The Only 3300 lb. Buick V6 in the 8s using...

[Alky V6]

Dear professor, genius-of-all-things mechanical, sir,

Do you think you could go back and start this thread over with this new self-revelation in view? Even though you are clearly much smarter than the rest of us, we think you might be wrong about a few other things as well, given the performance of your combination.

Sincerely,

Your dumb students

No need to start over. Anyone with any sense will be able to disregard the mistake and go on from there.
Do you need any special tutoring?

And a FORD on top of that.... let alone 600lbs lighter...

Arrrg! A Ford. Figures. Looks like I had frybrain all figured out. Not enough brains to try doing it with a V6. Especially, a Ford V6.

 

[Alky V6]

So what happened, frybrain. Did all the other racing forums kick you out and now you're here to pick on V6s?

Is that how you roll, big boy?

Nope, I dig turbo buicks. I've wanted one since I was 17 in 1987. Finally got one this year. That's my street cruiser.

Also, both this car and my Mustang are 3200# with driver.

Can you explain something though... what is the deal with making a race car out of a convertible??

I have never understood that. Doesn't that top want to rip off at the top end??

That car is an ASC Mclaren, which is actually different than a regular convertible Mustang, and kind of rare for a foxbody. The top looks kind of like a Mercedes of that vintage when it's up, and the car is a factory 2 seater. The guy just really liked the car. It's 25.5 and has all the good stuff with a 302 based race block and a 98mm turbo. It's been almost 190mph and the top hasn't been an issue yet.

Buick guys are familiar with ASC Mclaren, this site has a sub-forum dedicated to them... :wink:

Yeah those are sweet cars. I grew up in Livonia and actually saw the lot full of GNXs back in the day when ASC was doing them. Wish I had taken a picture.

And that ain't kisses or hugs. Special hugs, maybe. :wink:




:biggrin: Fryguy and YouLikeThat love this.

Guys, get a room.

Maybe, YouLikeThat likes small compressors? :tongue:

 

[Alky V6]

You ladies that keep hating on my large compressor, I can understand how you must feel.
You park yourself in a stall next to another guy, and while you're fiddling with your small compressor, you glance over your shoulder to see this gigantic compressor. Maybe there are gigantic compressors on both sides of you. That's got to be very intimidating to see such large compressors. Probably makes your compressor shrink a little bit.
Well, all is not lost. There are websites out there that will help you increase the size of your compressor. Ah,... should only take about six weeks, and you too can have a large intimidating compressor.
Your car will love it too. Nothing gets her to the finish quicker than a large compressor.

So keep hating on my large compressor, ladies. I know where you're coming from. :wink:

 

[turbo nasty]

Compressor

 

[Alky V6]

Oh yes,... compressor. :wink:

Fryboy says, "You're so dumb. Your 8 second car is so stupid. It's soooo stupid that it's,... it's,... well, it's just stupid."

YouLikeMeTooMuch says, "Look! Look! Look! He said compressor! Tee hee. Isn't that against the posting rules?"

Don't be jealous. and i like two small compressors. That's twice the fun as one big one.

He's clueless as usual. I have one that's much bigger than his, and one that's smaller but still works better
