2012 Buick Grand National

I got an e-mail from a buddy today. Thought some of you guys would get a kick out of this. Fat chance in my opinion, but one can dream.

 

That is too freaking cool Tom.:bglasses:

 

i would have to own that! They could also use the G8 to make a gn

 

would love to see another gn this time a v8 turbo to kill the new supercharged vette i can allready see flashbacks when buick was the king back in 87 and the corporate chevy guys were crying
THATS NOT FAIR HOW DID THEY SNEAK THAT BY US ou:

 

Looks more like a Camuick :laugh:

 

The grill needs to be black instead of chrome.

 

It's a Camaro with a trishield logo

 

I think they took the headlights off of a BMW... I like it though

 

Looks to Camarorish for me but it is a nice thought. Question for you GN guys.... Were/are the GN's as hot as they are made out to be? even in stock form can they move pretty good. I know everyone talks about how awesome the GNX's were but what about a stock GN.

And are there any differences between 86 and 87 models?

 

thought the only difference was the fender flares/fender port holes lol
and a matter of different tune

 

2012 you say? I think we will be all driving these if the govt has its way.
:laugh:

 

The Pontiac is dead!
Long live the Pontiac!

 

**** that. i'd get me a VW strret dune buggy and put an lc2 engine in it lol
atleast the smart car looks like its fast...that thing looks slower then go-karts haha

 

The 86-87 models were essentially the same drive train. The 84-85's had fuel injection without intercooling so they are called (hot air cars). In 86 the intercooler was added and the turbo location and plumbing was revamped. The 86-87 cars were able to run high 13's to low 14's totally stock of the showroom floor. My car ran 14.28 totally stock first time to the track in 1992. It's very easy to get into the high 12's with tweeking of the stock setup. From there you let your pocketbook determine how fast you want to go. :beers2:

Heres some quickie improvements I made based on the suggestions above.
-Blacked out grill
-Smoked Headlights
-Improved Hood Scoop Location and Size (more like old ones)
-Increased Nose length and Lowered Front End
-Added T6 Logo To Fender

 

I like cullens version better but not a fan of the wheels. still doesnt have a GN feel to me and looks like it shares the same body as the camaro, and i think its bulky.


nag nag nag lol

 

Yeah the swoops over the front fender and rear quarter need to go... Straighter like the GNX... maybe even changing the wheels like you mentioned would give more of a Buick feel.

 

Man you do great work...

 

whats with the fog lights nice car tho

 

Since when do GNs look like Camaros? I love the look, but I think this modified design will make a better Firebird.

m2c.
