Funny, this topic is more popular on a second generation camaro website:confused:

Has anyone seen this - what is your thought on how efficient this is?? http://chevyhiperformance.com/techarticles/148_0502_turbo/

A big no thanks to GM for a front drive LS1. I'll go something from Chrylser first that has RWD and a hemi. I'm glad GM has a history at least of great vehicles to choose from. In an era of electronic traction control and superior tire technology I do not see any clear advantages to front...

I appreciate the feedback - really. I've picked up some great ideas so far. I wish I had all the answers, but I'm still running to catch up. ;) Sorry, I threw you with the different user name I logged on from my office.

You're very perceptive. I have my mind set on running 100 octane. I know people like their alky, but I'd rather not do it. I like the idea of going to the local gas station and just filling up with 100 octane. I only drive the car 500 miles a year - so it makes sense for me. Based on the 100...

I hated to see Olds go also. I think it all started going south after the G-body went away. GM really dissapoints me. They homoginize everything, they bring out a car that does not meet expectations, tweak for several model years and finally get it right - then they kill it. I could go on and...

Well I'll disagree - the Regal GS is clearly marketed at the middle age family guy. I think the marketing strategy for Buick was always the step up from Olds and a stop on the way to Cadillac. That typically had as much to do with what the customer could spend as it did with their age. The...

I think you mean Olds - which was "this is not your Fathers Oldsmobile".

I hear people refer to the GN as a "Grandpa Car" now and then and I really don't understand the logic in that comment. Historically, most true musclecars were based off family cars. Many of them were taxi cabs, police cruisers, 4-door models, wagon models, etc. Obviously these derivatives...

I give my ATR 2-1/2 duals a big thumbs down. Hooker sounded better and are a better value.

How about a roller cam?

I think he's got the tools for an easy 11-second car the more I look at this. I think you are going to come up short.

Thank you Mark!

I am looking for a hood liner that say Grand National and has the logo on it. I have seen them in pictures of some cars on the web, but don't know where to get them. Any ideas??

My opinion is it will be a tough battle for you. A Chevelle weighed around 3600-4000 lbs. I think my 71 SS weighed around 3800. So they are pretty close in weight to the GN. 430 ft/lbs at the RW is pretty healthy, but if it's a small block it will not be as fat of a torque curve as a big...

Champion heads and a 212 roller would add how much in a rough estimate? I'm guessing at 80-100 hp. Anyone that has before and after dyno numbers would no better than my guess.

Hey guys, I have this posted in the diecast section, but I need a quick answer. What do these sell for on average? Local shop has one for $135.00 - Too much? Thanks

That's good news on the Cobra. Too bad about the Lightning. When/if I tire of the GN a new Mustang would be nice.

Sorry to hear that Buickboy- really. My best advice is simply this. Step #1 get the best attorney you can afford and that you feel confident in. Step # 2 - Always take the high road and resist the temptation to pour gasoline on the fire. Particularly if there are children involved...
