Lets see here, i had a few 10th anniversary trans ams when i purchased my first turbo buick.
Id probably still have a mullet and watching smokey and the bandit too much.

Soo glad i got out of the pontiac scene, felt like i was pressured to keep it "all stock" and slow was normal.

Bought my first buick and sold 4 pontiacs real quick. I still like the old catalinas, but i just like these bricks!

Well, if the Regals still existed, Id have mine, since it was originally a 307. But instead of swaping out to a 3.8, guess It would have a 455 under the hood.

If that wasnt meant to be, I probably woulda ended up with some older big Buick, a 71 Riv or 70 GS.

Would of turbocharged the 69 GTO sooner and picked up a 70SS 454 Chevelle back in 90's when they were like $10k, not $50k + now.

If Trs Didnt Exist!!!!

Money would not be a problem, i would of had more driving time behind the car and I would get a lil respect instead of earning it..I would definitely have a 455 Regal. i would probaly try and find another 71 Caprice 400. Another option would be a 70-72 Skylark. I just noticed this. Isnt it funny a lot of guys would be driving what we are against Mustangs and Vettes.

 

[turbohye]

actually i agree to an extent but for some like myself, mustangs and vette guys are really cool with us. Some have been pretty anal but for the majority ive met, they respect the grandfather of turbo cars.

 

[1BADWE4T]

I'd probably have a 79 malibu wagon with a motown small block on the gun, or a Rambler S/C clone with a built 401.

 

[GregInAtl]

I'd be doin a 69 Charger, 56 Ford truck, maybe even a Chevy II. Thats a politically correct answer, all 3 covered.

[GNflyby]

I would save lots of money on film equipment.

 

[turbohye]

good point, i think we would all be enjoying some extra cash in our pockets.
any mopar guys in here?

 

[budget_crx]

what a scary thought, i would rock an 83 hurst olds or an aerocoupe most likely.

 

[WIKEDV6]

If there were no Turbo Buicks I would have actually gotten some work done at the office and around the house. Maybe I would even have thought about having kids as well. Now 24/7 my brain is spooling up with boost.

I think I would have bought a 20th anniversary Trans Am. It will be a some sort of turbo set up like the 1979 but more advanced. So even if it wasn’t a Turbo Buick under the hood it would have given me a base point to start with like a turbo SBC setup. I always like the Trans Am, especially the 3rd gen. when I was back in high school in 1986, I was saving up money to buy a GTA, then I went to the auto show and saw a black Regal with a small V6 and a hair dryer, the rest is history.

hmm, ahh,ahhh,heh Grand National, hmmmmm, ahhhh turbo, hmmmm, booost ahhh, eh, ahha, hmmmmm, hmmmm,heh, stage II, hmmmm, ahh,hmmm.

PLEASE SOMEBODY I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
