It wasnt a stang, but it was definitely one hell of a ride!!! My friend I hadnt seen in awhile told me to come take him for a spin in my car, he was impressed with it and I think I may have hooked him on the fox body cars is one plus! The he said let me take you for a spin in my new ride, the garage door opened and it was a MINT 1987 Buick Grand National.. It was stock bottom end with head work and his turbo is putting out 20 PSI, Probably some more work done to it but he hit the high spots,,,, well let me tell you, the first time he nailed it on a roll it almost took my breath DAMN!!!! It was awsome!!! We did a few more shots from a roll, each time was awesome, all I could do was smile It ran a 10.20 last time it was at the track

On the way back, he stopped in a stretch, heated up the mickey thompson streets, we took off from a dead stop and damn do those tires HOOK UP!!


I know it was a GM product but I do have to say it was a hell of a ride, only downfall is now im wanting to buy a 4 cyl coupe and build a street monster with a turbo

Hate to say it, but if someone offered me an '87 GN or an '87 Stang most of you guys probably wouldn't like which one I'd pick.

Im with you man.... but of course, the GN is more rare and worth more too... I can pick up a decent 87 for a decent price any day of the year.. just finding a GN is enough to make a man want to pull his hair out.

Generally.. however, there is a regal GS at IRP that switched out his blower for a turbo... runs low low 11's.. thing is scary
