Nice run with a rare car. Looks like you were definitely pulling him up top. I guess he ran out of torque on top end. Nice death.

unfortunate thing is with GNs a bolt on(s) raises its boost making them vicious from a stop.

That's not bad for a stock turbo car. Nice run! These cars really don't have the top end of LS cars. THey are also shaped like bricks..

I don't think the GN is a stock turbo car. Car made something like 300/440 on a mustang.

That's easily done. I've seen stock turbos run in the 11.8x's.

Nice death. Stalled auto and radial'd GN was no joke off the line.
Nice to see some real GN. I've seen about 2-3 buick regal t-top knockoffs.

Sweet race, I'm dying to run into a modded GN.

I love GN/Sy/Ty but am I the only one that thinks they sound like crap when you can't hear the turbo spooling?
