That is the sickest Grand National I've ever seen. Is that all from the V6 or is it using a different engine?

Your engine bay can fit something close to that motor's potential: an RB26DETT. Six-cylinders, capable of 1,000+ HP;).

C'mon man, you know you want it:bigthumb:.

Do you know what's even scarier than that beast????

The same engine can be found in a 4WD truck or SUV..... SLEEPER!!!!!

I should know, my car collector cousin (someday I'll write myself into his will) has a GMC Typhoon for a daily driver/shop truck.

Actually the Grand Nationals used a turbo 3.8l V6. And the GMC Cyclone and Typhoons used a turbo 4.3l V6.

But judging by the way that Grand National was idling... its a good bet it wasn't a V6. It sounded alot like a big block V8. Those V6's can be made to lope but they sound alot more hmmm... 'smaller' even though they can make great power. What we heard sounded like it had some nuts to it.

Could be wrong.. just thats what it sounds like to my friends and I. We still think its badass though. :)

i think it could have been a V6 even a 6 banger can get really loud on straight headers

I personally didn't have to hear it to know it was bad ass...I mean the fact that it has 2 FAIRLY LARGE turbines sticking out the top of the HOOD...was kind of an inclination towards it's power....

---Edit---

Now what would have truley made my day....would be if the tires caught enough traction to rip it out of it's holstering and send it shooting off of the rack...Woo..good times

I finally heard it...I agree, it definately sounds like a V8 in thre, judging from the cam overlap at idle. Like you said though, don't know for sure.

Why do the looks matter? That car will own any of those decal covered, neon painted, folgers coffee can muffler equipped cars with a 14 foot tall wing any day.....

So....If I were to make an exact replica of that GN..Paint it bright blue..and put a huge fin on it..what about then?

Teabagger Vance

07-02-2003, 02:55 AM

And how often do you see people driving a bright blue version of that car with the same setup and a giant fin? :thefinger

-The Stig-

07-02-2003, 02:59 AM

I bet that GN cost a fraction of that of those race cars and I bet runs in the 9's... probably what about what they run.. If not that GN would most likely give them a run for their stickers and wings. :wink:

Shinez

07-02-2003, 03:05 AM

actually hte APC focus run's 7.3's consistantly..not 9's.....And I doubt that car was cheap...I mean..You can get a supra into the 9's with a simple package...Although that costs 33,000 dollars i think it is?.....but that also gets you your own version of the "titan motorsports" supra..

I think it was 5 years ago that I read an article in Turbo magazine about a street-legal GN that ran low 7's in track-trim (race gas, slicks), and mid-8's in street-trim.

I will have one of those in my collection someday:devil:...
