I haven't read all of the article, however, it looked like they pulled down some 14's in the quarter. Keep in mind all I've done is glanced at the article. I did notice something strange though, I think it stated that the car came with a non-turbo 4.1 liter V6. Didn't know they existed. That's one less anyways.
This should be the quick version on their speedTurbo '82 GN's were super rare. Most got the cheaper 125 HP 4.1L. Rare doesn't equal good in stock form. Other than the seats and "the look", it didn't have that much going for it. They were rare because they were super expensive for 1982 and Buicks were a "fringe" car bought only by "Buick guys"
If I owned an '82 GN I would swap the motor/trans in a heartbeat for something good.... either an '86/87 drivetrain or Turbo LS.. Nobody needs a history lesson about how slow and pathetic Buick was in 1982. Life is too short.

For Contrast, A Fresh Turbo Regal Tested In The Feb. 1982 Issue Of Motor Trend Got To 60 Mph In 9.6 Seconds And Ran The Quarter In 17.3 Seconds.
