I won't argue, Frankie's G Body is SICK!
For a new series, this was awesome and I imagine it’ll only get better. And I think you chose the right car.
Brother, stop making this show even better! It’s bad enough I go down the rabbit hole with the regular content; now this!!! I love it😅and agree with the pick!!!!
Lol!! Thanks for the comment and really glad you like this new addition to the channel cause they’re fun to make. More to come!
I’ve said it before. Frankie’s car is like no other car. A total package of all types of racing in one. Plus I’ve yet to see you go from smiling to fear in a second. I’ve watched that video at least 20 times. I’ve sent it to many of my friends who loved it. My favorite car of all time. Keep up the great work.
Your facial expressions in the grey car is priceless! That car is similar to what I would go for if I were to build a G body, but with about half of the horsepower! I don't race, I would just want it as something fun to drive. I also really like the new series!
BOTH are so sick. Frank's setup is my favorite. I just love that V8 and trans. Just watching it makes you feel alive. The sound and style is just amazing.
You made the right choice as always brother. Your show is a show we been needing for years No one can do it better. YOU ARE AUTOTOPIALA never change
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback 👊
I just like the early 80s body styling.
🌟
Chevy Citation and Celebrity (pops owned both), Ford Tempo, Nissan Stanza, AMC Kummqwat, Skylark, were great looking cars... Not. I think the 80s had some of the ugliest cars. There was no imagination. Everyone went stale after the gas crisis and played it safe for all the vanilla people.
They got it right back then 💯 not like now when everything is electronic cattle. They can never replace the early to mid 80's G-bodies!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes on the new series. And yes I agree with you on Frankie's ride instant torque and power everywhere 🏁
Thanks for the input and yep…both badass but damn Frankie’s beast is insane!
Not only does Frankie's G Body Win but is the BADDEST Car that this show has ever had!!!
It’s an incredible build and violent beyond description
I love this channel and new series. These are both such badass builds. I slightly like the black g body a little more than the grey car. We don’t get to see enough g body cars, so this was a treat. You guys are 🔥.
Thanks for the comment. Both are total badass rides
No difference in opinion here Shawn, they’re both super impressive builds. I absolutely love the fact that the first one has a V6 and is running 1000 horsies and all that feel of original interior, but the 2nd one with the stance, the sound and that killer all around performance, that says everything. Absolutely loved this video!!
Frankie for sure, a straight BEAST!
I LOVE this new series!! I, also, would've chosen the P2 Fab. The 1st G-body's unexciting exhaust note was a serious downer for me. Great it you want a sleeper but, not for me. If I'm making 1,000 hp, dammit, I want it to sound like I'm making 1,000 hp. Keep up the awesome vids brother.
Exhaust and sequential trans sound sinister. Pulls straight without typical G body shuffle. Turbo T for the win! Safe to say both Buicks truly deserved a second video.
Both are really top quality but I’m with you on P2 for the win
I LOVE this new series & I think you picked the right car. Bad assness over creature comforts ANY DAY!
Thank you. I love creature comforts but damn…gotta go with Frankie’s beast
AWESOME SERIES SHAWN!!!! As a 1987 Buick Grand National owner I’m definitely going with #1 GN!!!😎👍🏁 but the 2nd one is Awesome too that SuperCharged LS when he starts it,it sounds like a samurai sword coming out of its holster😬to be honest with you I would love to have both😁BEST OF BOTH WORLDS👍👍
Thanks for the input and yep…both are completely badass
This new series is cool !! Looking forward to more of it for sure.
I’m making the same choice, Frankie’s car is f***ing insane ! I’m a Ford fan but the episode of his car may be your best episode to date ( Dave’s 66 fastback is right there with it) I just love how he rips on it and the thing is just a monster ! The other Gbody is sick as well but ya just can’t beat the sound of a supercharged V8 🔥🔥
We definitely have the same taste
Already I’m gonna love this series. I would take the P2 Fab Buick. Not a huge fan of sequentials but it’s better than automatics imo
I love the series, and totally agree with you on your pick. I prefer a car that can not only go straight, but bite into those turns. And it’s just a ferocious monster to boot.
