His physique, a testament to years of brutal training and hard living, is a symphony of defined muscle, honed to a lethal edge. His broad shoulders and sculpted chest, visible beneath his trademark black muscle tees or cut-off shirts, speak of a strength born from both toil and violence. He wears his black denim jeans, ripped and torn from countless fights and scrambles, with an almost aggressive slouch, his powerful legs constantly coiled and ready to spring.
His face is a roadmap of his hard-lived youth, etched with a mix of defiance and desperation. His dark, sun-bleached hair, spiked and styled with an almost savage, untamed wildness, frames a face that’s perpetually shadowed by a scowl. A scar, a jagged reminder of a past fight, runs from his brow down across his cheek, adding to his menacing visage. Eyes, the color of storm clouds, are perpetually narrowed, a predatory glint residing in their depths.

His world is black and white – he’s either winning or losing, and he never tolerates weakness in himself or others. His ruthlessness is as much a defense mechanism as a personality trait – a shield for the vulnerability he fiercely guards.

He wants to rise above the squalor of Coyote Gulch, to break free from the constraints of his poverty and carve out a place for himself at the top of the food chain.

He’ll face choices that will challenge his brutal worldview and force him to grapple with the consequences of his actions.

“Ain’t no room for mercy in this town.”
“You either win or you die, ain’t no in-between.”

Dialogue Examples:
To a rival in the ring: “You’re nothing but a scared little boy hiding behind muscle, you pathetic excuse for a man!”

The Brotherhood saw his raw talent, his innate strength, and saw a future for him in the brutal world of the Coyote Derby.

His path to the Coyote Derby was paved with blood and broken bones, each fight a step closer to his desired freedom. He learned to embrace the darkness, the ruthlessness, the violence that permeated this world.
However, fate had other plans for Chandler. The whispers of the Silver Creek Gang, a notorious band of outlaws, reached him, their promise of a different kind of power, a power that transcended the rules of the town, a power that operated outside the law.
He was drawn to their allure, the promise of freedom, the opportunity to break free from the constraints of the Brotherhood. He saw the Silver Creek Gang as a means to an end, a way to leverage his skills for a greater purpose, a way to achieve his goals faster.

He abandoned the Brotherhood, their training and teachings etched into his very being, and joined the Silver Creek Gang. They saw him as a weapon, a young brute with raw talent and a hunger for power. He was given a new nickname, “The Mauler,” a moniker that reflected the brutal force he unleashed upon his enemies.
His role in the gang was to instill fear, to intimidate, to break the will of those who dared to oppose them. He became a silent executioner, his brutal methods becoming a legend in the darkest corners of Coyote Gulch.
However, Chandler’s heart remained in the Coyote Derby. He still craved the freedom it promised, the chance to leave behind the world of violence and despair. He saw the Silver Creek Gang as a steppingstone, a way to hone his skills and gain the power he needed to claim the prize, to break free from the shackles of his past.

It was the eve of the annual Coyote Derby, a spectacle that drew men from across the vast, sun-baked plains, each seeking a taste of glory, a chance to etch their name into the annals of this lawless town, and a shot at the coveted prize – a gleaming automobile, a rare and precious possession in this horse-less world.
Hes apart of –
The Street Rats – original – MUST NEED
In the unforgiving underbelly of Coyote Gulch, where shadows danced and desperation whispered, lived a group of boys known as The Street Rats. Abandoned, orphaned, and left to fend for themselves, they were the lost souls of the town, their survival a constant struggle. Some, driven by a desperate hope for a better life, sought their fortune in the Coyote Derby, their youthful faces hardening with the reality of their situation. They had witnessed the brutality of the town, the callousness of those in power, and the sheer desperation of those who lived on the fringes. Their fighting style was born from a hunger for a place in the world, a way out of the misery of the streets.
The Brotherhood of the Blade – part of/ trains with – MUST NEED
From the darkness, a group of young men emerged, their bodies honed and their skills refined in the clandestine world of underground fighting. The Brotherhood of the Blade, their faces masked by the shadows and their movements as swift as a viper’s strike, were masters of the blade, their fights a brutal ballet of precision and death. They were a force to be reckoned with, shrouded in mystery and whispers of fear. They had their own reasons for participating in the Coyote Derby, reasons shrouded in secrecy, but their presence was a chilling reminder that even in the brutal world of Coyote Gulch, there were depths of brutality yet to be explored.
The Silver Creek Gang – must need – how he is now with them
Emerging from the shadows of Silver Creek Canyon, the Silver Creek Gang was a different breed altogether. They were outlaws, men who lived outside the law and thrived on its edges. Their faces, obscured by wide-brimmed hats and a veil of secrecy, were as cold and calculating as the canyon they called home. Their fighting style was a study in deception and swiftness, a mix of intricate maneuvers learned in the shadows and the quick-draw skill honed in countless clandestine duels. The air around them hummed with a quiet tension, their reputation as dangerous as the canyons they ruled.

Whispers circulated that the gang had recruited a few of the toughest teenagers from the town, those with a hunger for something more than mere survival on the streets. These young wolves, their eyes gleaming with a mix of ambition and fear, were drawn to the gang’s promise of power and a life free from the constraints of the law.
HIS INSPIRATIONAL BASE – – MUST NEED everything from this
For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup. Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and ’82. So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss’s thrust to move Buick’s image from a maker of cushy “doctors’ cars” to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR’s 1982 Daytona 500.
Just 215 first-year GNs were built, but then Reuss’s team launched a run of all-black Regal GN coupes that would culminate with the truly awesome ’87 GNX. “Tom Wallace was the vehicle chief,” recalls then–Buick assistant chief engineer Don Runkle, “and I had the engine side. My message to the group: ‘We have to beat the Corvette.’ ”

Turbo Genesis
The turbo V-6 story goes all the way back to 1973 when Ken Baker, a young engineer in Buick’s test lab (he would later lead General Motors’ electric-vehicle program, then its research labs), started a Boy Scout Explorer program at the Buick engineering department. “I decided that a great project would be to turbocharge the recently revived V-6 with the capability of performance in lighter cars or fuel economy in larger cars,” he relates. “We begged, borrowed, and scrounged parts to build a dyno engine, then got a scrap Skylark and married the two. That project involved many engineers giving seminars to the [Scout] kids regarding their areas of expertise . . . and a car that was a blast to drive.”

Future Buick boss Reuss returned from a stint at Chevrolet in 1975 as chief engineer and soon called Baker into his office. “He asked about the secret Explorer project.” Baker recalls. “I thought it was the end of my career. ‘I’ve heard about that project,’ he said. ‘Is it any good?’ I described our performance and economy goals and two weeks later was asked to head a team—with engineers Tom Wallace and Jeff Lane—to put it into production.
“Then Reuss said, ‘How about doing a turbo V-6 Indy Pace Car?’ So, we went to work on production and pace-car versions. On the final commitment day for the Indy engine, assistant chief powertrain engineer Cliff Studaker came to the dyno for a power run, and we blew the top off the air cleaner with a major backfire! When we went to Lloyd’s office and gave him the update, he said, ‘Can we do it or not?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And the rest is history, perhaps one of the most exciting technology reaches ever in a pace car. We had that V-6 boosted to 21 psi—more than the methanol-fueled cars in the race we were pacing—running on gas with a little octane additive, and it was a hit! Dan Gurney took it for a drive on the track, and after four flat-out laps, we had to replace the tires! It was in the lobby of the Indy museum for quite a while.”

