When I was in auto tech school in the late '90s a GN came in for an oil change. The instructor wouldn't let any of us students take it out for a test drive, but we did convince him to floor it while driving around campus and the back end got a little squirrelly at speed.

I was watching some Houston street races on YouTube the other day.  They had a GN lined up against a Hellcat.  What struck me was just how much BETTER LOOKING the GN was.  We’ve gotten accustomed to really hideous cars over the years.  Get off my lawn now.

I saw one drive by work a couple days ago. There's just something sinister about them that I love.

One of my favorite things about my last job was all the Buick GNs that I got to play with.

 

Road tuning a lightened, 730whp GN was interesting.  "Squirrely at speed" would happen at well over 100mph on asphalt, and this was WITH a well sorted rear suspension.
