1987 GNX

[bgmadison]

Hello All:
New member here (bgmadison) and I have to say pistonheads is one of the best web sites I have run across to date. I have owened to many cars to list but as of this moment I have a 1987 Buick GNX and a 1987 Buick Grand National. I have just sold my 2003 Z06 and am looking for a 4.5 TVR Cerb LW to replace it. Now that I am working overseas (Germany) my chance has arived so I will have one by next summer.

All the best

The first time I've seen a stock one. Makes a change from all the bags and brush'd ones. Very tidy.


Looking for a 71/72 Boat tail if you of one.

They are a V6 3.8L turbo (231cui) rated at about 235HP, the factory admitted after production stopped that the GN really had 305HP and the GNX had about 325. Mine is bone stock other than the turbo. I had a turbo fail at about 540 miles and it was replaced with a T75 Garret turbo with 75lbs inj. and supporting chip it is dynoed at 425HP and I've done one 1/4 mile run at 11.2 at 124mph traction was a big issue.

Good numbers

I drove my GN to work today and took a pic of it also not the best shot but here it is.

Sweet as fup.

Clearly a bit rapid in a straight line - how does it handle the kinks?

[bgmadison]

LOL not at all typical American car loves the straights but not great in the twisties!!!!!!!!!!! This car does get some 1/4 time and the car has been built. With 13 lbs of boost and the 15in stock wheel and tire set up it will turn 13.4's but with the boost turned up to 32lbs and slicks and skinies I have run a best of 10.69 @ 132 on a unpreped tract so it is alot of fun.
