1986 Buick Grand National
1986 saw significant changes
to the Grand National that would make it truly one of the best American
performance cars of the mid-1980s.
Buick added an air-to-air intercooler, adjusted the turbo, modified the
upper and lower intake manifolds, and redesigned the exhaust system. All of these changes added up to a
boost in power to 235 bhp and 330 lb-ft.
Other changes included a revised front air dam with an opening in the
center to allow cool air to reach the Intercooler duct and a revised grille
with fine vertical bars.
Production: Grand National: 5,512.
Well you have to race it at
least once. Bone stock (well
improved exhaust and a cold air kit) ran a best of 13.45.
