This week’s Dyno Blast video features a Buick Regal that has been painted up to look like a Buick Grand National and rather than the GN’s turbocharged V6, this blacked out Regal packs a twin turbocharged V8.
It wouldn’t be SEMA without a new-school Trans Am post. This once was built for a Canadian customer, and the Magnuson Direct Mount Supercharger, beefy competition rockers, custom-ground cam and long tube headers—among other choice bits—mean this Screaming Chicken is putting down 600 horsepower at the wheels.
GM never should have killed Pontiac, and if China wasn’t so batshit for Buick, it might not have.