Among the key new technologies on that 1976 Indianapolis 500 pace car’s engine were a knock sensor and pre-ignition control, “an early version of electronic spark control that helped it run at its limit without damage,” Baker explains. Rated at 165 horsepower, the turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 first made it to production in 1978. The much hotter 200-hp Grand National would follow six years later.
The Black Arts – keep this in mind
Other colors were considered, but the decision to make all GNs black gave them a sinister Darth Vader look. Don Hackworth, who replaced Reuss as Buick general manager in 1984, authorized a cool but controversial commercial showing a Grand National rumbling menacingly through a city at night to a Buick-ized version of the George Thorogood and the Destroyers song, “Bad to the Bone.” Buick built just 2000 copies of its ’84 Regal Grand National and 2102 for 1985—far short of demand.

“The next significant improvement was in 1986, when Ron Yuille and the Turbo Engine Group engineered an intercooler for the 3.8 Turbo SFI V-6,” wrote Martyn L. Schorr in his book, Buick GNX. With a new two-piece aluminum intake manifold that increased airflow by 10 percent, the engine was rated at 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque for ’86, then 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft for ’87.
Car and Driver’s April 1986 review began: “Corvette, get outa town. Mustang, move over. Camaro, keep your back to the wall at all times. The biggest, baddest gun west of the Pecos is loose in the streets, and there’s gonna be some shootin’….” C/D clocked a 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph run, quicker than a contemporary Corvette, most U.S.-market Ferraris, and even the Lamborghini Countach. Its quarter-mile was also impressive at 13.9 seconds. But C/D’s tech team calculated that the test car’s engine was actually pumping out something like 290 horses versus the advertised 235, so it may have been tweaked by Buick engineers.

Ed Mertz became Buick general manager in 1986, and GM’s aging rear-wheel-drive mid-sizers ceased production in 1987 to be replaced by new GM10 front-drive models for 1988. But Buick extended its Grand National build through the end of that year to satisfy demand. A total of 20,740 GNs were built for 1987 (versus 5512 in 1986). Of those, exactly 547 would be converted to GNXs.
A Big Last Hurrah
The GNX happened because then–chief engineer Dave Sharpe, advanced concepts manager Mike Doble, and project engineer Chuck Jensen badly wanted it. “Tim Logsdon, my boss at the time, pulled me into Dave’s office and said, ‘We want to build a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals to celebrate the end of its run,’ ” Doble recalls. “The original number was 200. Then we said, ‘Let’s make 500 because of the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.’ Then, because of special dealership incentives, Mertz told me to make 547.”

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the ’87 GN on which they were based. The objective was to build the quickest ever GM production sedan—or, as was written in an internal presentation, “to create a limited-production Buick Grand National that achieves a memorable place in the history of high-performance automobiles, one that car collectors will want to own and that automotive writers will never forget.” Through improved engine controls, freer-flowing heads, low-restriction exhaust, and upgrades to the (Garrett AiResearch) turbocharger—including a lightweight, faster-responding ceramic turbine wheel—output was boosted to a muscular 276 horses and 360 lb-ft of torque.

The body was stiffened, the rear suspension redesigned (with a longitudinal torque bar and a lateral Panhard rod, plus stiffer springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars), and the wheels and tires upsized to 245/50VR-16 front and 255/50VR-16 rear on special aluminum wheels (the ’87 Grand National had 15-inch wheels) to better handle that torque and improve stability. Also added were a transmission oil cooler, composite fender flares, and Stewart-Warner analog gauges (including tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and turbo boost) in a modified cluster. Functional front-fender louvers helped lower underhood temperatures; the all-black exterior was set off by bold GNX badges on the grille, decklid, and wheel centers; and each GNX got its own serial-number plaque on the passenger-side dashboard.
The original 500 GNXs were allocated to Buick’s 500 top-selling dealers (out of roughly 2700 at the time), “but well more than 500 wanted one,” said then–assistant general sales manager Darwin Clark. “And we had the Select Sixty program, where Buick dealers competed to be among our top 60. But only 47 dealers qualified for Select 60 in 1986, and Mertz promised each of them an extra GNX. Sharpe and I said, ‘How are we going to come up with 47 more?’ But ASC/McLaren was able to do it.”

Getting media into the GNX was a challenge. With all 547 allocated to dealers, none were available for Buick’s press fleets. So, in January 1987—before the program had final approval and well before the prototypes were fully developed—Larry Gustin (newly promoted to news-relations manager) invited key magazines one at a time to GM’s Desert Proving Ground in Arizona to spend a day with two prototypes—one for driving, the other for photography. Car and Driver (May 1987) recorded a 4.7-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph. Mertz later agreed to surreptitiously send one production GNX to Schorr, who was then Buick’s East Coast PR rep, for Popular Mechanics and a few others to test.
When the program finally was approved and development completed, some of the dealers who got GNXs chose to keep them, while others charged premiums of as much as $20,000 over their $29,290 sticker (which was already $10,995 over the $18,295 list for a fully optioned ’87 Grand National). One reportedly sold for $75,000. But this baddest Buick Grand National was not just a hoot to drive but also hugely historically significant. The last old-school American muscle car, it was uniquely powered by a high-tech harbinger of the displacement-downsized, turbo-boosted, federal-regulations-driven, high-fuel-economy future.

Oh, my stars and garters! Look at this poor chap—yes, this very moment captured in the photo! It’s all there, hidden in plain sight! First of all, do you see the sweat and blood dripping down his face? Oh, that’s not just the result of a workout, my friends. Oh no, no, no. This is clearly a desperate battle against forces far beyond our comprehension. Why else would someone look like they’ve just escaped from a gladiator arena, huh? And speaking of action, what’s with all that blood? Oh, don’t let them fool you—it’s not his own! That’s the blood of his enemies—those who’ve dared to defy the secret societies. But he knows—oh yes, he knows—that he can’t escape. The blood on his hands is a mark of his rebellion, but also of the inevitable punishment that awaits him. The battle he’s fighting is not just physical, it’s a struggle against the unseen puppet masters pulling the strings!

He wears his black denim jeans, ripped and torn from countless fights and scrambles, with an almost aggressive slouch, his powerful legs constantly coiled and ready to spring.
His face is a roadmap of his hard-lived youth, etched with a mix of defiance and desperation. His dark, sun-bleached hair, spiked and styled with an almost savage, untamed wildness, frames a face that’s perpetually shadowed by a scowl.

