How to put $150,000 into an G-Body (Grand National)

If you're going to say, "run circles around the car"

The other cars would have to beat the car in a 1/4 drag race, autocross, and a road race.

I'm more of a fan of cars with "full" interiors, but I support almost all G-bodies, from lowriders to those on 24" wheels to mostly stock.

I wonder how much of that $150k is labor though.

I'd take your car with that 6.0 over the 307 any day of the week. All the cool looks of the 442 with kick *ss performance.

Thanks for the kind words!

I’d love to see it against the UMI Monte on a track.

Not my cup of tea but if I had the unlimited funds I’d pay someone to build me something cool too.

In some places, $150K would be a good start on a little house with a big shop out back. Hard to steal a house...

The Monte would all over it with 250 less HP. I have a friend that's big into road racing, and he told me once (makes a lot of sense, too) that anything over 500-550rwhp is pointless because you can't get it on the ground. Stupid power makes it a good drift car unless it's AWD or a drag car on slicks.

I'd have $40k or so left over where I live. lol

Gives more meaning to something I hear a lot ... "nice Monte Carlo" ....

I get it often. I finally gave up with the explanation / correction, and now just reply " Thanks"....

I blew the cam out of the back of the motor because I didn't know how much boost I was running... The car came with a Grand National package...really?? The car is grey. We all know that Grand Nationals came with hood ornaments. We made it more aesthetically pleasing..not! The car has no dash, no door panels, no headliner, no grille, no bumpers, no fillers.. no thanks!! I can dig the workmanship here, but I have no doubt that I could have built a car to compete against this one for $50k AND it would have looked like a REAL Grand National. Moving on.

I'm still looking for the "Grand National" in the video. I guess after spending 150K he was shy another $25 bucks for a set of bumpers like MrSony……….

What I wanna know is . . . Steve, did some US Postal driver escape to Canada just to spin do-nuts? Or was that an imported export film? Exported, import?
