Hhhmm....let's see....

I dislike how the powermaster doesn't have a firm feel to it when you step on the pedal, instead it feels like you're stepping on a plum to make it stop. it does stop ok though, just not like my non turbo Regal that had vacuum brakes.

I dislike how these cars are theft magnets X 100. What's so special about a 22 y/o G body? Why not go after the more expensive cars like Ferarris or something?

I dislike how parts are hard to find. These are collector cars like a Chevelle or a GTO and they now make parts again for them.

I dislike how it takes someone who knows how to fix these cars to fix them. Never thought for 1987 they were that complicated. You'd think after 20 years they'd have it nailed down.

I dislike the 85 mph speedometer. But I guess no one ever thought a GN should go any faster than 85 mph.

I dislike how quirky these cars can be. There's tons of cars on the road that have a DIS, MAF, MAP, IAC, TPS....and none of them are near as quirky as one of these cars are.

And I hate how the factory paint jobs were pure sh!t and the bumper filler pans crack and the og pieces are not even being repopped...sorry plastic doesn't cut it.

Ok I'll shut up now and try to think of how cool it is to cruise in luxury and still whoop on V8's with less than 2 cylinders. Maybe that will gloss over the "what I dislike" stuff.
 
The only thing I dislike about my T is that there are very few local Buick freindly shops up here in my end of Canada. There is also the scarce support from other Buick enthusiasts. Not that they won't help, it's just that there aren't that many around here it seems. I have a friend that owns a mechanical shop and he is great for everything like suspension brakes etc. I am talking about Buick specific tuning and troubleshooting. I do some myself just out of necessity, but sadly after a cardiac event last year I get too tired to crawl around under a car or lean over an engine for too long. I made myself a promise that if I had any more back trouble, someone else is going to own a beautiful white T next year.
You guys should consider yourselves lucky to live in proximity to people like Cal Hartline, Jack Cotton, John Anderson or Lou Czarnota, just to name a few. Other than that complaint it has been great to own something as special as a Turbo Buick.
 
How about the side window popping outwards at 100+ mph. First time it did that I was surprised.

Steve, brakes and handling can be addressed. There are good stock brake parts out there and front/rear swaybars and control arm bushings. All it takes is $.:wink:
