Too many projects. Since I purchased the Grand National from my buddy in Idaho, I've spent way too much time at the local Buick dealer buying resto' parts for her
It runs 10.60's at 130 with 26 to 27lbs of boost on a specially built 200R4 with a Las Vegas Performance Trans, mechanical trans brake.
With real slicks and that MPH, it "should" do 10.20's. If you turn the boost up to 34 psi it could do a high 9.
It has a crap load of mods. I'm lowering from my original post to $14,000.00.
The trans is fresh and withstands the torque and weight of the car. The trans will not destroy itself the day you buy it.
But, there are paint chips, scratches and roof that's crumpled due to the previous owner not checking if the hood pins were left on the car.
When you think of all the "new" cars you could buy, I think this has more attitude than your typical Mitsu EVO. Which cost $29,000.00 to $33,000.00 and runs mid to low 13's with the right driver.
