what do you hate about gbodys

Gbodies have poorer suspension geometry than most cars from the 1950s, a Bel-Air can easily out handle a G body let alone a modern car. What is so difficult to understand? G bodies have awlful suspension and are as rigid as a wet noodle with thin mild steel construction. Pre 78 G bodies are even built much better that the later ones in the 80s.

G bodies do have many faults and problems with their design, and there is a limit to how many times a old machine can upgraded to current standards. Like a PC can only keep up with newer PCs for so long until you need a newer model. Just about all machines are that way.
 
Please explain how the posts you rated as dumb are dumb. I see that you removed your rating as dumb on a few of my posts

If you explain why you changed your previous post from " I wonder who is rating some of these posts dumb, they should show their face", to " why are you rating post of a couple of members as dumb, clone". Face it you are troll baiting. You never liked me and me it quite clear to me in the past, even more so now.
 
troll bating?, no I'm eating dinner and waiting for a call before I go out. Don't bother answering the question, your avoidance answers it better than you can.

A Bel-Air...easily...out handle gbodys and New cars??? Here's an urban legend...G bodies are called G bodies because they do exactly that, Pull G's in a straight line and around corners! So put away your silly comparisons and tall tales, because there are many great examples of G bodies that can carve corners.

And your PC comparison makes no sense.

One thing I am disappointed with in owning a G body is we don't get the recognition that these cars are greener than a Chevy Volt. Besides not have the many toxic and scarce materials in the batteries of the "green cars" we have kept our cars out of the scrap yard and recycle many parts off of various cars in the scrap yards. Plus many of us have upgraded our cars and we put out less pollutants than these cars did when new.

False, old cars pump out more pollution than new cars and the manufacturing pollution Of New cars isn't great enough to counter act the continued use of old cars.

Also where do you get most people modify their cars to burn cleaner. Most g body owners just rip stuff out and slap on aftermarket carbs, resulting in poorer performance and more pollution than stock. Even most LS swaps just use open tank venting, allowing more hcs, into the air.

Where did I say Bell Airs out handle new cars? Nowhere, quit using strawman arguments. I said 50s, cars and modern cars handle better than a G body. I thought you were an ok guy, guess I was wrong. Lots of stupid people on this forum.

sure, if you say so. I didn't expect you to be able to understand that post anyway. Just mark it dumb and move on please.
 
newer engines that many of us put into our G body do put out less pollutants, the age of the car itself has nothing to do with the emissions the engine puts out. I did not say "most", I said many and I did not say they modify the cars to burn cleaner.

Except how clean an engine burns, it's exhaust output doesn't affect gas tank vapors. Only the setup of the Evap affects tank vapors. Most LS swaps lack any evap control because the owners don't bother, spewing lots of HCS from the gas tank into the air. Also old Gen powered G bodies still greatly outnumber LS powered G bodies, for now.
