Good luck, last weeks test and tune the track was REALLY greasy. I guess it is to much to ask for a properly prepped track for you to "test and tune" on.

OK! the Gn went 8.63 @ 82MPH. Not bad for a pretty much stock V6. The car was having a problem building boost at the starting line so we were not able to get the car better than a 2.1 sec 60 foot.

There were a ton of street cars there tonight and the old V6 buick was the 3rd fastest street car there. The other cars were a New Challenger SRT/8 with a SC and water injection. It was running 8.0 average. The other was a SRT/8 grand charokee with a ton of engine mods running 8.50's. I really expected the jeep to be faster with the mods it had done and the all wheel drive.

The best part was when we got back in town and happen to run across the Neon SRT/4 that put a hurt on the camaro. The neon was not so lucky this time.

That's a pretty bad 60 foot for a mid 8 run. Sounds like the GN would benefit greatly from a new higher stall torque converter.

Default Sat night fun in Houses GN with a Stage 1 Neon.

Sat night there were was a group of neons out and about. House was able to race one of them in the GN.

SRT+vs+Grand+National+vs+Stage1+

I find it interesting that they say the Gn is modded to make it look better for the NEON! LOLOL
