These motors give me a 'durty' feeling... Proper street racing material. Saw a Buick turbo over in California putting out about 600bhp, really subtle stuff yet very imposing in the metal.

Volvo, Buggy, Discovery and an old tractor.

You missed the Pontiac TTA off your list... It acquired the GN motor when the Regal when FWD and could no longer support a muscle car.
The GN and GNX are technically two different cars. The GN was produced in fair numbers over several years (and is different from the Turbo Regal as well). The GNX is a one year only "swan song" car produced as a means of letting the RWD platform go out with a bang.
I believe there is a European Motor Nats as well in Europe on the mainland as well as the Euronats here in the UK.
Theres not quite the brand bias and hatered stupidity over here that you get a lot of in the US, I say not QUITE, so Buicks, Olds, Pontiacs, Fords, etc. all come down to the "Mopars", as do all manner of hot rods and other vehicles.
I'll stick my mopars photos up later if I get chance.

 Really the first car I remember my dad driving was the Plymouth version, the Valiant. At the time, a very good car . He made an unfortunate swap for a Pontiac Star Chief, utter POS t. |

thats the B body dart. There was no Valiant version of that. The Plymouth version of the B body Dart was the Belvedere. The Valiant is smaller. They are a special kind of ugly and I love them. 413 cross ram and teletouch torqueflyte please..  |

Hmm...engine needed new mains and big ends. Did a full bottome end rebuild on it with a new crank and everything. Sold the car for £300 some time ago and now its back up for sale- uklows.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1111 |
