GMHTP Power Trip 10-Second Turbo-T

This 1987 Turbo-T is the GM High-Tech Performance project car called Power Trip. Some of the most respected names in the Buick world built it to do two things: run 10s on slicks, and handle long commutes in reliable, air-conditioned comfort.

It’s still comfortable, reliable, and crazy fast. However, since I have several other projects that need my attention now, it’s time for Power Trip to find a new owner.

This is a powerful street/strip machine that you can race and road trip, and I’ve spent lots of time and money in the last year to get it ready for you. I’m even throwing in some cool GMHTP items as part of the deal.

However, while the paint looks great the body has a few dings. And it had one minor front end accident with me driving in 1995, and a 1988 accident with the previous owner that the police no longer have records for. It feels and drives just fine though, so if you want a fast TR at a good price and don’t care about it being investment-grade perfect, this one is for you.

This post is ridiculously long because I now live in the sticks of Nebraska, four hours from the nearest major airport. Along with the pics, videos, and receipts in the link below, this ad should explain exactly what kind of shape this Buick is in. That way there will be no surprises when you take the stagecoach up from Denver to see it in person.

Ratings:
Mechanical: 9/10. Every part from engine to axles was professionally built and installed by Cal Hartline, Eric Schertz, Jack Cotton, and Ron Joseph. Around 30 quarter mile passes after build with no issues. 150+ compression in all cylinders. Maybe a drop or two of oil from the rear main. Rear of driveshaft has slight wear where it used to hit the now-removed GNX suspension’s brace.

The Deal:
$17,000, no trades, wire transfer only

One lien, Buick used as collateral on my new car loan through a local bank. Titles in Nebraska are filed electronically, so once the bank gets the wire, it will take a week for the paper title to come to me so I can sign over to you. But once my bank gets the wire transfer, you can drive or ship the vehicle immediately if you like.

Due to my remote location in Nebraska, I’m happy to do a FaceTime session with serious buyers showing engine startup, vehicle condition, driving, etc.

We have two good mechanics in town. If you want to arrange for a pre-purchase inspection I can point you in the right direction.

Driving Characteristics:
This street/strip Turbo-T was built over 10 years ago, and was set up for max power at the strip. It pushed an estimated 600 rwhp and 600 rwtq at the 28-30 psi boost level during its 10.45 run.

The combo includes a roller cam, 3500-stall converter, 67GTQ turbo, headers, and a vacuum brake system. It’s not as responsive as a stock-combo TR, or as responsive as a modern-day 10-second combo using today’s quick spooling turbos and modern converters.

However with only a 5-psi launch, it spun the slicks hard at Englishtown’s sticky starting line. Even with low-boost launches the torque is immense; as it is only used for street duty now and I’m no spring chicken reflex-wise, a little lag before max boost is fine as it easily smokes the drag radials through two gears.

Drivability around town is smooth, and with the lockup converter it cruises at 70 mph at around 2,000 rpm. Due to me having to request another tune (thanks Cal) years after the build that Mr. Hartline fine tuned himself, the current “baseline” tune will occasionally stall during cold starts and idling at cold coolant temps; my laptop crashed soon after, so the next owner should update the XFI software, have the tune cleaned up by an XFI expert, and adjust the dual fan turn on temp.



Accidents:
1988: before I owned it, the Box Butte County (Alliance, NE) police department filed report #188024688 on 6/4/88. I contacted the Box Butte County Sheriff’s Office and Nebraska State Patrol but could not get any accident info.

1995: Lancaster County (Lincoln, NE), minor front end damage when Powermaster failed on me and I hit the rear of a compact car with the nose. Police weren’t called. My ex-brother in law insurance agent approved a nose and grill replacement, plus a full repaint, proving that even douchebags can occasionally be helpful.

FYI I’ve done 60,000 miles since the 1995 accident, and the frame / alignment / tire wear / driving feel are all fine. And yes, that means that I spent over a decade driving through NYC and Jersey, and the Buick never got a scratch. Call the freakin Guinness Book.

Odometer: estimated 168,000 miles
1993: Bought with 70,000 miles on odometer
2004: Original dash replaced at 158,065 miles in GMHTP GNX-style dash story
2004-08: Garaged in Queens except for 1-2 tech stories and track days/month in E-Town, NJ.
2008-11: Shipped to and garaged in Clearwater, FL. Driven to car shows and 3-4 tech stories
2011-Present: Shipped to and garaged in Western Nebraska. Driven around town, went to local shows, one Tour Nebraska event and one 300-mile road rally in 2016. Got new speedo working through XFI system in 2012, current new speedo reading is around 2,300.

NOTE: on the Carfax report seen in my Dropbox folder, there’s a 5/11/06 date from the Florida DMV that says “vehicle purchase reported.” This is wrong as I didn’t move to Florida until late 2008, and had registered the Buick in East Elmhurst NY (Queens) 2 months before that 5/11/06 date.

