race soon need opinions

NICE KILL my friend used to have one those SHO's and his was FAST but I like skylarks better or just buicks in general

 

oh ya, my 98 lasabre with 128k will light the tires up while doing 90 mph and was used for several nascar speed tests to train drivers!!!! no, really. :spank:

 

also if you put it in reverse and floor it it will do a wheelie.

 

Really?! i thought mine was the only one that did that! o No:

 

I think I am confused by the "factory modified" term. I always thought that if a car is as it came from the factory, then it was stock. If a person ordered a Skylark from the factory and had GM install a 455 stage 2 in it, then for that particular vin #, a 455 Stage 2 is stock. People who show there numbers matching all original musclecars might be offended if you tell them they need to pull their intake and put a 2 barrel on it and single exhaust to restore their car to stock. If the manufacturer of a vehicle puts out a brochure that shows an option of DOHC or a supercharger or both, and those items are installed on the line, it is STOCK. Now, if the factory built the car with a 350-2 and after the car was finished they pulled the 350-2 out and installed a 455-4, and the vin# still showed it was built with a 350, then I would say you have a factory modified car. I think 71buickgs is correct in implying that no factory produced car is modified. The car owner does the modifying. Every car built, is stock, when it is built, that is what stock means. Modified means that you changed the way the car was made. A GS is not a modified Skylark, it is a stock GS. If you take a Skylark and make it into a GS you now have a modified car, not stock anymore. And it is not factory modified, since the factory didn't modify it, you did. Does that make sense, or are some of us stressing semantics. I hope my explanations are not too copious for any diminutive comprehensions out there.

 

thank you, for saying that, i feel less crazy now, but on another note, this thing has gotten so off topic, it just needs to die. If we want to start a technology thread or something like that, thatd be way better than hijacking this man's thread even further.
