    gut wrenching to see a GN with a v8 swap. I'm all about v8 american muscle but some things you just don't do v8 swaps to.

      Ruined a perfectly good grand national. They could have done the same V8 swap with an 87 Buick Regal and it would basically be the same thing but without ruining a rare classic.

      I agree. If anything i would've taken a vortech 4.3 and built for a massive amount of boost and ran it like that. A 4.3 swap would've been more respectable.

      Bsaint...so true- maybe a 1963 or 64 Wildcat...they were badass with the 455 big old fuckin block...hahaha! They truly were badass n the day. But agree 100% that the Grand National was the best/beautifulest Buick made. Was it 1986...fastest production car?? A v6 turbo?? Beautiful & bad fuckin ass!! Loved those cars...just can't find them n good enough shape to restore anymore.

      Cliff Lee...I'm not familiar with old Buicks. I just know a childhood buddy- his dad owned what I remember to b a Buick "Wildcat"& not even sure of the yr model. Almost positive it had a 455, high performance of some sort & it would haul ass. As I said, I'm not very familiar with old Buicks...but it was nice. I only got to ride n it 2 different times& one was driven by my buddy who really opened it up to show me the poeer it had. Awesome car that eventually let sit n yard until the value was low & the mom of my friend sold it for next to nothing.

    Love the Gn so much but if it's a real Gn it's a shame that the it was built this way and had a motor swap. I mean if your gonna do that line as well just buy a base model regal. Cheaper to buy and won't ruin a nice car. Either way sick car love the Gn.

    • @davewilson2559
      @davewilson2559 6 років тому

      To be fair, 3.8 liters is pretty damn big for a 6 Cylinder. Practically every other 6 cylinder I can think of is a 3.0 or 3.5 at most. It's only 0.8 liters smaller than 4.6 liter Mustang GT. Throw 20 pounds of boost on top and it's not that hard to see why it's so fast. It has almost an entire liter advantage over the Supra and we all know how insane that car is. Buick did something right since the FBI discretely bought a shit ton of GNs and GNXs. As a rule of thumb, if the FBI wants it, I do too. Their R&D team is on point lol.

    Something went horribly right with this car and I don't know how. It's like Buick knew the exact amount of power and weight to get amazing acceleration and traction. You can have all the power in the world but if you're just spinning tires you aren't winning shit. A turbo V8 is almost like an 8" dick - so excessive that it actually starts to hinder your performance. Once you're making that kind of power you have to run super sticky tires that are useless for anything except hot as fuck and dry as fuck. Thanks but no thanks. I don't know how tires still suck so much all these years later. They're obviously better but the amount of progress made in 30 years is sad. People are too complacent and it isn't a big money maker for companies so I guess tires for car enthusiasts are put on the back burner. Sad.
