Its the same as the Grand National, but its not "blacked out" , it has chrome trim on it....
the Grand National is built on the exact same platform... as the T-Type,..... the Regal

theres a guy in town that has an 8 second Grand National...... giddy-up

You mean 1/4 mile, and a 10 sec pas is not that easy, but sweet ride nevertheless. The single most impressive feature about the grand national (Im not sure if the t-type has it) is when you bring the revs up getting ready to launch the car, the rear raises. SWEEEETTTT.

Yep, easy 10 sec. platform. I love these cars, so easy to make stupid amounts of power, enjoy!!!

A friend of mine has a mid 9 second GN street car. You can hear the turbo spool up from across the parking lot at the local track. It sounds like a 747 taking off. I believe its a Turbonetics T88. Guy runs VP C16 and methanol injection at the track, and runs methanol and 93 octane on the street. Car is fast as hell either way.

I know its an old post but hope you still have that ride

Easy to get into the 10's?

Does it have a v6? What are you planning for performance?

You would need 600hp + for 10 sec 1/4miles ???

A bad V6 that even made muscle car guys who traditionally said "There's no substitute for cubic inches" sing a new tune - PRICELESS
