The Barra engine is legendary down in Australia. The 4.0L inline six in a lot of ways is a larger displacement 2JZ in a nutshell. So what happens when Adam LZ had an unfortunate situation with his Voodoo 5.2 V8 in his Shelby GT350? He replaced one insane Ford engine for another. The GT350 is a fast car on its own, but this Barra powered GT350 makes 900HP with 900 foot pounds of torque! Adam is still working out the kinks in the car - which makes this thing even MORE terrifying. This is easily one of the scariest cars I've ever driven, and for good reason.

I'd like to thank my 10 years of experience keeping me on the road on this video.
Seriously. Scariest.Car.Ever.
Lmao
I believe it... my lord. You have to pedal this beast & hold on. It's the bunking bronco of the car world. 1/4 mile in like 8 seconds, provided you can hold on that long. And the vibration, it'll either fix every kink in your body or shake you apart. Astonished parts not falling off this thing. It's just so angry, which scares me. Way to be a trooper by keeping this behemoth on the road. I'd like to think not many would have the skill-set to do so.
You’re a savage for getting into this monster!
Definitely a crazy car!
This car DESPERATELY needs a custom oil pan or something to get that front sway bar installed lol
As an Aussie viewer for years, this is a review I’ve been waiting for from you for years.
And it’s extremely relatable As an xr6 turbo owner.
If you ever make the trip down under, I’ve got a 1000hp, manual fg falcon I’d be more than happy to hand you the keys to. Similar setup to Adams mustang engine wise, but in a full size full weight sedan

YESS!!!!
@@ThatDudeinBlue would be a super dope video man!
Ayyy always loved your car cam, and ThatDudeInBlue. i have a 430hp Single turbo FD when you come over too 😉
Literally one of the coolest engine swaps especially in America. The burn marks make it even cooler
Can’t believe they never brought that motor to the US😭
Australia kept it all to themselves🤨
That's what he said 🤣
@@Got_Boost that's what he said 🤣
Made for taxi's
@@Patrick-oh7rk Not the turbo lol.
I love how well you caught how the Barra just sounds like a angry beast waiting for a chain to break and let loose
This goes to show what a bad ass driver adam is
Yeah seriously though haha
Yeah I remember watching him with Collette going full throttle🤣 Adam is a madman
I honestly hadn't taken Adam completely serious when he said this car was not fun and rather terrifying to drive until now. With how many modified cars you've driven over the years David, it's impressive to see when a car actually gives you a hard time on the street. Now more than ever I really want to see this car finished up and driving proper.
one of the most amazing engines is coyotes and coyote variants. This is a swap for views and clout the same reason emelia hartford just put the big block big blower ford engine in her s550. There is no reason to do a Barra or big block ford when the coyote or its other variations like the voodoo from the gt350 or predator from the gt500 can make loads of power. A Mustang gt or Ford f150 with the coyote can both make up to1200whp and run 7s (mustang gt) 8s f150 with a built trans boost and fuel. They killed the great handling and what makes the gt350. AdamLz wont drive this thing and has actually talked about going back to a v8. Even LS guys are pulling there engines and going coyote. Ford basically perfected the dohc v8 with the coyote. Voodoo is good but to make big power its better to get rid of the fpc . Him and Emilia couldve spent a fraction of the money and made up to 1200whp with no heads no cams no pistons no rods. stock sealed coyote. built with the money this barra and emelias big block costs. you can make up to 2500hp with the factory block that came in this car and Emilias and it would atleast keep what makes these cars without making them a sloppy mess. Look at the fastest Domestic stick H pattern stick shift car. Its a s197 boss mustang that Joel Steele drove to work. Now its the first domestic h pattern car in the 6s in the 1/4 with a factory coyote block. its competitors has billet blocks they swap after every run. auto coyotes go 5s and 6s. Its like a 2 vtech dohc 4 cyl welded together. how can you beat that.
@@carculturenation2166 to be fair, it's not always about the power. I'm not certain what the goal of this build was, but a Barra is by far a less common setup in the states and is therefore sorta neat for just that reason. I'd love to swap an Izusu P'up or something with a 12A or carbed 13B, not because it'd be more powerful but just because it'd be neat.
