    What's funny to me is that I can TOTALLY understand why someone whom DOESN'T understand the passion of the Grand National faithful, would think this car is junk, and yet I still understand that the very reason for this video, is that there are people in this world whom worship these G-Body's.

    This car had a high stall torque convertor from the factory.I was glad to see the white letter tires and original GN wheels. The rear body mounts may need replacing deteorated possibly.I would put 89 octane or higher in her and some berryman chem tool to the gas to clean her out. I used it twice and really improved acceleration on my cutlass with the regular 3.8 v6 which is a a Buick Engine. I was glad to see the the improvements you made.Take good care of her and give lots of love to her she deserves it.

      @@ClassicGBodyGarage While working at Pontiac G Car Assy I was very observant .The Grand Nationals, Monte Carlo SS and the Cutlass 442's all seemed to come with white letter tires.I thought I was the only one who didnt like blackwalls LOL. If you got pin stripes they were painted on and not tape.The only exception was the Monte SS had decals and maybe the 442 had a tape stripe treatment.Before you said in the throttle position sensor video replacement how did I know it was a 442 before you said it? By the tape stripe treatment on the front bumper! The 442 has 180 hp and a special cam I believe.The Grand national had 235hp.When the Grand Nationals were coming out there was a chip you could get maybe still available today and you had to put in a cooler T Stat I was told.

    💯👉The cars had a idle dip when they were brand new, so you're never really going to have a perfect idle when you come to a stop, sometimes they would even stall.

      @@ClassicGBodyGarage that car should Bang into second gear and cook the tires, stock... if you still have the original valve body in that transmission it's precious, is required for it the bang into second gear the way it should, specific to the Grand National and surprisingly the 442s... and adjust that transmission cable near the throttle body, push in the detent and slide it out two notches towards the radiator👍 ... and put new vacuum hoses underneath the turbo, that noise is most likely dry-rotted control arm bushings from the downpipe.

      @@SHADOWBLACKs650 That GN came equipped with a D-4 ( maybe D-5 ) converter in the trans. Flame hardened or something. I did rebuild mine because of just being beat on before i got it. (Rubber on the rear quarter panel and exhaust) I believe there was an extra solenoid in the trans as well. I'm not a transmission wrench turner. But my Vin 7 always brought a smile to my face when under boost.

      Hydro prone to big time failures and NOT STOPPING. And really expensive to repair or replace. So people convert to vacuum brakes...

    Grand Nationals were never good at burnouts. A stock 5spd mustang or camaro would embarrass them off the line, then the turbo kicks and the the GN wins the race. Now I knew a guy back in the day with a 50shot on his GN. That car could lay a couple of black streaks on the pavement!
    A quality converter should be the next mod. Or maybe a 50-shot!
    Cool car.

      @@jordanwiley4582 That is very surprising as 2500 rpm can really affect city mpg. I thought it was closer to 1800-2000. Can you actually footbrake a stock GN to 2500?

      @Charlie BThis is my experience, not magazine articles. All the mustangs I hung around hooked hard. Most were in the mid 13s (some 12s). My 350hp 4spd vette was a high 13 car (1.8 60' with 295 50 BFGs and 3.55s) and I got beat on the drag strip all the time by those little 5.0s. I only raced a GN once, outside College Station, TX from a roll on the highway leaving town. It had 17" billet wheels on it, Very cool back then. (1990?) I was pulling him into triple digits. I let off first (no OD), and I still remember how that turbo sounded as he pushed through.
      Sorry to hear about that '88 SS.

      Well for the record I barely got into it. I will have a video in the future showing it's TRUE potential once the car is completely sorted and get some miles on it. Didnt want to RIP on it the very first drive.

      @BwayneAnnaLee At the dragstrip in the 90s a stock 87-93 5.0 was about as rare as a virgin pornstar. I'm talking racing, legal or otherwise, and a lightly modded mustang was faster than most GNs in the quarter. Anyone that went to the drag strip could see this. The aftermarket was not into GNs at the time and they typically ran high 13s in the quarter, about the same as my vette. I have never seen a GNX in person, but they were about 1/2 sec faster I think.
