1600Hp Twin-Turbo Buick Grand National V8 - Owner reacts to Roadster Shop ridealong!

[@wyzer4]

One of the nicest Buick Grand National I've ever seen. 👍🏁

[@josephclayton4115]

Fr

[@reptileguy8458]

Absolutely! Stunningly gorgeous ride!

[@SVW1976]

Those wheels are perfection!

[@Racingj21ss]

The stance and the way the rear is sitting on the wheels is perfection 👌🏽

[@mranton2090]

I'm in lust😎

[@mikefabry1937]

Absolutely gorgeous. That wheel fitment is impeccable

[@nicholasgreen8087]

Yes... that meaty tuck (no homo) in the rear arches is ridic.

[@123antknee]

iT SURE IS!!!

[@droberts4888]

Love that stock design

[@k7dg]

The best Grand National ever got everything right power and looks. Phenomenal the owner has great taste

[@dobermanpac1064]

Working for Buick for decades 70-‘90 I was proud of the GN & GNX. I owned a 70 GS stage II, which ate everything it raced, but the GN’s were in a different world.

[@1972jwalk]

I got a 1987 with 80 k miles and would never change it and usually don't like one been changed to LS but this thing is done right on the money If I had money I would have one done like this !!!!!!!! You guys hit it outta the park !

[@brandonchang4685]

Congratulations to the new owner!! RS y’all done it again and will always be a fan of your work!!!

[@RamblinAround]

It's my favorite build that I've seen in years. You guys knocked it out of the park with this one!

[@bearlutz8114]

9.5/10 I'm drooling over hamdsome GN BUT the flaired wheel wells.....not so much IMO

[@bearlutz8114]

You guys should out a window in the conrwr so we can see the Gages I wanna see How fast y'all are going

[@viperq]

Love seeing 80's cars with a modern makeover.

[@jrzez]

Great to see an owner so happy with their car. Such a bad ass ride. Hope he has many miles of enjoyment.

[@innerlightfilms]

Probably the coolest GN in the world right now.

[@erich6879]

COME ON, how about a little video showing the engine and frame. PLEASE! 😁 Awesome car! Well done!

[@RoadsterShop]

More vids on this coming soon - check out the build gallery in the meantime! 🤘

[@mr.wildcat405]

Love the wider factory wheels

[@jamesnester8830]

love that sloppy door closing sound at 3:25....brings me back to 87'.

[@banneddamn]

For so many years this is exactly how ive always wanted to do a "grand national", v8 twin turbo, those wheels and stance, lightning rods (color matched)... even right down to the twin turbo 8 emblems ive had in my head. Perfect. Chefs kiss 😘

[@MH-so9oz]

A couple of my buddies bought new GN's back in the day. I owned a GMC Syclone as well. Awesome cars for the time. This car is badass as well, and the stance is perfect. Though for me, these cars are meant to be Turbo V6 cars. That's why they are legends.

[@walkthnyt2000]

⁠I just bought an ‘84 hot air T Type. I’m really torn between keeping it a Turbo 6 or going with a turbo 5.3 LS. It’s a tough choice !

[@-thebatman-]

@@walkthnyt2000LS is cheaper easier and more reliable

[@walkthnyt2000]

@@-thebatman- I hear ya Batman. I just gotta have that Turbo six sound. When I was street racing them back in the day with my 5.0 Mustang they were my worst enemy. I hear they’re inconsistent and problematic but I can’t put a V8 in one. I’m dropping an inter ooled 86-87 conversion in mine.

[@greytogray6070]

Stunning. I'm out of adjectives to describe how incredible your cars are. Roadster Shop sets the benchmark for modern street machines. Congratulations on another incredible product. P.S.: would appreciate a walk around in your videos featuring the engine, interior, suspension. You do an incredible job featuring the build process on your website, but it would be icing on the cake to see a minute or two on the details within the videos. Thanks so much for posting these up.

[@RoadsterShop]

Detailed overview coming soon.

[@tcathunder]

@@RoadsterShop Love the car.. What is the cost and build time.. Thanks

[@Justin-bz1dp]

Will you see car ​@@RoadsterShop

[@lostkauz83]

I’m super jealous rn 😳. G bodies are an icon of my birth years.

