Buick GN vs. Dodge Viper

Is it possible, my computer is to slow to run the mpeg that was sent to me in the mail, it says that two Grand Nationals smoke a dodge viper. I would love to see that i'm a huge fan of Buicks.

it's possible

Woth some tubbies and some light mods it is possible. Just be sure to have a spare transmission in your glove box.

It's very possible.

I wish i could watch it, has anyone else tried the link yet? Does it work?

Yeah, I watched it. It wasn't all that impressive just two GN's slowly walking a GTS.

Was kinda uneventfull.

well wut do u want? them to go into a 150 ft drift? then over an openning bridge? then jump over a flaming man who jus got struck by lightning while trying to save his cat? all while yelling "MONICAAAAAAAAAAA"

:lol:

around here i would put my money on a GN against a viper no doubt....theres mean ass GN's around here even a few T types, i want a GN....:frown:

my friend has an 86 GN with a 4.1 cadillac engine in it turbo charged and bored to a 4.3. it's a beast. GM Rules.

Where were was the action? the explosions? cars jumping over hills and slamming onto the pavement?


One of the Grand Nationals and the Viper should of started running into each other trying to knock each other off course. Then the GN's loses control and barrel rolls off a cliff, exploding as it finally stop at the bottom. That, is movie magic. :icon16:

no no no....i want to see a gn with flames shooting out the exuast and neons .....mmmmmmmmmmmm :bigthumb:

hell f'in yea!!! have you ever seen the video of arabs going drifting around 130mph and breaking out into 800ft drifts??? omg i want to get those videos again, i cant find them, looking everywhere

GNs can be evil fast. Really the nicest car Buick ever made IMO.

Hey hey hey, gn's are awesome cars yeah. But don't forget about the other great Buicks like the regal and lesabre t-types. I love my T-Type and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

Josh, you know damn well that you would trade it for your dads camaro or a GN if the opportunity arose.

Not the camaro, maybe the gn though.......I still love my car

that video is horrible. the viper didnt even launch and the gn's did. for all we know the viper could just be cruisin while the gn's are going balls out. i dont believe it.

The words of the naive, there is no way you can tell. But you don't have to make it sound like Gn's are dogs!

:lol: :loser:

the guy driving the viper seems like he can't shift well b/c everytime he does he gets left behind :tongue:

i didnt mean it to sound like i was dissing the gn, but i dont think it is possible for a gn to whoop the shit out of a viper like that.

They have street-legal 7-8-9 second GNs. Even the "slower" GNs, at 10sec to 12sec(barely modded) can beat PLENTY of Vipers.

the GNXs were the fastest produtcion car of there time (1/4 mile) i believe they ran mid to high 13s. a friend of mine got a GN from his uncle that passed away and with $1500 in mods hes running mid to high 11s on street tires. if you put the same amount of money as it would cost you to buy a viper the GN would destroy the viper. figure $40,000 for a used and great condition turbo GN plus another $30,000 in mods and still have $10,00 left over. youd be running 9s street leagl easily.

So where did all the money come from? Why don't I have 40 grand extra, I bought a S-10 afterall, I should have even more.

Please, I've got three GN's, best bang for the buck, PERIOD! I've put roughly $30,000 into my 85 GN (took out the hot-air set-up and put in an intercooled 87) over $15,000 of that is in the motor. Audi&Benz, it is very possible to whip a Viper, I did it when I still had the stock intercooler and turbo. You guys are right though watching a video is not the same as being there, the look on their face is priceless. Now I've got a front mount IC and a 70mm turbo along with a Speed-Pro Bank to Bank computer and a few other things. No, it's not just a straight line car, it's had suspension upgrades too. This same set-up ran 10.90's in an 86 camaro with 1.45 60' times, with the original 2004R transmission (built by Bruce Toelle, Performance Trans in Sacramento, Thanks Bruce) Too many people like your self underestimate the power of the dark side. I'm hoping that's what the guy driving the Viper through my neighborhood thinks too. One of these times I'm gonna see him when I'm in my car instead of from my front window. This guy actually has huge 69 stickers on his doors and a loud ass fart can for an exhaust. I think he stole it from a h#@*a.

I think he stole it from a h#@*a.


Yeah, Me too! :uhoh: :eek7: :confused:

A h#@*a exhaust on a Nova :eek7: ????? Yeah, that's real good, choke that sucker, and make it sound like s@it. I hope it's at least one of those really cool lighted tips :loser: :screwy: :disappoin :nono:

Hey Cock-Knocker, Why don't you explain what a 'h#@*a' is?

