I post how this car sucks, as all buicks do, because it's soft, not even really a luxury car, and boring. So boring that it makes a Camry seem exciting. But yet... all these people defend it. There are tons of people excited about this car... and I'm not high right now, but what the hell is everyone else smoking?

You are a moron. Please go fall in a well.

A white GNX, real or not, just seems wrong.

For those who don't know, this is Final Gear's 99 Buick LeSabre racing at the 24 Hours Of LeMons about 2 months ago.

Buick 455 >>> Olds 455.

Don't forget about the Stage 2.

Saw one in the flesh take off down the road at full throttle. Tires were still screaming in third. i came. hard.

Torque, torque, and more torque. Mine has got gobs of torque and it's just a regular 455. I can only imagine what the Stage 1 is like (let alone the Stage 2). Yes. There was a Stage 2.

Don't worry. I could never forget the Stage 2. It's just it wasn't exactly "factory" and for most of us will never be more than a wet dream.

This month's Muscle Car Review is almost cover to cover GS and 442's. The Stage 2 goodies could be gotten by the public, you just had to know the right part numbers and a dealer who would install them, neither were an easy feat. And TA Performance has Stage 1-4 heads cast in aluminum, so the dream isn't that far fetched. They also have aluminum 455 blocks with 4 bolt mains.

73GMCSprint · November 20th, 2009, 6:01 AM

I sure wouldn't mind a set of TA Stage 1 heads. Stage 4s would be fun but the Stage 2+ heads use a different header. It's too bad Kenne Bell quit doing Buick stuff. They got started doing Buick parts and AFAIK their long-tube headers are still the best for the Stage 1 (or less) 455, if you can find any.

Punisher Bass · November 20th, 2009, 6:12 AM

I'd love to build a 70 GS convertible clone with a set of Stage 2 heads.

Finalgear: defying stereotypes and defending all car brands to the death. I'm going to create a thread entitled, "People on Autoblog love Hyundais. WTF." and see if you guys can do your worst. images/smilies/twisted.gif

Also, I think the OP went to trade in his Prelude for an Electra Wagon.

Buick is a once-great brand still striving to return to greatness despite decades of corporate mismanagement; it's not like we're defending Chery.

Gruv is getting reptally destroyed here.

I was going to get the "I see what you did there" pelican out, but unfortunately he got hit by a Bugatti. Maybe sometime in the near future, some construction workers will unearth him from the shallow grave that is that marsh.

But for now, Fry will have to do.

I liked the last Riviera always thought it was an excellent looking car. It is a bit weird to see all the Buick love as that its a brand the GM really abused and left to die. GM put more money into Pontiac and Saturn before they dropped them into the void. So where exactly is the Buick market are they going back to being the business mans car?

Yes, you are wrong.
And I live in a country where they don't even sell Buicks.

Also, you whine about cars and get pwnt about people who like them, you then proceed to whine about the whining on another forum... what did you expect?

You FAIL at the internet
no, it's actually worse than that
You fail at failing.

Then thank this man right here, Harley Earl. He not only kick started the idea of an in-house styling department, but is also considered the father of the concept car (the Y-Job and LeSabre being the perfect example). He also was behind the Corvette along with many other GM cars.
