That is exactly what is wrong with the car hobby anymore. I prefer chevy stuff but hang out with people who race mustangs, bustangs, fordolets, whatever. Don't matter to me. Even if it is an import I am interested as long as it is fast and a sweet car. Not some riced out piece of $hit with a homo driving it thinking it is the baddest thing out there. I see it all the time in this community just like in the ls1 community who won't look at your car if it has a v6 turbo or a lt1 or an old school sbc in it. Nobody can appreciate anything unless it is below what they have or exactly what they have. The nutt hugging on here gets old to. To many times it is only about those who have a big bank account and worship each others TSO/TSM/TSBS :biggrin: cars. Then there are those that make stupid comments towards anything different that you might own/build. Give props to something besides the same old $hit. Yes this is a gn/t/buick specific site but we have the v8 conversion section for those who want real speed and only a handfull of those out there with the kind of finances to put the v6 into the 9's and very few who can afford to go faster than that on the small platform. It gets boring looking at the same old black turbo buzzing six bangers. Nice to see other stuff floating around as well.
Not all of us on here have blinders on so don't judge us off of one ignorant post. Please ignore those who think that way. Please feel free to post and give all the info/pics you choose to.
Imports are cool to if they are done right and the owner is not a tool. Look at the buscher thread. Great car, performance, & class act. I wonder if he did not own/race a gn car to if he would get the same response or just negativity?
^ your garage is sick!
first of all i did give props. i said nice car im sure it will fly! and that i love and at one time ran a low 10 69 bb first generation camaro i appreciate all muscle cars period! and like i also said im not trying to be an ass, just my opinion! if i offended anyone i am truly sorry not my intention! but wes dont put words in my mouth! and being a type writer tough guy does not make you look cool to cold 85 if i offended you i am truly sorry brother not my intention!
oh and a few more things to wes. why are you offending guys running in tso/tsa classes as arrogant a holes with big dollars! racing is racing brother! dont think for one minute that these racers arent breaking knuckles turning wrenches, tuning with 1000 different combinations [ boost,fuel pressure, timing ,compression,suspension settings] all to get the last few drops out of there machine! you might not have there bank account,or their love of racing. they are pushing the limits of what a stock block can do, and in the process feeding a lot of extremely valuable information to the buick community!!! try being calm before you react,cus it seems like you hate a lot of people on this site! as far as "real speed' we have guys running into the low 7s, and plenty of guys running deep into the 8s!!! might not be fast enough for you! and your classic factory intimidating 88 monte!!
You came on here saying it should not be on this forum. That is why it is in the v8 conversion section right? You seemed to come across like you did not want anything on here but a gn with a v6. If he had of signed up with one post and put it in the tech lounge or regular section talking smack I could have seen you coming off like that but he was invited here and put it in the section where it belonged along with a great attitude and a great car. Like sgrim said the buick deserves alot of the credit for the turbo innovation for going so fast on such a small engine so welcome new innovation the same. Not trying to be a tough guy just gets old when so many are set in there ways and cannot support anything that is different from what they have or better than what they have. In the future spend your time typing to welcome someone instead of sounding like you don't want anything here but a buick. People wonder why these cars are a dying breed.
My point is the guys who are so brand specific with the attitude not all of them. I respect the buick and those who represent the sport right. Owned many myself and will take a whipping from many of v6's to come. I am content with that. I respect the hard work of those like RichieHighPsi on this board who did alot with less. No strokers, no stage stuff, no ball bearing turbos, wheeling and dealing. To those who can afford it more power to them as well it is just the ones who are so damn arrogant that they can't see past their nose to respect anything outside of a freaking grandpa car painted black with a turbo v6. Speed lol. Guys? Anderson, Gallina, Freeman? That is a small group in the 7's and one in the 6's. Yes the v6 is impressive. Never said it was not. Just not something everyone can afford. I dislike those who represent the attitude as you seem to have. I like g body cars. Would take a olds hurst anyday of the week with its weak ass motor as well. Factory intimidating lol. 245 hp buick vs 175 hp monte. Wow that is a big difference. Neither of those hp ratings hold a candle to anything out there this day and time. There are 300 hp v6's coming out in camaros now. Your the one with the typical new york attitude. What is wrong my friend are you an angry new yorker?
Let's keep the personal comments to pm.
BTW Can my wife, son and I come live in your garage?
