Featured Car - Art Paltz's 1987 Grand National |

|
Art's pride and joy only has 17,000 original miles on the clock and has gone as quick as 12.19 @ 115 MPH on P235/60 BFG Drag Radials on STOCK rims, pump gas and alcohol injection! This run was at 23 psi of boost with a traction limited 1.81 short time through the full exhaust system. With that sort of MPH, Art is definitely in the high 11s with better traction.
Art has installed air bags and the big ATR rear sway bar and has since run some 1.68 short times. Art's GN isn't a "lightweight" by anyone's standard, weighing a whopping 3885 lbs with driver! This car was a "show room" car at Aamon Buick in Rahway, NJ. It was in the window long after production of the Turbo Regals was ceased, due to the fact that "having it in the window continued to draw people in". Art showed up the day after it had been removed from the window, put a down payment on it on the spot, and then drove his new baby home the next week. The picture above was taken shortly after Art bought it ... notice the raised letter tires and missing hood emblems (they were knocked off during the polishing for delivery prep)... they were replaced a few weeks later.