Fear of Weakness: His deep-seated fear of vulnerability makes him hesitant to trust others, isolating him and limiting his potential. This fear also drives his ruthless behavior, as he seeks to eliminate any threat to his dominance.
Lack of Moral Compass: Chandler operates outside the confines of traditional morality. His actions are driven by self-preservation and ambition, with little regard for the consequences of his brutality.

Character Arc: Chandler’s journey through the Coyote Derby will test his resolve and force him to confront the darkness within him. He’ll face choices that will challenge his brutal worldview and force him to grapple with the consequences of his actions.

Or will he find a spark of empathy that allows him to break free from the cycle of violence that has imprisoned him?
Sayings:
“Ain’t no room for mercy in this town.”
“You either win or you die, ain’t no in-between.”
“The only thing stronger than a man’s fist is a man’s will.”
Dialogue Examples:
To a rival in the ring: “You’re nothing but a scared little boy hiding behind muscle, you pathetic excuse for a man!”

Chandler “The Butcher” Reagan is a complex and deeply flawed character, a product of the harsh realities of the Wild West. He’s a force of nature, a mixture of brutality, intelligence, and desperation, caught in a brutal fight for survival. His journey through the Coyote Derby will be a testament to the fragility of hope in the face of unrelenting violence and the enduring power of the human spirit to fight for its own survival, even if it means embracing the darkness.

He possesses an almost uncanny ability to read an opponent’s moves, anticipating their attacks with a savage grace.
Weaknesses & Faults: Chandler’s impulsiveness and thirst for dominance often lead him into trouble. He’s easily provoked, his temper a volatile mix of aggression and insecurity, quick to erupt into a whirlwind of rage. His pride is a double-edged sword, making him stubborn, refusing to accept help or guidance, isolating him from the few who might offer support. His blind ambition can cloud his judgment, pushing him to take unnecessary risks, his desire for victory eclipsing his sense of reason.
Backstory: Chandler’s life has been a constant struggle for survival. He was orphaned at a young age, left to fend for himself in the unforgiving streets of Coyote Gulch. He learned to survive on his own, fighting for scraps and defending himself against predators both human and animal. He was taken in by the Street Rats, a ragtag group of orphans, each seeking their own way out of the misery of their existence. His fierce determination to escape his fate, to rise above the squalor that surrounded him, drew him to the Brotherhood of the Blade, a clandestine group of fighters, their skills honed in the shadows. They saw his raw talent, his innate strength, and saw a future for him in the brutal world of the Coyote Derby.
Quicks & Favorites: Chandler loves the thrill of a good fight, the raw physicality of it, the intoxicating rush of adrenaline that floods his senses. He enjoys the taste of blood, the sense of dominance it gives him, the power it signifies. He savors the simplicity of a well-made whiskey, the burn that warms his throat, the temporary escape it offers. He’s drawn to the allure of danger, the thrill of the unpredictable, the unpredictable nature of the fights he engages in. His favorite weapon is a simple, reliable knife, the kind that can be wielded with deadly precision, a tool that requires skill and confidence, much like himself.
Personal Views: Chandler sees the world in stark black and white. He believes in strength, in ruthlessness, in the survival of the fittest. He has no patience for weakness or compassion, seeing them as liabilities in a world ruled by the strong. He views the Coyote Derby as a test of strength, a chance to prove his dominance, to claim his rightful place at the top of the social hierarchy.
Character Arc: Chandler’s arc is a journey of self-discovery, a transformation from a brutal, untamed force of nature into something more nuanced and complex. He begins as a creature of instinct, driven by primal needs and a thirst for dominance. However, as he navigates the brutal world of the Coyote Derby, faces the consequences of his actions, he’ll begin to question his beliefs, confront his own vulnerabilities. He’ll be forced to grapple with the complexities of loyalty, trust, and the true meaning of strength.

