Grand National VS Corvette

A stock 87 Grand National and a Stock 87 Corvette go head to head in the quarter mile..needless to say, wasnt much of a race.. The GN sucked the paint off the Vette!

The poster doesn't know what this video really shows, I have the originals. I have this same race from several perspectives. It was a prototype GNx vs a Calloway Twin Turbo Corvette shot around November 1986 at Milan Dragway in Milan Michigan. You can barely see the twin air induction scoops on the Corvette's hood. I have a rear shot of this GNx heating up the meats and it has a Michigan Manufacturer (M Plate) on it designating it was owned by McLaren.

@shel8777 It better be faster than the Corvette if they bring it back or Don't bother!

good/cool cars die all the time. This car, the new G8 GXP (until pontiac died) toyota supras? pontiac fieros? nissan 300z? the list goes on and on, the bottom line is that the average consumer doesnt need these cars. but i think they should bring back the GNX buick has the potential now.

Another reason gm was bankrupt. Killed good cars instead of promoting them. I think there was room for the vette and the gnx. but alas.

@6irondriver its a 87 vette

[Snortemup]

The reason the grand national was discontinued is because it was faster then the same year vette. It looks like a c4 vette to me so this is definitely possible.

no stock corvette, a v8TT would not lose to a 231 V^ turbo. but the GNX is still a bad ass car and is a sleeper!

[6irondriver]

That vid was terrible quality, I could not tell what year the 'Vette was. And if the 'Vette was manual who knows how good the driver is. I've beaten an '09 'Vette in my '01 because he didn't shift gears as well- so don't put too much stock in this stuff.

this is the race between the gnx and the twin turbo callaway corvette
