kill a old V8 buick.

a friend of mine drove his dads 88 V8 buick, not really any mods, just the little ones, like custom flowmaster exhaust, and little stuff like that. i got out of school, and he yells, hey you want to race, ok ,i think haha a V8 buick against a V6 firebird, which will win. we get to a straight away, and stop together, he yells go and we both slam the gas, i smoked him all the way to 110, where i started to let off the gas and he turned around, haha what a loser.

Dude, what kind of Buick V8?? AFAIK, there were no V8 '88 Buicks, short of the Electra Wagons....

And if you lost to one of those, I would personally drive to TX just to whoop you

the said buick probably had a 307 olds motor, not known for its "perkiness" i don't mean to down play your victory steve, (you v6 guys don't come by them often lol j/k) but i can produce a quicker 0-60 time on my bicycle than a buick or olds with the non HO 307. the non HO 307 is simmilar in power to the LG4 305. in short, your car SHOULD have smoked his, v6 cars aren't that pathetic!

PS: i'm sorry, i just have to poke at you v6 guys a little. i think it is a friendly rivalry and i welcome any smart comments you guys can muster in return about my v8, just keep them friendly!!

Dude, what I was getting at was that there were no V8s installed in any Buicks in '88, besides the Electra Wagons....

i don't know, he said it was a V8 and, yes i know, i did smoke him, thats why i'm kind of thinking it might have been i V6, but i'm not sure, i'm not trying to brag about it, gust letting everyone know.
