minimal plastic on my whip. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The older buicks are tough cars. I had a 3800 in my pontiac when i first bought it. (first gen 231, even fire) and it had 400k on it still running like a sewing machine. Only thing that put it down was my thermostat seized and it overheated due to my temp sensor not functioning. Im actually happy though, as now i have a big block olds swapped in. Assuming yours has a 3800?

I can post my rice if you like... It still gets 30mpg when driven on the streets and it is faster then 80% of street legal muscle cars.
This is all you get..no more pics of it since the old thread with pics vanished...lol

Try taking the turbo off then racing some american cars. Or race some turbo V8s and see how that pans out for you. Comparing turbo to N/A isnt really a good comparison. Small motors have their place, but its not for performance, its for saving gas. Big motors make big power, period. More reliable is a bonus as well.

NOt a good pic but here is a picture of my FJ Cruiser...

My next project is to install the 3" lift that has been sitting in my living room since May. Then black rims and 33's and eventually a snorkel and safari rack. I'll get some better pics when I get back from vacation.

I race plenty of V8 turbo cars and others that are super charged. My car is very well suited for the track as well. Perhaps knowing my car a little better prior to thinking it is a 14 sec crap box would put you in a better position then talking about what you obviously do not know.

I'm not saying I do not like V8s, I do. I have had a few and built them as well.

My little rice rocket makes 638HP to the REAR wheels I like my little 76mm turbo.

I have never owned a tuner or "ricer;" mostly V-8 pickups, but why does it matter how the power is made? Turbo, supercharger, NA. Power is being put to the pavement and thats what makes a car go. Power is power.

With the government stepping in with new regulations, we won't be driving much V-8 American muscle. Ford has already came out with their twin turbo 6 cylinder F-150. Others will soon follow and that TT F-150 spanks other V-8 1/2 tons in its class.

how do you like the lacking of a powerband? reach full boost by 6k, shift at 7.5k/8k? supra's have terrible head flow.
