@@whatsit2ya247 yeah thats the thing, in fact GM actually nerfed the Grand National so that it'll be a little slower than the Corvette because they caught wind of it being called the Corvette killer.
@PrydeWater901 In my opinion that was the Best American Car ever built, in 1987 I had a pretty fast car, Chevy Monza with a small block 350 and had a few bolt ons (pushing around 325 to 375bhp) not a whole lot nowadays😅 to end this Story I got smoked pretty bad in front of a few people I had beat😢😢 been a huge Fan ever since, Drove one last year and I'm convinced that I need this car🤷♂️🤣🤣 just have to convince my Wife😢😢 hope everyone who reads this has a great day🤝💯
@@wutusaying783unfortunately the cost of them due to us enthusiasts makes them in a category with other cars that will beat it in almost every way. But they are amazing.
GM did a good job making a G-body look like a muscle car. Of course, the one in this video looks even more so because it's stanced and has aftermarket wider wheels.
My dad was a service manager for a GMC/Buick dealer in '87 and bought one. He always had a smile on his face when driving it. and the first time he handed me the keys to it, i truly understood the smile. Awesome, awesome machine!
Ya know the problem with people who "say" their car has over a thousand horsepower is, they can rarely prove it. Until this guy shows a dyno sheet, it's 🐎💩.
@@wutusaying783 that's the killdozee dude! He turned his d10 Cat dozer into a fuckin tank with like 2 sheets of 3inchs of steel and concrete in between them. dude cut holes for gun turrets and threw some cameras on that bitch so he could see all around him. he literally welded himself inside that thing. And fucking drove through the wall of the garage. he had it parked in and decided to wipe out his targets that had fucked him over in his local town. without actually hurting anybody but he destroyed every Target. he wanted to hit the mayor's house, City Hall, the bank, etc.. That's some noble shit all things considered. You push a man to his break and his breaking point and that's what you end up with. tip my hat to Mr Heemeyer!
Nope ! A grand national is a V6 car. Putting a V8 in one is like putting a 340 in a Hemi Cuda. It's not a Hemi Cuda without a Hemi. A grand National isn't a GN if you take the turbo 3.8 V6 out.
@@midnight347Bruh the Grand National literally had a turbocharger sticker on it that purposefully looks like a 6 lmao, it's supposed to be a turbo V6 This is just a regular ass LS-swap Regal with an appearance package now
You’re right, unfortunately. If I was going to do this, I would start with a plain Regal, then add the GN parts for the look. It is a badass car, though…
Timeless Simple American Style! My Friend's Dad bought a Brand New One (Black Grand National, not GNX from 1987) in Spring of 1986! Then My Dad bought a Volvo 740 Intercooled Turbo at the same time. Midnight Metallic Blue. We drove both of them the same day, one day. The Volvo was QUICKER to spool up and take off, but the Grand National was a more substantial car, being American! BOTH were a BLAST to drive! We were 23 years old and PROUD of Our Dads!!!
Always been a fan of the Buick grand national . Finally a video of a car ripping it up.And no shitty rap /crap music playing over the motor and tires burnings sounds.. %100 awesome vid
I bought a stock Grand National 1987 off the showroom floor . The stock 6 cylinder with the Garrett turbo was absolutely wonderful for 6 second 0 to 60 mph. But I put the computer chip in a home without the converter change the pulley wheel ! It was a super fast car and drop it down a second 0 to 60 to min of 5 seconds . I was super young I was 21 years old at the time and there's a fast summer and a great summer !!
my dad had 3 turbo buicks at one point when I was a teenager. good God was that fun. I finally broke down and bought an 87 62000 original miles. I feel blessed and cursed at the same time 😆
Getting 1600 hp to hook on a rear wheel drive car has got to be a handful to negotiate. I've seen some all wheel drive systems that seemed to help when it comes to putting as much down to the pavement as possible with minimal spin. Once you get into that range of hp, an AWD would be a great way to go if driving it regularly on the street. I recently saw an 86' Buick T-Type with a twin turbo setup and it was hell on wheels. The guy just couldn't get it to hook up very well and had to feather the gas when taking off from a complete stop or at a rolling start.Talk about fun mixed with adrenaline, this car has it and then some. What a beast!
In June 1987 I took delivery of mine at the dealer. It had 16 miles on the odometer, 16 miles. For the first week I had it my22 year old neck was sore all the time due to the super acceleration. After a week my neck got used to the car and stopped hurting me. The sound of the turbo fan was so cool. I bought mine for$ 16650.00. the dealer had one gnx for sale, but I could not afford 47000.00
@@Ryzenberg78 yeah but they were the fastest production vehicles on the planet when they came. I'm not certain a Dodge has ever done that but I could stand to be corrected. Regardless you'll get away more respect in one of these babies by the car community than you ever would in any Mopar and that's a fact.
I smoked more 8s with Grandpa v6 Corsica that was over 20 years older 3.1 after I ran through it and replacing knick knacks I drop 13s from 14 tire rim size on fronts and ran cleaners in it and put throttle body cleaning machines did radiator lines too!
I love Regal’s and Cutlass Supreme’s. My brother had one back in the early 90’s. Imagine driving a Grand National to HS in The Motor City… Yep, he was killing it!
