Impressive.. see lots of cars like this all the time at the dragstrip which i go to almost every weekend..

one of the most impressive was an AWD Turbo Talon that ran low 10's (4 cylinder still) and a 10.1 second Dodge Challenger

Grand Nationals are some bad as$ cars. They were made to go fast and love it.

Ok.. Just to be fair, he does use a block girdle.

He launches using a transbrake.. @ 20PSI boost! :Q

That must be one hard launch.

In case someone asks....
Transbrakes.

Wheelstands are 😎

 

[rayma2]

Very nice. No way it's much of a street car, other than the fact that it has a license tag, but very nice nonetheless.

You're not seriously implying that the engine in the Grand National, although impressive, is better than a V8 are you?

That turbocharged V6 is fast, but a turbocharged V8 is even faster. There is no replacement for displacement.

Buick made these for 10 years. I used to have one years ago. They where nice cars. Only problem was they didn't like salty roads in Minnesota. 🙁 Tiz the reason why I got rid of mine. Never had the time to drive it.

Read about all the different models here.

Ah, but you're forgetting the all important fact, that it gets better mileage!
