Mr1der calling me a tard. WEll, I gues I deserved that.

And I found a 3.1 turbo from the pontiac for $900. I was going to toss that thing in my 91 Z24. Mod that sucker out, talk about a nice sleeper. But I gave my Z to a friend who was broke and down on his luck. The dill weed ragged my Z to pieces.

Its possible, I know we havent had one that has seen more than 25k though...

Apparently they take more boost fairly good because those crazy GTP guys do all kinds of crazy stuff like that.... I never understood 300+ HP going to the front wheels... Kinda like seeing a girl thats really hot but she's crippled.. not much you can do with em.....

not fun in something that big...

civics however can drag their a** around.....it's rather amusing....

FWD is good in really short cars....much easier to control.

really short rwd cars tend to spin out a lot...

pssst...not that it matters because they are both gm...but the 3.8 turbo v6 in the GN and 89 Turbo T/A was actually designed by Buick.
