Jebman Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Everything is still on track for a VERY frigid, VERY snowy winter for the entire Washington DC Metropolitan Region. I miss northern Virginia. I am starting to think about going back up there. This place, central Texas, it is hot as hell and it is also very toxic to left of center persons such as myself. Our NORMAL high has just fallen back to 89. Geeze. Guess what, we are averaging well above normal as luck would have it, and will likely remain so into early November. Yuck! This upcoming autumn bears startling resemblances to Fall 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure there isn't a supercharged 455 in that thing? Amazing what you can do with twin turbos on a v-6. Nitrous oxide too? Bring your ride to the Ridgely car show in a few weeks. Its huge now, seriously. Great time. I will meet ya there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get the tires a few inches off the ground with a 12 lb launch . You still need to come to this car show. It really is seriously awesome. It takes over the whole town. People are totally into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Factory single turbo stock block GN's running 9s and even 8s with mods . I have alcohol injection and the sky is the limit . Really? I thought stock single turbos with no mods were like 250 HP. That's maybe a high 13 second machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 You bringing your ride to Ridgely show on Sunday? Great weather to show off a modded Grand National.

CAPE Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 This is similar to my first hot rod. Back in my Carroll County days lol. 1964 Chevy II 2 door Sport Coupe, although this is a sedan. I built a cammed up 327, modded 350 turbo, with 373:1 gears, That car weighed like 2500 pounds. Was fun to drive. ETA- Mine looked more like this..Sport Coupe Hardtop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Anyone looking for something to do tomorrow, the big car show in Ridgely, MD is happening. It's a quaint eastern shore town, but it is bigtime. I go almost every year. Richard Petty will be there- he has come every year I think. Also The dude from the "My Classic Car" series will be there filming for an upcoming episode. http://www.ridgelycarshow.com/ @losetoa6 should show up and bring his GN. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Jackson is a bit off today, and Harbaugh is in dumb coaching mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Harbaugh has truly lost his mind in this game. The Ravens probably wont win anyway, but going for 2 twiice for no reason, when its not called for, it just stupid. I hope they end up losing by one point.

CAPE Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Well the stink bugs are back. They have left the crop fields and are looking for their winter abode. I didn't see a single one all summer, saw ONE yesterday, and today they are all over the house and deck. Been having fun with my electrocution bug swatter. Effing awesome. Picked off 25 or so while watching the Ravens get exposed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 @losetoa6 There was a super clean Buick Turbo- T at the car show today. I didn't cover the whole show area, but I didn't see an actual GN. This T-model looked exactly like a GN to me, and as I recall there were many options on that car so you could trim it out to look almost exactly the same.

In Theory the Turbo T would be faster then a GN because many T's and T-Types came with aluminum rear brake drums and aluminum bumber brackets and supports making them lighter which = faster . My dad has a Turbo T and it's a total sleeper with no spoiler or badging . Also very limited production in 87 with only 1500 or so T's made vs 20,000 + GNs but GNs remain more valuable for now . Yeah I had heard/read that. It was featured on an ep of MotorWeek in the last year- I mentioned that to you at the time. Also found this article earlier. Interesting stuff. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2018/12/11/buick-regal-turbo-t-was-fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the one truth most people don't realize is the 86-87 turbo Buicks were very detuned from the factory and extremely responsive to small bolt on mods . I know 1st hand . Yeah I figured considering it apparently does not take as much modification as one would think to get one of these machines to turn an 11 second quarter mile.
