Throw that turboed v6 in a car, and you have a hotrod! Throw it in a truck and .. well.... not much of a hotrod anymore...

 

I think a turbo charged V6 is still considered a Ricer.......cept the Gran National

 

I'm a real fan of the '80's Buick Grand National and of the Buick 90 degree 3800cc V6...turboed or naturally aspirated.

The Grand National is a real hot rod...13's stock, when new...turn up the boost,,,you got 10's to 12's in the 1/4.

It's a striking looking car that seems to say...don't tread on me.

 

Yeah the GN is a pretty wild car, in stock form! Back when I drove my Grand Prix I wanted one of them, but then I wised up and bought a mustang haha.

 

I drove the Ecoboost at Fontana Speedway Saturday, WOW!
Twin turbos mounted right to the exhaust manifolds.
No lag.
Out-dragged a 6.2L on their dragstrip (I drove both)
Drove one pulling a trailer, did just fine.
I'd buy one of these motors.
