80's quality for the win! For that run, I just videoed the speedo, but I was watching my scan tool. It's more accurate.

The car is pretty badass. Even stock form they are impressive. I give you props for being different. Everyone goes v8 in cars like that. Always thought a turbo 6 that was that fast was cool. And the 500 ft/lbs is another story lol

My friend has one. The HD one. It's awesome. I want one. I want to use it on my bikes. The field of view is impressive. He stuck it to inside drivers window and you could see out passenger side window (it was facing the front of the car to see gauges/straight ahead).

Most of you guy's need tires. GN's need alot of suspension work to hook. My GN wouldn't hook WOT till I was rolling atleast 80mph. Not due to too much power, just lack of weight transfer.

Suspension and tires coming soon. Have a brand new rear-end set-up from Hotchkiss and a new sway bar from Hellwigg. I also plan to fix my exhaust manifold leak, pull some fuel, and add a transmission that can hold up to the power... And a paint job... ..

Should help a bit. The GNX setup hooks good.
Also your car makes 360-400tq. Remember I said the dyno torque reading was screwed on your run..

I do remember. I consulted an expert in the Turbo Buick world, and he said the torque numbers are consistent with a car in my HP range with the converter unlocked. OR the HP numbers are low, and in that case the torque is high. These cars make a lot of torque..