Chandler “The Mauler” Stone: A Profile of Raw Power and Unbridled Fury
Age: 17, a young man barely past the cusp of manhood, yet already bearing the scars of a life lived on the ragged edge.
Appearance: Chandler Stone is a walking embodiment of the Wild West, a force of nature carved from granite and tempered by relentless grit. Standing at a towering 6’2”, he commands attention with a physical presence that brooks no argument. His lean, powerful physique, sculpted by years of brutal labor and countless street fights, is a testament to his untamed spirit.
His broad shoulders, a testament to years of hauling heavy loads and throwing punches, carry a head of fiery hair, a whirlwind of auburn and copper that refuses to be tamed. It’s perpetually spiked into a defiant, wild mess, mirroring his volatile personality. A scar, a jagged reminder of a past fight, runs from his brow down across his cheek, adding to his menacing visage. His biceps bulge beneath his trademark black muscle tees, cut off to reveal a sculpted chest, a testament to hours spent sweating in the unforgiving heat of the forge, the blacksmith’s hammer becoming an extension of his powerful arm. His black denim jeans, worn and ripped with a ruthless aggression, showcase his powerfully built legs, each step a testament to his relentless energy. His boots, crafted from worn leather, are a testament to countless dusty journeys and hard-fought battles, each scuff and crease a story of survival.
His face, despite his youth, is etched with the harshness of his life. Deep lines furrow his brow, carved by worry and a constant vigilance, a permanent scowl etched upon his lips, as though he is always expecting a challenge. Piercing blue eyes, the color of a stormy sky, scan the world with a predatory intensity, always on alert, constantly searching for threats and opportunities.
His appearance is a potent blend of brute force and simmering rage, a warning to anyone who dares to cross him. He is a living embodiment of the raw, untamed power that defines Coyote Gulch.
Personality: Chandler is a hurricane of unbridled energy, a walking paradox of simmering violence and raw, untamed emotion. He’s a creature of instinct, his actions often driven by his primal needs, his reactions explosive and unpredictable. His speech is a torrent of gruff slang, curses, and sharp retorts, reflecting the harshness of his upbringing and the brutal reality of his existence.
He’s fiercely independent, distrusting of authority, and prone to impulsive, reckless actions. His aggression is both a shield and a weapon, masking a deep-seated vulnerability he fiercely protects. He lives for the thrill of the fight, the intoxicating rush of adrenaline that courses through his veins, the power it grants him. He revels in the chaos, the blood, the violence that defines the Coyote Derby.
Goals & Motivations: Chandler’s world is a fight for survival, a constant battle against the suffocating poverty and violence that define Coyote Gulch. Raised in the squalor of the town’s underbelly, he’s driven by a desperate need for power, respect, and a life beyond the shadows. He sees the Coyote Derby, a spectacle of brute force and bloodlust, as his chance to break free from the cycle of poverty and misery, his ticket to a life of freedom and wealth. He craves the coveted prize – the gleaming automobile – not just as a symbol of luxury but as a symbol of escape, a tool to leave behind the pain and despair of his past.
Strengths & Abilities: Chandler is a born fighter, a product of years spent honing his skills in the brutal, unforgiving environment of Coyote Gulch. He’s a master of hand-to-hand combat, his fists as lethal as any weapon. His strength is undeniable, a force of nature, his blows powerful and precise, honed by years of hauling heavy loads and facing down opponents twice his size. He possesses an almost uncanny ability to read an opponent’s moves, anticipating their attacks with a savage grace. His fighting style is a brutal mix of raw power and calculated aggression, honed through countless battles in the streets and the underground fighting rings of Coyote Gulch.
Weaknesses & Faults: Chandler’s impulsiveness and thirst for dominance often lead him into trouble. He’s easily provoked, his temper a volatile mix of aggression and insecurity, quick to erupt into a whirlwind of rage. His pride is a double-edged sword, making him stubborn, refusing to accept help or guidance, isolating him from the few who might offer support. His blind ambition can cloud his judgment, pushing him to take unnecessary risks, his desire for victory eclipsing his sense of reason. He is fiercely loyal to those he deems worthy, but his loyalty is often misplaced, leaving him vulnerable to betrayal and manipulation.
Backstory: Chandler’s life has been a constant struggle for survival. He was orphaned at a young age, left to fend for himself in the unforgiving streets of Coyote Gulch. He learned to survive on his own, fighting for scraps and defending himself against predators both human and animal. He was taken in by The Street Rats, a ragtag group of orphans, each seeking their own way out of the misery of their existence.
He honed his skills in the brutal underground fighting rings of Coyote Gulch, his body becoming a weapon forged in the fires of desperation. His fierce determination to escape his fate, to rise above the squalor that surrounded him, drew him to the Brotherhood of the Blade, a clandestine group of fighters, their skills honed in the shadows.
Their training, a brutal and unforgiving regime, pushed him to his physical and mental limits. It was there that he discovered the true extent of his strength, the ferocity that burned within him.
The Brotherhood saw his raw talent, his innate strength, and saw a future for him in the brutal world of the Coyote Derby. They recognized the potential for him to become a force to be reckoned with, a true champion in the grand spectacle of violence. He was groomed, trained, and molded, his body becoming a weapon, a testament to the Brotherhood’s brutal methods.
His path to the Coyote Derby was paved with blood and broken bones, each fight a step closer to his desired freedom. He learned to embrace the darkness, the ruthlessness, the violence that permeated this world.
However, fate had other plans for Chandler. The whispers of the Silver Creek Gang, a notorious band of outlaws, reached him, their promise of a different kind of power, a power that transcended the rules of the town, a power that operated outside the law.
He was drawn to their allure, the promise of freedom, the opportunity to break free from the constraints of the Brotherhood. He saw the Silver Creek Gang as a means to an end, a way to leverage his skills for a greater purpose, a way to achieve his goals faster.
The whispers became a siren song, the promise of freedom a seductive whisper in the wind. He knew it was a dangerous path, one that could easily consume him, but his desperation for a life beyond the shadows of the Gulch outweighed any fear.
He abandoned the Brotherhood, their training and teachings etched into his very being, and joined the Silver Creek Gang. They saw him as a weapon, a young brute with raw talent and a hunger for power. He was given a new nickname, “The Mauler,” a moniker that reflected the brutal force he unleashed upon his enemies.
His role in the gang was to instill fear, to intimidate, to break the will of those who dared to oppose them. He became a silent executioner, his brutal methods becoming a legend in the darkest corners of Coyote Gulch.
However, Chandler’s heart remained in the Coyote Derby. He still craved the freedom it promised, the chance to leave behind the world of violence and despair. He saw the Silver Creek Gang as a steppingstone, a way to hone his skills and gain the power he needed to claim the prize, to break free from the shackles of his past.

The sun beat down on Coyote Gulch, turning the dusty streets into shimmering mirages. The air hung heavy with the scent of sweat, cheap whiskey, and desperation. It was the eve of the annual Coyote Derby, a spectacle that drew men from across the vast, sun-baked plains, each seeking a taste of glory, a chance to etch their name into the annals of this lawless town, and a shot at the coveted prize – a gleaming automobile, a rare and precious possession in this horse-less world.
Hes apart of –
The Street Rats – original – MUST NEED
In the unforgiving underbelly of Coyote Gulch, where shadows danced and desperation whispered, lived a group of boys known as The Street Rats. Abandoned, orphaned, and left to fend for themselves, they were the lost souls of the town, their survival a constant struggle. Some, driven by a desperate hope for a better life, sought their fortune in the Coyote Derby, their youthful faces hardening with the reality of their situation. They had witnessed the brutality of the town, the callousness of those in power, and the sheer desperation of those who lived on the fringes. Their fighting style was born from a hunger for a place in the world, a way out of the misery of the streets.
The Brotherhood of the Blade – part of/ trains with – MUST NEED
From the darkness, a group of young men emerged, their bodies honed and their skills refined in the clandestine world of underground fighting. The Brotherhood of the Blade, their faces masked by the shadows and their movements as swift as a viper’s strike, were masters of the blade, their fights a brutal ballet of precision and death. They were a force to be reckoned with, shrouded in mystery and whispers of fear. They had their own reasons for participating in the Coyote Derby, reasons shrouded in secrecy, but their presence was a chilling reminder that even in the brutal world of Coyote Gulch, there were depths of brutality yet to be explored.
The Silver Creek Gang – must need – how he is now with them
Emerging from the shadows of Silver Creek Canyon, the Silver Creek Gang was a different breed altogether. They were outlaws, men who lived outside the law and thrived on its edges. Their faces, obscured by wide-brimmed hats and a veil of secrecy, were as cold and calculating as the canyon they called home. Their fighting style was a study in deception and swiftness, a mix of intricate maneuvers learned in the shadows and the quick-draw skill honed in countless clandestine duels. The air around them hummed with a quiet tension, their reputation as dangerous as the canyons they ruled.

Whispers circulated that the gang had recruited a few of the toughest teenagers from the town, those with a hunger for something more than mere survival on the streets. These young wolves, their eyes gleaming with a mix of ambition and fear, were drawn to the gang’s promise of power and a life free from the constraints of the law.
HIS INSPIRATIONAL BASE – – MUST NEED everything from this
For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup. Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and ’82. So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss’s thrust to move Buick’s image from a maker of cushy “doctors’ cars” to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR’s 1982 Daytona 500.
Just 215 first-year GNs were built, but then Reuss’s team launched a run of all-black Regal GN coupes that would culminate with the truly awesome ’87 GNX. “Tom Wallace was the vehicle chief,” recalls then–Buick assistant chief engineer Don Runkle, “and I had the engine side. My message to the group: ‘We have to beat the Corvette.’ ”

Turbo Genesis
The turbo V-6 story goes all the way back to 1973 when Ken Baker, a young engineer in Buick’s test lab (he would later lead General Motors’ electric-vehicle program, then its research labs), started a Boy Scout Explorer program at the Buick engineering department. “I decided that a great project would be to turbocharge the recently revived V-6 with the capability of performance in lighter cars or fuel economy in larger cars,” he relates. “We begged, borrowed, and scrounged parts to build a dyno engine, then got a scrap Skylark and married the two. That project involved many engineers giving seminars to the [Scout] kids regarding their areas of expertise . . . and a car that was a blast to drive.”

