THAT IS REDUNKYALOUS!!!!
The idle totally through me off because I was still expecting to hear a gas engine despite the pics! It's like drinking out of a soda bottle after refilling it with something else....it kinda shocks your taste buds. That is a bad arse ride.
I dunno if I would do that to a GNX, but more power to the guy who had the gonads to do it! I bet ya that thing picks up ridiculously just before mid track. I would kill to see that on the 1/4 mile.
I wonder how much torque that baby is pushing and what they did to reinforce the frame!

8.25 in the 1/8 mile???? Slow. There is a CTD truck running high 9's in 1/4 mile

Those Grand Nationals are beastly.
Putting in a Duramax? Wow, that is something! I like it, I like it a lot.
Like Diesel1 said, seeing the GN and hearing a GMFS 3500 Duramax was interesting.
Traction has to be the main issue with that car vs. a 4X4 drivetrain and more weight. The tub is monsterous to handle those wheels and tires.
+1 for the talent it took to get it done
+1 for unique
+1 for the results
:2thumbs:
By the way Scott, good work on the detail, too :woot:

:nixweiss Not sure how long the car has been together and what all has been done to the engine. Probably a lot more potential lurking in that combo.
PBR-I've never even seen that car in person, just saw it on another board and thought I'd share.

Ohhh, figured it was something you'd done and nobody noticed how clean it was since we were all surprised/amazed at diesel power in a Buick! :drool:
Such a shame that GM killed off the real T-Type styling and related mechanicals for their cars. It really woke that division up. I'm a long time Buick fan, but I don't see much to get excited about these days.
