IMPALA SS 07

so im running an erand for my manager at work today and im on the parkway and i pass a few cars nothing special and the last one i passed was what looked like an old p.o.s. and im flying by traffic doing about 85-90ish... then out of nowhere i look in my rearview and see the p.o.s. gaining on me and at that point i have my foot to the floor just bout to hit 105 and this guy is still gaining on me and as he goes by i see the a-pillar filled with gauges and whatnot and then i see how he has the exhaust stop just under the middle of the car so i realize it is not the p.o.s. i thought it was. so he flys by me and i try and catch up so he slows a lil and punches it...now im doin 90 at this point and when he hit it he spuns his tires..no joke.. and i hear his turbo spool and im just like what the f at this point lol so we play around a lil more but i wasnt able to catch up to him ..this car was a very legit sleeper

The guy I bought my SS from bought one of those things and we raced on the bridge and he smoked my a$$. I was embarrassed that a granpa mobile smoked my elsjuan.

Say hello to the Buick Grand National. Very wicked cars.

My uncle had one of them back in the day with stage 2 everything and a set of slicks. This animal runs a 10.8 in this damn thing. I agree, very fast *** car

Turbo Buicks are never slow...and never cheap, so just believe that.

I saw an SS like yours on DeerPark Avenue Christmas Eve turning onto the road going to firehouse by the burgerking....Had emergency flashers and all that. Was that you????I was sitting at the light

Grand Nationals / GNx's are in my Top 5 favorite cars of all time.

Wicked with window tint, even today a clean one catches my eye. Too bad the interior never fit the exterior and the performance.

Was it an 80's GNX or a 90's Regal GS? Did he spin his front tires or his rears?

This?


Or this?

Maybe it was a Regal T-type, they look just like the GN.

importandy

either way if it was a Gn or a T there are very suttle diffs. From what I remember with my uncle having one was he had to build braces for the T-tops to keep them from shattering making the GN have that as a disadvantage vs the Regal T. The GNX was a McClaren edition type of car. McClaren racing got ahold aof a few GNs and added bigger exhaust, different badging, tires and fascias and maybe the rims too. They were a little lighter with more boost so they were indeed faster than the stockers.

nice times for a stocker

Stock turbo Regals (the intercooled 86-87 MY's) did not push 19 PSIG. They were high 7 second 0-60 MPH cars and would pull the quarter in the very high 14's @ 95. Not that you could find a stock one anymore. Very potent platform for mods.

Whoa, for a second there I thought you were referring to my '87 Regal sleeper.

BariPlayer

No A-pillar or super-obvious gauges save for the analog clock on the steering column.

BariPlayer

More common stock 0-60 times were in the low 6's and 14.4s at 94-95 in the 1/4; high 7's would translate to a mid 15 or so.

GNX's: 547 made from GNs taken off the assembly line...same longblock as GN (casting # 6109 block, cam, same 8445 heads from the N/A Regal)...2 more psi in the chip...better intercooler core (for its day)...same tranny with basically a factory shift kit (different accumulator springs and so on)...ceramic turbo...the big ticket item was the ladder bar rear suspension which replaced the factory 4-link; front suspension was stock GN...different exhaust was needed to clear the whiz-bang rear suspension...16" tire/wheel package with Gatorbacks...body add ons (flares, functional vents in the front fenders, badging, serial number plate above glovebox)....13.3 @ 104; a heady number back in 1987 when nothing else domestic was below 14 seconds...that was about it. I had the opportunity to work on and drive GNX #405 years ago; the only difference was that the rear end would rise on launch and not squat as I was used to in my GN.
