@satchboogyfan I only had those 3 videos of that car (that one and the two video responses ones), video cameras were expensive and rare back then :-) I had a red one with a stock Buick 3.5L V8 (Like the Tr8 engine) before that one, was not as fast but was a lot smoother and it sounded soooooo good, I wanted to modify the engine but parts werent available cause it was a 1960's engine, so I started the Buick V6 project instead. Thanks for posting
@satchboogyfan The Buick 4.1 V6 was made from 1980-84 for Buick Rivieras and Toronados, was marketed as an alternative to V8, and was identical to the 3.8 except for the Bore, and obviously you could squeeze a few more HP than the 3.8. I sold that car in 1990, was a little too rough idle and noisy for my wife's taste, exchanged for a Fiero GT with Nitrous. I Loved that TR7, used to beat almost everything in the street back then but I liked the one I had previous to that one better with a 3.5L V8
Sweet machine.
