I’ve watched that video at least 20 times. I’ve sent it to many of my friends who loved it. My favorite car of all time. Keep up the great work.

Exhaust and sequential trans sound sinister. Pulls straight without typical G body shuffle. Turbo T for the win! Safe to say both Buicks truly deserved a second video.

Digging the new content idea. Back in the 90s, there was the mustang vs grand national showdown every summer at Englishtown, NJ, some of the baddest gn's would show up. Although the 86 t type is gnarly as hell, I'm going with the old school, v6 built gn. The sound, the stance, there's nothing like it. And like u sd , all the amenities too! And still can be a daily.

Love the series it's a new concept that's very entertaining. As far as car goes I would choose the black gn just for the comfort and drive ability. I own a 86 cutlass that I love taking out for drive posted couple videos take a look. And the family loves to ride with . And in the gray buick that would be uncomfortable for everyone and not very enjoyable. But I love both builds and the direction they are going with them. Thank you for your time hope you and yours have a blessed day.

I have no idea why g-body fans would dislike the gray T-Type. Ya, the 3800 Series 2 is gone… not by the owner’s choice necessarily… but this build more suits the owner’s usage of the car. Waiting for a turbo to spool while trying to power out of a turn is going to make for slow lap times. In an autoX it may never build boost. Doesn’t make sense to have that engine. Plus, as cool as the black car is, that 3800 makes a sound that’s hard to love.
