I don't know. I also don't know what makes one "real" as it seems more like an opinion that differs from person to person

I quess the whole real/fake thing started with the thread by Geerhead55. That was started to determine what was the fastest pontiac powered pontiac in Stock Eliminator. Seems it has developed a life of it's own. My opinion would be that to be real would require a car that was produced by G.M. with all the right parts. Of course, we all know that the way Stock Eliminator is now you don't need a numbers matching car to compete.

As for Galina's Buick - It started as a factory V6 Buick Regal and evolved from there. GNX I believe?? As I recall.

I guess a fake buick would be a sbc with dart/buick heads or sbc with GM pontiac/chevy heads. Its probably as fake as you can go.

It's been ongoing for quite some time. I see "real" pop up all the time. Not just his thread.

I've been told my car isn't a "real" superstocker

I've read that a Pontiac isn't "real" if it's got an EFI LS powerplant.

It gets confusing and seems very opinionated.

Carey, your car may not be a true super stocker in the traditional sense, but I think it was one very cool car and just stupid fast. Some friends of mine have commented on how fast it goes for being such a small motor. All we can say is "WOW". Your are to applauded for your accomplishments with that car.

Thanks man!! Much appreciated.

This thread is just out of curiosity as I'm fairly new to class racing and I see this pop up from time to time.

Nothing Fake about Gallinas car that was all Buick. Just a bent 6 with a hair dryer and a little ahead of its time John is a great guy!
