Well I'm not usually a person to street race but this was fun. I was enjoying saturday great day windows down going through town to a buddies house. At a light in town this guy in a honda civic bubble pulls next to me. He looks over and says nice Grandpa car. I'm thinking to myself is this kid stupid. I told him it had more power then he'll ever see. So we agree to race light turns green and I punch it he had no hope in heaven of catching up. I was at the next light and he was solid 100 yd back. I wish I knew how fast I was going stock GN speedo only goes to 85 getting that fixed soon :-).

But it was a real rush never raced before ever. Can't wait to hit the strip.

 

yee son

dont the GN go like 13's or soemthing? i remember someone saying they were corvette killers in their day.

 

I thought it was 12s who knows. All I know is I want a new speedo.

 

Nice car
12's?Here are the times I looked up...

1985 Buick Regal Grand National 7.5 15.7
1986 Buick Regal Grand National 4.9 13.9
1987 Buick Regal GNX 4.7 13.5

 

A stock GN is good for 13s, with a few cheap mods 12s are very do-able with a good driver. OP, nice car, I've always loved those Grand Nationals.[8D]

 

Nice kill, but dont be suprised if you come up on a Honda that can take you one of these days. It just as easy to bolt a turbo on a Honda as it is a Buick.

 

^ But that Buick was done right from the factory. Who the hell knows howsome of those turbo'd economy cars were put together.[8D]

 

Your missing the point. Come with me to Atco and I'll show you 5 guys in hondas running 10s & 11s and thenswitching tires and driving home.Their out there my friend.

 

^ Im not missing the point, note the "[8D]", Im well aware there are some fast *** civics out there.

I was half kidding about being "done right", but it does carry a little weight.

 

way to lay the smack down on the trash talking honda, thats a really good looking GN!
