Grand Nationals?

I really don't understand why everybody thinks so highly of Grand Nationals. When my camaro was a 305 TPI everybody seemed to say, thats crap, its junk bla bla bla! At least its a V8. I mean they don't have the best rep but who cares! Where would the GN's be without the intercooled turbo? Thats right, they would be a grocery getter deluxe! I mean slap that intercooler on the 305 TPI, I bet it would rock. But when one drives by everybody seems to go ooooh? I read an interesting post on here that I loved, one of you guys was talking to a gn owner about racing your camaro, he told this guy that he would only race if the camaro owner wouldn't spray, and the response was, o.k I won't if you don't use your turbo!(lol) Thats beautiful! Don't get me wrong I like the Gns but they get way to much respect I think. I mean look at some of the 4 bangers out ther with turbo, they rock pretty good for what they are! Gns use turbo and get respect and the camaros on the juice are thought of as cheaters? I don't get it?? The Gns stock weren't all that anyway, but the GNX was! They go fast and thats all that counts I guess? Sorry, just venting.

We have a GN and it is awesome. Where would your car be without the 2 more cylinders?

Gns

Thats my whole point, its a V6 with turbo. Put that turbo on my LT1 (a real engine) and see what happens!
