bahahahaha, this guy definitely doesn't conceal how he feels (he writes for Muscle Car Review) "The challenge to put together a bone-stock versus modified comparison initially had me looking for one of those loathsome, Pro Touring, poseur cars. Even out here in the Midwest, the trend is catching on, with a growing contingent of people who are ditching their 14s and 15s for more contemporary wheel-and-tire packages. I have to admit that there are certainly economical advantages to keeping a car on jackstands until show time and then borrowing the 20s off Mom's tricked-out Suburban. Sure, the brakes no longer work, the steering radius is halved, and all potholes most be plotted out prior to departure. But doggonit, those diamond-studded, five-spoke rims draw the crowds at the drive-in."

slow morning

I have an 80gig for sale if you're interested. Brand new, still sealed up.

wow, I couldn't handle that place

Yes.

I bet your valves float so bad that your rpm is limited and you couldn't get anywhere near there. Sort of a factory rev limiter on the old stuff. I think that's what happens in the Camaro too. That or it just runs out of airflow.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :woot:

I much prefer low-end torque to a rpm-er.

Yeah, I don't know about putting a BMW engine in it. Not as bad as a Ford motor I guess But really, how much would something like that cost and how much fab work would I need to do to get it to work?

awesome

That's another of the ideas, but the only pro that has is the unique aspect. Inline=torque monster and reliability greater than any V. I really don't think a boosted, 40 year-old I6 can match the reliability of a basically stock LQ9. Maybe a stock I6 can, but in order to get the power offered by the SBC or LQ9, it'd have to be pretty wild.

It won't.

That's another of the ideas, but the only pro that has is the unique aspect.

try to return something without a receipt and people look at you like you're trying to give them the plague
