Here's my old 1986 Buick Grand National beating up on a stage 3 Roush Mustang a few years back. Run was done on pump gas and Drag radials.

  • nice man wats that thing run......and if anybody has any tips for me i have a 3.5 inch maf and a gen 2 translator ....and its been givin my dad probelms it will cut out at 10 lb of boost wen he has it set for 26 to 30 lb of boost if u kno wat the prob is msg me plz.......

  • The best it ever ran in my hands was 11.95 on slicks and C16. Never did get a good tune on race gas. Also I had a non-lockup converter and only trapped 117 on that run. Whenever I had cutout with the bigger MAF and translator it was from incorrect timing, too much or too little. There was always a sweet spot for whatever gas I was running. Also, it may sound obvious, but make sure your spark plugs are gapped really tight when running that much boost.

  • that track looks like it's downhill..

  • It's funny how many people say that. That is Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The end is about 4' higher than than the starting line, then there's a pretty good uphill run to help slow down the car. It's just an optical illusion.

  • Rode in a gnx about oh 13 years ago and i still get tickled when i hear these import guys talk. You have no clue.

  • Back in 1984, I had a chance to buy a Buick Grand national or a Monte Carlo SS. Well, I got the SS cause my friend was going to get a GN. We went to the tracks and raced(Both cars straight from the dealer,bone stock). I got smoked every race. Much respect given to the Grand national owners.More respect to GNX owners LOL!!!

  • @amassey30 no intercooler until 86 only 200 h.p

  • @maner200 yes they did you idiot.

  • YES THEY DID FUCK HEAD

  • Buick grand national and a ford mustang, my 2 fav cars, i'd take a gn over a mustang though, this race is the reason y :P

  • maner200... You are a "BABUZE" fucken idiot. Just as stupid as most dumb fucks (in the early 80's) who did not know how much power a turbo v6 could produce and yank out the v6 to drop in a v8thinking that the v8 had more power.

  • lol iw ish u bought the gn now ..lol

  • they started in 1982, I have a 1984

  • The GN is just an amazing car. I'll miss mine if I actually find a buyer for it in the lousy economy.
