The First Buick Grand National as produced in a limited run in 1982 in a very limited run. Not all were Turbocharged. They were carbureted and not nearly as quick as their later Brothers. When they resumed production in 1984, they were light years ahead in technology with the introduction of Sequential Fuel Injection as well as Turbocharged and every essentially controlled by the cars ECM (Electronic Control Module). This made them much more fuel efficient and much quicker as well as greener.
In 1985 these cars pretty much remained unchanged. When they can back in 1986, they sit the Street Racing and Drag Racing world on its ear! They were very much underrated at 245 HP and 355 Ft LBs of Torque. They essentially set the new standard for what would prove to be the quickest production cars in both years. This included all the Italian cars as well as the Corvette which in folklore that is what ended the Buicks Reign as the King of the Hill. There seemed to be an unspoken rule that no car should shame the Corvette. Well, it did many times over.
On the same token you had the T-Types and T Package cars in 1987that had the exact same drivetrain as the Grand National but we available in colors other than black.
The GNX well that was a totally different story.
I hope you found this informative!

Buick started this whole deal with the Turbo Buick back in 1976 with the 1976 Century Indy Pace Car which was a 231 V6 Indy Pace Car that out accelerated the Buick 455 from 90 to 110 mph! 8-) shortly thereafter the Turbo V6 ended up in Buick production as "Hotair" turbos (no intercooler) and culminated in 1986 and 1987 as the "BadBoy" intercooled Buick Grand Nationals with the 1987 being the fastest US production car for 1987. Then Pontiac used the Buick Turbo V6 in the 1989 Trans Am. And let's not forget the awesome 1987 GNX...LOL.
