The Turbo Buick ran great. No it did not spin 300 feet as you are saying. 8.40 at 163.00 MPH is right there with E.T. to speed. Maybe just a little slow on the E.T. for 163 MPH but not spinning for 300 feet slow. Why is it guys can never just post this is what my car runs and have to come up with excuses as to why it didn't go faster ? This is a great running car no excuses needed. Has 8.31 on the window which I assume is what it ran on a clean pass and matches up with 163 MPH pretty well.

@1951RKP Thanks for the interest, but you really need to actually read the description..but for you, I shall paraphrase.... It spun at the launch AND the last 300 ft according to what the DRIVER told me. Now how is it you know better? Excuses? Thats pretty funny.

Are you sure it was a 4.1L v6? That doesn't sound right. I know chevy made a 4.1L I6. Unless it's just a bored 3.8L GN motor to a 4.1L. That would make sense.

@snowman4839 It is a "Stage 2" 4.1L V6 (see video description). This block was originally produced and sold By GM for competition use (Indy, SCCA Trans-Am, IMSA Gtp, drag racing, etc..) This is not an Engine found in a standard production car, it is a much stronger block capable of withstanding almost 2000 hp (with appropriate mods!)

1500hp my ass. i watched the vid several times, and know from experience about these cars. i would say at very best, its only making about 1480-1490hp.

@gmpushrodpower or it could be from die hard v8 fans.

How many PSI does it take for the 3.8 V6 (not the 4.1 in this vid) to be in the 8 sec. range?

I wish the 3.8 in my Firebird was the same exact engine, instead of the water down version.

damn that is very nice!!!

[gmpushrodpower]

5 dislikes came from Supra fags,

stunned when they saw THIS V6.

@jgong8638 --- I know different because I have been drag racing for over 40 years and I know no matter how a car runs the drivers/owners will always say it spun and could of ran better. LOL How do I know ? I've used the same excuse. You would be suprised how many people buy into it. LOL That's just the way racers are. Then again what do I know. No matter what it's a great running car. It's all fun.
