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."

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

wow, I couldn't handle that place

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?

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.

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