    They always seem to forget that its a HONDA engine in the write ups.... Sorry a pet peeve... :rolleyes:

    These headlights simply have 'eyelids' or possibly even tape/vinyl over the stock lights... Overall it would sell even just for the looks - but I would rather see it in person to make a better judgement
  3. The best looking 4 door G6 yet! :) Rousch does testing (ie R&D) for all of the big three... but I believe this is the first time they have came out with a 'kit' for anything other than a Mustang/Ford

    If the concept is "Open Air' and the big draw is the glass panels - shouldn't we get a pic showing that? :P I guess I will just have to wait...

    Looks like a Solara and a G35/350Z had a baby :P

    :worthless: (Sorry I couldn't help it...)
  7. I think that was the only time I have ever seen an Alero 5 speed too.... :P

    Thanks Olds Guy - I will have to keep my eyes open! X-mas is coming!! :P
  9. I appreciate you posting that article a LOT! It would have been interesting to see the numbers for the Toro in '91 with the engine refinement (and 5 more Hp!) The gas milage jumps out at me too!! Even with 150K on the clock I was able to better than 30 MPG driving to Texas for the National Meet back in 2000 (or was it 2001?) and that was at 70MPH I loved that car... :)
  10. It was either in 2002 or 2003 that they had 'ol Blue (the 1st '66 Toro) in the Olds display for the Chicago Auto Show - It was sad because that got WAAAY more attention than anything else in the booth did... :(

    They SHOULD have made the last car be something interesting like an Aurora... but alas...

    Yeah I am an Oldsmobile guy at heart but I can't say I had any choices that were smaller with a stick in 2003 to buy a new Olds... The SRT-4 is one hell of a bang for the buck stock - and then the aftermarket for them has just exploded with options... :lol:

    I know some might flame me for this (Being that it is a Mopar) but I figured I would post some pics of my ride.... Modifications: Mopar Stage 1 - Maxxfab 3" O2 Housing - Needswings Downpipe with Electronic Dump - Maddog Short Throw Shifter - Chrome Powdercoated Stock Wheels Best Time: 13.9 @ 103 (Because I am a crappy driver :P )
  14. The '80 442 is one of the more rare G-bodies and one of my personal favorites - Congrats Man!! :P

    Where is the best place to find these limited Hot Wheels - I haven't seen those yet.. :blink:
  16. torobud replied to Olds Guy's post in a topic in Merchandise Lookout
    I picked up a butt-load of these from Walmart - the problem is that they quality isn't especially good but the price is at $1.97 Other Models: '70 442 '67 442 '56 88
  17. I found two of those Rallye 350's at the mall! Those H/O's are a real pain in the butt to find!! :angry: The Toro's are gorgeous I have a couple in '66 and '67 form!
  18. Well I know the '90-'91 88 coupes were hard to find even when they were first released considering there was was around 2000 total made between the two years!
  19. Way to have the last gen 88 and 98 coupes! They really are becoming hard to find already

    Having seen and rode in the Buick - that scares me to the ugly duckling that could have turned into....
  21. I miss mine now - thanks for nothing! <_<
  22. torobud replied to Northstar's post in a topic in Chrysler
    Don't compare to a mustang??!!?? The Charger SRT-8 is more like a CTS-V than a Mustang - The only thing kind of close to the SRT-8 would be the new Impala SS but that can't really compete - OK so I don't have a good car to compare it to.... but not a Mustang...

    unfortunately these cars aren't as highly regarded by collectors as some of the other full sized Olds' of the 60-70's - they are good looking cars though that can be purchased for reasonable prices while still offering that 'Olds' styling that we all love!

    I am pretty sure that the OSV Intrigue had the Aurora V8 in it - not a northstar Also I believe the 3.5L motor was an Aurora V8 with 2 less cylinders
