From 1982 to 1987, Buick (yes Buick) used the Grand National to rise from overlooked GM family sedans, to the maker of America’s fastest, most powerful Muscle Car. The 1987 Buick Grand National Experimental (GNX), took the G-body auto to new heights as one of the baddest, blackest automotive triumphs in history.
This is everything you need to know, to get up to speed on the Buick Grand National.

@hotwire96 6 лет назад

I swear Buick is the strangest car brand, they've built their identity on making fairly conservative, boring cars for regular folks but every once in awhile they slam their veiny, three shielded dick down on the performance car market table as to say 'this isn't even our sort of thing, but this is how you make a fast car'. Smashed everyone in 1970 with the GS 455 Stage 1, the fastest muscle car of the era (appropriately named the 'Hemi Killer'), and then, as said in this video, used a then near unheard of engine configuration (V6 turbo) to make the second fastest production car at the time. I don't really understand you, Buick, but I look forward to whatever you come up with next.

@jordanvarga4235 6 лет назад

It's like they are schizo and go off their meds once in a while.

@lsrx101 6 лет назад

hotwire96 That's something I've thought for years, but I really like the way you spelled it out. LOL. Buick and Olds, both, were like the red headed step children of GM performance, BITD. No matter how well they did, all of the money and attention went to their siblings, Chevy and Pontiac. Even Pontiac was treated as a little "less than" at times. All in the name of keeping the almighty Corvette on top of the GM heap. When Buick or Olds got withing range of effecting 'Vette sales, the big guys at GM said "nuh uh uhhh, no more R&D for you. Go to your room". They gave Pontiac a bit more latitude but they still kept their hands firmly on it's R&D throttle. I love all US muscle and I've never been a "GM Guy" per se , but I give mad props to Buick for basically rebelling and saying "F**K You, Dad! Suck on this, Chevy!" and building the GN and GNX. Awesome, innovative cars for their time.

With 700 or 800 hp production cars like the Demon, it would be interesting to see what a modern GNX could accomplish. I'm guessing it won't happen.

@nimeshchokshi1921 6 лет назад

LoneWanderer360 Since GM filed trademarks for the GN and GNX name, there’s been a longstanding rumor that it’s coming back. However, I take it with a grain of salt, as I’ve seen rumors about both the Chevelle and Torino as well.

@user-xg8yy7yl1d 6 лет назад

@charleslowe522 4 года назад

The Grand National is the most underrated car at the time. Also, I bought an 86 stock, stock, I ran 13.1 at 105 mph, with a 1.96 60' time. Actually stock is lying a little bit, I had a Tin Man cold air kit. I ran that time, the temperature was 49 degrees and the humidity was like 20%, that helped I'm sure as the next time to the track it was in the 80's during the day and the best I did was 13.5 at 101 mph. The 235 hp and 330 ft-lbs of torque for the 86, definitely underrated. Especially the torque. Not sure what changed from 86 to 87 to get 30 more ft-lbs of torque. I did upgrade my turbo, injectors and chip and I was able to run 11.70 at 115 mph with a 1.79 60' time. Upgraded again, have yet to take it to the track.

@lulujrlaulom7905 Год назад

Nice James. I remember when my dad got his 1986 GN. My mom was pissed but when i saw it come out for the test drive i thought it looked like the most wicked car ever. It was like 10PM in the San Fernando Valley when they finally came up with a deal and under the dealer lights it looked so cool! Totally BAD ASS.

Before I moved I remember him saying he only had 12k miles on it. And this was in 2000.

@370zed 6 лет назад

The typhoon and syclone were good but if youre trying to say which was the absolute best tbh it was the late model TTA, only because it had all the R&D from the GN process and more power.

It's hard to talk about the Buick Grand National and not mention the man who single handedly put them on the map. The man that made them legendary status and that man is Kenny Duttweiler. He was getting 600hp out of these in the late 80s then in the mid-late 90s getting as much as 1600hp.

The suspension drawing at 5:12 doesn't show the biggest suspension change on '87 GNX's only: the rear torque arm similar to 1970's Pontiac Astres and 1980's Camaro/Firebird... only they had it on the left side of the driveshaft and Buick put it on the right side where it belongs to force the right rear tire down!

