    Cadillac confirms 420-hp twin-turbo V6 for 2014 CTS

    Why anyone would be excited about a CTS with 136 less hp than the current (and outgoing) CTSV is beyond me. It was developed to get better mpg.

    Bamford whips it out on the street

    JSB is a nice color. Kinda like the old Nassau blue. My Z is being delivered by transport tonight. Curious as to why he chose a Corvette as a street drag car for money. Not really good launching cars and not a sleeper by any stretch.

    part it out or just sell it

    What is your time worth? Time is money, taking a car apart is money, packing and shipping are money, headaches are money, answering a bazillion emails is money. Like mentioned above, every car is worth more in parts,but there is a reason we do not all take our cars apart when we sell them. There...

    Why are old cars so cold natured?

    Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I was told your car will over heat if you do not run a stat. I was told the water needs to spend a certain amount of time in the radiator to effeciently cool. I mean how do you over cool an engine, especially todays alluminum engines?

    This post should end it all right here and namely point number 1. Too many cliiques in this community and when someone does you wrong all the friends jump in and defend the vendor.

    why are gn's worth more than Ts??

    GN is an appearance package. I am sure you can find a lot of muscle cars that do a lot better because they have an appearance package.

    New Car for Troopers!

    175mph topps. The new 620HP ZR1 Vette is saying it will top off around 200HP and it has one of the best aero profiles of any car ever built.

    gettin approved for a home loan

    One of the main reasons that there is a housing glut is becaus they are not just giving loans out to anyone. I think you should be consulting a mortgage broker. The key will be finding a house that is selling for below appraised value. Talk to the broker and get pre-approved first.

    Does this make sense for our ECONOMIC REBATE?

    Not that easy to figure it out. Headquarters does not have a huge vault full of money that they keep there. If a Fod is made in canada the money goes to Canada to pay for the factory, if a part is made in mexico some money will go there to pay for the part and after a US built Toyota is made it...

    Looking for a fitting

    In the radiator itself they are 1/8" NPT in the front of it. Pipes that come out of it are 5/16" inverted flare pipe. Factory has adaptors that fit into the radiator, with the custom bent short 5/16" pipes that go into those wrapping them around to the battery area location where they are...

    LS1 into a Grand National

    You can take it. With a SBC in it is just like every other race car out there. Not that there is anything wrong with it but it is no longer a GN in my eyes. The Mystique of the GN is a turbocharged BUICK V6 and how it was so different, so technologically advanced for its time, and how a little...

    Our GN's now have competition

    FWD and its really not that hard to make a car run in the high 13's these days. Lets see how much it costs to knock a second off those times. :o Make a Buick that is faster than a Vette again and i will buy it.

    300 SRT8 or GTO

    have you driven both yet or are you just going by looks? Drive them both first before you buy.

    300 SRT8 or GTO

    No, Not the SRT version.

    300 SRT8 or GTO

    I would take the SRT-8 or even a CTS-V over the GTO. Out of the 3 the SRT-8 is the fastest with a bunch of them in the 12's bone stock. i never got a chance to race mine before i sold it. I am not going to make the usual comparisons and just say that the I detest the 90's styling of the GTO. The...
