Any of you V8 guys post this wonderful inclusive post over on the V6 "other" site?

"From the few times i've stopped in and looked around here, it seems to me that there isn't any Buick enthusiast on here. Therefore they probably don't know what a GSX is if it isn't a Chevy.

This site outta be Chevy.com... no-offense just calling it like i see it."

I personally am just wondering what if any direction the new club will be going in....???

"Most of us that began this club are V-8 guys, with the notable exception of our Vice Chairman, John Schmidt... yes, the screaming turbo V-6 Opel guy!! He is second in charge, and that is no mistake, we needed fair represtation on the governing board of this club, for both V-6 and V-8 guys."

In MHO people who don't know both cars will be prone to infighting and prejudices as evidenced by just a sample of the interesting posts of late.

What will make this club any different from say the GSCA?

PS: I owned a GS400, and still have a '67 Riviera, I believe the turbo cars and the old V8's are more similar than different in performance.

Probably one of the few I might add.

Lastly, what about the Hotairs?
