watch out for those gn's. they can be extremely fast. i've driven a couple. they were fun. the stock one was an eye opener.


for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

i had an 87 gn with very few mods(exhaust,ground kit,chip,adjustable wastegate and fresh air kit)and ran 11.80's with drag radials and airbags in the back. everything else was stock. definately a very stealthy car and comfortable for long drives. wish i still had it. even got 23 mpg on the highway.

What I never liked about them was, other than their powertrain, they were an atrocious car. 80's GM product through and through - cheap interior, flimsy everything.

We have one, bought it brand new in 87. Ran 13.96 back in 88 at Ardmoore OK, bone stock. Dad has kept it in a time capsule, has 39,000 miles on it. We used to attend the Buick Nationals in Ennis. Be very careful calling one of these out. They can be a handful......

I own one of these cars so I'll tell you with my own personal experience.

My Buick has a Stage 2 engine with stage 2 heads. It's almost like Buicks version of the mopar preditor heads but from 80's vintage race parts. Well anyway, my car is a proven 9 second sreet car that passes CT emmsions every two years when its required to go. I am now shooting for 8's with some small changes.
I'm sure the car your racing may not be as built up as mine, but if it is dialed in, should easily be good for low 12's with a stock turbo and short block.

A friends T-type (GN in sheeps clothing) was grandma gray and had full interior, no cage etc. Looked like something you would find on a really clean used car lot.

Car ran 10.80's on DOT stickies! Traction was the main issue.

Car pulled like no street car I've ever ridden in.