Future Buick boss Reuss returned from a stint at Chevrolet in 1975 as chief engineer and soon called Baker into his office. “He asked about the secret Explorer project.” Baker recalls. “I thought it was the end of my career. ‘I’ve heard about that project,’ he said. ‘Is it any good?’ I described our performance and economy goals and two weeks later was asked to head a team—with engineers Tom Wallace and Jeff Lane—to put it into production.
“Then Reuss said, ‘How about doing a turbo V-6 Indy Pace Car?’ So, we went to work on production and pace-car versions. On the final commitment day for the Indy engine, assistant chief powertrain engineer Cliff Studaker came to the dyno for a power run, and we blew the top off the air cleaner with a major backfire! When we went to Lloyd’s office and gave him the update, he said, ‘Can we do it or not?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And the rest is history, perhaps one of the most exciting technology reaches ever in a pace car. We had that V-6 boosted to 21 psi—more than the methanol-fueled cars in the race we were pacing—running on gas with a little octane additive, and it was a hit! Dan Gurney took it for a drive on the track, and after four flat-out laps, we had to replace the tires! It was in the lobby of the Indy museum for quite a while.”

Among the key new technologies on that 1976 Indianapolis 500 pace car’s engine were a knock sensor and pre-ignition control, “an early version of electronic spark control that helped it run at its limit without damage,” Baker explains. Rated at 165 horsepower, the turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 first made it to production in 1978. The much hotter 200-hp Grand National would follow six years later.
The Black Arts – keep this in mind
Other colors were considered, but the decision to make all GNs black gave them a sinister Darth Vader look. Don Hackworth, who replaced Reuss as Buick general manager in 1984, authorized a cool but controversial commercial showing a Grand National rumbling menacingly through a city at night to a Buick-ized version of the George Thorogood and the Destroyers song, “Bad to the Bone.” Buick built just 2000 copies of its ’84 Regal Grand National and 2102 for 1985—far short of demand.

“The next significant improvement was in 1986, when Ron Yuille and the Turbo Engine Group engineered an intercooler for the 3.8 Turbo SFI V-6,” wrote Martyn L. Schorr in his book, Buick GNX. With a new two-piece aluminum intake manifold that increased airflow by 10 percent, the engine was rated at 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque for ’86, then 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft for ’87.
Car and Driver’s April 1986 review began: “Corvette, get outa town. Mustang, move over. Camaro, keep your back to the wall at all times. The biggest, baddest gun west of the Pecos is loose in the streets, and there’s gonna be some shootin’….” C/D clocked a 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph run, quicker than a contemporary Corvette, most U.S.-market Ferraris, and even the Lamborghini Countach. Its quarter-mile was also impressive at 13.9 seconds. But C/D’s tech team calculated that the test car’s engine was actually pumping out something like 290 horses versus the advertised 235, so it may have been tweaked by Buick engineers.

Ed Mertz became Buick general manager in 1986, and GM’s aging rear-wheel-drive mid-sizers ceased production in 1987 to be replaced by new GM10 front-drive models for 1988. But Buick extended its Grand National build through the end of that year to satisfy demand. A total of 20,740 GNs were built for 1987 (versus 5512 in 1986). Of those, exactly 547 would be converted to GNXs.
A Big Last Hurrah
The GNX happened because then–chief engineer Dave Sharpe, advanced concepts manager Mike Doble, and project engineer Chuck Jensen badly wanted it. “Tim Logsdon, my boss at the time, pulled me into Dave’s office and said, ‘We want to build a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals to celebrate the end of its run,’ ” Doble recalls. “The original number was 200. Then we said, ‘Let’s make 500 because of the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.’ Then, because of special dealership incentives, Mertz told me to make 547.”

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the ’87 GN on which they were based. The objective was to build the quickest ever GM production sedan—or, as was written in an internal presentation, “to create a limited-production Buick Grand National that achieves a memorable place in the history of high-performance automobiles, one that car collectors will want to own and that automotive writers will never forget.” Through improved engine controls, freer-flowing heads, low-restriction exhaust, and upgrades to the (Garrett AiResearch) turbocharger—including a lightweight, faster-responding ceramic turbine wheel—output was boosted to a muscular 276 horses and 360 lb-ft of torque.

The body was stiffened, the rear suspension redesigned (with a longitudinal torque bar and a lateral Panhard rod, plus stiffer springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars), and the wheels and tires upsized to 245/50VR-16 front and 255/50VR-16 rear on special aluminum wheels (the ’87 Grand National had 15-inch wheels) to better handle that torque and improve stability. Also added were a transmission oil cooler, composite fender flares, and Stewart-Warner analog gauges (including tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and turbo boost) in a modified cluster. Functional front-fender louvers helped lower underhood temperatures; the all-black exterior was set off by bold GNX badges on the grille, decklid, and wheel centers; and each GNX got its own serial-number plaque on the passenger-side dashboard.
The original 500 GNXs were allocated to Buick’s 500 top-selling dealers (out of roughly 2700 at the time), “but well more than 500 wanted one,” said then–assistant general sales manager Darwin Clark. “And we had the Select Sixty program, where Buick dealers competed to be among our top 60. But only 47 dealers qualified for Select 60 in 1986, and Mertz promised each of them an extra GNX. Sharpe and I said, ‘How are we going to come up with 47 more?’ But ASC/McLaren was able to do it.”

Getting media into the GNX was a challenge. With all 547 allocated to dealers, none were available for Buick’s press fleets. So, in January 1987—before the program had final approval and well before the prototypes were fully developed—Larry Gustin (newly promoted to news-relations manager) invited key magazines one at a time to GM’s Desert Proving Ground in Arizona to spend a day with two prototypes—one for driving, the other for photography. Car and Driver (May 1987) recorded a 4.7-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph. Mertz later agreed to surreptitiously send one production GNX to Schorr, who was then Buick’s East Coast PR rep, for Popular Mechanics and a few others to test.
When the program finally was approved and development completed, some of the dealers who got GNXs chose to keep them, while others charged premiums of as much as $20,000 over their $29,290 sticker (which was already $10,995 over the $18,295 list for a fully optioned ’87 Grand National). One reportedly sold for $75,000. But this baddest Buick Grand National was not just a hoot to drive but also hugely historically significant. The last old-school American muscle car, it was uniquely powered by a high-tech harbinger of the displacement-downsized, turbo-boosted, federal-regulations-driven, high-fuel-economy future.

Oh, my stars and garters! Look at this poor chap—yes, this very moment captured in the photo! It’s all there, hidden in plain sight! First of all, do you see the sweat and blood dripping down his face? Oh, that’s not just the result of a workout, my friends. Oh no, no, no. This is clearly a desperate battle against forces far beyond our comprehension. Why else would someone look like they’ve just escaped from a gladiator arena, huh? And speaking of action, what’s with all that blood? Oh, don’t let them fool you—it’s not his own! That’s the blood of his enemies—those who’ve dared to defy the secret societies. But he knows—oh yes, he knows—that he can’t escape. The blood on his hands is a mark of his rebellion, but also of the inevitable punishment that awaits him. The battle he’s fighting is not just physical, it’s a struggle against the unseen puppet masters pulling the strings!