Again, I'm not certain what he's building this car for, so maybe a Barra makes zero sense in this situation. I'm not sure. Guess my point is just that it's not always about power.
Pity they didnt make it to the states. Id love to have seen how the US aftermarket would have embraced this platform. They have billet alloy barra blocks in Oz now for a smidge over AUD 5k so the barra lives on.
@@carculturenation2166 some people just want something different. The car burned down to the ground and was going to be a rebuilt title anyway. If he throws in a voodoo it’s just a rebuilt title GT350. If he throws in a Coyote it’s just a GT350 with a GT motor. The Barra makes it something unique, which makes it something special.
@@carculturenation2166 being unique is clout chasing?
Everyone needs to flood adams comments to get this thing up and running properly! Love the video!
Yeah the Barra is a massively over engineered iron block str8 6. There are plenty 1500-2000 HP rolling round street driven here in Australia. They are mental but they are registered 🤣🤣
I don't know what this says more about. The Barra, or Straya... I'll just assume it's a bit of both. I once saw a Florida man build a whack burnout car, with a gigantic supercharger top hat... He went to Straya and fit right in.
Now, if you crazy A-holes can accommodate a Florida man? I know ya'll have got a bare minimum of anywhere from a couple, to a few loose screws in the ole dome pieces.
Now, there ain't nothin wrong with that, quite the contrary in fact. I don't care much for a guy who's got all his bolts torqued down to spec. As long as you torque *the right bolts,* that's what matters.
@@danielnelson4881 ha Australia is a country of Florida men mate....we have a lot of loose units that's for sure. It's so bad we have a hooning task force and special laws for using cars inappropriately 🤣🤣🤣. They are ridiculous but there is a small % of hyper loose units who ruined it for the rest of us. The cops use to leave us alone as long as we were somehwere that couldn't cause property damage.
Then people started going a bit crazy and filming all their crazy shite. Caused the governement to step in. So the fact they can get a car with 1500hp registered is a feat unto itself. Lots of "favours" by mates in the industry.
And yes cleetus is always welcome :)
There's tons of videos on here with 1000+hp Barra's running around as well as a video of a 1163whp Barra being tested.
Wait I thought (from mcm) that you can only slightly modify cars in Australia, engine swaps can also only be lightly modified, etc. Then any major build can't get registered. I can't remember which video I got that from but yeah lol.
@@dan_lazaro this is true yes, it is a process that's for sure. You need a modification plate for any major mods you do to the car. So you can engine swap and go crazy with it but you need an engineer to go over it and make sure it's road legal. Once done you get a blue plate that they rivet to the fire wall so it's legal.
There are some guidelines but it also comes down to "favours" being done for these type of cars. I had a 700hp supra with a 2jz swap in it and it was 100% legal but I also knew blokes with absolutely illegal cars that were registered because they knew someone who could fudge the paper work. It's actually a under the table business here in Australia happens a lot.
Our mod laws are stupid, and the police are all mostly clueless so you can get away with it if you hide it well enough.
They are starting to train their officers though but unless you grew up building cars like a lot of us have we know more then they do the majority of the time so we can prepare for the inevitable defect pull over. You just need to hide stuff basically and know someone to fudge all the paperwork like road worthies and engineering certs etc.
Finally someone that was able to properly explain why this car is so unstable.
I never understood why 900HP would be so sketchy on this car.
It’s the 900tq more than anything
he had to remove the sway bar becuase of the oil pan... could he not get one custom made and that would solve his problem.
@@chrisryan9057 Sounds like a problem that dry sump would solve
@@chrisryan9057 the build isn’t done,
@@chrisryan9057 there probably isn't enough room for anything helpful, Barra's are insanely tall motors
Adam casually running out at 4:29 😂
WHO'S STEALING MY CAR!!!
lemme tell u something, Adam has said before that this car scares him, and it really shows, that man whenever is doing a pull, he always ends up lifting mid way,
but David here really did go all out, full throttle, changing gears... You trully have a death wish, huh? That's some balls!
That's still not all our that motor recs over 8500 he's short shifting. I don't blame him
@@hatch450sx3 He was legit bouncing off the rev limiter...
