With a 406 V8 in it IMHO it is no longer a GN but its still a nice car.

[Harry]

OK, A GN with a heart transplant.

I guess it's not a Lighting so it's not impressive. :Finger2:

No... It's not a GN anymore, that's all. It's still impressive. BTW-did I see them putting VHT, or something, on the tires before the pull?

[Harry]

Ok, I'll bite. What is it then. Prius, Maybe a Citation. So a Lightining or a Mustang is no longer a Lightning or Mustang once you start changing motors or converting to turbo from a blower?

I don't know that I would call that an accurate statement the thing that make a GN a GN is the fact that it has a V6 a GN with a V8 in it is a Buick Regal. Im sorry harry I didn't know you had a vested interest in this car and I didn't mean to offend you.

[Harry]

To begin with you havn't offended me. I posted something and you guys just start picking it apart. I am just discussing something with you guys that seems to be an issue with ya'll. No need to get defensive just because i am questioning ya'lls ideas.

[chrisheltra]

In your opinion is this a Lightning or not?

With knowledge gained on this forum I can confidently say that is either a street or race car/truck.

I heard if it has A/C and isnt currently on a track then its a street car.:confused:

Sure. Why wouldn't it be. Pro stock cars are still called either a Mustang or Charger or whatever.

This is why I dont think its a real L anymore even though it started as a authentic L with a VIN#. It shares absolutely nothing with a factory or modded L.

Ok, I can go with that. But, No matter what you or I think, If we were to go and register it at the DMV. It would be registered as an GN or Lightning. Now this is aside from the Street Car/Race Car debate. Whole nother topic.

[Carlrx7]

looks like a turtle to me.. lol

[Harry]

What's funny is, that thing has more HP than yours,mine and Chris's put together.

[Audie1]

I don't know that I would call that an accurate statement the thing that make a GN a GN is the fact that it has a V6 a GN

I agree with Chris..........the wittle V6 turbo is what makes it unique.

[Harry]

I agree with Chris..........the wittle V6 turbo is what makes it unique.

I totally understand what both of your are saying and agree that the V6 is what makes it what it is and from a collectors point of view it is ruined when changing it. But,My point is that it is still a GN if nothing else from the stand point of the VIN. You just can't change that, Legally that is.

well it started like as a BUICK REGAL and is a clone. I like it. But it should have kept the stock na 3.8 and have been faster.
