So i take the buick to the track Reply #4 – June 24, 2006, 09:43:57 PM Tires make all the difference in the world. Back when I had my GN, I experimented with tires and it was interesting. Keep in mind this was 1/4 mile with a TE60, larger IC, alky injection and a 3000 stall converter. Regular old radials went 12.92. BFG drag radials were next and went 12.66. Last was the ET Streets and they busted out a 12.14 which I later improved to a 11.42 with a bigger exhaust and fuel pump. Best 60' with the ET's was a 1.58.....whooeeee! Quote Selected

So i take the buick to the track Reply #8 – June 25, 2006, 05:55:10 PM Make sure you have alot of fuel. Buicks can run real good but they need ALOT of fuel.My last one was a WE4 with 70 K on it. It went 12.0 @110 and it was just a bolt on car. Stock turbo,injectors,intake,cooler,ect. ect.I have owned a bunch of them since the early 90s and if I can help you at all just let me know.Here is a picture of my friends GN.It makes 1000 hp to the tires on pump gas.

If it was pulling hard on the top end, could have been a 12.7 or quicker.What kind of short time did it pull??? Quote Selected

So i take the buick to the track Reply #11 – June 26, 2006, 01:02:52 AM My best 1/4 NA run was 13.11@105, with a 1.90 short... 1/8 was 8.42@82.99 so you probably would have had a 12.9 time.... Quote Selected
So i take the buick to the track Reply #12 – June 26, 2006, 02:40:37 AM You know, I would really like to have a GN. My wife has been bugging me for a while now to get her a Cutlass or a Monte Carlo. She likes that kind of body style...... I should just get a GN for her. I showed her one the other day (One of my buddie's cars) and she loved it. Wich means I'd get to drive it sometimes! LOL ..... of course.... that means she would have to drive the TC sometimes too......Ah well! LOL Quote Selected

My wife is picky when it comes to cars and she has had all kinds of cool cars "03 Cobras,ws6 T/As,mark7s,Mark 8s" and the list goes on and on and to this day she still says that her turbo Buicks are her favorite.They are very comfy,They get great gas mileage,They are very reliable and they can run low 12s for around $700.How can you beat that?:D Quote Selected
