Any GN owners?

[usetaboost]

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

[Screamin4banger]

I don't, but my buddy used to have Turbo T that we messed around with.

God, That car was fast!

Oh, and I got the built 200-4r with the no-hop and the 8.5" 10-bolt posi
4.10 in my Cutlass

I do miss that car....

so if you find a black turbo T with green SS-III's, a 3 speed and a 2.73 peg-leg, I'll buy it!

I used to have a ~slightly modded~ turbo T.

[usetaboost]

What do you mean "used to"? Why did you get rid of it? That's what I got WE4 turbo t. Closest thing to a stripper I've ever been inside of

oh hell, I've been closer to that to being inside a stripper (hehe) but I'd eat a baby for a WE4. lol. I sold it because it was my DD and it had value and I needed money. Incidentally, that was when I bought my silver solid roof Shelby Daytona. I waqs able to get another cool DD and put 5 grand in the bank. But I miss that car. It was the second fastest DD I've ever had. It ran 7.80's in the eigth on 265/50 street tires.

I want another TB for a driver but I can't really afford it and don't want to be nervous as a wh0r3 in church when I leave it in public. Then the whole salt thing in the winter. How you like your turbo dodge for a DD? Everyone tells me they aren't that great reliability wise. For 30+ MPG I think I could handle doing some PM

[RGHoskins]

I used my red C/S as a DD for about a year and only had to have it towed twice. Once was an oil line to the turbo came off and the other was a random electrical glitch in the coil. A turbo Dodge can be an alright DD if you're not running crazy boost and it's a good car to start with.

[xpander343]

I have a turbo limited thats been forced into DD use as my normal DD is on loan to the GF. I also have a just a plain turbo regal that is gettng some body work done on.

I love the boosted buicks, a complete blast to drive. I'm hoping that my 87 Daytona when i'm done will be a fun DD.

I recognize your user name from the buick boards.

you're thinking of a base turbo Regal...good sleepers. The WE4's were stripper grand nationals in effect. They had no power options and the turbo T wheels. They were, of course, all black.

[usetaboost]

That's the thing I don't get about the we4. was it just an option code that was made up for the black on black or were they intentionally supposed to be poor boy GNs with cheapo interior? My car was radio delete and only has pwr windows and rear defrost. I've seen we4s out there with concert sound, ttops, moonroofs, twilight, all sorts of options. No wire hubcaps for turbo regals, they got the T wheels. I'd love to get a limited or base tr for a driver but it would probably end up being another project like what is in the garage. Don't think I'll be able to handle doing this much work again. A turbo dodge just seems like a no brainer-CHEAP PARTS, not worth a whole lot, fun and fast, 30+highway. Gas isn't going to get cheaper.

gn = my 2nd fav turbo car.

if any new england gn owners want to meet me at LVD Raceway for a heads-up drag race, and your GN isnt some sick modified crazy race car but more or less bone stock like my omni is, please PM me and i bet we can get Hemmings Muscle Mag to cover the contest.

[xpander343]

I love the limited, it has the plush interior so its nice to cruise around in. What is nice about both the cars, is because they're not black they don't get the attention a GN gets. Both have the W02 package so they're not complete sleepers.

I've seen your pics of your teardown. I'd love to do that to my limited, the floors are starting to look more like windows.

I bet turbofish on the other board probably has a good explanation abou the WE4. It probably has something to do with costs.

I thought your GLHS ran high 12's?

[usetaboost]

High 12s? Better spike the punch and put that FWD hog on a diet if you plan on racing a "slightly modified" TB. Be prepared for an ass handing! Getting on a TB is like getting on a hot chick oooooh baby

ICTBs !
