Here is the entries thread for the month of April. The topic/ requirement selected was Factory Turbo 6's Vs. Factory H.O V8's.

This means that you can only enter if your car came with and still has the turbo V6 or that "High Output V8". It doesn't have to be the original, just as long as it a #'s matching.

So that means that this month is for the turbo regals (and monte carlos..i forget which year they were turboed) to battle it out with the MC SS's, 442's, Hurst Olds', and any other car that came with that so called high output V8.


Submit pics of your ride along with a description.



Thanks

- mike

Well for the hell of it, heres the hurst
1983 hurst olds, hardtop sandstone interior car. Bought it with rod knock, rebuilt the original 307 ho, added some flowmaster dumps and a shift kit. Everything works in the car, fixed all the odds and ends and did suspension and brakes. Has 153k on the clock, 3k on the rebuild. I know this puts me at 2 cars posted, but since i posted the turbo regal 2 months ago i dont know if its allowed to be posted again.

Fantastic cars. I am jealous that you not only have one beautiful car, but TWO. Don't know which one I am supposed to vote for, but nice cars!!

You took the words out of my mouth! Man there are some beautiful cars on here! What size tires are you running in the rear of the regal joey? Any rubbing issues?

thanks guys! Ive worked hard on both these cars, i have quite a bit of time and money in these cars but i love them (sometimes haha). I wish i still had my 84 monte ss i had to sell 2 years ago, that was still my dream car. Tire size in the rear is 275-50-15 MT et streets, no rubbing normally only if i have a full car load of people (but i can pump the air bags in the case haha). The 275-60-15 look the best, but they do rub from past experiences.
Suffrn6, your car has an awesome stance, what kind of springs do you have in there?
