Awwww, there sure is an awful lot of love going around in here.
Or maybe it's all the "holiday cheer"?
This IS an awsome group!
When we (me & Tonya83T) got our first TB I was in G-body heaven. I had never been particular about the year/combo. Like most of you I love them all. From the turbo'd Century's to the GNX, I'd have every model if I could, lol.
But not until I owned a carb'd TB did I realize the prejudice (had to look it up) that existed towards our cars. Not by everyone of~course but more than I expected. I've been told "have fun PLAYING with your carburetor (didn't look up)", "Have fun PLAYING with your 15 sec. car"(thnxgnvair
), "It'll NEVER go that fast", "Stop wasting your time with that", "your in Honda territory now", lol I kinda liked that one. Most commonly when you meet an '87 owner in person he always HAS to throw out something like "You know the IC cars are much faster~right"
nicely said of~course but what do they think
That I'm some dumbass that knows nothing about our cars?
After recieving those kinds of attitudes it has made me want to stay with a carb'd/turbo set up more than ever! All of us as a group are getting faster, I've been watching this develope. I firmly believe this will continue with all the hard work evryone has been putting into their cars. You guys got it right when you said that these cars are what Hot Rodding is all about... Taking something that is supposed to be SLOW & making it FAST!
There are so many that have been good to me in this group.
I'm not even gonna start trying to name everyone.
From Dirt cheap parts to free articles & wiring/vacc. diagrams showing up in the mail

This is truly what grassroots racing is all about. I never really stepped back & looked at it in quite that light before.
Thanks everyone for all your help & encouragement.
Thanks for arguing with me some also
I do feel as tho I've made some friends here.