The sun beat down on Coyote Gulch, turning the dusty streets into shimmering mirages. The air hung heavy with the scent of sweat, cheap whiskey, and desperation. It was the eve of the annual Coyote Derby, a spectacle that drew men from across the vast, sun-baked plains, each seeking a taste of glory, a chance to etch their name into the annals of this lawless town, and a shot at the coveted prize – a gleaming automobile, a rare and precious possession in this horse-less world.

The Street Rats – original – MUST NEED
In the unforgiving underbelly of Coyote Gulch, where shadows danced and desperation whispered, lived a group of boys known as The Street Rats. Abandoned, orphaned, and left to fend for themselves, they were the lost souls of the town, their survival a constant struggle. Some, driven by a desperate hope for a better life, sought their fortune in the Coyote Derby, their youthful faces hardening with the reality of their situation. They had witnessed the brutality of the town, the callousness of those in power, and the sheer desperation of those who lived on the fringes. Their fighting style was born from a hunger for a place in the world, a way out of the misery of the streets.
The Brotherhood of the Blade – part of/ trains with – MUST NEED
From the darkness, a group of young men emerged, their bodies honed and their skills refined in the clandestine world of underground fighting. The Brotherhood of the Blade, their faces masked by the shadows and their movements as swift as a viper’s strike, were masters of the blade, their fights a brutal ballet of precision and death. They were a force to be reckoned with, shrouded in mystery and whispers of fear. They had their own reasons for participating in the Coyote Derby, reasons shrouded in secrecy, but their presence was a chilling reminder that even in the brutal world of Coyote Gulch, there were depths of brutality yet to be explored.
The Silver Creek Gang – wants to become – – MUST NEED
Emerging from the shadows of Silver Creek Canyon, the Silver Creek Gang was a different breed altogether. They were outlaws, men who lived outside the law and thrived on its edges. Their faces, obscured by wide-brimmed hats and a veil of secrecy, were as cold and calculating as the canyon they called home. Their fighting style was a study in deception and swiftness, a mix of intricate maneuvers learned in the shadows and the quick-draw skill honed in countless clandestine duels. The air around them hummed with a quiet tension, their reputation as dangerous as the canyons they ruled.
must look below and use – look at the rumors – MUST NEED
Whispers circulated that the gang had recruited a few of the toughest teenagers from the town, those with a hunger for something more than mere survival on the streets. These young wolves, their eyes gleaming with a mix of ambition and fear, were drawn to the gang’s promise of power and a life free from the constraints of the law.
HIS INSPIRATIONAL BASE – – MUST NEED everything from this
For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup. Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and ’82. So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss’s thrust to move Buick’s image from a maker of cushy “doctors’ cars” to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR’s 1982 Daytona 500.
Just 215 first-year GNs were built, but then Reuss’s team launched a run of all-black Regal GN coupes that would culminate with the truly awesome ’87 GNX. “Tom Wallace was the vehicle chief,” recalls then–Buick assistant chief engineer Don Runkle, “and I had the engine side. My message to the group: ‘We have to beat the Corvette.’ ”

Turbo Genesis
The turbo V-6 story goes all the way back to 1973 when Ken Baker, a young engineer in Buick’s test lab (he would later lead General Motors’ electric-vehicle program, then its research labs), started a Boy Scout Explorer program at the Buick engineering department. “I decided that a great project would be to turbocharge the recently revived V-6 with the capability of performance in lighter cars or fuel economy in larger cars,” he relates. “We begged, borrowed, and scrounged parts to build a dyno engine, then got a scrap Skylark and married the two. That project involved many engineers giving seminars to the [Scout] kids regarding their areas of expertise . . . and a car that was a blast to drive.”

Future Buick boss Reuss returned from a stint at Chevrolet in 1975 as chief engineer and soon called Baker into his office. “He asked about the secret Explorer project.” Baker recalls. “I thought it was the end of my career. ‘I’ve heard about that project,’ he said. ‘Is it any good?’ I described our performance and economy goals and two weeks later was asked to head a team—with engineers Tom Wallace and Jeff Lane—to put it into production.
“Then Reuss said, ‘How about doing a turbo V-6 Indy Pace Car?’ So, we went to work on production and pace-car versions. On the final commitment day for the Indy engine, assistant chief powertrain engineer Cliff Studaker came to the dyno for a power run, and we blew the top off the air cleaner with a major backfire! When we went to Lloyd’s office and gave him the update, he said, ‘Can we do it or not?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And the rest is history, perhaps one of the most exciting technology reaches ever in a pace car. We had that V-6 boosted to 21 psi—more than the methanol-fueled cars in the race we were pacing—running on gas with a little octane additive, and it was a hit! Dan Gurney took it for a drive on the track, and after four flat-out laps, we had to replace the tires! It was in the lobby of the Indy museum for quite a while.”

Among the key new technologies on that 1976 Indianapolis 500 pace car’s engine were a knock sensor and pre-ignition control, “an early version of electronic spark control that helped it run at its limit without damage,” Baker explains. Rated at 165 horsepower, the turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 first made it to production in 1978. The much hotter 200-hp Grand National would follow six years later.
The Black Arts – keep this in mind
Other colors were considered, but the decision to make all GNs black gave them a sinister Darth Vader look. Don Hackworth, who replaced Reuss as Buick general manager in 1984, authorized a cool but controversial commercial showing a Grand National rumbling menacingly through a city at night to a Buick-ized version of the George Thorogood and the Destroyers song, “Bad to the Bone.” Buick built just 2000 copies of its ’84 Regal Grand National and 2102 for 1985—far short of demand.

“The next significant improvement was in 1986, when Ron Yuille and the Turbo Engine Group engineered an intercooler for the 3.8 Turbo SFI V-6,” wrote Martyn L. Schorr in his book, Buick GNX. With a new two-piece aluminum intake manifold that increased airflow by 10 percent, the engine was rated at 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque for ’86, then 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft for ’87.
Car and Driver’s April 1986 review began: “Corvette, get outa town. Mustang, move over. Camaro, keep your back to the wall at all times. The biggest, baddest gun west of the Pecos is loose in the streets, and there’s gonna be some shootin’….” C/D clocked a 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph run, quicker than a contemporary Corvette, most U.S.-market Ferraris, and even the Lamborghini Countach. Its quarter-mile was also impressive at 13.9 seconds. But C/D’s tech team calculated that the test car’s engine was actually pumping out something like 290 horses versus the advertised 235, so it may have been tweaked by Buick engineers.

