I Bought the Most INSANE Street Car Ever... DESTROYED My Best Laps Around the Freedom Factory!!! 

That's right! If you spend over $75 on www.summitracing.com and use code CLEETUS at checkout, get a free PPV ticket to watch the Freedom 500!!!

LeRoy looking at it like “I shall call him…..mini me” 😂😂😂

I had a blast working on this car!!!! And I am so happy you guys have it. I installed all the aftermarket parts but the best part was driving it

Has anyone noticed that Cleetus, George, and James are basically the Trailer Park Boys of racing?

Remember your new toy has aero appendages that really work. When you had some over steer at the track, the solution is probably to add more rear wing. A degree or two more wing might be all you need. Don't use to much as you can stall the wing then you have no downforce just big drag. Looks like fun!!! Rex

I remember seeing Jeremy Clarkson driving this on Top Gear and it was faster on the course then 99% of the supercars

Cleetus is the only person that can make me drop whatever i’m doing to go watch the new video! I can’t wait for the month of freedom, its gonna be epic!

You guys need to start a board for hot laps of vehicle. Fastest laps by cleeter in what ever car & fastest laps by the public. People could do a hot lap part of spectator drags! Would be cool to see what vehicles do what over the years

If you get to keep the track running, it's going to be time for a full on repave. That is looking nasty in more than a few places.

As an Atom owner, I’m happy to see these getting some love. Easily the best drivers car you can buy.

George's start to his laugh at 9:33 was in fact his impression of the supercharger whine 😂 true happiness right there! Love you guys!

SO excited to see Leah Block comming to the races!! Seeing her getting out there after the huge loss of her dad (RIP Ken) she’s got Ken’s natural ability and killing it already in the rally events so I’m happy to see her picking up the torch and carrying it on. Love her!!! Thankyou for inviting her Cleetus, I know she’s going to take the Hoonigan name onward and star in a Gymkhana video in the near future I can feel it! Prayers for her and the Block familiy! I’ll be praying for Leah to win this, she jsut got her license and I’d love to see her rip this !!

100% rooting for Lia Block!!! She needs to build her own collection and I’m sure she will for sure! Good luck kid! Give ‘em hell!!!😊

Seeing that Lia Block is coming made me so happy, i love that shes not going to just let her dads legacy go away.

Tye needs to get measurements and take note to build a new version just for spectator drags they could call it the tye fighter 😂

George laughing on the pulls on the way to the FF was epic. If you didn’t smile watching George, you have personal issues. 😂😂

I’d love to see a build with one of these or maybe a caterham build. They are all really light so most of them are pretty fast and most importantly fun.

Over steer is a main thing in these Atoms. You have to push the car faster, with appropriate tires, to the point of your fight or flight sense kicks in. You have to put that sense behind you and push even harder because you have the down force to hold the car in the turns.

I love how Jackstand went and looked straight at the Motor before he even put eyes on the car itself😂🤣 He’s a goat

Just remembering how lucky we are all these guys ran in to each other in life to make such a great team

7:07 that smile on George's face is priceless!!!

Can you imagine a fleet of these at the FF? That would be an amazing event to see

No lie the minute that thing pulled around the corner I smiled from ear to ear in excitement 😂

Cleetus- "anybody wanna go for a quick ride?" **crickets** 😂😂😂 cracked me up

Good ol Cobalt SS drivetrain. They sound nice and can handle some good power!

I think It’d be absolutely hilarious if Derek VGG won this just to see him try to fit in it 😂

I can't wait to see who wins this in person. Driving all the way from northern Michigan to the freedom factory the Thursday before the race. LETS GO BROTHER!!!

I was literally telling my friend about how absolutely insane these are! A true raceway for the road as opposed to street car made to race. Thank you for doing things right You guys and others are single handedly putting out content that has so.much value over corporate production. There's so much passion in every upload. Thank you for showing us that dreams can truly be had!

I can say with confidence that this is the best prize you've ever had. You got four chances to keep it with McFarland Racing and one of you boys better gosh dang do it.

It's funny to see how the entire time cleeter is just serious. You know for a fact he's just thinking to himself, "dang, now I have to buy one of these".

I still wish cleetus would do a lap times record list so when he buys new things like this we can see it lol

@ 10:31 to 10:33 Acting like "Beatus Mc Carland" Cleet's, new nickname, till he win's😂🤣

Lmao George's laugh @ 9:33-9:35 sounds absolutely identical to this things supercharger whine when he takes off hard at low rpms 😂

You guys better win the 500. I want to see y’all do some wild shit with it. 😂

I love Jackstand goes straight to look at the motor! 😂

Man that's the best ever outro I've ever noticed on this here channel. Proud of you boys. Y'all keep up the good work and keep on doing it for Dale 🤘

This is why I love my cobalt ss . The boosted 2.0 ecotec (especially turbo ones) are a criminally underrated engine .

