Sweet rides!! Don't see many of the Gold TA's....Maybe the GN is the Ricer's GOD....It probably inspired their minds for having a V6 dominate, only thing they forgot was...It's DOMESTIC lol....

I see one gold T/A that looks very nice with C5 Z06 wheels. Then I see another gold T/A that looks even more sexy with C6 Z06 wheels. So which ones are actually on the car? Looks really good either way. Whats being done with the GN? That is one of the nicest cars ever made and called domestic!

Thank you guys very much. I really love the Buick. She's sat for about a year but I have a very experienced Buick guy in OK buidling the new setup. Should be fired up the weekend after this one. He's got a GN that runs 135mph through the 1/4 so I think I'm in good hands

I had only planned on doing a mild stock rebuild so I could run high 11's consistently, but wound up going a little overboard and now it should be able to do mid 10's I think.

Combo is:
GNX dash, .30 over forged TRW's, Billet caps, Champion iron's, beehive springs, T&D Roller Rockers, Comp Cams 206/206 roller, Seiman's 57lb injectors, Eric Marshall chip, PTE FMIC, John Craig TE45A, Jannis tranny, PTS 9x11 3200, THDP, Racetronix 340 kit, OGS Propane, Hooker dual 2.5"

The wheels on the TA in the pic with the Buick is it currently. I sold the C5 Z06's in favor of the C6 Z06's.

I plan on ditching the stock wheels on the GN and getting either Weld Draglite type wheels (common I know, but I have the only GN in the area) or the Bogart D-10 wheels. Not sure yet. Thanks again! Nice shot of the Buick and Z by the way

Congrats on owning two awesome cars and both of them modified very well. One for crazy straight line performance and one for the twistys. Talk about a winning combo.
