Hope the link works. Big debate at LS1.com over whether the GN has a V8 or a 6 in it.

Is there a link to the thread? I need some humor this morning.

i Vote 8 cyl in that one, no spool sound and nothing that remotely sounds like all the other turbo buicks i ever heard anyway.

I agree.

I guess I should have watched the vid instead of just wanting to read the link. Fast car...

A link to the thread. And I am with ya'll also....it's a little too deep to be a 6.

MAYBE IT WAS ARFFY!!!!!!!!!!

v8... hands down

 

[V6UnderPressure]

Well Well Well, looks like Chris Chow has confused another handful of people on the V8 V6 question.

V8 all the way, there wasn't even a turbo whistle there.

 

[Tom87GN]

V8.......and doesn't even use a transbrake to go high 9's. Just because it's a GN body doesn't mean it's still a TR.

 

[MistaScott]

Yeah, but is a turbo V8? twin? I didn't hear ANYTHING whining.

 

[Nick McCardle]

Somewhat similar debate happening on camaroz28.com. Now I'm just trying to prove that 9sec. and faster V6 TR's don't have "an almost gurgly ricey sound".

 

[wlaukaitis]

Definately a V8

I have not seen/heard many Turbo Buicks race in person but the videos I have seen, the V6 has a higher pitched sort of sound to it.

 

[J Banning]

I say it's a V8. It sounds like it launched off idle. You can't hear the turbo spool up.

Fast car... but no turbo V6

 

[d0n_3d]

definitely no turbos there...V8

That is my local track (Moroso) and I have seen the car in the video run and I can tell you (sadly) it is powered by a Chevy V8..... That looks like a motor pass, but on the spray it has run deep in the 8's.... If my memory serves me correct that car used to be owned by a guy named Frank and it did have a twin turbo Stage II motor (done by a company called Turbo Tune).... He obviously sold the car rolling (chassis w/out the motor) and this guy decided to go with a BB or SB Chevy V8 with some juice.... There is another GN down here that I know of (and I know the owner personally) that is powered by a SBC..... Oh well some guys just like going fast the easy and/or simple way which in most cases means a SB or BB Chevy V8 with some juice!

Put it on the main page! Thats awesome!

 

[2QUIK6]

That must be that rare V8 GN that GM made that everyone comes up to tell me about at the gas station

 

[progress1vebmx]

[Quick6]
