better t-types or grand nationals? i agree on the t-types but every GN around here is RIDICULOUSLY high priced.

ok thanks. that engine bay looked way to nice for 95,000 mile car. not to mention its in a different resolution. I'm waiting on the guy to text me a pic of the engine bay but he's dragging his feet. So i guess its as i suspected, a blacked out t-type?

Hey guys, I'm in the market for a GN and found one for sale but the car seems sketchy and i need some knowledge. It is listed as a GN and the exterior looks correct, but the interior has a bench seat and column shift, not to mention its all tan and brown instead of grey and black. Also, a quick...

throw some nice wheels on there and that thing will look sick.

i just want an extremely reliable weekend cruiser that handles like its on rails and may eventually make a 12 second 1/4 mile. My budget waxes and wanes. Im not building a track car, or a show car (though i do take alot of pride in how my vehicles look), just a super nice cruiser. im in north...

i would agree that ive seen some horror stories, but do you have any first hand experience? not questioning the merits of your opinion, because one of the first things i thought of doing was a sbc swap, but ide like to keep the 3.8 for as long as possible for originality purposes and because i...

why is that?

i see you guys are mentioning having problems after only 120,000 miles. are these engines really that poorly designed or are they just fluke events?

buying an '85 t-type that the owner says has a 1987 Grand National computer in it. What is the significance of this? Are the GN computers easier to tune? is it even possible to run a hot air car with this computer? does the guy not know what he's talking about? Just trying to shine a little...

well, from what i read, it seems that the "hot air" cars take a little more work to get fast, but it is still crazy how easy it is. I did do alot of reading on that site yesterday (about three hours of it) and DAMN theres alot of info.

it is still a hot air car, so it would appear that the only thing from the '87 is the computer. i will take a look at the sections mentioned, like i said, still trying to get my bearings around here. what do you know, another lightning guy on a GM forum lol, small world. It is kindof a slap...

Thanks for the quick response. My previous assumption has been confirmed, im probably in over my head lol. Ive spent the last couple years in the world of Gen 1 Ford lightnings, which require a vast knowledge base to operate consistently, and it has taken me this long to learn half of what there...

Howdy, names Cooper, and if all goes well i will soon be the owner of a 1985 Buick Regal T-type. I would like to start by saying ive never owned any GM vehicle and know virtually nothing about turbo Buicks. That being said, im no greenhorn when it comes to cars. I can turn a wrench as good as...