History:
In early 1993, my dad took me car shopping in western Nebraska. I’d seen G bodies in Hot Rod and Car Craft for years, and was drawn to the black Monte SS and Turbo Regal. We looked at a Monte SS Aerocoupe and a GN first, both out of my price range. Then we found this black Turbo-T with 70k on it, and I wanted it bad, but the lot had closed.

Fast forward to March 1993, when I heard a rumble outside and went out to see the T pull into the driveway. Unbeknownst to me, dad had gone to test drive it. He’d cut his teeth on souped-up Chevys and a ’67 Corvette, and couldn’t believe how quick this V-6 Buick was, so he bought it on the spot. I was happy to pay back half of the purchase price for this sinister Regal, which wore an aftermarket exhaust and Centerline wheels.

I had plenty of fun with it my senior year, then took it to college in faraway Lincoln. By that time the T had an upgraded fuel system and air intake from Kenne Bell, and a 100-octane chip if I could afford race gas that weekend. 13- and 12-second cars were quick back then in Nebraska, and I outran plenty of challengers on desolate East O Street.
I enjoyed trying to set low ET on the frequent, 300-mile trips home. That backfired one day when I got pulled over by a speed team: the K-9 officer took one look at my “radar jammer,” said, “This junk doesn’t work,” and confiscated it while giving me a hefty speeding ticket. No race gas that month!

After graduation in 1998 I moved to Minneapolis, where I started a job, joined a cool car club, and spent time at the south St. Paul street race spots. The competition was much quicker but the T loved that cool air. I have no idea how many times I raced in the first 8 years I owned it, but it had more kills than Arya Stark. I’d started reading a cool new EFI GM mag called GM High-Tech Performance, and when editor John Hunkins put out a call for a new writer, I got the job and moved to Jersey in 2001.

Street racing on the east coast was serious business, both from a speed and legal perspective. So aside from a few spirited pulls on the Garden State Parkway and I-95, I instead focused on my writing. Working at GMHTP was this GM hot rodder’s dream job: someone actually paid me to install speed parts, test them at Englishtown’s Raceway Park, and write about it. We GM guys took plenty of good-natured ball busting from the Muscle Mustangs staff, so after I became GMHTP’s editor, I developed a plan to cut a couple of seconds off of the T’s ET while keeping it streetable. And the Power Trip project was born.

To have some of the best Turbo Buick builders in the country working on this jalopy was a real honor, and I’m still so grateful to Cal, Jack, Ron, and the legendary Eric Schertz for transforming my mild Regal.

As a quick side note, Eric was responsible for my worst boss ass-chewing ever: during a test day at E-Town, he flashed that huge smile, pointed to his 9-second TR, and said, “Wanna go for a ride?” Afterwards, Jim Campisano’s face got bright red and my ears burned, but it was totally worth it.

EBEFAE26-726A-4F21-BFA5-0296DBA0E4CF.jpeg


After the build culminated in a mid 10-second pass and begrudging respect from the Mustang crew, I enjoyed street driving the T in NYC, and later in Clearwater FL, where I worked for AutoTrader for a few years. After that I shipped it back to Nebraska where I’ve been enjoying it since.

I’m now in my 40s with a “responsible” sedan and different priorities. The problem is, when I drive the T I wanna crank the boost up and go sideways all day, not drive it like a responsible pud. So now, as much as it pains me, it’s time for someone else to go sideways all day.

Bad to the bone on the radio is a nice touch! But yeah, I'm with bluegate...you're making it hard to get rid of my car. Nice car at a very nice price.
 
Appreciate it guys. I’ve been planning this for awhile so had lots of time to take pics, and took some notes while I was at it.
Cost wise I’d forgotten how different “good enough for me” and “good enough to sell” was...

Blue and Rafs, the way Turbo Buicks are getting love these days I wouldn’t sweat it, these beasts are mythical now so lots of folks want em!
 
Unless someone is absolutely stuck on having a GN, I can't see how someone would not buy this TR at that price. That's a lot of car for that money. Glws.

Happy Fourth everybody. Here’s a throwback pic from around 1995.

I’ve gotten some questions about the Centerlines, man I loved those wheels. 15 inches of 80s glory.

ED6E5F2C-9C4B-42C6-9BDF-1F3814E0FD09.jpeg


Ten years later, a buddy tried to shame me into the 21st century with this note, and soon the 17 inch Torq Thrusts went on.

The diehard Ohio State fan paid for that over the course of a weekend at his place, where I hung Nebraska flags out of the windows, and planted Husker towels, glasses, bottle openers etc throughout the house. He didn’t find the big flag for days.

Don’t mess with the Champ 500s.
 
GLWS there Ricker! Love this car! Great car at a great price. I used to love watching this car at the track. It ran like a raped ape but with the manners of a Sunday school teacher.
 
Wow, I’m in love! And man with the whole story laid out like that, what’s not to love?? This is a smoking deal.
 
I remember this car! great car and price! Good luck!

Whoa talk about a carbon copy! Yep that’s exactly what mine looked like before the repaint, my painter decided to leave the emblems off for some reason.
Sweet ride you had.
