Damn straight -- the turbo Buicks are real &quot;peaky&quot; and when you hammer them if you are not ready or not used to the turbo-lag it will get away from you in a heart beat. With that being said, take the young man out to a large open area (parking lot as an example) and let him get used to the feel of this beast. Just sayin' ...

Yup. They are 30 year old Eagle gt's. I am purchasing new repro ones. Ill contact smallhurst. Thanks. I was gonna get em from Summit who had the best price and no shipping cost
Our Son knows all about how to drive a GN. I brought back from the hospital when he was born in one. He totally respects the power and drives it like he should.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

You should really notice an improvement in ride and traction. We had 25 year old Eagle GT+4's we replaced with the repro Eagle GT's and were surprised at the difference.

Beautiful GN. Save those old tires to stay with the car. Store in black garbage bags.

Frank that is Absolutly Gorgeous!! Has the car been repainted or is that the factory Dispersion Lacquer?
Most of the GN and GNX's had a terrible finish from the factory. I remember stripping and repainting a bunch
of them due to customer complaints to GM. I miss my GNX but I do not miss trying to keep it Clean...
