Default In car video of pass in Geo Metro ~ 9.85
Just found this on my the computer the other day and thought I'd share. This pass just so happened to be at a NOPI event. After I made the run, a few people came over to see it. They were severly dissapointed it was a domestic motor in it.

It is a 3.8 liter GN motor. You can find that vid by just looking up the GS Nats.

Hehe, repping the V6 group. I wonder how many were like "Why'd you mod a V6?"

I figured it was a GN motor, sounded pretty familiar and holy cow was that turbine loud. Good run!

Yep, it's a Buick 3.8, actually a Stage 1 with some ported Champion heads, a cut 20/20 stock crank and stock rods. Liquid IC behind the dash, Big Stuff 3, 1.76 glide w/ a brake and a 4 link rear.

I should mention, it has the exact same hoodscoop as yours. It's off a parted out SS and molded on to the stock hood. Fully functional with a filter to boot !!