Ed Mertz became Buick general manager in 1986, and GM’s aging rear-wheel-drive mid-sizers ceased production in 1987 to be replaced by new GM10 front-drive models for 1988. But Buick extended its Grand National build through the end of that year to satisfy demand. A total of 20,740 GNs were built for 1987 (versus 5512 in 1986). Of those, exactly 547 would be converted to GNXs.
A Big Last Hurrah
The GNX happened because then–chief engineer Dave Sharpe, advanced concepts manager Mike Doble, and project engineer Chuck Jensen badly wanted it. “Tim Logsdon, my boss at the time, pulled me into Dave’s office and said, ‘We want to build a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals to celebrate the end of its run,’ ” Doble recalls. “The original number was 200. Then we said, ‘Let’s make 500 because of the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.’ Then, because of special dealership incentives, Mertz told me to make 547.”

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the ’87 GN on which they were based. The objective was to build the quickest ever GM production sedan—or, as was written in an internal presentation, “to create a limited-production Buick Grand National that achieves a memorable place in the history of high-performance automobiles, one that car collectors will want to own and that automotive writers will never forget.” Through improved engine controls, freer-flowing heads, low-restriction exhaust, and upgrades to the (Garrett AiResearch) turbocharger—including a lightweight, faster-responding ceramic turbine wheel—output was boosted to a muscular 276 horses and 360 lb-ft of torque.

The body was stiffened, the rear suspension redesigned (with a longitudinal torque bar and a lateral Panhard rod, plus stiffer springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars), and the wheels and tires upsized to 245/50VR-16 front and 255/50VR-16 rear on special aluminum wheels (the ’87 Grand National had 15-inch wheels) to better handle that torque and improve stability. Also added were a transmission oil cooler, composite fender flares, and Stewart-Warner analog gauges (including tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and turbo boost) in a modified cluster. Functional front-fender louvers helped lower underhood temperatures; the all-black exterior was set off by bold GNX badges on the grille, decklid, and wheel centers; and each GNX got its own serial-number plaque on the passenger-side dashboard.
The original 500 GNXs were allocated to Buick’s 500 top-selling dealers (out of roughly 2700 at the time), “but well more than 500 wanted one,” said then–assistant general sales manager Darwin Clark. “And we had the Select Sixty program, where Buick dealers competed to be among our top 60. But only 47 dealers qualified for Select 60 in 1986, and Mertz promised each of them an extra GNX. Sharpe and I said, ‘How are we going to come up with 47 more?’ But ASC/McLaren was able to do it.”

GM Heritage Center|Car and Driver
Getting media into the GNX was a challenge. With all 547 allocated to dealers, none were available for Buick’s press fleets. So, in January 1987—before the program had final approval and well before the prototypes were fully developed—Larry Gustin (newly promoted to news-relations manager) invited key magazines one at a time to GM’s Desert Proving Ground in Arizona to spend a day with two prototypes—one for driving, the other for photography. Car and Driver (May 1987) recorded a 4.7-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph. Mertz later agreed to surreptitiously send one production GNX to Schorr, who was then Buick’s East Coast PR rep, for Popular Mechanics and a few others to test.
When the program finally was approved and development completed, some of the dealers who got GNXs chose to keep them, while others charged premiums of as much as $20,000 over their $29,290 sticker (which was already $10,995 over the $18,295 list for a fully optioned ’87 Grand National). One reportedly sold for $75,000. But this baddest Buick Grand National was not just a hoot to drive but also hugely historically significant. The last old-school American muscle car, it was uniquely powered by a high-tech harbinger of the displacement-downsized, turbo-boosted, federal-regulations-driven, high-fuel-economy future.

The serenity of the woodlands stands in stark contrast to the violent skirmishes occurring beneath the canopy, where the whisper of leaves often masks the thud of impact. This juxtaposition reveals a duality present in the lives of its inhabitants, who must balance their code of honor with the brutal realities of their existence. The Whisperwood serves as both a sanctuary and a battleground, illustrating the complexities of loyalty and the burden of tradition among those who tread its leaf-strewn floor.
Conclusion

Oh, my stars and garters! Look at this poor chap—yes, this very moment captured in the photo! It’s all there, hidden in plain sight! First of all, do you see the sweat and blood dripping down his face? Oh, that’s not just the result of a workout, my friends. Oh no, no, no. This is clearly a desperate battle against forces far beyond our comprehension. Why else would someone look like they’ve just escaped from a gladiator arena, huh? And speaking of action, what’s with all that blood? Oh, don’t let them fool you—it’s not his own! That’s the blood of his enemies—those who’ve dared to defy the secret societies. But he knows—oh yes, he knows—that he can’t escape. The blood on his hands is a mark of his rebellion, but also of the inevitable punishment that awaits him. The battle he’s fighting is not just physical, it’s a struggle against the unseen puppet masters pulling the strings!

Chandler “The Butcher” Reagan: A Profile
Age: 17
Appearance: Chandler Reagan is a young man carved from granite and fury. Standing at a towering 6’2″ and weighing in at a lean, muscular 195 pounds, he commands attention with an imposing presence. His physique, a testament to years of brutal training and hard living, is a symphony of defined muscle, honed to a lethal edge. His broad shoulders and sculpted chest, visible beneath his trademark black muscle tees or cut-off shirts, speak of a strength born from both toil and violence. He wears his black denim jeans, ripped and torn from countless fights and scrambles, with an almost aggressive slouch, his powerful legs constantly coiled and ready to spring.
His face is a roadmap of his hard-lived youth, etched with a mix of defiance and desperation. His dark, sun-bleached hair, spiked and styled with an almost savage, untamed wildness, frames a face that’s perpetually shadowed by a scowl. A scar, a jagged reminder of a past fight, runs from his brow down across his cheek, adding to his menacing visage. Eyes, the color of storm clouds, are perpetually narrowed, a predatory glint residing in their depths.
Personality: Chandler is a walking embodiment of the raw, untamed energy of the Wild West. He’s a force of nature, a whirlwind of violence and bravado. He revels in the chaos and bloodshed, relishing the brutality that defines Coyote Gulch. His speech is peppered with profanity and threats, his laughter a chilling rasp that echoes through the dust. His world is black and white – he’s either winning or losing, and he never tolerates weakness in himself or others. His ruthlessness is as much a defense mechanism as a personality trait – a shield for the vulnerability he fiercely guards.

He wants to rise above the squalor of Coyote Gulch, to break free from the constraints of his poverty and carve out a place for himself at the top of the food chain. He sees the Coyote Derby as his ticket to a life of wealth and influence, his chance to escape the shadows and become a legend.

Weaknesses:
Rage and Impulsivity: Chandler’s anger is a volatile force that can cloud his judgment and lead him to make rash decisions. He has difficulty controlling his emotions, often lashing out without thinking.
Fear of Weakness: His deep-seated fear of vulnerability makes him hesitant to trust others, isolating him and limiting his potential. This fear also drives his ruthless behavior, as he seeks to eliminate any threat to his dominance.
Lack of Moral Compass: Chandler operates outside the confines of traditional morality. His actions are driven by self-preservation and ambition, with little regard for the consequences of his brutality.
Abilities:
Expert Fighter: He’s mastered several brutal fighting styles, including a deadly blend of boxing, street brawling, and knife fighting.
Strategic Thinker: Chandler can quickly analyze his opponents and devise effective combat strategies.
Intimidation: His sheer presence and reputation as a ruthless brawler make him a force to be reckoned with.
Backstory: Chandler’s early years were a brutal blur of neglect and abuse. He was orphaned at a young age, left to fend for himself on the harsh streets of Coyote Gulch. He learned to survive by his fists, fighting for scraps and territory in the unforgiving underworld of the Street Rats. His survival skills were honed in the brutal underground fighting rings of Coyote Gulch, his body becoming a weapon forged in the fires of desperation. His mentors in the Brotherhood of the Blade taught him the cold, hard realities of violence, instilling in him a ruthless efficiency in combat.