[@WayFastWhitey02]

If I ever win the lottery, I'll be having you guys build me something! Unbelievably beautiful build!

[@overbuiltlimited]

​@charlieb308 Whoa! I was way off.

[@michaelwayne7887]

This car is definitely, easily in top 3 coolest effing cars I've ever seen in my entire life. Wow, man. No words....

[@garymccloskeyjr.6265]

Brought the little kid right out of that owner! That’s awesome!

[@jasoncanvert1344]

This is hands down the best Grand National ever built. Absolutely insane. Perfection. Well done to all involved👌🏻

[@atamagashock]

Hands down the coolest GN build ever, and that’s coming from someone that has been in one since 1986

[@brown723369]

That is the Best GN I’ve EVER seen

[@mattsaxton8357]

Love that whistle. Congrats Scott!

[@melissameow215]

That's what I love and wait to hear for, that whistle almost like a jet 🛩️.

[@STRAIGHTP]

Wow. RS= 🏆Greatest G-Body ever REMADE. You guys knocked this out of the Universe. Every little detail from the engine sticker notes about pedestrians to the interior screens. just.. EVERYthing. OMG i want those screens! Hands down one of the greatest builds i have seen in ages

[@brandom198823]

The look on that man’s face says it all you guys should be very proud

[@SergeD.]

my dream car , i remember my 1986 , miss this car so much fun with in drag racing , love it

[@nativenation3296]

Best looking G-Bodys' ever made👌...

[@alexescobedo5687]

My dream car as a kid and still on my list! That baby is too sweet!! 🤙🏼

[@AutotopiaLA]

From cool cruiser to evil bitch with a slight push of the go pedal…you guys killed it on this one!!

[@chriskelly6055]

Yea buddy they finally supped up a grocery getter and turned it up10 notches from Buicks measly intention. A 427 with twin turbos and 1600 hp. That's beyond supercar. Man didn't think a G-body would sit like I desired it in my GNX mental mock-ups. Low as hell with carved out fenders to use full height and width of those original flares. RS molded the flares into the design and filled in the wheel wells perfectly. right motor, right boosted, right stance. My Monte Carlo has a 5" drop in rear and 2" dropped spindles on 15x8 + 15x10 w/245/60 (f) and 275/60 (r). Sits nasty but no where as nasty as this rocket. Excellent craftsmanship Jeremy and crew.

[@barryadams2557]

Anything connected to the roadster shop is going to be world class

[@rexgratteaux8655]

That's the baddest GRAND NATIONAL IVE EVER SEEN , DAMN !!! SHE BAD !!!

[@greggreg2263]

This is my favorite Buick grand national entire world. It looks awesome. Sounds awesome 😎

[@dainbramaged284]

Beautiful, aggressive,and straight up GNarly!! If you lined up 12 of the greatest cars ever built along side this masterpiece I'd pick this one 11 times out of 12. Good show RS!!!

[@blu_stallion3062]

Incredible job, possibly the best G--body build ever. Absolutely love everything about it, right down to doubling up the original turbo 6 logo to represent the twin turbos, well done. I bought an '87 T-type just after high school and I still miss it. Please post more video highlighting the engine, suspension and wheels. Congrats to the shop and also to the owner, killer build

[@AR-jq1hs]

That is one BADASS Buick!!!

[@hockeymann88]

I love this build. Already one of the best looking cars of the 80s and they took the look and capability to another level. You can tell the Roadster shop guys take a ton of pride in engineering, development and usability.

[@ThatShelbyGuy]

Absolutely the most bad ass GN ever, amazing build. The stance, the wheels, interior , the screens so well integrated . What an amazing car.

[@derrickgildon2352]

You guys always do great work but this one hands down is my favorite. 80’s American Muscle at it’s scary best!

[@cliftonneely3240]

HANDS DOWN THE BEST ONE I'VE SEEN.

[@audiwankenobi361]

The wheel fitment can possibly get any better! Dang!

[@hskrh8trs]

Everything's on the car is perfect. Stance, color, lightning rods, power and got to love all the smiles it creates.

[@itsdeeperthancars2173]

Beautiful GN, that stance is right on. Love hearing those turbos.

