It's my money and I'll spend it the way I want...
I own an original and a modified 1987 Buick Grand National (1+1=2)...
THIS IS MY 87 GN GNX GSX, VIPER Street Driven Azz Kicker...
couple words and the men on this site have a stroke and act like an ex in need of money for toilet paper, simply becuz I wrote a couple words on YOUTUBE... who died and made you king of the GN / GNX market... then you need to come here for moral support like a bully at school... see my point of view...
Did the speedo go from 0-60 in 2 seconds... hell yes, did the car, hell no...
so what.... so what.... does that make you mad... c'mon man... where are the guys from the NFL, c'mon man.... give me a break...
Keyboard Gangsters tired becuz end of summer and you don't drive your trailer garage queen race car 900 HP 8 sec 150 mph... on the street like I do... as for my VERSION of a GNX Clone... what is wrong???
Name one GNX owner from 2008 and forward that will drive over nite without a trailer and more than 1,000 miles a trip.... anybody -- any GNX driven... not stored!!!! not on a trailer... how many people actually drive a car with actual GNX parts , not stored in a climate control envirnoment for the almighty dollar... especially in this crappy market...
While everybody is saving and selling -- I am spending and driving my Grand National with GNX ACCENTS... features... as for Kirban Style Reproduction Rims $1,099... I wanted them, I got em, I wanted GNX Turbo Shield, I wanted it I got it.... I wanted to meet Nickelback instead of spending money on GN, another $1100... oh yeah, needed more Buick Parts again this month, oops another $1500... oh yeah now I need alky and a few othr parts, another $4,000 in parts... and then paint and SW Gauges $2,000 plus paint...
who cares... and it isnt even a real GNX...
so in any case, when I die, I will give my GN and GNX Clone away to one loving BUICK DIEHARD person who will not be about the almighty dollar...
what will the value of my 2 cars be... 45 years from now... maybe I'll have a few more collectors to give away... at least I know the bashers dont want or have a taste in my view of collector autos / parts...
GNX CLONE is a way of promoting and letting people know yes they do exist and yes it is a GNX freaking clone, not a CLOWN... no it will never be like the GNX built by Kash... I don't want that... maybe you do, I DO NOT...
I purchased and installed HRpartsNstuff rear end becuz of going to the GS Nationals and racers using HR parts.... why spend $5,000 on clone....
When I'm done - maybe I'll have $35,000 - $45,000 stuck into, but so what...
I CAN sell my toys and buy faster toys or watch you and write or shoot photos... to each his or her own...
OK, I have one garage queen that is more valuable to me than any GNX, becuz I bought it NEW with 153 miles.... I'm an ORIGINAL OWNER.... how many GN owners can say that.... that they are the only owner and it is original...
now I have a 2nd GN and I wnt to modify it, anything I want.... anything...
If I were not living in 2 states Wisconsin and Maine, I'd be driving around with 18" GNX Style Rims and my GNX Clone project would be completed 8 years ahead of schedule...
Mean People suck... no wonder road rage exists, I hope you drive safer on the road -- bashing me...
Reminds me of the story where the guy found a grand national and everybody helped, like the theory pay it forward... except not in this thread...
what a waste of bandwidth, time and energy...
that youtube spills over to here...

I hate to burst your bubble but this is far from a GNX clone, its a Grand National with a couple of bolt-ons...GTA/Mesh style rims and an aluminum diff cover...if you had fender flares and fender vents to go along with the grill emblem you would have better luck backing up your claim. Don't get me wrong it is still a nice car and sounds like it runs good for the mods done to it.

3 days ago @nuklrsix so your saying if I have every GNX part but did not install it... then what, it is a GNX CLONE PROJECT... 10 years... March 2008 - 2018 --
when I purchased this car... it was NOT road ready to DRIVE...
p.s. I have flares and vents... and plans to buy SW (Stewart Warner Gauges) from Paul Castle... world of motorworks... you know the splice from Casper Elect. required... the GNX Cover is from Richard Clark... HRpartsNstuff from Paul Ferry... maybe you know some of these people!!!

0-60 in about 6-7 seconds. What was the point of this vid? If your car is capable of running low 10's (which its not even close) and hooking hard then you may be able to achieve a 2 sec 0-60 at the strip but your claim is total bull**** bud.

@bison548 ) Relax - I was joking, I know it is NOT a low 10's, it is a STREET DRIVEN Car, simple, 0-2 secs 60 MPH is same as spinning the tire on ice...
it is a joke... nothing serious... it is only a video, wow...
