Default Street supra vs. Turbo GN

Supra improved hp by 30hp or so on pump gas due to new fuel pumps and tune. running around 590-600hp. The GN is making upwards of 800-1000. My friend has never dynoed the car. But he does his own work and tune. He tunes by the seat of the pants and has put the car in the 8's in the 1/4. This day he was on pump with meth.

Once the turbo or turbo's on the GN quit laggin it's over. Supra is no dog either making quick work of that Z06. Both are badass street rides.

That was awesome! Badass cars all around and the video came out great.

My buddy has a pretty nice GN, but he's been sitting on his *** with it for almost a year now. Just needs a tune and it's good to go, lol.

Gn hauls ***! Anymore pics on the supra? Looks b/a. Also, it kinda looked like the z06 wasnt trying at first? It looked like it barely moved away from the truck in back for a couple secs.

God damn I want a GN so bad now. I've always loved those cars and that one is definitly sick.

Side question. Is there any difference between a grand national and a regal t-type?

Not that I know of (besides the looks). Though, of course, the GNX only came in the grand national body style. Got a hardcore group of them around me, every single one is at least in the 10's and they all drive them on the street with some as daily drivers.

I don't think anyone says there's no excuse for displacement.

The z06 guy told me he wasnt ready. Vid seems to confirm.

I raced that supra was he was 570 and it is a quick car. At 590 rwhp it is very badass.

But that GN is just beaste

found this on turbobuicks.com site...

T-types are generally lighter (Aluminum wheels, all have AL bumper supports while only '86 GN's got those, no spoiler-exc. wh1 cars), but a low optioned GN can weigh less than a high optioned T-type.

All 84-87 GNs were made in one color........BLACK. 84-85 are absolute turds cause they were hot air cars and the 86-87 were intercooled. GN and t-type were basically the same car just different badging and interior. The GNX made more power fromt eh factory along with other suspension mods not on regular GNs.

The one in the video is definetly not a turbo 6 anymore which annoys the living hell out of me.

Bone stock 86-87 GN with just injectors, meth, and downpipe will go 11s all day long.

With almost 50% more power at the wheel, and at probably the same weight, that Z06 is going to get pulled on like that either way.

Stock means stock. Not stock with modifications, because then it's not stock. "Yeah it's stock with a big turbo, a donkey-dick cam, Jesus strapped to the engine block, and a damn jet engine. But other than that it's stock!"
