[Teg2boo]

I tought it was N/A. Every car can do 10 with a turbo 

Put a turbo on the 454 and you're in the 6.x lol

[98redcavz24]

i never said n/a

lol

[deeznutts]

Not feeling the 3G, sir.  I have seen some fast ones but holy shit those things are flexy fliers with a mild 300 whp NA engine.  You can watch the hood twist one way under power, the dash twists the other.

yes from owning 2 i can vouch that these fag wagons def flex a lot only reason i wouldnt own another . had a 89 with a 383 last american car i ever owned that was almost 10yrs ago and i havent owned any thing other than a honda or acura

My father's friend has a 70.5 also, the thing is sex on wheels.  Probably the only chevy I would ever drive.  He was running around 600hp NA until he cracked a piston.  It's probably still on jackstands though, 3 years later

I don't know about only Chevy I'd drive, the old General does make some pretty cool cars even if they aren't anything I'd want to own aka foot the repair bill on.  But as far as the jackstand thing... yeah, us old men as slack as fuck.

The repair bill?  Serioulsy?  I see way more Fords in the shop.  Granted there is an F-150 plant literally down the road from work and home.

Other than goddamn Cadillacs, what do you consider an expensive General Motors vehicle to repair.

[QikEnuF]

I know where a really neato Camaro motor is sitting in an old man's garage down the street.

Nothing the general makes comes close to the $$$ of shit I repair, but Ive seen some heavy repair bills for Buicks and JD's precious 3.8 v2. 

Honestly, Ford shit aint that much more $$$ than GM.  Not even worth noting.

That is kind of my point.  The most expensive bills, for the work performed, I see is for German imports by far.  UInfortunately we get quite a few of them in, and not having all of the equipment to make dealing with them easy sucks ass.

3800s are pretty fucking solid other than intake leaks(a common GM theme) and little bullshit like that.  I have yet to personally see a catastrophic failure that wasn't caused by the owner lacking any concept of automotive maintenance.

Yeah, ive found that alot of what entails working on kraut wagons is a depth of knowledge of the cars, not so much special tools, although they do use a retarded number of them.  Most of which can be had fairly cheap from the 3rd party tool suppliers.

The same could be said for most makes.  At least to be able to fix them in an efficient manner.

I personally have not been trained on German stuff, other than envelope machines lol, so it is difficult for me to try to diagnose oddball problems.  Other than diagnosis, they are pretty much like working on any other car IMO.

Yeah in the end, its all just nuts and bolts.  Although, it seems that the cars that give the least headaches tend to be "easier" I guess. Not much is easier than subarus.  I think they are even simpler than hondas now. 

As such, the level of difficulty of the vehicles tends to determine the intelligence level of the technician I have found. Not too many bright subaru or toyota techs.  Not saying they are all dumb, just fewer smart ones per ca pita.

Lol.  Look at most people turning wrenches on Honduhs.  I have friends that think Honduhs are hard to work on.  Shiiiiiiiiiiit.  There are many domestics that are far worse, and I generally don't consider them to be all that bad.  Ford does love to cram 17 lb of shit in a 3 lb bag though.  Fuck a 2.5 Duratec in a Cougar.  lol.  That and the V8 SHOs.

On the GM side, there is the good ole 4th gen f-body.

Mopar Vehicles are usually extremely easy to work on IMO.

Camaro incar sound

[Joseph Davis]

The shop's future 10.5" Outlaw car, Goforth traded the lesser of the two blower Mustangs for it. 

[bouncinofftherevlimiter]

i had a third gen, it was a 88 iroc, L98 350 TPI. it was a flexy bitch, rattle trap, till i made 2x2 .120 subframe connectors and a 6pt roll cage. the motor had a zz4 cam, a little head/intake work, and crappy hypertech chip.

i had a hard time keeping rear ends in the car, it came with the ra-tarded borg warner 9 bolt disc brake rear. they were a bitch to find and started to get expensive. i sold it and bought my accord,






And to prevent total mullet takeover...

[snm95ls]

Very nice!



I wish I had better pictures of the sub frame connector setup I built for my turd gen.  They were very effectivbe, but a hige apin in the ass to install.  I nver did fully finish welding them in.  lol.

They were .120 wall 2 x 3 rectangular tubing that ran in a notch cut through the floor right next to the rocker.  Welded to the pinch weld at the rocker and a diagonal .120 wall 1 x 2 rectangular brace that ran to the frame rails under the trans tunnel.

Here is the only pic I have scanned and uploaded, and it is an in progress one at that.



Not that anybody cares, but since we are talking about turd gens, I had to reminisce a little.
