anyone seen this car yet? It has a modified Duramax Diesel in it. Some sick ass back tires too. Looks real nice IMO.

lame.
That guy is a member here. His user name is OddGNX I believe. He has a thread in the tire/wheel section that is about 5 pages long that has quite a few build pics of the car. He seems like a pretty nice guy from his thread and he defiantley has skills because that car started as a Cutlass and was converted over to a Regal.
Calm down, slappy. It's not even a GN, it was a Cutlass. Look for the thread and read up on it before passing judgment !
Personally I think it kicks arse

buick tech is the fact you can drop the duramax in your G-Body and have a kick ass turbo set up and not have to worry about alky injection or race fuel. Gale Banks has some real nice modifications to the duramax not to mention there getting some real sick hp and torque out of them beasts today.

and what have YOU done thats more noteworthy? i think its interesting & and probably took little ingenuity to do. but i do respect the fact that everybody has a right to their own opinion.

True on the motors weight(isnt much or if any more than a bigblock with say a roots blower),but its NOT sitting in a 5000lb truck. Power to weight would be very good still. According to Gale Banks himself these diesels can be made as clean or cleaner than a gas engine,without the worries associated(ie. knock) because they run on knock. The aftermarket for these engines will only continue to grow especially since fuel prices keep going up.
