A stock Buick Grand National is just as fast a this if not faster. The GN has a single turbo V-6. I'll try to find some more info on the GN.

Yes and No. I own both, a Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette (91# 26) as well as an 87 GNX (#254). While off the line yes the Buick is faster since its an automatic, etc, but it has no top end compared to the Callaway. The Callaway is not as fas off the line but by the time you reach 60 you caught up and there is no comparison past 100 MPH.

See my GNX @ http://www.employees.org/~luigi/Buicks.htm
and my Callaway @ http://www.corvetteforum.net/c4/luigi

That's pretty cool that you own both of them, I wish I could have a GNX let alone a GN

A GNX is an amazing car for what it is, but it's not got the gears or the power so there's no way it could be faster