@divinedenae9911 6 лет назад

Alot of people forget that back in the 1960s Buick built a big car called the wildcat, it had vents on the sides and the wildcat would hall ass in more ways than one. I watched a 1969 wildcat out run a 1989 5.0 Mustang back around 1991. and back then, that was the quickest car of the late180s early 90s next to the Grand National. It was not slow. But i watched that big buick cross the line beating that 5.0 . It wasnt by much but i believe it made a believer out of many of the buick powers if you got the certain right one.

Well it’s 2018 now and before the end of 2017 Tesla unveiled the Tesla roadster 2.0 that can do 0 to 60 in less than 2 freaking seconds!!! (1.9)

Those Grand Nationals/GNX was kicking those 5.0 Mustang ass in the late 80's to early 90's. Ken Dutweiller had a mean ass twin turbo Grand National kicking much ass on the track!!!

I loved my 1987 Grand National. I;m not a grandma, but I am 75 It was the best car I had ever owned and I loved the speed especially when I left a Corvette standing still when he want to race me. I am now driving a Buick Encore, now that's a grandma car, but I love it 2nd place.

I liked the way he talked about things in this one as compared to others seemed more heartfelt especially the end

BMW 335i e9X series. Had way more power than advertised and could be easily modified to beat most BMWs in the lineup.

@JamesMelzer999 6 лет назад

iceman18724 literally in the exact same boat. Sold my 335i at 92k (broken). I will own a e30 with a n54 even though I know it will break.

The grand national reminds me of Takumi AE86: an undefeatable ghost that retires, so that no one can ever achieve what it achieved

Local_ Hotpotato one might say, the ATS-V is close to be the spiritual successor of the Grand National

@local_hotpotato 6 лет назад

Khoa Huynh pretty much in the same since as the gt86

Awesome episode. Was thinking last week they should do one on the GN. Then what’s you know just letting them play and this popped up. Also, if my teachers in high school taught like the donut crew, I might have learned a lot more.

@bryguy8650 5 лет назад

I had a 1986 GN that was modded & I flew from Shithole NH to Asshole NY to pick up the car. I had $10,000 in cash in my front pocket. I drove the GN home & ended up selling for $8,000 years later. I could & did roast the tires through 3 gears all the time. I loved that car & want one again 😁

@NSCA12 6 лет назад

As the Race Director for the GSCA Buick Nationals for over 10 years I would say that other than a few minor tech issues this video is a good reference for the average person to get a brief synopsis of the GN and GNX.

man....watching these videos now, they are extremely tame compared to your new videos! I love your new videos....much more personality in them! I'd love to see this Grand National video redone in your new style of presenting.

@lucaslowe5396 3 года назад

One of the most slept on cars is probably the buick skylark. It looks sick and has a good engine that is easy to modify and easy to drive.

@muradhwak9006 6 лет назад

Man when my dad bought a 1994 roadmaster i love it more than a ferrari it was white with red interior but as always all good things must come to end 4 years later the engine blow up and the stupidest idea dad came up with is to sell the car i cried for two weeks on that car i still dream about it

I owned a '70 GS. 455cc. 390 ft lbs of torque. Had the factory hearst 4 speed and rock crusher tranny. It was a BEAST. Trust me. Then...my buddy bought an '86 GN. The first word that came to mind was UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE when he let me take it for a spin. One of my favorite cars of all time. Being mostly into late 60's, early 70's muscle cars and owning a few of them, that's saying something.

@urosjakubiv1352 5 лет назад

I watched almost all of your Up To Speed vidios and Buick GNX is still my favorite car of all time. I first saw it in the mobile game called Racing Rivals back in 2013 and I fall in love with it, I still didnt changed my mind (I was 13 years old back then). One day I want to own GNX myself, but now GNX is very expencive and my country laws say that I cant import it here, so I am thinking of moving to USA only so I can own one.

@urosjakubiv1352 5 лет назад

Forgot to add something: My other email has number 87 in it since I made it for games. number 87 stands for the year of GNXs production..
