I’ve always appreciated this car! Factory twin turbo V-6 producing 600hp! Not many of them left these days, most of them were retired to the scrap yard because the car had more horsepower than the drivers had sense.
There were so many little things you could do to them to make them quicker...Hypertech chips, headlight removal, exhaust. Lightly modded GNs could do what's done in this video. Biggest problem a GN had was traction back in the day. For the guys that went to slicks they had to go to beadlocks to keep the tires from spinning in the wheels. I remember my one and only ride in a lightly modded 87 GN on April Fools day of 1989. With 3 big guys in the car being easy on the gas it would chirp the tires on take off up to 65mph. Then you could roll along at 55mph and punch it and roast the tires just like the video. Still and will always be a dream car for me. My dad almost bought me an 86 used GN, but I was a 17 year old 6ft 6in 320 lb boy and I had to drive it with my head cocked sideways and that was with T tops. Still wish I had my 82 El Camino but with a 454 big block, big cam and carb, and electric cut outs. I can just enjoy that sound all day long.
@@user-bn3zo3mh5v You’re exactly right! These cars were a modern marvel of their time! Anyone who thought they had something fast knew better than to challenge a GN. Some hater’s though, but most of them are probably still children by today’s standards and can never truly appreciate what this g body platform could deliver. And we can remind them this was the concept of the murdered out style that took storm by others.👍.
In June 1987 I took delivery of mine at the dealer. It had 16 miles on the odometer, 16 miles. For the first week I had it my22 year old neck was sore all the time due to the super acceleration. After a week my neck got used to the car and stopped hurting me. The sound of the turbo fan was so cool. I bought mine for$ 16650.00. the dealer had one gnx for sale, but I could not afford 47000.00

Nope ! A grand national is a V6 car. Putting a V8 in one is like putting a 340 in a Hemi Cuda. It's not a Hemi Cuda without a Hemi. A grand National isn't a GN if you take the turbo 3.8 V6 out.

You’re right, unfortunately. If I was going to do this, I would start with a plain Regal, then add the GN parts for the look. It is a badass car, though…
I bought a stock Grand National 1987 off the showroom floor . The stock 6 cylinder with the Garrett turbo was absolutely wonderful for 6 second 0 to 60 mph. But I put the computer chip in a home without the converter change the pulley wheel ! It was a super fast car and drop it down a second 0 to 60 to min of 5 seconds . I was super young I was 21 years old at the time and there's a fast summer and a great summer !!
my dad had 3 turbo buicks at one point when I was a teenager. good God was that fun. I finally broke down and bought an 87 62000 original miles. I feel blessed and cursed at the same time 😆
Timeless Simple American Style! My Friend's Dad bought a Brand New One (Black Grand National, not GNX from 1987) in Spring of 1986! Then My Dad bought a Volvo 740 Intercooled Turbo at the same time. Midnight Metallic Blue. We drove both of them the same day, one day. The Volvo was QUICKER to spool up and take off, but the Grand National was a more substantial car, being American! BOTH were a BLAST to drive! We were 23 years old and PROUD of Our Dads!!!
Brings back memories...! I still remember trading in my '85 Grand national for GNX. I can still remember spending thousands of dollars to apply research and technology for updates and mods...!!! Even before the warranty ran out I went through several of the GM automatic transmissions....!!!
Getting 1600 hp to hook on a rear wheel drive car has got to be a handful to negotiate. I've seen some all wheel drive systems that seemed to help when it comes to putting as much down to the pavement as possible with minimal spin. Once you get into that range of hp, an AWD would be a great way to go if driving it regularly on the street. I recently saw an 86' Buick T-Type with a twin turbo setup and it was hell on wheels. The guy just couldn't get it to hook up very well and had to feather the gas when taking off from a complete stop or at a rolling start.Talk about fun mixed with adrenaline, this car has it and then some. What a beast!
I smoked more 8s with Grandpa v6 Corsica that was over 20 years older 3.1 after I ran through it and replacing knick knacks I drop 13s from 14 tire rim size on fronts and ran cleaners in it and put throttle body cleaning machines did radiator lines too!
My dad use to have one of these. Was his pride and joy. Then on my 2nd birthday he sold it because we couldn’t really afford to live and he wanted to give me a birthday. I hope someday to repay this favor. I’m now 30.
That is my dream car, every since I was little I seen a gnx blow the doors off a corvette at the drag strip. That one day burnt that car into my brain and I've been obsessed with them every since. I've never gotten to own one but hopefully one day I'll have my black on black gnx t type

I though you were going to say you were 16 and totalled it .
The little squeaks gave me PTSD when belts would start to slip
I was wondering how a supercharger would work in the Grand National instead of the turbo as I heard all of that squeaking etc.
That car was fast right out of the show room
WELL ALMOST
SHUT OFF AT 125
Not really