Awesome! Thanks for the input and yeah…hard to be Frankie’s Buick
Great new series 🤘😎🤘
Frankies get's my GRIN FOR THE WIN!🧨
Love this ride and how aggressive it is.But saying this they are both beautiful rides.
Keep up the great material AUTOTOPIALA ❤️🇦🇺
The episode with Frankie is one of my favorites! The look on your face when he accelerates is priceless! :) Good Choice!
I'm a purest, so I'll have to go with Jeremy's GN on this one. I have a 2019 Scat Pack stock appearance but some extra performance mods. Nice idea with the this Shawn....looking forward to a Mopar showdown. Cheers and Happy New Year to the AutotopiaLA crew.
No power no par 🤣
Man, I love this new series! I was in cold sweats trying to decide which 1 to pick, because I just love the old school G body look, feel, & streetable interior. But I had to pick the P2 Fab because of all of the glorious sounds it makes.
You legit looked worried for a minute in that sequential car, dude. It wins for me. New format is cool, as long as the o.g vids are gonna continue. Stay safe man
OG vids still coming just tho if not this was a fun addition so now you’re getting both. And yeah…Frankie’s car is pure intensity
Frankie's G Body is just right in every way! 🏆
Would be nice to have Jeremy's engine, transmission, and interior in Frankie's chassis.... Just a thought. Both cars are super impressive.
Interesting mash up there for sure
Two amazing machines! 🙌🏼
No doubt about it
Like this series! Can’t wait for more
My parents had a 1980 regal. A friend had a 81. Miss that car. That body style is one of the best. Like that first one better with the V6 turbo. 😎🔥🔥🔥♥♠
Looking forward to seeing more for the win videos. Frankie's is my #1 choice of all your content on this channel. The gearbox has a huge influence on that choice.
That sequential is so badass!
Love the new series. Frankie's car is just a BEAST!!!!
Frankie's car is my choice! It's my favorite Autotopia car shown on the series!!!
Same for me. We’re gonna do a different one each week showing some of the crazy rides of past
Yep, I agree. I love the first one for the history of it, but nuthin beats the sound of a V-8. The new series is awesome, keep em comin😎
Series is definitely dope. LS G body all the way! Probably my favorite episode yinz ever did!
Love this series. I would pick the same one you did. Thanks for sharing!
The look on your face Shawn, priceless! lol
Glad you like the series. It’ll be fun doing comparisons of multiple vehicles. Definitely gets the “oh shit” face happening!
Shawn’s reactions are priceless. I was gonna comment that the LS equipped one was sacrilegious before I watched but then I watched. That car is just killer
I’ll tell you what I’ve been liking the shorts you guys have been posting I wish you would post hundreds and hundreds of shorts. Sometimes I want to see just a bunch of cool cars with cool music to get me hyped up to go drive.
Thanks for the input. We’re gonna put together a new compilation next week just to see/hear cars and some music to get the blood pumping!
P2 Regal hands down. Love the new series.
This is an awesome series and I hope you make more videos like this. Zero Fuck for the win for me. That’s probably one of the craziest cars I’ve ever seen.
As a huge fan of the original Autotopia series of featuring cool ass cars, the new series is a cool new direction. I too would select Frankie G’s t-type. It’s a beast of a car and it’s probably easier to add the creature comforts to that car.
Thanks. And we’ll still do what we’ve always done while adding this new series to the channel. Both cars are brutal beasts
1) Love the new series!!
2) im with you on the pick for the win
3) ur sitting in front of a Ferrari Testarossa (holy shit!) talk about iconic
4) happy New Year dude!
Awesome! Glad you like it. An F40 just came into the shop as well…🤤 Happy New Year bro!!
What an insane launch at 10:00! Great shootout!
I like frankies the best. I love the way it sits. I like the wider tires in the front. And i love the versatility it offers. Thumbs up for win series.
Thanks for the input and they’re both killer builds but man I love Frankie’s car!
Yes on the new series! Love new ideas. It’s like a new song you heard that has an awesome hook. Nailed it bub! Btw love both of these animals! Either one is 0-Jail in 2.2 seconds! I’m in!
