Several of us Buick guys went to Somerset Kentucky over the last weekend to the Holley Power Cruise. (Not to be confused with the Hot Rod Power cruise) There were probably 12 to 15 hundred cars of all types there. After the show everyone cruises up and down Hwy 27. The sides of the highway are filled with people waiting for the inevitable.
Well I had just finished my car a couple days before and couldn't wait to drive it. (New stroker motor, aluminum heads, big inj, 70 turbo, XFI, etc.) Took it easy on the drive there and couldn't wait to have some fun.
As luck would have it I didn't have to wait too long. Driving back from supper I caught a light with a not so stock pickup truck. I didn't really pay much attention until he hammered it when the light changed. I let him get out about 3 car lengths and slowly laid into it. As I passed him the boost hit 15 lbs and the rear end tried to come around. I created quite a smoke show from the street tires I was wearing. I know, I know, get some drag radials. LOL
Shortly after that as I was pulling up in traffic a green 70's Cuda came along side and the guy was yelling " That thing is bad ass.
This was the car I thought was the nicest at the show. He had a viper motor painted the same color of the car. It was sweet and he was giving me props. This new ride is awsome. I got with a couple more cars but could only take it half throttle before it blew the tires off. Can't wait to get some meat on here.
I've had a GN since 1987 but this is a whole new experience. I love this thing. :biggrin:
