    Buying a Turbo Regal, opinions welcome.

    Maybe this has been asked before.. When you are looking for a TR, and with the prices, I am, would you prefer one with stock or near stock parts and condition, or would you want one with "Tasteful" and effective bolt on parts that are already there? I say this because the car prices...

    Pontiac GTP Turbo

    I dont know the year but its the black model with gold wheels and the turbo hood. I saw one on the side of a business collecting pollen and dirt. Im sure it can be had for cheap after talking to the owner. My concern is this. Is the drivetrain strong enough for mods? And can they be made...

    Cutting out Cat. converter

    I know of the better flow it gives to eliminate the converter, but on Biucks, do you have to do anything to the ECM to let it know it's not there? I know on Fox Stangs, you just plug in the O2 sensors and that's it. Thanx.

    Racing question

    Ive noticed on Youtube and Streetfire, that sometimes at the dragstrip, some cars will have the light count down to green and cars will sit there and build boost I assume. But the cars dont take off when the light turns green, is this a technique? What is the purpose of this? Thanx.