@@hatch450sx3 barras don't rev to 8500, they make peak around 6000-6500. They aren't like a 2j in terms of peak power. And as he said in the video the sweet spot to shift is around 6500 hence why the engine makes peak around 6500.
@@rforracemode5846 I swore Adam said it reved to 8500 when he built it my bad. Hes still a madman for building that beast of a car.
I said to myself that if I didn’t go full throttle for this video I'd never forgive myself 😅
But it really was at a massive risk. I honestly was glad I walked away from this one - not even being dramatic.
Turbo barras are hectic, theres a lot here in aus and seeing an xr6 turbo just glide across the road and disappear into the distance looks almost fake, its a crazy engine. And this is coming from a holden man
I'm a car guy and never have heard of this engine. That being said, holy crap that's the best sound six cylinder I've ever heard
Big in Australia and New Zealand. So common it's used in taxis and such... in naturally aspirated form
Plus adam is a damn perfectionist when it comes to exhaust note
It sounds cool and can make a lot of power, but it is a boat anchor, heavier than a 2JZ 🤪
@@joealex65 Yeaaaa but there's more actual engine being a 4l and being such a chonky engine haha
@@joealex65 it's a massive unit, definitely built for straight line missiles. Wouldn't put this thing in a sports car.
Adam is a great driver and when he would drive this he said it was hard to drive but it didn't look that bad. I didn't understand what he was talking about.
David being a great driver as well and seeing him handle cars with ease over the years, and then getting in this and immediately going "FUCK" with the look of near death having been on his face and then struggle in the next pulls finally made me understand what an untamable beast this car is in its current form.
Mad respect to Adam for the build and David for daring to drive it
Oh Hell Yes!!!! Up the Barra🇦🇺🥵🥵🥵🥵 simply the best inline 6 turbo ever made
oath cuz up the barra🔥🤣🤣
Toyota: the 2JZ is the best inline 6!
Ford Australia: Hold my beer...!
Thank you for putting your life on the line for our entertainment 🤣
This is the only time I’ll ever really be like “yeah I really did risk it all” 😂
@@ThatDudeinBlue Yea bro the look on your face when you were going sideways said it all LOL
I'm gonna say this 1 time..David HAS Serious driver skills..better than what people give him credit for...My respect was earned here today...👍🏽🏁
He drove a v8 twin turbo fd. Over 900hp. That's fucking scary. I drove a detuned 700whp and scared the shit out of me. Atleast the front sway bar kinda worked. But he drifts with it soooo yeah negetive camber at 170mph absolutely terrifying.
I love the sound of an I6. There's something so "precise" and clean about it. It's like the sound of technical expertise or something.
Agree. Inline 6s have the best sound! JZ, RB, Barra all sound so smooth and angry at the same time.
I LOVE how the i6 sounds with the gt300 exhaust
Straight sixes and flat sixes make the best sounds
UP THE MIGHTY BARRA!!🔥🚀
Definitely needs a 315 R on the back, a SS just makes it sketchy. I run without a front sway bar and a skinnier front tire would help a lot.
This
Already been tried and tested. Doesn't work with this car.
These engines are literally Taxi and family car engines in australia , they came in xr6 ba, bf and fg ford falcons, you literally see these everywhere
And Territories too
Coming from an Aussie with a Barra Ute, yes even the falcons do sway and feel a bit to much front grip reference to what you said @10:15 honestly bang on with how it feels even in a falcon Ute
I used to daily my old 500hp Xr6turbo Barra with the ZF 6 speed ... Once it came on boost in low gears it would just fry tyres 😅
Yeah 500hp was more than enough for me, especially in the wet.🤣
This thing is so awesome. And the video is really well done too!
Thanks so much! Easily one of the scariest drives of my life.
4:27 i love how adam just opens the door to find out his car being driven
Since he has access now he needs to make this handle like an RTR with the barra
Suuuper good idea using timestamps through the videos timeline! It's been fun watching this build come to life on LZ's channel! Great review!
So glad you got out to make these videos! Amazing work
Now THIS is what i wanted to watch! Absolute BEAST of a car! Good on you handling that wild Pony! 😁
I love the "chapter" names/captions, lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Been waiting for you to drive this beast ever since you started the videos on Adam's cars. The Barra engine is so sick!
