you know I meant Buick, I didn't spell check before I postedMarkedMan said:Did you mean Buick.
Katshot said:I just wanted to make MarkedMan feel better by pointing out that Buick did, in fact sell at least one fast car. And I'll agree with you on the CTS-V. Hot car!
Katshot said:Sure they were fast but not even CLOSE to a modern day GNX, or even a Grand National. Matter of fact, I'll bet a stock Regal GS with a oulley kit would smoke one. The old saying "there's no replacement for displacement" just doesn't work anymore. The replacement is "technology" my freinds.
Imperial pilot x said:umm. no. If technology reffering to forced induction surely a forced induction car could beat a naturally aspirated car depending on the specs.. a stock Regal T type is like 270 hp 14s all day.. Sure buicks first attempts at the gran sport were not that great with the old "Nail head" ( small ass valves ) but once they got that stage 1 455 in 69 and 70 these cars can really move. Yeah if you beefed up the turbo on a 3.8 G body they haul ass.. But their just avg high 13 to 14 second cars.. no different from the predecessor.. I like those cars alot and easilly run fast. but arguing a car with a turbocharger vs N/A is stupid. technology might bring us better turbos and means of forced induction, better head design or cam grinds etc. But my friend as long as youre in the world of a reciprocating internal combustion engine SIZE MATTERS. Period. The final part of my argument is a top fuel dragster. Look one up. Look at the horsepower rating. Look at the size of the engine. Look at the fact they use forced induction. Look how fast they go. Then ask is their anything with smaller displacement going faster or making more power than one of these ? with using "technology" ? A honda cant beat a built big block by doing a simple chip upgrade to inhance its fuel/air ratio or timing. :soapbox: P.S one of my favorite cars is the 69 ZL1 camaro.. no one ever talks about it.
