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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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