Why exactly is it "bull"? The guy made something different fast. I would say that's pretty cool.

Plus, I wouldn't consider a 3.8L a BIG engine.

Yea but that would never happen cause that Geo in the video is worlds away from being anything near being street legal...

Re: 9 second geo metro

I highly doubt he got an engine out of a car that only 547 were ever produced (GNX). But nonetheless, cool swap.

So because it's not a stock Geo it's "bull"? It's not like it's a lexan body slapped on a tube frame.

Notice the stock dash, stock body panels

Also, I never said it was a 3L it's a3.8L out of a turbo Buick with a turbo and nitrous.

Like most of the time you don't know what the **** you are talking about.

Re: 9 second geo metro

I can see Antz' point... the car is more like a GN with a Metro body than anything else. But nonetheless, it must be SHOCKING to not only lose to a Metro, but to get SPANKED silly by it

As far as embarrassed? Only if you smack talked first, otherwise, you just know the guy spent large amounts of money and time to get it to that point, so what's embarrassing about losing to a GN motored Metro? I don't think it would bother me at all -- there's always someone/something faster.

Never said you said it was a 3 L , thats my exact point...Now if it was the metros original engine modded running those times now that would be impressive...Id say it was more a GN than a metro, and were all very aware those are capable of those times, thats why I dont find it mind boggling Impressive.

And you can save your comments because I dont state something unless its fact, or Ive seen or done it. I wasnt aware people not agreeing w/ you was "Like most of the time you don't know what the **** you are talking about". Feel free and search any post of mine where I posted BS rather then a conflict of opinions.
