Well no one remembers the l88 corvettes because of how badass the new zr1 is and a gt500 is a joke with the new mustangs out there , and if you want to get laughed out of a car auction bring a 70 hemi challanger when you could have a hellcat. If a new car is done well it will enhance the old versions of them , the cars you bring up were jokes - barely even performance cars . But I hope the tide has not changed where we won’t even see a new grand national performance car unless you have an electrical engineering degree.I'm jumping in again.
I never ever want Buick to build another "performance" vehicle ever again. Nothing! Nada!
I don't want our group to grow. I don't want to be compared to the next generation Turbo Buick. I don't want my car or any of your cars to become what a 96 Mustang, or a 88 Camaro, or an 89 Corvette, or any other used piece of shit worn out tired sad left over performance car becomes. Because that's exactly what happens when the next best thing hits the market. Everything that came before it will become the one we forget about.
I'm perfectly happy having my little piece of history go unchanged. Not like what happened to Columbus day.

Beech Bend isn’t an 1/8th. mile track, some classes last year chose to run 1/8th instead of 1/4.
I'm sure the guys from the generation before you, driving their 455 GS Skylark's, were saying the exact same thing as you are now when this strange thing started to appear on the Buick showroom floors. They were probably sick to their stomach's. Meanwhile it helped catapult the dying Buick brand and eventually led to the '87 Buick GNX...

How do you own a turbo Buick if you throw away a car for the slightest problem?Manufactures can go scratch their asses.
I have never bought a new car in my life. And never will.
I have never even sold a single car in my life. I Just need a car to do a job. Point A to point B. Then throw it away for the slightest problem. Just like a cheap tool from Harbor Freight.
It's liberating.

Maybe you owned one for about one hour?

Oh that was more directed not towards you but our cars as a whole - if you have trouble free Buick turbo’s then enjoy the unicorns you have - mine have always needed a trunk Richard Clark , that being a play on the trunk monkey to pop out at every red light and fix what’s wrong with my carThere are tools and there are toys.
My daily drivers are tools. My Buick is a toy.
And you may be surprised to hear that my Buick hardly gives me any reliability problems. Project tasks I choose to take on because of my desire for creativity .
Well my car is somewhat like Joeys car,as I have never had any trouble with it. Now Richard just built me a new motor I guess you could say for ha ha’s and I don’t expect any trouble. Now the way Joey and Jack put his car together I am not surprised he doesn’t have trouble.Oh that was more directed not towards you but our cars as a whole - if you have trouble free Buick turbo’s then enjoy the unicorns you have - mine have always needed a trunk Richard Clark , that being a play on the trunk monkey to pop out at every red light and fix what’s wrong with my car
See post #8.We all have opinions on whether we might or might not buy a phantom new GN/GS. But the OP was wondering why all the current owners don’t support the current events.
