I was just wondering if there was a neat story behind that from the 60s or 70s maybe.

    Yeah I guess TurboBuick has its own share of internet racers.

    A good way to summarize what I noticed is that Buick owners tend to be more proud of their brand than some others, that's all...

    PS: Running is one thing, raceworthy is another What did you mean on your title when it says "it WAS fast"?
    I'm not ragging on any one person or group, just talking a little smack......Even to the other Buick guys......

    The Buick/Mopar thing goes back to the mid 80's, Muscle Car Review did a top 50 fastest Muscle Cars list and a 70 Stage 1 was #1. Well, that didn't set well with the Mopar guys and someone wrote in that all buicks run like they're tied to a tree.....A year or so later they had little shootout, GS club pres. 70 Stage 1 and the Comedian Hemi owners 70 Road Runner............The GS had the Hemi covered by .7....

    "it WAS fast".......The more I tune and work on it the closer I get to that 12 second time slip I've been looking for, a few more trips to the track and it looks like I'll have it......

    Back on Topic......Hey Hemi guy, you want to go down and play sometime, maybe a BCM old school shoot-out.......

    Right now the buick/mopar thing continues with hemi/446-packs/GS's going at it at the F.A.S.T competitions...mopars have the most cars in the top 10 and so on, but right now, Gesslers buick still has the quickest ET's (the hemi still has the faster traps )

    ****, I'd love a ride in that hemi...never rode a bone stock one before. Just wish I could do a little tunning to it to really dial it in and see what she can do

    Oh there's a bit of it in the Olds camp too.

    I thought everyone knew about the legendary Hemi / Stg 1 shootout.

    The quickest F.A.S.T. car right now is a '68 L88 Vette, first FAST car in the 10's.....He went a 1.68 60ft on Bias Plys......

    The Buicks don't have enough cylinder head to run the MPH like the Hemi boys. Its funny to watch, the Buick pulls on the Hemis for the first 1/8th, a good 2-3 car lengths then the Hemis real them back in. I'm surprised that there isn't a 6-pack car out there running with the big boys. The really disappointing car is the ZL1, that thing should have everyone covered by a half second or more........

    Mr. Aloha,
    Do you by any chance know Jeff Joy?? He said he could get me up to your place to check it out. I would love that.

    Chris,
    I have spotted another 69 1/2 Super Bee with the lift-off hood, 440-6. I will have one of those! I must say I love all muscle cars, I am not a "I have a Chevelle so I hate Mopar" type of guy. Keith I really want to see the GS. I love those too.

    I dont know him myself....but anyone can come by anytime for a full tour. We have about 5 acres, 7 buildings, and about $6-$7 million worth of muscle cars in warm storage here for customers. So it's kinda like a museum in your backyard. Only thing I ask is call before you come....Ask for Dan 262-284-8889
