The magazine articles & pictures can not and do not do this car justice. This is one car that actually looks as good or better in person than it does in print. I have seen the car several times at shows and at Lou's shop and it never fails to amaze me the amount of "attention to detail" that is in this car. Great riding car, too, and with the overdrive, you would never believe that you are in a car this quick. After a ride in the car with Lou, I rearranged my priorities from a low 10 sec street ride to a high 11-flat 12 sec street car. I decided that it was just too much car for me. Exceptionally well street mannered.

I tested the engine in Reggie west's GN & it ran 10.02 137 @ 21# boost.After running it on the dyno & making 720 RWHP & track testing it I gave him the choice to buy it or I would or sell it. He declined & John Lehmann stepped up & wanted it. So I tore it down inspected everything freshened it. Installed it in the regal where it is now & it has never seen the track since.So the answer is. I would guess a low 10 second or high 9 set up to do so. But it would need a roll bar & all the B.S. that goes with it.

First of all if someone wanted to hack the car up put a rollbar in it & turn the boost up 30# or better your looking at least 1000 h.p. Thats 8 second power with the right chassis. If that's one is looking to do go find a beater. Im not making any claims as to what it will turn. Nor do I care.$32k for a 10 sec T-typeGood luck
$32k for a 10 sec T-type
Do you know what kind of $$$ it takes to make a Stage car? I'm looking at close to $15K for the motor alone. Good price for a Bad A$$ car!!

Thats exactly what the engine is worth,the turbo is now about 1,600,intercooler 1,100 trans & convertor 3,500 ford 9" detroit locker,billet axles, HRparts sway bar.3,000 labor to build 5,000, quality paint job 6,000 alky injection $600.00 installed, headers 1,800, GNX dash 1,000 shifter 400.00, trans cooler installed 300.00 injectors 450.00, stainless exhaust 600.00 etc. I hope our friend can count,The list goes on from here & lets not forget what a clean TR if you can find one anymore is worth, Let alone all that's been done. There is eek 60 grand invested. Plus find me another Buick quite like this to compare with.
