I'm talking a RWD car with a LS7 in the motherfucker that no one outside of real car people know about. I'm talking another car that makes people in car magazines say that buick has no right to make a car that is faster than the corvette like they did in the 80's.

I think we'd all like to see a return of the GSX and GNX but in case you haven't noticed, Buick has stopped making performance cars and has shifted all its focus to the luxury shit. Look at their spokesman, Tiger Woods is all about selling luxo models to the middle class... the golfer demographic and soccer moms, etc. Just look at the Lucerne

According to Scott Settlemire (Fbodfather), who spoke at the Ontario Camaro Nationals on June 10 of this year, the Camaro--should it go into production--won't appear in 2007 or 2008. While that doesn't literally rule out 2006, common sense does.

From what Settlemire said, this is speculation.

The Challenger concept is very large and heavy.

you could always drill a bunch of holes in it to make it lighter...
like that guy who's dropping an LS1 into a Prelude on that other thread

That's what buick has always done. Their place in GM has always been right under caddy.

Chevy < Pontiac < Olds/Saturn < Buick < Caddy

I saw that too! I figure they wouldn't just show a concept car in a commercial like that.

yeah I know that's pretty common knowledge. My point being, when's the last time Buick made anything really fast? Not in a loooong time.
and I'm afraid not anytime soon.
