I am in the market for a Summer Toy. I have always had a thing for GN's. What would throw me in the seat more a 87 or something like a 71 Duster with a 340??
thanks

Turbo,
I know to many people have told me the same thing you just did, what gives though I mean a 340 Duster and a 6 Cylinder that I heard has a little Lag. I also heard when that Lag is over all hell breaks loose, just so hard to comprehend.
First off, I'm going to suggest you stay away from a Turbo Buick until you do some research - otherwise you will probably hate owning one. Unless you know all the finicky things with the LC2, it can drive you crazy and cost you a lot of money. I always thought a turbo buick was more of a hobby car instead of a toy car, because you will probably spend more time under the hood than in the drivers seat. But it's VERY rewarding, and I've never considered selling mine.
I owned a 340 duster and regret selling it, but it doesn't even compare to a well-tuned buick.

The GN you can do minimal mods in terms of performance and have it put a smile on your face. The Duster will probably be more eye candy to most but will require even more mods to make it anywhere the stallion of a GN. Plus those Dusters were known to rust so you'll probably end up spending a lot more finding one that's not rusted to death or pay for someone to repair the rust damage for you. Of course the 340 I'm sure is probably easier to work on whereas the GN's sometimes have little electrical gremlins.I am in the market for a Summer Toy. I have always had a thing for GN's.
