National gets smoked.. for the 1st 200 feet.

[snowman4839]

Hahaha. It's as if he was thinking... "OH SHIT WE'RE RACING??" *floors it*

[sjpro1]

can you say turbo lag

[kylespeed24]

guarantee that the guy who was driving that had a huuuge smile on his face

[1000cfm]

that gn is fast and i understand the turbo lag and all but after about 300 feet it looks like the '55 chev kinda nosed down for a bit then came back alive. would be interesting it see the times vs the mile per hour.

[jrloopy1984]

@1000cfm Pretty sure Gn's came with a 3.8 v6, unless he swapped in something bigger.

[1000cfm]

@jrloopy1984 yes gn's were 3.8's. he swapped a turbo v8 in it

[DJM442]

peace the fuck out on the Chev!

[vanfamco]

When the turbo lag is gone, so is the car. Classic!!

[BTMegadeth]

P W N  T

[YouAndTaylorRule]

Fuck your last 6 deconds of the race.

[motortrend07]

i think i can i think i can

[sultaraco]

nice reel in...

[150peacemaker]

if flash was a car, he would be a grand national 

[jbturbobuick2]

About the time you here the turbo spool he's gone.

[JDMxGSRxVTEC]

" come on boost!, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE " 

[8472stormchaser]

you need an airbag behind your head when the boost kiks in!

[8472stormchaser]

WOW! SCHWEET!

[Yautjaamedha]

Corvette thinks he has it...then the boost hits.

[motoxkid92]

@Yautjaamedha corvette?

[Yautjaamedha]

@motoxkid92 hahaha, i fucked that up pretty bad, sorry, i had just read the "Grand National passes Corvette as it Wrecks" title, and had corvette in my head, i meant Bel Air.

[motoxkid92]

@Yautjaamedha weve all been there aha

[gigantamos]

HOOOLLLLY SHEEEEET!!

[Calbenmike]

That GN was screamin!!!!!!!

[The215x]

...thats called holly shit fast

[TheCHEVYGUY95]

Bad Ass. One that turbo lag is over that car is gone! Love it!

[TequilaKG]

"Supra from hell" couldn't keep up with that.

[vwbug1965]

I THINK IT WOULD HELP IF THE RACE WAS 200 FEET

[davidmaclee]

that was nice he just played with him. never even spooled before he left the line and he let off before the finish. gotta love some turbo

[296jayce]

wwwooooooooowwwwwww, lmao thats something else, at least gm won, and it was just pure american muscel, not no euro stuff, or jap trash

[snowman4839]

is hilarious because you can just imagine the GN driver thinking... "Oh wait, this is a race?? LAWLS. *TURBO SCREAM*"

[bohdanko90]

thats why turbo>All motor

[2WheelinTacoma]

I love my 1984 Buick :-)

[BlaineDownforit]

I have a Buick Regal.... I fucking love it. I've smoked quite a few v8's even though are stock, i just have so much torque. Yay! :)

[sinusbradycardia]

@BlaineDownforit 86 Grand National and I love it. I have it dyno'd results were 425hp @ 4700rpm and 490 ft/lbs of torque at ~ 2800rpm. Lots of torque! Love to see someone else who appreciates the massive torque these turbo charged and intercooled v6 could output. Now, 20 old years later, there are other v6s with similar torque numbers like Ford's EcoTech, which Twin Turbo 3.5 v6. Too bad Buick didn't continue with a rear wheel drive car with their little engine that could.

[CyborgbobaFett]

@sinusbradycardia Ford's engine is called a EcoBoost, Ecotec is GM ;)

[sinusbradycardia]

@CyborgbobaFett Thank you and to think I stood right there in Ford Powertrain Engine Engineering's Lobby and looked right at that engine and even mentioned it in the interview.  I bet you I called it Ecotec. I worked at Ford Powertrain Engine Engineering for 4 years doing high level driver software for fuel system. Hind sight is always 20/20, but that was the biggest mistake career wise I ever made leaving Ford. The worst part it was only 12 miles round trip. Now I travel 50 miles round trip.

