omg, my dad bought a g8 gt in liquid red with black racing stripes,Originally Posted by Lawngoose
19" rims, and chrome accent pieces...that car is slick...and blew
the !@#$ doors off my gtp like i was standing still. We're taking
them to the track tuesday night to see just how horribly bad he
smokes me even. And he asked if he got an owners discount, which
totally made me lose it and laugh at the negotiation table.
and as far as american vs japanese, i buy american, but my 1st
car was a 92 acura integra hatch. my friend still drives that
car and the only thing thats ever been changed is the waterpump,
timing chain, tires, and belts. since i sold that car, i have blown
up an 87 silverado, and 2 cavaliers and my 3rd is right behind it.
seems they dont like the 200,000+ mark while that acura is almost
at 275,000 without even valve rattle.
87 Silverado - 217,000 no one could figure out why it didnt run. parted out.
96 cavalier 2.2 - 190,000 timing chain jumped
98 cavalier 2.4 z24 - 185,000 thrown rod, perfect service records from the dealer i bought it from's service shop.
02 cavalier 2.2 - 160,000 head rebuilt due to extreme valve rattle and severe drop in horsepower. runs fine now....for now.
but i have to admit, i had fun driving the bejesus outta all of my chevrolets. not to say i didnt beat the acura either. but i prefer chevrolet. except give me a GTR! mwahaha.
