Mattsiev, you're and idiot. You were never in a buick club because you seem to stupid to even be out of grade school, ever heard of spell check?? Regal T's and GN's have the same performance since they have the exact same drivetrain. The T-Types actually were a tenth faster in 86-87 because of alum bumper supports and alum rear drums making them lighter than a GN.

For god sakes use spell check too.

[mattsiev1]

@TheGovernment69 I think you need to learn to read and write. The comments made "@mattsiev1" are not by me but to me. You start off your comment with, "...you're and idiot". I'm "and" idiot? Maybe you should spell check before you flame. BTW, I'm the one making the argument that performance is the same on these variations of turbo Buicks and not the contrary.

If you click on "edit video", there's an option where you can stabilize it to remove the shakiness.

that buick looks exactly like mines bt mines is a 1986 t type buick regal

@TheGovernment69 Speaking of spell check, I'm assuming you meant "AN" not "AND" when you decided to call him an idiot, huh?

You should read your OWN writing before critiquing others, idiot.

@TheGovernment69 you are wrong... not all T-types had aluminum bumper supports only the WE4. we4 option was a black T with black out option and came with the supports.

@mattsiev1 how many time do i have to correct u if ur not talkin about the we-4 then ur sadly wrong on the the 1987 we-4 came the same expect for badge and braces and chrome pakage but for the regal turbo t outa of thats yr (87we-4) arnt the same the grandnation has a stage 2 buick gnx has the stage 3frame and next 2 a regal turbo t other then one yr 87 we-4 arnt the same so u should states wut ur saying wen maken a point i was in a buick club i had this argee ment with many new comers

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc How many times do you need to hear that the performance is the same? The only difference was badges.

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 in the 87 turbo t - WE4 witch is the yr and model your talkin about has little difference in frame and body but still main difference was suspension agine

87 turbo t we-4 is a great car but no performance no match to gn

WHAT WINS ON SUNDAY - SELL'S ON MONDAY

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc How have you "clearly" owned two GNs? I clearly race my car and know a thing or two, and can spell! I'm no expert with these cars, but neither are you obviously. Keep living your life by wikipedia and let me know how that pans out for you.

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc Sorry about the shit talkin'. But yes, I'm sure about the frames. GM is a big company that likes to make money so they build as many different cars out of the same stuff underneath that they can. They still do it that way today.

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 clearly i have owed 2 GN u clearly have owned a garbage bfor 86 type t or maybe a buddi or urs owned it to much for u now u trying to act like u no more or less im done talkin with ur clown ass wikipedia grand national and it will show ur stupid ass it self GN handles more upgrades then a type t they anit putting no fuckin upgrade stock morron

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 are u 100% sure about the frame ???? or agine talk shit

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc The frames are not different. What are you on? GNs more commonly had power seats, t tops, and power windows were standard on a GN thus making them, in general, heavier, and slower than a Turbo-T/T Type without these same options. But only in stock trim. Modifications change the whole playing field but clearly you don't know much about these cars, or at least as much as you think.

[mattsiev1]

@W31350 Thanks. Good to know.

[W31350]

@mattsiev1 It appears we are both wrong ; ) the converter is different but the heads were not ported.

go here and look under performance modifications. gnxregistry

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 from less options ur an idiot wut options did the gn have that would make it more wight u morron the frames r diffret not from options or some bullshit u maken up :) 

[mattsiev1]

@W31350 I don't think that's accurate. Where have you seen that the heads were different? And I know for a fact the converters were the same D5 found in all turbo regal 200-4R. The GNX spooled quicker from the lightweight, ceramic impeller on the turbo and not from the converter, if that's what you are referencing.

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc The Ts were lighter from less options so why again would a GN be faster?

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 yesss there iss by the main thing the wight

[W31350]

@mattsiev1 heads were the same but were ported which makes a big difference. converter was looser which also makes a difference.

[mattsiev1]

@EaStxVaNxiNc There is no difference between a Turbo T and a Grand National. The chips and turbos and rotating assemblies and cams and converters and intercoolers and alky all work equally in both.

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@mattsiev1 ya that talkin bone stock then upgrades and chips is where the grand national will out performe the turbo t

they are both very nice and as we speak the 86 are classic and the owners of these beast are thankful they never bin street legal tested

[mattsiev1]

@SCBianchi I sure do. Although nobody knows what it is. I just say "yes" when people say, is that a GN? Most people who know what a GNX is also know my car is not one despite the body additions so I don't get that one very often. I did when I had the GNX badges on, but that's why they are gone now, previous owner installed them.

[mattsiev1]

@W31350 The heads and converter were actually the same as a Grand National too but the valve body was modified for different shifts. The cooler was the same too but had more fins per square inch resulting in better cooling effectiveness.
