He would have cleaned up. My buddy had a Buick special w/the Fireball 6 a distant relative of the 3.8. It shook like a plug wire had been pulled. GM would sell the engine to Jeep, buy it back, refine it, it grabs the pole at indy, put it into the rather pedestrian Regal, turbo-charged, most painted black and creates a force to be reackoned with. Amazing. Oh, Great Video!
@need2speed94 They all were equiped from the factory with a automatic 200-4R. The transmission in John's GN at the time of this video was a custom 4L80E.
@FastBuick gotcha... I was wondering if the stock tranny could hold al this power thats why, i was guessing maybe it was an aftermarket 4L60E or something, thanks.
this guy is such a fucking dush....... what the fuck man quit buying shirts at the age of twelve and what the fuck is up with fagget cocky atitude.. yeah and you look gay as fuck waving your hands like a little drag bitch your fucking show sucks bro.... just a little bit of honesty man oh i almost forgot does this guy even know anything about cars... i dont think so....dush bag... fag in tight lil shirts....
man that sucks he would have won for sure that grand national was running hard and consistent but thats what happens thats racing good job though indeed

You know when a turbo buick takes you off the line you're getting pulled the entire way down the track with no chance of reeling him in.
