Lame Off: 1972 Nova vs 1977 Olds Omega. Which Nasty Example Is The Lamest?


Lame Off: 1972 Nova vs 1977 Olds Omega. Which Nasty Example Is The Lamest?

The guys at Holley are awesome! When they decide to do something fun, they don’t mess around. So what the hell is a Lame Off? Take one 4 door 1972 Nova and one two door but still horrible 1977 Oldsmobile Omega, and put them through their paces to see which one sucks the most. And when done, take the least lame of the two and do a complete LS Swap. What do you think? We think it’s pure genius and wish we were there to play along. There have been 4 episodes so far, and you can watch them all below.

Inching closer in their quest to find the answer to the eternal question – what’s lamer, a beat-to-hell 1972 Chevy Nova or waaaaay-past-its-prime ’77 Oldsmobile Omega? – “Gnasty Gnome” Keith Jesse and “Superfresh” Michael Seymour attempted to lay down some rubber at Beech Bend Raceway Park. Both got behind the wheel of both cars, and one machine actually managed to smoke the tires. A little. Which one? Hit the play button and find out. The least-lame of the two will get a complete LS swap, hopefully run nine-second times in the quarter-mile, and actually end up being pretty cool hot rod.

    You all need help to the fullest. Stop treating auto\’s from another era like that. neither car was as, you call it lame. they are both from the general motors brand. which the way made some really fantastic car\’s. i had a 59 olds ninety eight. really grand of a car.

    Lameness like beauty is in the eye of the beholder…. With the right kind of luv and application anything from the 70\’s or early 80\’s has hidden cool you just need to let it flow like true cool always will

    The 4-door x-bodies may be lame but make very good sleepers! Check it was fun driving my Caprices and fooling more than a few people!
