I am some what new to the Buicks, but have been racing mustangs for years. When things first started getting hot and heavy between the two, the Buicks had them covered . Now It seems to be the other way. I am not trying to say mustangs are better or anything, don't get me wrong I love my 86 GN . Still the Buicks are now taking tricks from the mustangs and trying to convert them to our cars. The biggest differance I can tell between the two groups is competition. The mustangs have their own racing series ( NMRA) that put's out a bi-monthly paper filled with stories about their cars, their series, as well as new products!! The thing is over 50 pages and great reading. The series, in conjunction with the paper, full of vendor ads, helps promote competition between vendors. This preasures manufactures to come out with new products and lower prices on existing products. The paper promotes the east coast / west coast race series that gives the Mustang racers a chance to compete in many classes, thus helping the manufactures know what works and doesn't . All this has taken these cars from not very impressive to being able to run mid 7's on 28x10.5's, and drive the cars to cruse night's or street races.I am very excited that these ideas could be used to push Buick performance levels forward.
