, or the 5 speed manual)

[@ConnorHammond]

Good shit! Great little car. I've learnt, IRL, that FWD is great in the lower end racing cats. The handling will serve you so well. Moving up in classes, you very much need a sorted chassis to compete with the sheer power and downforce.

[@majesticraccoon17]

And my podium faded before me there 😂😂

[@thedyingmeme6]

Oh noo, poor Maj!!!

[@barrackb0325]

Need to drive the Omni in ALL4. Launches like a monster, handles like a steak knife, and is smooth like bacon grease.

[@MikeyKaos716]

Alex at Homestead-Miami amuses me. The time he goes through the final corner the best are the times he thinks he didn't get it right. You want to be to the left side of the racing groove there. The right side of the track limits is the end of the transition from the oval track turn 4 to the straightaway. Further left is a smoother transition to the straightaway. I wish Forza would use both road course layouts (turns 3 and 4 of the oval instead of that last section is the other one) because that seems like it would make turn 1 so different (more speed into the corner). But those we're a couple good to watch. Sorry, the Lime Rock runaway wasn't exciting, but at least we got to hear Alex logic when it comes to racing games, so that's a win.

[@MikeAJGriffin]

Alex went full Max Verstappen in this session, even with some of the overtakes.

[@MrSNAKEBITE666]

That was some fine driving there m8 well done 👍

[@swordmonkey6635]

Alex, it was nice that you took your overly nice apologetic side away and raced elbows out on the second race. You're a better race car driver when you're more aggressive. I know it's not your style, but it's true.

[@longbowxmkii]

I don't want to be raced by this Alex 😅

[@danielhomant2832]

I had both a Horizon, and then an Omni in real life. Very fun little ripper and absolutely underrated. An American Tuner/ricer/hot hatch before it was a thing.

[@gsprings43]

can imagine that daytona driver watching you hunt him down in that omni

[@blackpinkbarn]

Nice hat trick.

[@clbiel99212]

“ The Omni: Be there!”

[@MrNut1980]

I love oddball cars. The Shelby Omni GHLS "Goes Like Hell Some". Carroll Shelby took some crap cars and made them pretty amazing.

[@plmelody1276]

I used to be that muscle car in a fwd race filled with corners, going sideways with every swipe, being a really big big mustang rushing off on the tiny straights, pissing off them Nissan fwd who are meta :’) peeps thought I hack :s (W.NFS)

[@plmelody1276]

Loving it ~

[@user-ps9gp9py2j]

Chrysler-Plymouth Horizon/Dodge Omni was a "reverse engineered" VW Golf/Rabbit. It wasn't a bad car at the time.

[@MrMizz007]

That GLH omg what a beast

[@mrmcbaldspot]

An Omni with a triple win. Did Hell freeze over?

[@andipajeroking]

You guys really like this game.

[@Renzsu]

I guess it's fun if you're in a private lobby with people that behave

[@ryankos7439]

you guys should do that racing series that was in the 60s? (idk what it’s called) where they race the massive american boats like old mustangs and other muscle cars of that period against the little european cars like an anglia or mini cooper or escort of anything like those

[@unluckyabsol4995]

Loved my trans am, not blisteringly fast but just pleasant to drive and decent paced. Solid performance and Lime Rock and homestead, got ensnared in battles and traffic in both races so never got a clean air lap in sadly, so no idea how fast it could’ve run. It was hard to get passes pulled off at homestead behind the wall of monte carlos since my trans an was lacking power but was a very fun race.

[@chrisbailey4292]

Yeah I've got a fast Omni and had no issues with oversteer,then again I've only tested around 1 track, the Pontiac 90s trans am is also fast and would keep up.. or at least the one I have is faster than the Omni

[@walterroche8192]

That Shelby Omni is as slow as hell (nerfed build). I had the tier under that edition and it's ONLY problem was it's bad shift linkage(broken like glass). No Redline 9,000 Tachometer and 100 mph was easy, though DON'T the front hood buckles at that speed... STUPID stable in all seasons. Got it 2nd hand, and someone put 215/55's on the front and it could burn out in 3 gears... Good mileage too!

[@MisterUnconcerned]

Nice little machine there. How a bout a vid where everyone has to use it on the same tracks?

[@ollie7117]

I think slightly shorted ears would’ve helped

[@IwishIwasCrazy]

That must be a GLH 😏

[@BlitzBlazek]

Or a glhs

[@kudos2u169]

An S class race with upgraded E-D class cars would be awesome! Fighting wheelspin is so much fun. Great racing & tuning!

[@DrakeGamer85]

_"Tonight, we are racing some classic Amerrican cars, so watch out for those Yanks!! In any case, watch on to see:_ 12:51 _"An idiot Cobra ploughes into a corner._ 23:59 _"A sign goes for a flight._ 17:40 _"And Alex tries to nerf Ewan's Shelby."_

[@user-ik4gw6oe3w]

never heard so many excuses for not being in 'clean air', deal with it!

[@AnthonyVai]

I wanna make this league style in real life… Alex can we talk.

[@djpoopypants4741]

Glh?

[@nikobido598]

that sucks for longbow

[@pktrsho6055]

Mine was so terrible that I had to make it AWD

[@WrightBrosRC]

I don't think the complaint about the braking zone of the car in front of you is valid. You shouldn't jam your nose in the braking zone of the car in front of you and expect good results. How dare they slow down in an inconvenient place? Interfering with YOUR line and all... the nerve.

[@thatothercarguy8914]

corvette sucked. that’s all I have to say

[@lionpro73]

Video 34 of asking Alex to play trackmania until he does

[@RustyTolar]

First. Who cares? Me. Never have been before.
