The irony of Buick GN's is they are torque monsters that turn no RPM and only hook decent. Thus making most on the street not nearly as fast as they could be. Dont get me wrong they are fast. Just need airbags/drag radials/shocks/and proper set up to take full advantage of there powerband. I loved both of my GN's.

Lucky it wasnt Les, Dean or Paul on the road. those buick are on roids! V8 Buicks built to boost.
Glad you got your car tuned!! Just curious how the drivetrain like the clutch, trans and axles are surviving. would like to get an evo later this year probably ship one down new from CA or WA.
