Me like very much for my daily driver :Brow::Brow::Brow:
It always scares me when an engine is revving that high asking myself when does it explode
Fortunately it doesn't

Erik I say the same thing every time I'm going down the track. LOL. Have to say Buick engines can run but they need plenty of band aids to strengthen up the block. As for street cruising brawlers you can't beat them, gobs of low end torque. Here is a nice shot of board member Nick Rabi

Rick - what is that engine from the video in? (meaning, it's not in your Centurion, so what is it in?)
