Greetings and Salutations! Beware of Zap and Nasty, just use the yup and everything will be fine.

I was just lookin on auto trader and I found an 86 regal turbo t with "many bolt ons, runs 12's" for $6000. It only has 48K miles on it too. Daddy like. yup

Orlando_87GN · 08-29-2003, 10:54 PM

Welcome!

If it's not a rust bucket $6k is a great deal for the stated mileage. I am sure the guys on this board can assist you in some way of picking out a car. Good luck and let us know when you join the dark side! thumb_up

sparky · 08-29-2003, 11:00 PM

Sadly, it will be a little while before I could buy one. I would want to sell my car first, and I can't really until I get out of tech. school (2 or so years from now). I guess that gives me plenty of time to look and not make a hasty decision.

No,but you are still welcome here,and good luck in purchasing a Buick. powersix headbang

sparky · 08-30-2003, 03:07 PM

Sorry about the ford remarks. I have just have had bad luck with them in the past and I have NEVER had a problem with a GM car/truck. Sorry, I will keep the bashing to myself. I do love lightnings though. I would like to pick one up one day, maybe to tow my buick to the track! wink

I am not in tech school yet, but I am going to go to Wyotech in July. I am going to go through the collision/refinishing coarse. Ive been wanting to do that since I was in the fetus, if you know what I mean.

I guess it is sorta a dream of mine, a dream that came true!

Again, sorry about the ford remarks. I guess I just need to be around them more than I already am. It will never happen agian, I promise.

Hey, while I already look like an idiot for bashing fords, here comes a stupid newbie question. What do Regal T's run in the 1/4 stock? Is there any good informative web sites that have some good information like that, horsepower, torque, 0-60, 1/4, ect. ect.?

salvageV6 · 08-30-2003, 03:44 PM

Dude this a Buick site you can bash ferds daily anytime you want.

Why you ask? Because they suck!!! wink

Okay back to the topic at hand... BUICKS!

TTA89 · 08-30-2003, 04:13 PM

Yeah they suck the doors of inferior GM products yup yup

A Typical 86-87 Turbobuick stock ran low to mid 14s. I have seen them at the track recently running 15s so after all these year who knows.

It's the fact that you can make a mid 14 second car run 12s in an afternoon for under a grand and do it without changing how the car drives from stock. Thats what makes the Turbobuicks RULE powersix

P.S. Wendy has has an 02 Lightning and I have an 03 Lightning. I just sold a 98 LS1 Trans-am that was the biggest POS. I also have an 89 Turbo T/A and Wendy owns an 87 GN. We just like giving the Buick guys a hard time headbang

How can you tell where a Ford owner lives? Look for the two mailboxes. One for the regular mail and one for the Ford recall bulletins! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! headbang

Nasty Wendy · 08-31-2003, 09:27 PM

I know you can do better than that.
