ey bob..im not narrow minded just a "little" partial to my car as you are to yours.
Oh, no doubt I'm partial to my car. But I've been around long enough to know that there are plenty of other fast cars out there too - certainly including TR's. You, however, obviously have tunnel vision. That's ok - it is a sympton of excessive youth. Translation - you'll likely grow out of it. Some grow out of it earlier than others.
..I think there are plenty of other people on this board that would have this same little
arguement with you till you and that other buick owner were blue in the face.
Perhaps. But my previous experience with this Forum (I've was registered for quite some time on the old UBB) is that most are intelligent, insightful enthusiast vice trash-talking know-it-all internet racers. Know what I mean? No, I suppose you don't. Nevermind.
just as if you went over to the LS1 page, or any other board that isn't a mustang board
someone is not going to agree with everything you say and support your opinion.
Ya think? I tend agree. Why? Cause I've been a member of LS1.com since May of 98 (I had an LS1). I've been a member of CZ28.com for just about as long. I don't ask everyone there - or here - to 'support my opinion'. However, a great many of those folks are broad-minded enough to be able to carry on a reasonable conversation/debate. Then again, there are others that have folks just like you....ie....if you don't own a [insert car brand here], then you ain't ****. Mustang Forums are not immune to that either.
In this case it was ME..you wanna call me inmature be my guest,
Can I please? Thank you. Actually though, I feel as if I'm just pointing out the obvious. If I never said a word, the same thing would be quite evident.
i come on here to chat and have a little "fun" conversation with people, more commonly other buick owners, NOT mustang owners!!
Of course. I humbly apologize for ruining your little diatribe. Please ask the Admins of this site to kick me off because I only drive a Mustang.
If i wanna talk to mustang owners, i would go register on one of their boards. But have no reason to because I OWN A 1987 BUICK GN, not a mustang.
And I'm sure you enjoy your car. Cool. I'm glad.
As for the stock 00 & 01 gt's running 13.9, haven't seen that yet, but hear the potential is there for the newer 01's to do it, yet never seen the later models(00 back to 92) run those et's stock.
Remember that ignorance statement I made a while back? Please allow me to give you an example. There is no mechanical difference between a 99 GT and a 01 GT. A 92 (or 93, or 94, or 95) GT shares absolutely nothing in common with a 00 GT (outside of the very basic chassis). You see, that is why I call you an 'internet racer' - because you 'hear things', or make up things that sound good, but don't know them.
Bottom line is, bolt on for bolt on it has been proven over and over again(refer to the new GMHTP) Theres no mustang or any other car for that matter can compete with Buick's with no internal mods,(maybe supra's) even though most of the competion has two more cylinders then the buicks do.
You know something? I love TR's. I really do. I really started liking them in 86 (I'm sure you know why), and was very disappointed to see them go away when GM went to FWD on its mid-sized cars in 88 (you were born then, right?). A potent package from the factory, anything with a Turbo responds well to 'bolt-on' mods, simply because you have the ability to easily turn up the boost. That isn't possible on non-boosted cars - thus the beauty of the TR's (and TTA's, and to a bit lesser extent, Sy/Ty's). I learned this back in 88/89 when I had my Mustang Coupe, and a good friend had an 87 'T'. With minor mods on both cars, he consistently outran me. But instead of getting mad about it, I admired the cars, and decided that if it was possible, I'd own one some day. Things didn't work out, but hey, that's life.
Now I have something different. It will never be fast enough for me, but I love it, and that's what really matters. Being able to come here and smack overly-nieve folks around a bit is just icing on the cake.
Show me a domestic car witth bolt-ons running those times.
That runs what times? The quickest domestic non-boosted 'bolt-on' car I've ever heard of is an LS1 that went 12.5's (actually 2 of them, but that's beside the point). I have heard of, but can't remember the details, an 89 TTA going high 10's on stock internal parts, and have no doubt it is possible. And please, I know what a TTA is, so don't make a weak attempt at any lectures...unless you just feel the need, I guess.
Regardless, its still a rather silly, pointless arguement. But hey...tis entertaining.
So if u wanna brag about what your car did, thats fine, do it somewhere were the people will appricitate it, cause on this page as far as I go, i only talk about wasting rustangs.
a) I didn't come here bragging. You said you didn't believe it, I offered proof. You then turned it into a Jr. High-school level discussion, and I answered (perhaps foolishly).
b) I have no delusions about you 'appricitating' it. That was obvious before I ever posted.
Inmature and about 2 seconds faster then your mustang will ever be.
That is about the most ignorant statement you've made in this entire thread - even AFTER you corrected yourself. "when I get this mod and I get that mod and if I ever go to a real track and blah blah blah blah blah". Internet Racer. Nothing else needs explaining.
Interesting perspective, but jealousy won't get you far. So tell me....how much prize money have you won this year? How many National events have you won? Been interviewed on
Inside Drag Racing yet? How about magazine appearances? Do you actually have an 11 second timeslip? Have you ever even seen one?
Yup, tis a 'gay thing' I do for sure.
BTW...I don't like peaches, but I am certainly enjoying my day. Many thanks, kiddo.