I had to express how I felt 🤣
@@ThatDudeinBlue Lol I know. Looked like a wild ride for sure! I know Adam has been building insane cars for a while now, but idk how he looks so calm/focused when he's ripping this thing.
WAS waiting on you to air this !!!! cant get enough of you and LZ , and LZ cant sell that thing ... its to special after the fire and long history
It's vastly different from the 2j, the only things in common are the inline 6 and turbo but the extra litre capacity as well as the incredible torque capability of the barra makes it significantly better than the 2j
Different? Yes and no, both are super reliable overbuilt I6's that can handle insane Hp amounts on the stock block
even if im a Toyota guy, I totally agree with u
Everything is a 2JZ to Americans. Some even call the OM606 a diesel 2JZ, the B6304 a Swedish 2JZ.
@@gin3648 B6304 is aluminium block, right? Not really built for boost. If you put B2304 heads on a B30, that would be more of a Swedish 2JZ. OM606 I can understand.
Different strokes for different blokes literally
I wish he would do a full RTR kit on it.
Maybe he will? He works for jr now
love what adam did with th car after collete got her toasty. had no idea the front would wander like that. Adams got some skill rippin that thing ....now I'm hoping he can get intouch with someone who can make a custom swaybar out of springsteel and heat treat it properly like on "forged in fire" thatd be rad.... or maybe motion raceworks can make him a custom pan.... or maybe he puts a drysump kit on it and the pan won't be an issue for the sway bar
8:00 I think this is one of the most badass moments I've ever seen on your channel man. Brutal, BRUTAL stuff here, simply awesome. Great work on this video, super cool stuff.
Amazing vid honestly the shakiness of the camera just adds to the enjoyment factor
Since, watching David over the years I’ve learned he swears in the cars that scare him.Hearing him swear like this, I can only imagine how crazy this car must be.😂
Hell yeah. Finally there is love for something other than an v8. But I do love the coyote v8.
I've never seen fear expressed thru body language before.
Kudos on keeping it together.
Love the content David!
Holy COW! I never realized how ridiculous this car really is. DAVID YOU GOT SOME BALLS! Adam doesn’t even rev it out like that.
Geez I wish you could drive an Australian Ford Falcon that this amazing engine was really designed for .. The engine is a game changer to the point that many V8 dedicated guys here in Australia switched to it after experiencing it .. The Falcon from the 2002 BA to the final 2016 FGX had this engine as well as the naturally aspirated Barra .. My XR6 Falcon is one of them and she has the ZF 6 speed sequential option or you can switch to standard auto auto .Even the NA goes really well and like the turbo has really strong low end torque from about 2500 rpm . The turbo goes to another level though...If you ever make it to Australia track down a Falcon with the Barra Turbo ...either a XR6T or an F6 ...unreal cars to drive .. Great video ...
so sick man, started watching back when you lived in VA ( 757 here ) now too see where you are is insane man, keep it up !!! (:
10:30 LMAO that scream...I can feel the sketchiness from here lol
Mad respect for Adam for man handling this thing
So impressed with what adam is doing with the compound and car collection.
Just straight up muscling the car, great content Dude!💪🏽
David’s intros are so well spoken, he doesn’t get the credit i feel like 🤣 Great vid as always!!
Awesome review. One of my favorite cars of Adams
Why doesn't Adam convert it to dry sump and work around the oil pan/ swaybar space limitation?
Probably not a priority for him. He did a dry sump on his FD car and wants to avoid all that work and money on this car maybe?
I love all the different segments on the timeline
Shout out to Collette for allowing us to see this monster be born🙌
Love the video, love from Australia 👌
Really awesome video with that swap!! That thing was dangerous. I wonder if it was hooking or was it spinning out during the hard throttles.
I’m always down to experience most cars if I had the chance but honestly you behind of the wheel of this shit actually gave me anxiety and I’m not even sure if I would want a ride now😂. You have some balls David
You look so angry trying to fight for control in this car….. I love it!
I'm a fan of the reviews that start with the car off. Reminds me of the old videos id watch in class :D
Sheesh, that thing was so swishy, I felt unsafe just watching the footage!
I literally got anxious while editing it.