While the crew has this it needs to go to LZs Compound and put down the top lap time which will stay there forever.

Its nice to get home from an exhausting day at work, and have ol Cleet put the freedom right back into my bloodstream. Hell yeah brother, win that track beast.

That thing is a spectator drag nightmare. So cool

So pumped to see this atom on the channel. Light weight is where it is at! Pick yourself up a Palatov and start racing these things at the FF!!

Can we appreciate George’s flow when his hat flys off. That’s a beautiful mullet!

Imagine this thing at spectator drags 🤯🤯 it would absolutely DOMINATE

Those exhaust flames at 12:25 wow man that's impressive in the broad daylight. That's a nasty little cart thing man. Honestly reminds me of the mach 5. Even sounds like the classic speed racer mach 5 did.

THANK YOU FOR SOOTHING MY TWINS TO SLEEP!!! My husband watches you religiously at night and feeds our babies while watching. He has been out of town all week. My son was in his crib non-stop crying. My husband got on our baby monitor cameras to try and soothe him. My husband turned on this video to have it playing as he talked to our son through our baby monitor camera. He was asleep in 10 mins!!!! I then turned on this video while I rocked our daughter. Again, asleep in ten mins!!! I can’t thank you enough for being a staple in our babies life!😂 -A very tired momma

I know its a hell of an expense but it would be awesome to see the track refinished. I hope thats coming up in the budget, I can imagine that would make the freedom factory really shine.

So happy to hear lia is getting out and about doing stuff like this, I was worried she would spiral after what happened.

The reflection of the flag on the shop on the flag glasses in the beginning. Surprised nobody else caught that

You see Cletus‘s mullet stand straight back that’s how fast they were going. I guess George’s hat George in Cleetus look 10 years younger when they rip it

If you stay further on the outside of the turn and put better tires on it, you will go much faster, that car carries tons of speed in the turn so you don't have to hug the inside as deep as the crown vic

you can see the regret in Cleet’s eyes as he pulls back into the pits from his hot laps. You can clearly see the thoughts in his head telling him “why did you have to announce this as the prize. Why do we have to give this one away!?”

Can’t wait to see what Travis Pastrana does with his new toy 🤣

@8:24 That 2nd gear shift pop tho! Sounds sick.

George was so happy after the first stop that all he could do was smile for 30 seconds.

Please run a few hot laps with the new tires before the race and time it as well. I really want to see what it will do.

Reminds me of our local quarter mile track when the nitro cars are racing. They hit their stride right before the corner. The echo was fantastic.

Never been disappointed by your videos or not had a good laugh. This one made not only made me laugh but had me drool a little over that F1 looking car too! Go for it, go for the prize.

I've driven an Atom, and I can personally say. You won't get to drive anything better. The torque alone is mind blowing. Unreal! 👌

Hell yes. Those Atom's are savage and definitely deserve more spotlight on them for their performance.

Thanks again for all of the smiles you put on my face, your outro was da bomb!! 😁

Whoah always loved these. Now I love it even more. Damn that is insanely fast. Needs an LS

Am I the only one that got super happy when he said that Lia Block was going to be in the freedom 500??I know who most of us will be rooting for!!

15:35 Ol' Cleeter's face when he is questioning every dollar he's ever spent on a fast car realizing how much fun he could have been having for so little money all along.

Looking like the Freedom Factory could use a coat of asphalt

It was nr 7 on the track. The highest one on a ,,moist,, track. Right behind a bac mono. Sort of simular is a ktm. Because where its built we call it an f1 suspension. Glad you guys took that one over from us😉.

With new tires and pressure adjustments, and maybe a slight camber tweak, that thing could do 15 second laps easy... Just carry your speed up higher through the turning radius. 😊

Genuinely thought after the poor performances at TX2K we would get a track rental day video. Really looking forward to seeing what Mullet and Flurry do when they aren’t being forced to TRY n go slow. Cool prize car though.

