How would you rank the m/c vs. the g body Buick T-Type or GN. They both were pretty popular back in the day. My dad has an 87 Regal T-Type (3.8 with Turbo) and it seemed really quick. I was only 19 when he got it and of course he wouldn't let me drive it. I do know he drove an 87 m/c before he bought the Buick. He liked them both.

 

stock for stock im pretty sure the Ttype woudl take the MC down...is that what youre asking?

 

yes i guess. I just didnt know how they compared back then as far as performance. Thanks

 

well....with the Ttype...you can always just increase the boost...on the other hand, with the MCSS..you have more cubes to work with..."no replacement for displacement"....

 

I agree with Patrick, the Ttype or GN would kill a stock MC of that year range.

 

what about thsi years models? who would win now?

 

I think thats a very good question. Supercharged vs. turbocharged. HMMM!

 

this years models of what? i havent gotten to drive/work on any of the very new MCSS's...

 

The 02-05 supercharged montes vs. the 85-87 Buick G bodies with turbo.

 

Here are some track facts.... First numbers are 0-60 second number is 1/4 mile track times.. The 86 and 87 GN and GNX was a pretty quick car.. And yes, it would win over the new SC Montes..

Keep in mind these numbers are best times and will greatly depend on the driver and other conditions to hit a perfect run.
