I had a buddy who had one of those Grand Nationals.
I recall it was black, had a cool orange logo and was very fast, as you say.
I’m pretty sure it was based on a Buick Regal
I also remember being behind him on the expressway when he decided to nail it and got himself a huge POP! with some multi-colored smoke for his trouble.

Most forced-inductions have some sort of pressure relief systems to prevent damaging explosions.
There was a very limited special version of the Grand National called the GNX that had a lighter, ceramic impeller in the turbo.
My boss got a regular Regal with the turbo V6, last year that engine was available.
Very nice car, I was not around to find out what happened to the car at 60,000 miles
