I don't know why you're so offended that the GLHS was just as fast as a Grand National?
No one is offended except the Mopar guy trying to stuff the square peg into the round hole.
The GLHS, while a fun car, is not in the same league as the GN. It's all about reality.
Exactly. From a 30mph roll, it might be a race, but from the line, in the real world? Its a front wheel drive. No chance. And yeah, sure, there were freaks and outliers, but Buick had 'em too. In the late 80's, it was GN vs 5.0L Mustangs, thats it. Its a legendary rivalry for a reason, and there was no one else in the game. The Corvettes got to watch, as did everything else. Only the old stuff was fast.