Love the comment and thanks for the input! Gonna keep these coming along with new rides every week
YOUR REACTIONS IN THE SECOND CAR WERE PRICELESS 💲💪🏼💨💨💨 GREAT VLOG MAN
I love this series. Keep them coming.
Awesome…more coming and I’m confident we’ll keep honing and making them better
I am tempted to say they are both too much, but like you I would go with the second one. I love corners and stopping.
Same for me. Both have tons of power but I love the set up of Frankie’s car
Don’t mind the new series, even tho it’s not new footage, I like how you still took time to give fresh opinion on the cars rather than just do a highlight reel. I’ll stick with 1st g-body 6 cylinder monster only cause it varies the period correct engine.
One of my favorite episode was that grey g body. It's just brutal, love that car.
It’s pure evil and I love it!
Preach! Frankie's G Body is a visceral monster! Smiles per gallon indeed! Great new series! Looking forward to more.
Frankie's LS G-body all day. I like the series!
I’m digging the new series. These cars are polar opposites, yet equally badass! Great handling and 8 cylinders does it for me. I love what you and the crew do Shawn 🤘🏽
Thanks for the input Gabe! Hoping this new series catches on cause we have so many cool comparisons to show
Traditional G body styling is nice. And then you got the all out Zero fucks given racer. That's what I love about the individuality and creativeness in builds. But hands down for me I love to hear that LS rumble especially with a power adder behind it. Chef's kiss!!!
You definitely made the right choice! I love watching autotopiala! 👍🏻👍🏻🤙🏻
100% Love the sequential gear box and torque of the Maggie!
Same for me!
I tried to buy a 1987 Grand National when I was 21, but $27,000 CDN at that time was too steep. Still my favourite turbo v6 off all time!
Both of these rides are sick AF. Why would you make us choose Sean? I'll turn on zero f*cks mode and take both of these.
Both are badass, and while I love the turbo 6 build, I'd go with Frankie's car just based on how the total package was built and it is more of an all around car vs just straight line. Love the new series, keep it up!
Frankie whip is #1 in the autotopia series 👊
This is hands down my favorite car channel.
I fully agree with your summary and 100% agree with your winner. The grey one rocks. Wish it has a semi normal interior 🤔
Excellent series supercharger baby All the way glad you're still here with us doing this thanks
Like the series
I chose the black Grand National because it looks great, and I love the interior.
Awesome! I know there’ll be lots of traditional picks here
"No Lift Shifts"! 🤣They are both "Sleepers", because NO-ONE is expecting a V6 to be putting out that much HP & Boost & still stay together! I agree with you here, the Blown LS w/ the "No Lift Shifts" is the one I'd choose too! Great Idea for a New Series! 👍
Although that V8 Regal is sick af, I'm a GN owner and love that V6 sound and it's built really great... Love the drag setup.... Just like mine too.
Very different builds here and I think they’re both great
My all time favourite Shawn just love the look and power thanks for posting
Thanks Wade…Frankie’s car is next level all the way!
This series is Awesome!! And I agree with you. I would also choose car number 2.
Thanks for the input! Definitely the gray beast
I love the new series. Great idea. I love both of Buick's, but my vote goes to Oliver & Sons car. Happy New year 👍🇵🇹
They’re definitely both great build! Happy New Year to you as well!
GREAT VIDEO SHAWN!!! YES!!! I LOVE THE NEW FORMAT. I LOVE BOTH BUICKS!!!! BOTH ARE BADASS!!!
Thanks and yep…both are very cool builds!
Jeremy FTW! 1,000 hp with the original set up!
It’s a beast!
1, Yes I love the new format (enjoy all your videos) and it had me laughing in a few spots with the reactions to the acceleration.
2, I have to go with the Blown V8 for the win - simply because of the exhaust note and absolute rawness and look. But heck the V6 Turbo was only a whisker behind!
Thanks for bringing us this content guys!!
Frankie's G body is one BadAss asphalt shredder by far. Great series Shawn, keep up the great content.