I have a rotary powered EXOCET, a tube frame kit car kind of like the Atom but a bit easier to attain & not as refined. Not to say the EXOCET isn't good, the Ariel is just definitely more sophisticated. I go to alot of GRIDLIFE events and last year I saw one of the Honda K series powered Atom's at Lime Rock Park. I ended up having a faster time due to having quite a bit more power, the peripheral port 13B in the car is putting down 452 hp & 366 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels but in the corners he would eat into my lap time like crazy lol. He was talking about doing a 4G63 swap in his Atom & while I love the 4G I told him to just build the K series as they can make good power with the right build. Led me to upgrade quite a bit tho. Great choice guys, I didn't think the ECOTEC one was could sound as good as the K series one but it does LMAO. Who ever wins it is gonna have a blast. 🤙 Keep up the great work fellas 🤘

Great video guys.....outro was sick !!

Nice to see an English car impressing U.S folk. Quite a few of these on UK roads especially in summer, not with the big wing though? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 👍

Need to do track times with something like that. Have everyone in the shop do their best lap times and whenever someone new comes by have them do a lap and keep track of who is the fastest ect. Would make great content.

You should have a special award for anyone that works there, and wins a race. 2nd place should take 1st, and the reward. I love that you're giving it away, but that system would cut down on having to do all that, and show a huge respect for people entering that can't practice at any hour, at any time on that specific track. Yu could even make it a challenge for everyone working there, with special rewards just for those who win ahead of the legitimate entries(not employee/owner). You absolutely deserve a congrats for epic driving, regardless! Great job, man, I've been watching your videos since you created Leroy, it's great to see how you've improved.

2:45 Love the reference to the 2000 version of Gone in 60 Seconds.

A sequential gearbox in this would be insane

Today Cleeter and the crew learn about “power to weight” 😁

Oh yeah brother can’t wait. I hope you guys do end up winning that Mac that’s gonna be some bad ass Contant with a good set of tires you’re going to really break records keep up the videos man doing great Cletus for president 2024.

Man, that holds its line through the curves beautifully. What a fun car.

I think the shifter knob look great, and it's plenty big. I'd say it's an average size knob. Not too big, not too small. Gets the job done.

I was hoping this would stay in the fleet. Cleetus team, you got to win this.

Oh dam! You got the real deal engine package in that atom! That's what's in my ion redline , but I have the TVS1320 on mine.

Man that thing is so sick. I really hope it becomes a new toy for the Chanel, and cleet, that outro was magnificent 😂😂😂

I’m sure Tye can make one of those with a ls power plant that would dominate spectator drags!!

As soon as I saw what he got my jaw dropped. Cleetus you have a gem there and can’t believe that’s the freedom 500 prize.

Cleet killed the soliloquy at the end! 🤣 loved it!

This makes me miss putting the gm supercharger kits on the cobalt ss and then driving them lmao loved them little things fun to drive

Dude I've thought an Atom would be the hardest thing to beat at spectator drags, I really hope it stays at the track!

Man, I miss the sound of my LSJ! Glad to see the platform get a little respect!

Curious to see how it does with good tires. Maybe it needs a little more rear wing on the FF track - since it wants to oversteer..

Cleetus and Zach reminded me of The Little Rascals in there. 😂😂 That thing is scootin.

Loved the podcast with Rob! Glad to see y’all back at it!!

It would be awesome if cleet would have a random drawing thru out the year to win a trip out to the event at the freedom hole....👍👍👍

That thing sounds amazing. The atoms always been close to the top of my dream car list. Road legal go kart

Cleetus that sure looks like a fun ripper. I have that same engine in a sandrail and it rips too. If you are looking to add more horses check out ZZPerformance for pulley upgrades on the supercharger and even a turbo swap kit. They are pretty much the leader for ECOTEC engine performance.

I would LOVE to see yall take up some road course stuff! That would be AWESOME to see how gold yall do!

Since you guys liked building the jet boat kits you need some exomotoive exocets or DF goblins kits to race around the track. The exocet will take anything you can shove in a miata, ls, k serise, lsa if you want to die lol. Goblins are built on cobalt drive lines so similar power options to the atom.

9:33 george sounding like the supercharger😂😂😂

New spin off sireies needs to be Cleetus and George review cars... your reactions are so entertaining.

It’s a good day when Cleetus uploads

Out of all the 80’s Pontiac grand prix’s I owned and built in the mid 90’s I never built one as a 4x4 and always wanted to. That thing is perfect!!! I did do a 79 trans am, a Chevy Monza on lifted Blazer chassis. But like the Grand Prix!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy Clarkson will be so thrilled to learn that his meme now has a newer/updated version. 😂 The one where he’s in the open car and his face smooshes back 🤣🤣 great success ahahah
