Re: bought our 22 year old Son a mint 86 GN
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RPOLS3</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Do yourself and your son a favor - if those are the original 1987 vintage Eagle GT's, replace them with a set of repo's from Rusty here (goes by Smallhurst on this site) and make sure your son understands how the boost comes on in those cars. If you are not used to that feel it can get you into trouble quickly. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]
Great car and nice restoration - have fun with it.</div></div>
Damn straight -- the turbo Buicks are real "peaky" and when you hammer them if you are not ready or not used to the turbo-lag it will get away from you in a heart beat. With that being said, take the young man out to a large open area (parking lot as an example) and let him get used to the feel of this beast. Just sayin' ...
