The Garret-turbo’d 3.8 V6 in the Grand National GNX.

I’ll be that guy. The motor and the suspension were astounding. The car, was a heap of shit, in the most ‘80s Buick ways possible.

No seating support, shitty plastics, rattles and rattles and rattles, dash pads that can and will separate below the windshield…

It’s a cool looking, fearsome car. But underneath it’s an ‘80s Buick.

The 3.8L V6 that powered the GNX was brilliant — wait for it — for a 1980s engine. Tuned by McLaren Engines and ASC (American Speciality Company), this thing was hitting 60 mph in under five seconds over 30 years ago. And while the GNX cool looking and fast, underneath it was simply a craptastic second-gen Buick Regal.
