what is your point?
what about chevy's 3.8?
or pontiac?
for a push rod v6 its not to bad.
the car isnt really intended to be speed racer.
thats just yours or our choice
it has a shit ton of potiential
but its ment for a nice DD that looks good

yea ... but think you have a V6 its not the performance engine its the economy engine the one that people get caues they want a mustang but not the insurance or the gas milage....

plus 193 is to the crank... your car probably has closer to 160 to the wheels ... don't worry mines at like 120 ish

most people don't know what a GN is I guess..

they assume it's slow because of what it looks like.

sad
those can make a sick ass sleeper
my next car would be that or a fox. but i dont think it'll be a v6 fox unless i get the parts for cheap

but those buicks are sick. i was forced to race one when i was just bolt ons...he pulled a 6.7 1/8th mile slip

and yea the whistle that blew past me was close to the sickest thing ive herad...close..it was to loud compared to a monte carlo SS turbo'd i heard...just spool..no waste gate, or exhaust

but buicks 3.8 owns
