In the 90s the 1986-1987 buick grand nationals were alot quicker than most cars on the streets.The first one i owned ran 8.60 in the 1/8 and it was stock. However in the 90s i had a 1965 plymouth belvedere 4door with a stock 440 in it and was wiping up mild built mustangs and camaros.Needless to say they were usually pissed they got spanked by an old lady car. ---

I hate when people talk 1/8th mile speeds, only rednecks care about that. ---

> [@Blue Eyed Devil](#): > > You obviously know little about the engine. I will leave it at that. 😉 Irrelevant to the OP’s first question. Nobody “built” S6’s back in 1995. I don’t care what sort of potential there was in it back then, or now. People didn’t pull engines and have them bored/stroked or install big turbo kits on cars back in 1995. If you wanted a car to go street racing with you bought a 5.0. ---

I don’t care what people were doing, that engine was the one to have. His first question was about dsms.:gotme: I was answering the other question. ---

Nothing newer than 95 and assume that you can’t use any tech that came after 95 Tell me how fast Audi S6’s were back in '95? I don’t recall **EVER** seeing one at the track or on the street, not that I remember anyways. If they were “the one to have” as you say, how come they didn’t start some revolution like the 5.0 did? ---

I stand corrected, people who use 1/8th mile times to calculate 1/4 times are worse. ---
