Hey guys, im new on the board and somewhat new to turbo buicks. First quick car i'd ever rode in was an '87 GN when i was 14 or so and caught the bug for quick cars since.
To the piont...basically i just wanted to know where the best place to look to learn all i can on these cars is (other websites mainly)? I currently own a '85 mustang (heads, cam, intake, exhaust, gear...the norm 12 sec combo) which i've built up so i know cars from a mechanical standpoint. Always had a love for turbo buicks though so I was thinking of trading my car away for one.
Also how hard are these cars to tune? Being a ford guy all i hear about is turbo tuning and maintenance nightmares. Also what kind of mpg are you guys seeing with mildly built turbo cars? As much as i hate those who b$%th about gas mileage, the built 5.0 is killing me on the drives to and from work.
Basically i just want any honest general info i can get for someone looking to get into these cars from the guys (and gals) who own and love them. Cost of ownership, likes/dislikes, problems, etc. Thanks you all for your time and answers and maybe soon I'll be frequenting this board rather than stangnet Thanks again, Brian
