Another G-body...

[Turbo T]

Hello all,

I am currently cleaning up an '87 Buick Turbo T (read: fixing the previous owner's mistakes) for street/strip duty while stationed at Fort Gordon, GA. Should be roadworthy in a few weeks, but my ultimate goal is an 11-second car that will handle like a Vette. The 11-second part is well on it's way , but over the next 8 months or so, I would like to address the Regal's handling prowess (or lack thereof). I'm one of the only domestic guys in a predominantly import/auto-x oriented "club", and among other things, I'd like to show these guys that American cars car turn too. Great bunch of guys, and they've got some respectable rides, all turbo'd, NO RICE (11-second Talon, 12-second Silvia, 13-second Sileighty, etc), they just seem to think that a Buick is a strip-only car. I'd simply like to beat them at their own game.

Here are my other rides, currently waiting for me back home in Connecticut.

1973 Dodge Challenger R/T 340ci .30 over, cam, headers, mild build, just a cruiser. Managed to get a deal on this before they started going through the roof. Total investment is still well under $10K.




'79 T/A 6.6L w/ 60K original miles I picked up in California. Came out ahead on this one (you don't want to know how much I paid). Too nice to mod. Probably selling this one in the near future.



Also got an '80 Z28 back home waiting to be turned into a Trans Am style racer. Hopefully it'll end up with a turbo'd small block and a T56.

This is the current state of "progress" on the Turbo T. TE-60, Dutt. Neck, Big Mouth CAI, Hemco Intake, 62MM TB, 009's w/ chip, THDP, dump pipe, elec. cutout, and the usual goodies. More pics will follow as the car becomes more presentable. And yes, that's a real Z3 Coupe. Nope, not mine. Handles like a dream though.


Sorry if the pics are too big. Having trouble resizing them.

Well that about does it. Can't wait to check out some of the other rides on here.
