Hi fellas, I finally got my baby back: 1998 Buick Park Avenue Ultra. Feels so much better than my crappy '00 Impala.
The second day I had the car my buddy wanted to race me, he has 1996 Nissan Maxima auto, he was bragging all evening how he's gonna beat me so finally we line up, three honk and we're off: first gear I'm half car in front, second I just pull about 3 cars on him and shut down - there's no need to continue. We went three times in total - same result.
The other day some ricer in a 1997ish Toyota Camry LE 4 cyl with a big fartcan tries to race me, half way on the throttle and he's far far away.
Scion TC wanted some and got it - got 2 cars on him, and ahh a ricer fly by after - silly.
Two days ago a 1999 Me/Be e320 4matic got into race with me, actually this one was close I had only half a car on him but then I remembered that I had my A/C on and he didn't. Still, kicked his ass.
Twenty minutes ago a 2000 silver mercury cougar wanted to race and again 3-4 cars on him.
For some reason like every 5th car wants to race me. Maybe because I got a cherry red, granpamobile. People think its slow, but for some reason everyone that tried to race me got beaten.

Ah, the Ultra... with the sleepers best friend the Supercharged 3800.

I'll race ya :p Good kills for the grandpamobile! Those things can be beasts.

I didnt know those Ultras came with a supercharger. Nice kills :)

nice runs(thumbsup)
how much does the a/c really hurt you?

Thanx alot. Actually I thought that A/C would take alot of power, but it wasn't that bad, maybe I lost a few horses (10-15?) but it was fun: the guy was sweating his balls and I was nice and chilly.

Thankx to everybody who replied. If my stories are not that boring I can post every race, even on my workhorse 1999 GMC Savana, its up to you guys.

anything goes nothing going on round these parts

sounds liek fun. isnt that the same block in the gtp? i think you have a lot of modding to do :).

^^^^ yes it is the same as the GTP...240/280 but it is about 350 pounds heavier than the GTP. A sleeper none the less.

Mod that thing and it will be alot faster. 3.4 pulley with supporting mods would probably put you in the mid to low 14's. Very respectable if you ask me for a grandpa car....

it may not be the fastest thing in the world, but if somebody underestimates you they'll have their hands full.

A mid to high 14 second car will give a mid 13 second car trouble of the 13 second car is caught off guard.

Yeah, somebody did underestemate my car today. And can you beilive it, not even something worth - a 1996 Dodge Caravan:loser: , it wasn't even funny, this guy was pissed at the next light, well when he arrived like half an hour later :biggrin: I was lughing my ass off, my stomach still hurts.
