3.8l V6 turbos. As far as the GNX was concerned, it was the fastest production vehicle untill they discontinued it.

GM couldnt have a Buick Regal faster than it\'s flagship Corvette. Hell, or even its Firebird\'s and Camaros.

Probably BUILT turbo 3.8l V6\'s :)

Those motors have soooo much potential and can sound MONSTEROUS.

We have one in our shop.  We\'ve had it on our show a couple times.  Pretty fun car.  FOr a redneck car that is.

I find them all of the time, I just don\'t think they are worth the $20K plus I see them for. :D

Hell, even alot of the GN\'s are still $13k give or take. :(

You see GNX\'s all over the place?  I hardly see them - but you are right they command at least $20K - they were the fastest American production car in 1987 if I remember correctly.

Ever think about getting a Regal T Type?  You could probably find that for less with the same engine.

Thats the last resort if I can\'t find a GN that is in reasonable shape for a reasonable amount of money.

Thats still a ways off though. I have two projects going now that are taking all of my money.
