Never underestimate the power of a turbo.....even those ricers with the boost cranked on a 4 cylinder could turn your day rainy.

BTW...the Gn is the most hideous sports car i have ever seen....A real sleeper though.

OH yeah...i wish these trucks came with turbos.....just the sound of the compressor wheel at full spool would be worth it.

Hmmmm.....

Anyone wanna help me build some manifolds?

I spent almost 12 years with one of those damn things. Somebody once said that if your going to own and race a turbo buick, your tool kit should include a cherry picker and an engine stand.

One thing I have to say about owning that car, it was like going to hotrod college, and I got my degree to prove it.

I've got FIVE friends that either have GN's, TTA's, Syclones, T-types or a combination of both. One's in the process of building a 9 SECOND STREET CAR!!! Needless to say, I'm well aware of their capabilities. Atleast they cut me some slack cause I weigh another 1/2 ton more.
