Amazing Sleeper G Body Olds

Just enough Olds DNA remaining to be proud of. Quick as all hell and on the street, no one would see it coming, unless they’ve seen this.

Yup.

Bravada driveline gets it up to about 30% Olds DNA in my estimation.

Im not a G body, or LS guy but a nearly stock looking car, carrying an Olds banner, that goes like that, impresses me. YMMV.

The body is Fisher, so the engine makes the marque, IMO. The "corporate engine" bs was the beginning of the end.

Definitely a cool car and a great performing G Body. I love it! Better than the 180HP - 307 turd it came with from the factory.

It's guys/cars like this that keep the brand and hobby alive.

I need to ride in a light car like this, powered by an LS with something better than a stock cam, tune and a 1500 rpm converter. Below 3500 empty and 4000 rpm, the STOCK LS truck motors are very lazy. Our 6L, 360 hp/380 tq work truck sucks as a truck, feels very sluggish down low. Remember talking a 6 spd auto with 4+ to 1 first gear and 3.73 gears, plenty of multiplication. The 257cc intake port is kind ridiculous on a truck motor, no doubt should flow serious air with obvious velocity loss.

Absolutely love that Olds. Such a sleeper. Looks damn near stock and runs like hell. Love it. Full interior. No overly outside changes to the body lines. No stupid A flares. Nothing sticking out anywhere. It still looks like an Oldsmobile. One of the best sleepers out there.

Absolutely cannot stand that over done over worked over wrecked use to be stang. All the shi* cut up sticking out whatever. Full race interior blah blah blah. I know it runs unreal and always has. I can't stand seeing that car anymore.
