[s-cars] Buick Grand National comparo

[Sean Douglas]

The Buick Grand National is a seriously quick car. A 3.8 litre turbo,
the stock power in 1987 was 245 HP and 330 ft-lbs and could do a 1/4
mile in under 14 sec. The GNX version is even faster with 276 HP and 360
ft-lbs and could get into the low 13's. This is all stock, and with
modifications to increase boost a 1/4 mile in under 12 sec was possible
even faster with slicks.

A stock GN or GNX would kill a stock UrS4/S6 and RS2'd UrS4/S6 would be
a good match for a GNX, but if they are modded, then its game over for
the Audi.
