Any Personal Experience?

With the mid to late 80's Buick Grand Nationals? Did they have turbo chargers or something? Were they better/faster than 3rd gen camaros? Were they any good?

87 Grand National, FTW. Seriously, you can make those things so god-awfully quick, and they look sharp too.

I want to pick one up some day.

They have a turbocharged 3.8 liter V6. Stock they are quick but not fast by any means but they are very easily modified to make huge HP numbers and become extremely fast.

you can buy a regal t type cheaper and it's the same car just not blacked out (although you could order it blacked out the first 2 years and not get a gn the last couple you had to step up)

T-Type Regals cost just as much... they're equally rare cars these days, and now that performance is such huge business, they're bringing in quite big coin.

I will own one! I can't believe they made a car this big with a V6 look and perform so well. Gotta love the GNX's.