I agree totally. The racecar wins all day imo. You want air? Go faster. Gotta get to the store quickly? Turn traction to 100 and floor it!
Love the new content idea. Helps with recaps and can lead to bigger ideas. Possibly take the winners of each and do a series to get the best?? Thoughts??
Love the new series Shawn and A-team. Your content is always on topic and w/out extemporaneous drama and BS. Keep at it brother and thank you for the fantastic content in both series. I agree 1000% on your pick and was LMFAO with your facial expressions. Real, authentic enthusiasm for the cars…love it!
I would be proud to own either. However, a baby between the two, put the GN 6 pot into the T-type; that's my fave.
Thanks Shawn.👍
Cool approach
The dog ring engagement, 0 fucks given, silver Buick is the most violent ride I've ever seen. I love all the raw metal work in the car and in the engine bay. They are both beast G bodies in their own right.
They are both great builds without question
Frankies G hands down overkill massive HP great series for the win!!!!!
Love the new series Shawn! This comparison, hands down one of your best and my favorite. When you are left mumbling and rendered speechless because of excessive smiles, then I know the car is bada$$. And I'll take Frankie's G body too!
Cool new series, I love the black 1, comfort!!!
Thanks for the input and comment. Helps to know it’s being well received on this first episode
Love the new series and I'm with you on Frankie's G body. That thing is just pure awesome!
Yes I Love the New Series..Keep em Coming!
Thanks and more coming!
I'm digging this series. It brings us back to some great cars... and puts two "similar" cars (or trucks) against each other. This is really a hard decision. I love them both for different reasons. But I think I'm going black... simply because he stayed true to the Buick heritage. Everyone is putting an LS into everything. I'm not knocking the LS... it's an awesome engine that you can build a 1,000 ways... and the sound! I'm building a 50 Buick with a 455 in it... so I might be a little biased. Stay safe, buckle up!
I have no idea why g-body fans would dislike the gray T-Type. Ya, the 3800 Series 2 is gone… not by the owner’s choice necessarily… but this build more suits the owner’s usage of the car. Waiting for a turbo to spool while trying to power out of a turn is going to make for slow lap times. In an autoX it may never build boost. Doesn’t make sense to have that engine. Plus, as cool as the black car is, that 3800 makes a sound that’s hard to love.
I think this series is definitely worth adding to & keeping on the channel cause not only does it allow you to geek out on content you've shot but it also gives you a reason to talk about the pros & cons you find within the 2 cars you're deciding to pit against each other. Plus, allowing the viewers to participate in it is equally fun & worth while. I too would pick Frankie's G-Body cause as much as I love the OG velour interior, having the power & necessary track spec upgrades/security makes it both fun & safe.
I love this new series! Can’t wait to see more!
Frankies G-body for sure, that thing is a monster. Great series, keep up the great videos.
I totally agree with your choice and I love the new series.
I like the new concept. I go for car number one, because it is the most original. But I like Frankie his car a lot too. Both are incredible builds with a clear vision.
-Love the new series Sean
-Frankie’s car for me mate 💪🏻
Thanks for the input and yep…both are great but Frankie For the Win!
Love the G body you picked !!your face says it all!!!
Really cool Series…. And The right Pick 👌
Love the new series. I would also pick Frankie’s!
I like the new series. I like both G bodies for the same reasons. And my winning choice was the same. Had the Black GN been running normal tires versus drag radials and skinnies, I might have gone that way.
I AGREE BRO! I TOO WOULD PICK THE GREY ONE
Hard to pass that one
I like the new series I will choose orignal Grand National I'm just a huge fan of the originality of it and man you just can't beat that 3.8 Turbo unique sound it's also my dream build🙋🏾♂️
Both are such cool builds. That V6 is insane!
Cool series and the 2nd one for the win. Love that car.
Thanks for the input. And yes on Frankie’s. Both are beasts but his car is wow!!
The LS powered one needs GNX flares and vents. They're both gorgeous and equally badass.
They’re both total beasts for sure
I like the new series. I also agree with your pick.
That car is probably my favorite shoot you have done. I'm a Camaro guy you know that but this car is just fucking insane
It really is next level in every way