[@Xtalgic]

More reaction vids with this thing!

[@raudelramirez2005]

First time seeing you guys and I love it. I owned a gn and wish I still had it and the $$ to do this. It doesn’t matter how much hp, what matters is how big the smile is on the owner. That tells me everything. I was smiling from ear to ear watching the owner’s experience

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

What a truly incredible build. Will always love the look of these cars. Great job, team. much respect. Would love you guys to see the wife and I backyard, hehehe. None are done, but we are working on them.

[@sonnybadyal7767]

This is such a beautiful Grand National Restomod ...great build👍👍

[@erich6879]

I just saw the AutotopiaLA video...GREAT video to show off the car. I would love to see videos like that of ALL your builds. I LOVE your work, very classy, not over the top, always respecitng the origin and origional design of each car. I'll probably never be able to afford a build but I love what you do and you and the owners drive and discuss the vehicles. WELL DONE!

[@SS-qu9nn]

So fn cool. Dude is living the dream. Making a car that’s so crazy you can’t even drive it after you get it back from the shop. When you start getting toys where you need to hire Captains, Pilots or drivers, you know you made it.

[@josephkelly4893]

What a build!! Hats off to all involved

[@BackroadsStreetcars]

Saw this incredible build in person at Goodguys in Columbus, Ohio!! Such an amazing car!

[@mackadeww]

Damn that stance and wheel combo..Magnificent.. shifter dope.....

[@lostxboy4834]

If I had a GN I’d literally go all the way to to Illinois from California to have it built by tht same team. Every detail about this car is mind blowing!! 🤯

[@SkyzTh3Limitt]

Well done! Usable manageable power is the dream. With more than enough on tap. That feeling of infinite reserve is pure driving pleasure.

[@robertestrada1683]

I love the stance on it ,I love the 1600 hp love this car….. next to a 1964 Chevy impala SS convertible,this 1987 Buick grand national are my dream cars

[@droberts4888]

So sick, that dash cluster is so rad!!!!!

[@governor419]

This build is breathtaking(literally, based on the ride along reactions :) ). Well done, RS.

[@royrauch9775]

Imagine pulling up next to a Demon170 and easily showing him your taillights! AND the amazing thing is doing that build DEFINITELY would cost so much less than a Demon170! I had one new in 1987, spent about 45K with a Kenny Dutweiller twin turbo 4.1 liter and with drag radials went 10.5 at 131 atvE-town back then and had to feather the go pedal until it was past the 1/8 mile mark. That motor 35 years ago made 903HP on Kenny's dyno at 14 pounds of boost! Can just imagine what 1600HP would do today with current tires and chassis setup!

[@badassbrian11]

Now I when I comment I usually talk a little smack but let me tell you this car right here impressed me a lot. Absolute beast 💪💪💪. Great job guys👍👍👍👍👍

[@aliasof1591]

Unbelievable attention to detail and the engineering is amazing 👏 Perfect 😍

[@2muchBoost_]

That is probably one of the best builds that i ever seen...Can you give out some info on the suspension that is used?

[@RoadsterShop]

Full Roadster Shop FAST TRACK IRS chassis

[@XtinctGN]

Absolutely beautiful build but just another souped up regal, grand national badges should have come off with the V6. I get the LS platform is so reliable and so potent but it just isn’t a GN without the V6. But the stance of the car is byfar one of the nicest if not the nicest I’ve ever seen. Glad the owner is happy! That’s all that matters!

[@e46m54nissansr20937]

I agree

[@alphafort]

these fellas are the very best in the world ! It's like they can make you anything you want.

[@chevelleguy1957]

Amazing. What a machine. I remember when they came out. Even as a kid in ‘87, we knew, future CLASSIC. And it is. What’s on the back, 315’s ? That’s some wide rubber.

[@ChristineNamwaba]

Beautiful GN, that stance is right on. Love hearing those turbos.. More reaction vids with this thing!.

[@frios011]

I have always been, and am still in awe of this car!

