Usually when you see the first brand of car in the VS category that means they win. But man that Buick is wicked. I wish they continued on with that Turbo V6.
@ViperSRTnACR agreed the Corvette once it goes over 600 rwhp you have to take out the leaf sprigs, go with a true track suspension, a set of 70/30 shocks and a drag pack, if not your 60 is going to suffer. They are good for about a 1.6 60ft with stock suspension with removal of the front sway bar.
Nice race! Even though I've got a magna charged C5 i really want a turbo Buick! And im pretty sure it's no gnu since I doubt anyone would do a color change on a $100K car
I noticed the fender vents too , and since it wasn't black i'm guessing it was a t-type. Both cars were crazy fast. But a '87 GN retailed @17,500 dlrs...Z06 around 70,000. I'd rather have the '87 gn !!!
Buick had full out slicks and skinnys plus the parachute...ZO6 didnt look like he had slicks, normal wheels on the front and no parachute..probably full interior lol Both trapped 142mph...Why doesn't the ZO6 need a parachute? The Buick did sound fantastic, but the ZO6 is too sick, I would take the Z.
@loveunderlaw true, but this is a t-type it came turbo intercooled in 86/87,i highly doubt it started life as a plain n/a 1983 regal, but yea a turbo buick is badass regardless! much agreed
The Buick redlit but it's also 4 10th's quicker than the vette. Even if they both left on the green the Buick would have won anyway (with it's little V6). Both cars are awesome.
It is because of the tags. You can search "GN," "Grand National" or "Turbo Buick" all day (I know from experience) and this one will never come up. I don't know how I finally found it but it is a great car and a great video.

Buick- 9.55@142
Z06- 9.92@142
The difference being of course, the GN 60 footed alot better the the Z for the eventual win.
