Buick-1999 The Buick Tape - An Exclusive Historical Perspective

This video, from Richard Lasseter, presents this Introduction…
“For the first time ever many of these privately held tapes have been released to our Buick community at large. Furthermore, they’ve all been compiled into one volume of Buick Musclecar History. This is the definitive tape when it comes to events which have established the rightful reputation of Buick muscle cars.
Please bear in mind that a few of these clips were not done “professionally,” so don’t expect perfect video quality. We tried to use as close to first-generation tapes we could, but in some cases it was not possible t o know what generation tape we were producing from. Some of the first-generation tapes themselves were amateur quality, the person having filmed it not knowing at the time the significance of what they were filming. To minimize “graininess,” picture frame size was slightly reduced. Everything was done to give you the best picture quality possible. With all this being said, we’re sure you’ll enjoy it all, so turn on your TV and VCR and let the good times roll!”

The original 1999 DVD video of this came with a nice written narration of each segment. Too bad that Segment 6 is largely unknown. That's Nick of Nick's Garage fame with the Sassy Grass Green Hemicuda. This was a Muscle Car Review sponsored July 1993 match race. 2 out of 3 runs in Naperville outside of Montreal. . The GSX took the 1st run, even after Nick red-lighted. All the fuss you see was because Nick refused to run a second race because he knew that he was covered. So the magazine article was sabotaged and was never in the magazine. ... Larry Rose

That was badass at the end, the GN kicking ass. They can still compete today with some of the modern muscle, but require lots of aftermarket. Several stock block GN and Turbo Ts have managed to break into the 8's and if you swap a Series 2 or 3 3800 into a GN and build it up you can do even better running into the 8's without having to worry about your block splitting and hell the 3800 can use the stock crank and main caps. Hopefully someone stateside will push the 3800 or 3.8L into the 7's in a GN or Turbo Regal. I am sure it can be done, just need to fire ring the block to handle the massive amount of boost it will require for the 3800 to crank out the massive torque and hp required.

[@LR-my2di]

No-one uses the 3800 V-6 in a GN. There are numerous reasons why not.

[@charleslowe522]

Thankful for Mark Heppington, for endeavoring to tune cars like the Grand National. I am still using the stock ECM in my GN and because guys are able to burn specific tunes for us to support builds.
