1980 Buick Century Turbo Coupe. Same turbo 3.8 mill as the Regal GNX.
Also featuring the same engine: The 1978 LeSabre Turbo Sport Coupe
Is it wrong if I like both of these far more than the Regal GNX?

I want the GMC Cyclone.

Proper order:
1. GNX
2. GN
3. T-Type
4. LeSabre
5. Century

That century is beyond ugly.

Different motor, 4.3L.

But bro, carbs, shittier turbo, and not intercooled. Both of those are hot, though. Not nearly GNX hot, but pretty sweet.

Those are things that can be fixed.

I’m partial to the later Lesabre T-Type, despite the FWDness.

Was it really with an S? Didn’t know. Or the Dodge Dakota Convertible.

I know it’s got a different motor. But since we were talking about boosted GM cars........

I’m outraged... nah, just kidding. Most people just assume it’s the same motor. The Firebird GTA did have the 3.8 though.

That’s assuming you can find either of these cars, though, which is pretty much impossible.

The Firebird GTA had an off center hood scoop. And that made it even more awesome. I may be thinking of the wrong car though.

those are nice looking cars - nice solid, clean lines. High school buddy’s dad had a red one, (but the windshield leaked like a sieve... GM quality in the day wasn’t fabulous..)

That’s a Turbo Trans Am (turbo V8) which was pretty anemic but gorgeous, this is a GTA:
