CruxGNZ Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Went to the Buick Nationals this past week and I got to meet Derek with the brown colored 240GNZ. WOW is that sucker quick! He was knocking off mid 10 second passes without a problem. The 280ZX turbo CV's held up fine to some wicked launches on those motorcycle slicks. Seeing Dereks GNZ gave me the added kick in the butt to get mine done faster. The swap is so simple and straight forward, it's unreal. On another note, there was a late model Buick Regal (front wheel drive model) that was running 12.7's!! It has the super charged engine like the GTP. It was just funny to see this thing beat a few stock GN's in the quarter. The car sound's like it has a gear drive flying down the track, pretty loud. He had a smaller pulley on the SC, a "the other guys" (I think that was what it was called) header and a few other goodies, but other than that it had stock internals with over 90K on the ticker. Now that engine is a good canidate to throw into a Z car. !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
