My ex neighbor was a CPA and had a 1987 Grand National that he bought over 30 years ago. Over the years he must have dumped a hundred a fifty thousand bucks in to that car. It ran high tens and could be driven on the street. He won so many plaques and trophies from racing and car shows that his garage walls were covered with them. He and his wife divorced after 52 years of marriage. He had a new girlfriend a week after his divorce was final. I think she was the reason for the divorce. He and his ex wife had to sell everything from house to car. He took the GN to Gateway Custom cars to sell for him and he wanted 65 grand. After almost a year a man in Poland bought the GN for 25 grand and has to be the happiest Pollock in Poland. The new girlfriend didn't last long either. He and his wife didn't talk and pretty much lived separate lives for almost 15 years and just shared a beautiful house together. In the past year this all went down 2019 - 2020. Today he is living off some type of anti depressant that jacks him all up to where he just wants to talk. The grass is never greener on the other side of the hill..

But what makes you automatically think the modded street/strip car is the underdog here? Because it's got less cylinders? Well...boost is the substitute for cubic inches. There are plenty of 1000 hp 4 cylinder Hondas out there. Is it a big deal if one beats a bone stock Mustang GT? Of course not. When I see self professed car guys bashing Hellcats, they just look stupid. I don't own one, but my ex did, so I've got plenty of seat time in hers. Hellcats are fucking glorious. Show me another company with the audacity to put 700 hp in a family sedan or sports coupe. Show me another stock, factory vehicle that can take 5 adults and their luggage to Vegas at 200 mph. They do exist, but they're called airplanes. This was a good race between evenly matched cars, judging by the timeslips. One basically stock, the other heavily modded to bring it up to that level of performance It could have gone either way and probably will when the HC driver gets more seat time.

That turbo Grand National has been upgraded lol.

[@anonymouslegion4928]

Yes, but not 80k tho🤣

Saw a G N on the streets in Z-hills, FL last week. Flowmaster exhaust ! ! Super clean, shining paint, a little suspension work. Badass mobile.

Hmmm, hellcat got a lesson in drag racing.

Stock Kitty vs a modified National 👏🏽 good door 2 door race

One day I will own one of my all-time favorites the bad boy Buick

The GN has that OG Darth Vader swagger. Charger looks like a family car for canaries.

[@stephenneville7841]

Hahahahah!

[@jessew1990]

Grand National is a beast! I'd take it over the Hellcat. Something about those cars even in the modern day, just mean looking.

[@jaydubb71]

Grand National FTW! AND FIRST! LOL!

[@chaztitan6457]

.004 seconds quicker but down 2 mph. win?

[@SERG475HP]

Grand National Is Iconic 🇺🇸👍🏻🥊🏁

[@tomn7829]

Them dodges are for the tools with more money than brains. There's more videos of them getting beat than there is them winning. Most videos are of the tools being fools destroying their cars doing stupid stuff. Its all good its their money or was...😆 🤣 😂

Nothing smells better in the morning than burning rubber coming from your GNX.

[@ChrisMcCutcheon-wj2pp]

That V6 been hurting feelings since it's beginning, Buick actually was scolded for making the vette look slow

[@oldskolacura9798]

There was a guy named buddy that came on the NHRA scene many years ago and was giving Bob Glidden a hell of a time. Kenny Duttweiler ran the turbo V6 aswell.

[@justawilliamsfan]

That Buick may not be stock, but it sure is fast, holy shit.

obviously not stock.. uncle had a 87 and ran a best et of 14.2! lots of MYTHS about these cars, BUT easily upgradable for great performance gains

10.96 on a quarter. Stunning

[@BlacKnightRising]

the Grand National was an outright torque monster in stock form...it was so over-engineered that simple bolt-ons would add tons of HP and Torque to it and it's a lightweight at 3600lbs to she can blast down that 1320 with the greatest of ease!

As quick as the grand national is it’s not beating a stock hellcat that was not a stock grand national

[@bmoney3947]

They absolutly can. Crank boost and run alky or race gas.. with that combo you can get high 10s. Will the car last... no but it can run that a few times.

I suggest the hellcat get a turbo if he wants beat a bigturbo buick. This is stock block bolt ons injectors t-60 110 octane race fuel and a drag radial

"it's not beating a stock hellcat" is that not what we all just watched in this video? I'm confused..
