perfect perfect perfect.
Properly cool. Small engine in Yank terms. But with a turbo.... Creating one of the best cars to come out the states imho..
Would love if they turned their sights to this sort of build nowadays..
Somthing charger-esq with a smaller disp and a load of boost... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Looking good.
Wasn't this what they used in the opening sequence of Fast and Furious?

An awesome car, highly sought after by the drag racing boys. A 1987 Buick GNX has been on my wish list for ages. I'd even settle for a Buick Regal and Grand Nationalising it!
and yes Mr. Speedy it is the car in the opening sequence.

Somthing charger-esq with a smaller disp and a load of boost... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Or keep the displacement and add boost.... Thats the *right* way to do it... Check the Shelby stuff out now for example. Turn-key 800 BHP and reasonable street manners... |

^^^Turbo and EFi has by far been the biggest advancement in technology for big power cars ever. Just listen to vids of Red Victor 3 driving around, it sounds so tame, pulls away and accelerates smoothly etc. You'd never get that sort of driveability with a carb.
