This Barcalounger Buick Might Be America's Biggest Sleeper
This Barcalounger Buick Might Be America's Biggest Sleeper-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:48

Take one look at this car's interior and try an guess what it'll run in the quarter.

Seriously, look at those pillowy green-on-green guts and try to believe this car will run in the 9s.

Yep, this Buick runs some kind of carb'd version of an LT1 with 400 horsepower on the motor alone (that's good enough to run in the 13s) and about 700 shot with nitrous. This is all recorded at the wheels, of course.

BigKleib34 got video of this car running 9.85 at 133.82.

Not bad for a grandpa car.
