franklin Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It was the last generation Park Avenue with the Supercharger. Agreed. The three chrome ovals in the front fender ID'd the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The 3.8 superchaged is a torque monster..if you add a 3" pulley..an intake..exhaust & thermostat you can easily add 50-60 bhp to 3.8;) I will tell you the 3.8 with these mods will SMOKE the new 5.3! Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 College buddy of mine has a 05 GTP Comp G W/3" pulley...intake...Coilpack...SLP exhaust...& low temp thermostat! Very impressive down low...it just runs out of stem up high;)He wanted to try out my Gtech Pro SS 0-60 5.74...sticky tires would have REALLY helped;) He works for GM...basically stole the car!

canis Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 THIS is a fast Buick: http://www.racingflix.com/getvideo.asp?v=1017&p=2 I dunno how to link videos and all that, but wow. I think the two snails sticking out of the hood are a good hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmith Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Ahhh... the Grand National... what a scary contraption that was. Positively brutal acceleration, frighteningly bad brakes, shopping cart handling prowess and an interior only a grandfather would love. I never got the point of that thing. The GMC Typhoon was a much more interesting application of that engine... at least it had AWD, reasonable brakes and actually cornered pretty well.

PGT Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 We built a audio system into a modded Typhoon for the owner of Servint.com - a young punk who started an ISP out of his college dorm room. That think was SCARY fast, but a clunky transmission. Alot of fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eles1 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The GMC Typhoon was a much more interesting application of that engine... at least it had AWD, reasonable brakes and actually cornered pretty well. Actually, the GMC Typhoon/Syclone and the Buick GN had completely different engines: GN = 3.8L turbo Ty/Sy = 4.3L turbo They didn't really have much in common...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The 3.8 has a very good rep for responding to mods as well as being durable. The only 4.3 I have personal experience with broke all the time- lifters, the engine block itself rotted through- you name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4.3 is a pretty strong motor - it's essentially a gen1 smallblock (350) minus two cylinders. Same bore, stroke, and block geometry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