[grayham87]

v-tech is like turbo lag....except without that pesky horsepower :)

[x808drifter]

@grayham87

Turbo Lag and small motor. To give the big V8's hope off the line.

[EZ30Loyale]

Hah.

Chevy: I GOT HIM.

GNX: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOST.

[MrFordolet60]

that is a fake ass grand national! it has an 8 in it its just a buick regal now dumb fucker. Ruin a good car

[Lifewontwait29]

@MrFordolet60 its a turbo stage 2 engine.... come on man its still a buick motor and car, just modified!!!

[ferretyork]

@MrFordolet60 its not a fake. that is the 3.8 v6 turbo engine. listen to the boost. learn ur damn cars before u talk

[undeadkillers]

@ferretyork How is it a V6? Once the turbo was entering its sweet zone the sound of a V8 could be heard.

0:10

[daltex81]

Damn!! That GN Played Fetch on that chevy!!

[CwaIkers]

Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter



[agentry880]

GM "Ok let me stop playing with this guy"

[454sskilla]

[scott93257]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!

[heyybii]

[DriftkingS2K]

L O L

[volvodaddy82]

OMG!

[jgian360]

mmmmmmmmmmmm turbo lag

[joe27baja]

@jgian360 In this case its not turbo lag nor was he sleeping at the line, Chris has his boost timed to come on insted of planting 1,800 horsepower to the ground off the line

[vetttech1999]

man that Buick just realed in the chevy,, great video

[NASTYTHEBOY]

BOOST FTW :D

[BadAssGN]

Did Chris ever get this car back together??

[StoneCold75]

You could hear the Turbo kick in and it sounded like a friggin lear jet ...looked like one too!!

[Jasons87T]

That was Chris Chow's twin Turbo V8 GN

[GottaLoveAraceli]

i think i wet myself a little....

[westfabrications]

I DID!!

[fi7thy]

Holy shit!

[GottaLoveAraceli]

that was fuckin awesome

[JayGeePee1]

If it had wings it would of went into flight. It picked up like a jet does on take off.

[superdave308]

looked like he got treed

[1999RMK]

Thats Unshual...Normally those Turbo Buicks launch pretty good

[chef423]

@1999RMK bad hole shot...if u know what your doing and have a few low end "mods" in the right places on the car...there is NO 'turbo lag'

[AyonRaven]

@chef423 there is if its hot enough out side. i know what you're sayin though

[digitty006]

once that turbo kicks in they are amazing. still get a buzz everytime im in one.

[ElectraGSX]

Niiiice! Buick are awesome especially if its a Buick inside.

[boss12]

The hare beat the tortoise!

[1QuEsT3]

three letters O M G

[iluvbuickgnx]

don't sound like turbo 3800, must be replacement motor, guessing that's why he got off to a slow start.

what was the other car, a 57 chevy?

[1bad68camaro]

55 chevy

[drufle]

lol., passed like it was standing still

[91mustanggt306]

I think thats a twin turbo V8

[BadAssGN]

Actually that is a Twin Turbo V8

it's based on an LT1 and it was built by Duttweiler

[sinusbradycardia]

There are either people who don't know or are lying, because I've ask quite a few in the Buick community and have been told V6.

[19Clutch69]

Chris chow put a V8 twin turbo in his GN.

[sinusbradycardia]

@sinusbradycardia - I have to correct my comment. Chris Chow's GN is Twin Turbo V8.

[ilovejuliforever]

@sinusbradycardia he put a v8 in there? how many liter, cuz i know it comes stock with a 3.8L single turbo, and intercooled

[djpudgey]

@ilovejuliforever if I'm not misstaken, its a small block twin turbo.

[NintendoXSega]

thats a custom twin turbo GN the owner is Chris Chow.

[suspectstreet]

bloody hell that thing moves ahahha

[BlueFox284]

Haha, Buick turbo FTW!!!

[espritedecorp]

Don't get much better than that!