This is by far was my favorite review. I was laughing alot during this 😂
Ngl as an Australian i got fully chubbed everytime you said barra properly
Damn that's vicious! David you the man. This Reminded me of the time that @regularcarreviews drove a Subaru Impreza RS with a 2JZ swap. Especially the "ROIDS" voice.
Thank you collete for this master piece
All that crying till @8:02 .
He finally put some pants on
LETS GOOO
Also ! It sounded like the motor was breaking up half the video but it’s because he was touching the shifter before shifting . Saw this with Cletus & Adam .
The sound that engine makes an power it puts out love it
This is the car that made me sub to Adam's channel. It's ridiculous and I love it! 😁
Thank you for driving it on the street the way we've all been waiting for Adam to do but he is apparently too scared of it hahaha and I think we all respect him for that even more 🤣🤣🤣
Been waiting for this video haha
Been waiting since Adams video finally
Both of you guys are crazy for making this video :D
With the sound of the sequential trans, that thing honestly sounds like a demon trying to pull you down to hell! It's insane! Also, Adam coming out right when you took off was funny xD
I’ve been waiting for this review…yeah, I think this is a first seeing a car get the best of you!
9:45 you know this is a scary car when David curses. I’ve never heard him curse so much
The Barra is great for racing particularly Drag and Drift as you can destroke it and increase the rpm’s considerably. They are also great for a swap in a 4WD for off-roading particularly going up sand dunes etc.
Stock stroke is still fine up to 8000rpm, albeit it might be better to upgrade the rods.
Damn, Entire driving experience sounds like a wicked dental appointment 🦷
The thing I like about that engine is it has its own exhaust note that is legendary too. So amazing
Welcome to Australia mate
I was waiting for this
Bruh. This is wild! The camera is vibrating like crazy
I love this crossover
When he revved the engine to pull off Adam walked out like “babe someone’s driving off in the Barra!”🤣
my barra had alot of rev hang when i first built the car and got it tuned this was a while ago pretty sure it was a tuning issue with the vct doesn't happen anymore after a tune retune definitely worth looking into i think i dont know if adam did the vct delete or not but if you haven't then look into it
lmao adam walkin out with the camera dope asf good ass video 👍
7:25 Now you know why Stangs are so HUNGRY for CROWDS! 🌴🤣
That looks like a death machine. Thank you for having the balls to drive this bad beast!
Best engine of all time
Went to FD Atlanta (on my birthday!) Last year. We sat right by the start line and I remember hearing that thunk think from the sequentials.
The sounds of this thing 🔥💯
Awsome build barra the world i own barra myself it n/a atm but love it
Barra engines sound SO damn cool! That car is nuts and it has such a cool (or rather, hot) story behind it!
He seem very Scared😂😂 great video 10/10 love it
I love the fact that you can see him concentrating to drive the car lol
your face when you accelerate is amazing
I love all your spirit in this video! I MISS YOU BUDDY! I'll see you in NOV 😎
Jesus!! I’ve never been more terrified watching a car review before😳 You’ve gotta have balls big enough to roll around in a wheelbarrow to drive that thing!!🤣🤣🤣 awesome!!🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥
Down in Australia my mate had a Falcon XR6 with a Barra turbo the thing could pull 10s at the quarter.Scary to be in but loads of fun as well.
Awesome 🔥
I love my Barra, I don't think anything pulls as hard as a Barra powered car, love the video dude, you should get a Barra yourself
Such a scary car. Imagine when it had the auto trans and basically had it mind of its own hahah
Had my xr6t ute since brand new 2008. Gave it a birthday a couple years ago -respray, new slightly bigger intercooler kit full stainless exhaust turbo back upgraded the throttle body piping and a set 1000cc injectors the ole falcon gets up and boogies with around 400bhp at the wheels
My first barra was a BA1 xr6t 03 bought it for $39k. It was a snappy little ute 4 speed BTR box it was fun chirping it 1st to 2nd flat in auto. A shame they stopped making the XR6T in 2016 205k klms on the FG and I’ll get another 200k plus
I had an XR6 Turbo (BA) and it was great, such a fantastic noise and hooked up so well. Now i've got an HSV LSA clubsport wagon
so you downgraded then? haha
