So my car has been running since September of 2014, but it has come a long way in a short amount of time. It's my first turbo Buick, so I've been going slow, trying to learn as much as I can before I beat on it like a rented mule. It ran okay last fall, I put it away for the winter, and brought it out this spring at our local track for the opening day of T&T. On the stock trans and converter, I had a best of 13.2 @108, having the unfortunate luck of lining up next to dragsters and GT500s along the way. Needless to say, the stock trans went out, so after an EA Stage 2 and 3500 converter, I was able to shave that down to a 12.3@108 at the GS Nats this year. Out of the dozen or so 1/4 mile passes, I've probably won 3, 1 of which was a stock Silverado.... On the street, I haven't been able to get any tuners to bite, which is surprising. My only street "race" was a stoplight to stoplight victory against a Marauder, but I think he was just going along with it for fun.
At 7:30 in is my best pass to date (far lane in the blue T) and I am very pleased with the car overall, just surprised as to how many times I've had the smackvdown laid to me.
