Whats with them Jap-crap tires on this shit, didn’t we bomb them in Pearl Harbor? So weird how this 3.8L turbo car that was supposed to be special has around the same horsepower as the Camry and 0-60 times as the Accord coupe both of which are NA and less disp. ---

it was twenty years ago!! emissions and engine technology have come a long way since then think about what kind of hp #s and 0-60 times the camry and accord were doing in 1987 =) hell, in 87 if a japanese car had 100 hp that was a lot. okok so you had turbos… the supra and 300zx… they each did ~200hp. this thing did 300. its really not that bad. ---

ON DAY ONE GOD SAID “LET THERE BE SPEED POWER AND GRACE” HE THEN WHENT ON TO CREATED: “THE 1987 BUICK GRAND NATIONAL GNX” When you look in your rear view mirror you see black death coming for you, all you see is black darkness nipping on your rear bumper, you try to run from it but it just keep getting closer and then you hear what death sounds like, it’s the howling of a spooling GNX turbo. I will own a GN one day. It has been my dream car for as long as I could remember. And to think I almost had one. I remember in 1987 being at CITY Buick Pontiac Cadillac (Lawrence and Victoria park) with my step father, he was looking to buy a new car he was looking at a Buick Grand National for some stupid reason he bought a 1987 Buick Lesabre T-type. WTF?.. No wonder my mom divorced his ass, what a fuckhead, what was he thinking? ---

Dollar for Dollar, we both know the GN has more straight line potential… (notice I only mentioned straight line) Altima coupe 3.5SE and the Camry SE with the 3.5L V6… The Camry makes 248 lb.-ft. at 4600 RPM The Altima makes 258 @ 4400 I do think torque is part of the equation and it should be pointed out that the GN has over 100 lb.-ft on each car at lower RPMs at that. Comparing a GNX to a altima/camry is quite surprising as the HP numbers are damn close but neither car will ever be a GNX. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gnx-192/118037.md?page=2)