[@JayTalksinjury]

Probably 1 of the Greatest car Delievers in the World 🌎.. I wanna add if you invested that much.... A rear remote adjustable wing and i front down plate...... Beeeeeautiful Build ❤

[@heavyevo]

I saw this vid and now searching for one. That thing looks incredible 👌

[@bengepp9314]

Nice watch *edit watches bros 👌🏼I hope it's (their)the real deal (👑AP)as is that awesome GN 💙🇦🇺

No matter your age...if you are into cars, HP's will always bring smiles and laughter 😂

Dream setup, man that dude has an amazing car. Absolutely beautiful. Wow

[@jamesbickham5552]

I love it, it’s the best running, and looking GN that I’ve seen. Best of luck with it!

[@robertpoudrette4483]

Love it! A monster, a well done one at that. Love the new turbo 8 logo made from two original turbo 6's!

[@chaching713]

Thanks for the video definitely appreciated!!

[@MrJaycocleaning]

LOVE that turbo sound!!

[@bryantg7641]

Those wheels are so sick !!!

[@cwarner218]

Just an incredible build. The attention to detail is stunning. I've been reading and watching every video I can of this car, and I keep finding more and more little details that make the build what it is. If I win the lotto, I think I'll be dropping off a GMC Syclone to see what the artists at the RS come up with.

[@glennmcqueen9475]

builder wearing a Rolex owner wearing a dearer watch. inspiration for all

[@nestalicortez9082]

That's what you call a real quality badass built !

[@neilbenoit7042]

Love them old Grand Nationals!Back in the day best i could afford at the time was an new 86 Iroc-z Camaro.

[@21jordanlee]

Wow wow wow! Just insanely beautiful! Nice AP and Bluezy.👏👏

[@jeffhanson664]

Another Killer fuckin build by the Roadster Shop! Damn guys it never disappoints, everything you guys do is amazing and over the top in quality and design.

[@TheClubJoe]

I remember back in my racing days the Grand Nationals were always hard to beat

[@bodieb1233]

Those cars are beautiful and so classy. That being said... Holy Crap ! Can't get any better.

[@Antimatter.]

I had one of these in 1992 for 2 years very fun car , 2 positions on the gas pedal all the way up and all the way down , they were headaches back then if you didn’t have a good mechanic, no internet etc , If you had questions you asked the grey haired guys , This car is a different animal I love the twin turbo logo on the head test and the gear shifter is intimidating as hell 😂 , Enjoy the car ! Great build !

[@brianpfouts2326]

Fun facts i work at a gm dealer and when the gnx came out it out performed the corvette in every way less engine better look steel to fiberglass the gnx or a T type regal could do it too. The gnx was truly a factory built G body that was a force to be at stoplight gran prix with

[@travkatz]

That stance is just mesmerizing

[@harleyhaynes]

SO much POWER so little tire 🙂 Serously wicked Buick! Dam good job of keeping it looking right!

[@jamesvincent414]

I was eleven years old when one of my neighbors friend showed up on my block with this car. It wasn’t 1600 hp , But it’s presence gained people’s attention. I think it was actually faster than a Ferrari at that time. The GMC Cyclone was comparable. The Buick Grand National in black was definitely a step up from the Chevy Monte Carlo 👍🏻

[@CSum-em8jg]

That thing is badass bro! My guy has a nice watch too!

[@bbcala9719]

The Vette Killer. I was in high school when these cars came out, only the kids with parents with money had them. They were very nice cars. 80's muscle

[@davidvonanderseck8649]

I saw the full video showing the build. Really nice car

[@victorcumba6305]

That GN is crazy and BADA$$ 🔥

[@SSScottSS]

Need to see much more of/about this car!!!! Amazing

[@buckmclean8391]

Roadster shop builds the best looking cars of anyone.

[@DEVUNK88]

If I happen to have a buick regal in pretty good condition that I wanted to turn into something like this, how much money are we talking? 50k? 100k? I cant even begin to speculate, but I saw the AutotopiaLA vid on this car and you guys put a ton of hours and craftsmanship into every sq inch of this car. Its so damn impressive, Its kinda of unreal how smooth and quiet it is even in beast mode But seriously how much?!?!!? you know ballpark figure

[@gianfrancopellegri6757]

Cool as hell car and very cool owner. Enjoy that GNX in good health. Long live car culture!!

[@KootBear]

this thing just... looks damn perfect, wow

[@123antknee]

ABSOLUTE BEAUTY!!!