Not everybody know's how to read Idiotese.

:rolleyes:

know this thread is old...but i'll post JUST to irritate the mods... :biggrin:

for the person who doesn't believe the viper could lose, i'll take pictures at my buddy's uncles' house who is one of the "slower" GN's in his group.

he can only run the good ol' 1/4 in 10.8 seconds at 1700 FT above sea level...such slow cars......... :loser:

or how about the videot hat someone posted up of a twin turbo grand nation that put down over 1000hp at the wheels?

know this thread is old...but i'll post JUST to irritate the mods... :biggrin:

It's cool. It's barely a three-month-old thread. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/smile.gif

Cock-Knocker huh? That's funny. :screwy: I was raised not to say bad words, and I was just trying to be censored (guess it doesn't matter on this site). I'll make it real simple and I'll even spell it out for you: h#@*a is: H O N D A. I just hope my mom doesn't find out, she would beat the shit out of me and wash out my mouth with soap :uhoh: :eek: My point is, I was born in America, I am an American, and I'm gonna drive American, period! I don't really care if anyone thinks a foreign car is better. I'd rather push an American car than drive a foreign car. A true redneck should know this!

ah ha, now everything is makes perfect sence now.

WTF OMG (http://www.wtfomg.com)

Son, do you realise that most 'imports' are built in America? Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla are just a few that are built here in the good Ol U S of A! Last time I checked... the 'US' was still America.

And by the way... Chevrolet Camaro built in Canada, Chevrolet Suburban built in Mexico.

Why don't you wake up and smell that body odor of yours and realise that the 'domestic vs import' mentality was sooo 1978.

Shave that mullet, get an education and grow the hell up!

And if your mom is still beating your ass for a little potty mouth, time for you to man up and tell her to get her bare-ass-feet back in the damn kitchen and make you a sandwich!

What if you don't feel like a sandwich and want ice cream...? Perhaps a cookie? Can I tell her to get me some ice cream or a cookie?

Son? I aint your son, boy! And yes I do realize that most imports are built in the US, but they are still that, imports, foreign owned. I'd rather give my money to an American company, even if some of their stuff is built elsewhere.

Wake up and smell that body odor? Wow that's brilliant. I'm defeated, you have crushed me and hurt my feelings. Tell me something Redneck, do your parents make weekly or monthly payments on your mobile home? Domestic vs import mentality? It's called pride, in where I live, I would explain it further but I'd be wasting keystrokes.

Shave that mullet, get an education and grow the hell up!

Shaved it 20 years ago, but thanks for caring. As for the educaion, you might want to check into one for yourself (it's realize, not realise). Grow the hell up? Got that one covered too. President of a Corporation, Married for 12 years, 2 kids, and so many damn toys to play with I don't have to make over 2,000 posts on a website. You might want to ask your mom or dad take the lock off of your door so you can get outside once in a while.

And if your mom is still beating your ass for a little potty mouth, time for you to man up and tell her to get her bare-ass-feet back in the damn kitchen and make you a sandwich!

Yeah, roast beef and cheese (American) does sound good. But, I'll have to drive over to her house and get it, because I have my own house, without wheels. I know it's hard for you to envision a house without wheels, but if you stand on the roof of your "place" with some binoculars or a telescope you might see some. I would go outside and wave at you, but I'd rather go watch a movie on my 8', yes 8' THX Ultra 2 home theater system with over 700 DVD's and HDTV. As for your response to this post, I don't care, I'll never see it. I'll be too busy out driving around in my American car looking for moronic losers in foreign wingbat mobiles to embarass the crap out of.

1985GN:

First-off, we're not impressed. If you feel the need to spout-off about what toys you have to compensate for your wiener, go somewhere else. Were enthusiasts of cars here, and last I heard, that term wasn't owned by one country or people. So please.

Don't go off spinning your crap about how you're so Pro-American either, I was in Desert-Storm, fighting for everybody's freedom. Freedom to choose. I'll be DAMNED if I'm going to let some narrow-minded idiot tell me what I should and should not buy.

FYI, the American factories that are churning out these "foreign cars" might be eventually owned by overseas companies, but they are paying good-old-American dollars to their good-old-American employees...which is more than can be said for all these "American" companies that are farming out jobs to other countries, including GM, which built your Buick.
