THE "G-BODIES" ARE SO FRIGGEN MODIFY-ABLE !!!
NICE RIDE, MY BIZ PARTNER HAS AN '87 BUICK GN AND WE ARE IN AN UN-SAID COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER FOR YEARS. THE TYPICAL NITROUS VS TURBO, I WIN SO FAR AS HE HAS YET TO INSTALL THE NEW TURBO AND SET OF 44LB INJECTORS I BOUGHT HIM FOR X-MAS THREE YEARS AGO. WHEN HE DOES I WILL BE READY WITH THE 200HP JET SET-UP.
