the intercooler is way too oversized, the exhaust header WAS leaking, and it wasn’t making any boost.
the current state of the car though, proper budget track car.

Yep nope I don’t watch any car mod shows regularly.
Also LOL I’m pretty sure that would have issues passing muster for visibility. Cool trick tho.
What. The. Hell. Looks like a 24 hours of lemons reject.

Time to do my rides douchiness. First 1970 Buick Electra 2-5/10
2 if its grandma or slow people cruising in these beasts. They have the high compression, 400+ ft lbs 455 with the factory 850 cfm q jet.
4 if its someone like me who drives it like it was meant to be driven…HARD with a sense of what is under the hood and pretending its a Skylark.
6 if it has performance upgrades to make it a fast like a muscle car and forgetting they are land barges (5200 US lbs curb weight about) (with 600+ HP in the 455, rear gearing, etc they can reach 10s or less in the quarter mile though) lol
next is this
The Buick Rendzevous (The Pontiac Aztecs slightly better looking imbred cousin) 2/10
As the worst Buick ever made thanks to using GM corporate small crossover platform and the shitty 3.4 V6 with notorious heating issues (run hot constantly, blown head gaskets common, overheats with air on in city on hot day kind of heating issues)
Pitiful power for the weight. Gas mileage about 25 US mpg at best. The only good points is that some (like mine) have 3rd row seating, AWD, and trailer hitches (can’t haul much over a loaded pickup box trailer)
Im a Buick guy and I admit Buick failed at this. Good idea but done horribly wrong. I want to push mine over a cliff and get a Rainier. lol

Remember, old people tend to drive slow, yet old people cars tend to have large powerful V8s in them. I think that’s the car company trying to drive a message home.

I’d give it more of a 2 or 3 out of 10
Most of the time it’s not very customized outside of maybe some rims. And if you drive this land yacht, you normally aren’t in any hurry to get anywhere, and would rather cruise with the flow of traffic due to the cushy ride.
