80's GM Muscle Cars

[Danny9C1]

How about the Mopar turbo 4's? most of this vid is about the Buick GN...Lame....

[snowman4839]

GN is a sickass car

[gentryz34]

what motor is in grand nationals

[tjfreak]

The only "GM 80's Muscle cars" that I'm aware of would be the 5.0 & 5.7 IROC 5.7 Firebirds - Am's - GTA's - Nationals & Vettes ,the best part is the 3.1 TCIC Trans AM being the fastest production TA up until that point ...including the 455 SD's

oh yeah the Quad 4 442 LOL

[ballsnot]

I'm a cutlass man all the way through but I wasn't pass it up if I came across a Grand National and had the money!

[craveman85]

no firebirds or trans ams? little upset over that.

[VinnyGN]

Agreed, I'll be sure to add those cars if I make another similar video.

[craveman85]

el caminos as well since theyre a g body like the monte's and regals and cutlass

[VinnyGN]

The El Caminos and/or the Cutlass were not really Muscle Cars.. Check the debate below on the Cutless. Also, notice that right at the begining of the video it says "SOME of the cars that dominated the streets in the 80's, not ALL of them." You should make a video of all the cars I forgot and I'll post it on my page.

[turbolxcoupe91]

thats because trans scrams and fire chickens suck at life compared to the grand nationals and t-type regals.

[j45007]

Awesome cars.

[gmoneydollaz954]

i got a 87 olds cutllass hurst 442 gold edition big block v8 will smoke the stock g/n and some of them g body grand prix came with 400's and 350

[VinnyGN]

The revised package lasted only three years, and the last 442 in 1987 came with the aforementioned 307 rated at either 170 hp or 180hp at 4,000 rpm, depending on the source. While this was a reliable engine, it was no drag strip terror, with quarter-mile times of 16.6 seconds at 83 mph; zero-to-60 mph times of 9.5 seconds were also reported, and weren't impressive figures then, either.

All this information is coming directly from all the internet sites. Prove me wrong and send me a link

[craveman85]

yeah 307 roller cam. absolutely no aftermarket performance parts beyond an intake manual and main drawback was their rods. broke easier than ford crap.

[bigg8680]

you forgot the g body malibu but its a cool video

[VinnyGN]

No argument there, you're right. The G-body Malibu is a sick car when done right.

[retardfried]

i finished restoring a Buick grand national a week ago, i said hell with the factory seats and interior and went with veilside bucket seats.

[SThoogie]

Those cars will never get old I know the grand national is already a big collectors item and is pretty valuable and i can see the rest of the g bodies very valuable in a few decades.

[wolvieguy]

u forgot one G body the pontiac grand prix

[VinnyGN]

The body of the Grand Prix definatly qualifies but they never did anything with it,, I mean can you honestly consider it a muscle car unless the engine was changed?

[1776AmericanWarrior]

Since they turned Grand Prix into a front wheel drive, GM never had any intent to make Grand Prix a muscle car! They did something stupid, watched too much Mad Max and asked the Aussies to make them a muscle car and then they disgraced the GTO name with Aussie roots! In order to be a muscle car it must have American roots engineered in it! I own a Grand Prix GTP Comp G its fast and a great car but saddly its still front wheel drive!

[VinnyGN]

I agree with you, I also really like the GTP; awesome car! I think I'd even consider it a modern muscle car... but the Grand Prix of the 80's wasn't. Know what I mean?

[JAMESS30288]

I want to see a video of the 1980 Monte Carlo Turbo edition. That's one car i have never came across yet.

[2007deadeye]

Thanks for the response vinny the t-types and grand nationals were only good in a strait line but these monsters still comand respect to this day.Think about this if G.M. hadden of killed the rearwheel drive 3.8 S.F.I turbo v-6 and let it's popularity grow the nissan's twin turbo 3.8 G.T.R would have its hands full with a real american contender.Zr1 corvette yes,I would like to see G.M give buick lover something to cheer about, Pontiac does, Chevy does,Even Saturn does,why not Buick.

[VinnyGN]

I agree with you; even Ford is coming out with one sick Mustang after another, it's time that Buick came up to date with some kind of Muscle Car tribute. I know I would be interested.

[gmoneydollaz954]

2 bad gm stop making oldsmobile

[2007deadeye]

thanks for that video vinny it brings back some good old memories of 1983-88 crusing in the ss monte carlo,cutlass 442,chevy camaro Iroc-z,poncho trans-am,and of course the buick t-type and grand national,Ive got 2 regal T-types,and a 1984 turbo riviera in the garage right now. Daly driver is a 98 regal gs supercharged. back then g.m. rocked now it looks like theyre going the way of the dinosars.

[VinnyGN]

Yeah unfortunatly I think you're right.. I have a 94 Mustang GT Supercharged that I drive everyday but my heart is with real muscle-cars; you know, the ones that are monsters going straight but can't turn or stop. =]

[shuerm]

Gotta love the G-bodies!! Hurst Cutlass and Cutlass 442 are beautiful cars, so is the Monte SS, but all are overshadowed by the GN!

[tadeh3]

G body was modern muscle, todays cars look so ridiculous, with there fat shaped bodies an futuristic bull lol

[tadeh3]

GNs were the fastest cars in the 90s, esp. the GNX

[tadeh3]

80s*

[VinnyGN]

Yeah I hear you, I've thought about selling or trading my car a few times "the 1st, 2nd, and other random pics in this vid." BUT I've never met somebody that didn't regret selling later on so I'm probably just going to hold on to it forever. =]

[Rocket4Barrel]

Nice rides, brings back memories of high school, being an '80s child I remember these cars very well, and had an '87 442 later, sold it in 2005, regret it ever since.

[VinnyGN]

Yeah Eddie every one of these cars are some part of our teens.

Camaro-Driving upstate in the blizard, the 360's, and 1st car.

Cutlass-Sal's Cutlass is what got me into Amercian Muscle.

Monte-Awesome G-Body, especially when people work the motor the way it soulda been.

GN-Well what am I gonna say; I wanted the GN since I was 14 and I love it. It's gonna run 10's when I'm done.

[badassjen]

They just don't make them like they used to!

[tadeh3]

amen to that

[eddiedellz]

Makes me miss my GN and my Cutlass and my camaros and my firebirds but most of all umm my camaro
