The 3800 turbos were built at the Buick engine plant that was here in Flint Mi. My ex father in law was an engine tester. The one that made way to the GNX were tweaked by McClaren. Another thing I loved was we had a bracket racing team in high school that ran 2 T-TYpes and 1 G.N., they did pretty dang good. Thanks to GM for there donations to our school back in the 80's!!
@jimikestell1 lol* you are a faggot no doubt. This 25 year old car can still beat the hell out of most anything from jappoville especially when modded. Back in the mid eighties the GN was faster than EVERYTHING jappoville could offer, and beat the hell out of any ford, dodge, or even most of GMs' v8 cars. And still with less mods it will OWN most jap homo-cars with three times the cost in mods. You should go kill yourself now. you dont deserve to breathe this planets air.
Man! I'm so in love! I feel like a poser driving my 86 Buick regal! These Turbos make me look bad:( hope to get one someday, but hey how many 17 year old can say they own a regal!
I have an 87 with 24k miles my dream car when i was a kid and i got one when i was 18 now im 34 my fav car in the world thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect soundtrack choice! I used to crank this in 87 driving around in my new T-type. I still have it with 53, 000 original miles. Now I need to go drive it!!
Wow!!!! That GN at 2:20 has to be the best "hook" I have ever seen. lol Great! - Yeah, and I do agree it is pretty sad that you know people are on here because they are "car" fans and then "dis" the vid by giving it a dislike rating. - I like all cars if they have any horsepower to speak of, though I am partial to "American Muuscle". - I love my GN and I drive the crap out of it and it still drives beautifly. - There will never be another like the Mighty GN.
I have one of these babies sitting in my barn...just not quite sure what restore route im gonna go with it ..for racin,,,for showin.....or fo drivin thru da hood..hhmm I'll watch a few more Buick vids...see what grabs me.
I love my grandpa's stock 87 GN t-tops,you even touch the pedal and your in the back of your seat, if you pull up to a 70 Cuda 318,chances are your Buick turbo will chew it up and spit it out!
I just discovered this video and I love it. I bought two 87 GN's new in 87. One for me an one for the wife. We still have hers. 100% stock. I really like seeing what others have done with these cars, but I still get a big kick out of our stock one. It will only put down a hundred foot of rubber on a nice cold day instead of a football field of it, but I don't go through tires as fast either. Great stuff, just great. By the way, I am also a little old school on the music. I think it is perfect!
4:48 WHAT THE F*@#$ OLDSMOBILE FRONT CLIP? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-------
4:49 its a buick but why put the olds front end on it? and 4:02 looks like a monte carlo(check out the taillights and decklid goes down too far to be buick). none the less i love this body style with the exception of the pontiac grand prix...hate the front end of those lol. awesome video
@jimikestell1 it's just a flex your muscle kinda thing with this car, straight line power you know. Every car has it's own appeal I mean I hate honda to no end but i'd drive an s2000 or an nsx b/c when a good car is made I give respect where it's due, I feel japan kinda fell off from where it used to be for the past few years Nissan aside
@jimikestell1 you do know there are buick gnx with well over 1000hp, and remember they made a lot more torque then horse power, no stock chassis is going to hold up to that for the price the car was sold at come on it's a car from the 80's lol, and there is nothing wrong with the zr1 only reason I could see anybody not wanting it is if they hate U.S. cars but even the guy from top gear who hate U.S. cars loved it even though he tried his hardest not to lol
@jimikestell1 this is a 6 cylinder so your not gonna beat it with a 3 cylinder lol, they have ran 6's with this car and only 500 were made and no where near enough aftermarket support as a honda, and for that matter not even near the after market support of any other muscle car has and it can run just as fast kinda sad right
Dont Doubt The Grand National...... you hear me kids? DONT. friends 88 t/a 350 headers intake flows got smoked by a grand national..... almost didnt even hear the damn thing
that is like saying red GTO's are faster than blue ones. The only reason a T-type would be slower is if it weighed more due to options. A bench seat and landau roof don't weigh THAT much though.
I have a GN, but I have seen a white T-Type with chrome package and a grey one with the blackout option and they both looked GREAT. There are some crazy looking ones out there though. Options that never should have been.
turbo SBC where use because it was easier to replace and rebuild. Then LSX based motors came around and it would be use because It was better then using a stage 2 Buick or TA Performance block
I understand the power, cost, and availability difference of using a V8, I just think it seems like the wrong car to do it with, since the powertrain was what made these cars so special. I have a Monte SS with an LS1, working my way towards a GN.
Well, the Turbo Buick V6 got the eyes for 1989 in Firebird, I got me a TPI 350 that is a custom droptop, and I love it, paid nearly $9000 USD for it. One of about 60 made that year
That Cutlass clipped GNX 2-tone car was in GMHTP years ago built in AZ....imo front end looks kinda cool but yhea? why? Id've just built an '87 442 w/GNX rear suspension and a boosted LSX
I'm a turbo love too..... Just last night I schooled a kid with a "fast 14 sec." Honda. I'm all stock with only 25K miles on it. Not a race car, yet it sort of is... he he he....
This Music isn the best fit to the Video. Everytime I Play this Song, always imagining myself i na GN or GNX for life. Long live the Grand Nationals for life.
