rivierakid55 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 i'd get the grand national without hesitation. the tbss is great but its value will be in the toilet like every other new american made car or truck in a couple years.

Stitches040 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 There has always been a place in my Heart for the Buick Grand Nationals !!!!!! (Black of course) Even today, there is just something about them, that says Buy Me, Drive Me and Beat on me when you do it!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KissMySilvSS Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've always loved them also, but I say get both!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you could afford it get both,i remember those little v-6s kicked some butt but they are getting real pricey so if you find one at a reasonable priceget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT13 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've been seeing alot of GN's around lately. Even though I've been a MCSS fan for along time, I would love to get a GN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBlueSS Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've had 2 turbo Buicks (85 T-Type & 87 GN), and loved them. I want another one. Definitely fun and spooky cars. Nice smooth idle with A/C on, drive it to the track getting 20+ MPG, rip off some 11s in the 1/4, and drive it home. Freaks people out when they get their V8 ass handed to they by a little V6.

stevebbb Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) A couple weeks ago, I was at our local 1/8 mile strip when a young spanish guy with his two young sons pulled in with a pretty rough looking black GN, changed rear tires, left the exhaust stock, and went out and turned 7.80's. After several runs, he put his street tires on and left. I didn't talk to him to see what had been done to the car. It sounded like it was stock. There was also a red Cobalt SS, he was running 8.70's. He said he had change a pulley.

You can get one well into the 12s, even dip into high 11s occasionally, and never even pull a valve cover off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
