Grand Nationals were definitely my favorite cars for a few years, I raced a Turbo Regal in my 86 GT (93 motor, e-cam,headers, small bolt-ons, nothing major-ran 14's) He gave me about a 6 car-length start and totally trashed me half way down. I'm pretty sure he ran high 11's, low 12's. He had an adjustable wastgate, intercooler, built up 2004r trans and a few other small things, but stock turbo/engine internals. Their pretty sweet cars, but one in good condition will go from around $8000-16,000. For that much $$$ you could pick up an early 90's foxbody and put the rest of the money into heads/intake/cam/supercharger/gears and smoke a GN, plus you'll still handle better than any Regal.
