    I picked one up on the news stand after work today, but there's no Buick on pg.54 in this November issue. Maybe you have December already?? Or is this another case of the news stand issues not being the same as the subscriber issues?

    Pg. 52 does have an 84 GNX clone, from Bloomington MN.

    It is the December issue. Here's a pic of the article. I hope I don't get into trouble posting them here. Car is a turbo V-6 car.

    Alright, how do I just post a pic, and not a link???

    Phil, I believe you can only attach one image if you want it to actually show in the post. Multiple images show as links.

    Only the Nov issue was on the stands here, I assumed it was current. Guess I'll have to watch for Dec to come out.

    Nice!

    Car is unbelievably flawless and well deserved. Saw it at Car Craft nats this last July in Mn.

    That is impressive! This will teach the brand x'ers what kind of H.P. a Buick is capable of producing.

    There was an article in GM High Tech Perf. last year on Jane Armstrong's Turbo Regal Limited (wife of Red Armstrong of turbo Buick fame) in which he said the car chassis dyno'd 700 HP @ 5200 rpm and 1000 (!) lb.-ft. of torque @ 4300 rpm! The engine is a Stage 1 V6 block w/ Champion iron heads and lots of other goodies, 200-4R tranny w/ Vigilante convertor and weight of 3635 lbs. The article said he ran 10.20s @135. FWIW.

    Those dang pesky "little" turbo V-6's! :rolleyes: :Dou:

    JK.. they've always impressed me, as does this one! ESPECIALLY if he can put ALL OF that Power to the ground!! :eek2: :TU: :jd:

    The turbo'd V-6, seemingly with ease, can make as much OR MORE THAN A 'HOT' 455! :puzzled: :eek: Someday, I hope to get my hands on one! :Brow:

    Damnit, everyone gets their issues before I do!! My December issue hasnt arrived yet.

    I saw that car in Bowling Green as well. (Think I even took a picture or two). Dont believe I saw it make a pass though, but there were so many cars and so much racing its hard to remember. Definitely a sweet car.