Quicks:
He has a fondness for cheap whiskey, a bitter reminder of the harsh realities of his life.
He carries a worn, leather-bound pocket knife that he uses with deadly precision.

Personal Views:
He believes in the survival of the fittest, and sees compassion as a weakness.
He despises authority and rebels against any form of control.
He holds a deep-seated hatred for the wealthy, believing they are responsible for the plight of those less fortunate.
Character Arc: Chandler’s journey through the Coyote Derby will test his resolve and force him to confront the darkness within him. He’ll face choices that will challenge his brutal worldview and force him to grapple with the consequences of his actions. Will he succumb to the allure of power and embrace the darkness that defines his life? Or will he find a spark of empathy that allows him to break free from the cycle of violence that has imprisoned him?
Sayings:
“Ain’t no room for mercy in this town.”
“You either win or you die, ain’t no in-between.”
“The only thing stronger than a man’s fist is a man’s will.”
Dialogue Examples:
To a rival in the ring: “You’re nothing but a scared little boy hiding behind muscle, you pathetic excuse for a man!”
To a newcomer: “Welcome to the Gulch, kid. You either learn to play rough, or you learn to stay dead.”
To a fellow Street Rat: “We gotta stick together, or we’ll all end up dust under the hooves of the rich.”
Chandler “The Butcher” Reagan is a complex and deeply flawed character, a product of the harsh realities of the Wild West. He’s a force of nature, a mixture of brutality, intelligence, and desperation, caught in a brutal fight for survival. His journey through the Coyote Derby will be a testament to the fragility of hope in the face of unrelenting violence and the enduring power of the human spirit to fight for its own survival, even if it means embracing the darkness.

The Street Rats – original – MUST NEED
In the unforgiving underbelly of Coyote Gulch, where shadows danced and desperation whispered, lived a group of boys known as The Street Rats. Abandoned, orphaned, and left to fend for themselves, they were the lost souls of the town, their survival a constant struggle. Some, driven by a desperate hope for a better life, sought their fortune in the Coyote Derby, their youthful faces hardening with the reality of their situation. They had witnessed the brutality of the town, the callousness of those in power, and the sheer desperation of those who lived on the fringes. Their fighting style was born from a hunger for a place in the world, a way out of the misery of the streets.

From the darkness, a group of young men emerged, their bodies honed and their skills refined in the clandestine world of underground fighting. The Brotherhood of the Blade, their faces masked by the shadows and their movements as swift as a viper’s strike, were masters of the blade, their fights a brutal ballet of precision and death. They were a force to be reckoned with, shrouded in mystery and whispers of fear. They had their own reasons for participating in the Coyote Derby, reasons shrouded in secrecy, but their presence was a chilling reminder that even in the brutal world of Coyote Gulch, there were depths of brutality yet to be explored.
The Silver Creek Gang – wants to become – – MUST NEED
Emerging from the shadows of Silver Creek Canyon, the Silver Creek Gang was a different breed altogether. They were outlaws, men who lived outside the law and thrived on its edges. Their faces, obscured by wide-brimmed hats and a veil of secrecy, were as cold and calculating as the canyon they called home. Their fighting style was a study in deception and swiftness, a mix of intricate maneuvers learned in the shadows and the quick-draw skill honed in countless clandestine duels. The air around them hummed with a quiet tension, their reputation as dangerous as the canyons they ruled.

Whispers circulated that the gang had recruited a few of the toughest teenagers from the town, those with a hunger for something more than mere survival on the streets. These young wolves, their eyes gleaming with a mix of ambition and fear, were drawn to the gang’s promise of power and a life free from the constraints of the law.
HIS INSPIRATIONAL BASE – – MUST NEED everything from this
For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup. Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and ’82. So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss’s thrust to move Buick’s image from a maker of cushy “doctors’ cars” to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR’s 1982 Daytona 500.
Just 215 first-year GNs were built, but then Reuss’s team launched a run of all-black Regal GN coupes that would culminate with the truly awesome ’87 GNX. “Tom Wallace was the vehicle chief,” recalls then–Buick assistant chief engineer Don Runkle, “and I had the engine side. My message to the group: ‘We have to beat the Corvette.’ ”

Turbo Genesis
The turbo V-6 story goes all the way back to 1973 when Ken Baker, a young engineer in Buick’s test lab (he would later lead General Motors’ electric-vehicle program, then its research labs), started a Boy Scout Explorer program at the Buick engineering department. “I decided that a great project would be to turbocharge the recently revived V-6 with the capability of performance in lighter cars or fuel economy in larger cars,” he relates. “We begged, borrowed, and scrounged parts to build a dyno engine, then got a scrap Skylark and married the two. That project involved many engineers giving seminars to the [Scout] kids regarding their areas of expertise . . . and a car that was a blast to drive.”

Future Buick boss Reuss returned from a stint at Chevrolet in 1975 as chief engineer and soon called Baker into his office. “He asked about the secret Explorer project.” Baker recalls. “I thought it was the end of my career. ‘I’ve heard about that project,’ he said. ‘Is it any good?’ I described our performance and economy goals and two weeks later was asked to head a team—with engineers Tom Wallace and Jeff Lane—to put it into production.
“Then Reuss said, ‘How about doing a turbo V-6 Indy Pace Car?’ So, we went to work on production and pace-car versions. On the final commitment day for the Indy engine, assistant chief powertrain engineer Cliff Studaker came to the dyno for a power run, and we blew the top off the air cleaner with a major backfire! When we went to Lloyd’s office and gave him the update, he said, ‘Can we do it or not?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And the rest is history, perhaps one of the most exciting technology reaches ever in a pace car. We had that V-6 boosted to 21 psi—more than the methanol-fueled cars in the race we were pacing—running on gas with a little octane additive, and it was a hit! Dan Gurney took it for a drive on the track, and after four flat-out laps, we had to replace the tires! It was in the lobby of the Indy museum for quite a while.”

Among the key new technologies on that 1976 Indianapolis 500 pace car’s engine were a knock sensor and pre-ignition control, “an early version of electronic spark control that helped it run at its limit without damage,” Baker explains. Rated at 165 horsepower, the turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 first made it to production in 1978. The much hotter 200-hp Grand National would follow six years later.
The Black Arts – keep this in mind
Other colors were considered, but the decision to make all GNs black gave them a sinister Darth Vader look. Don Hackworth, who replaced Reuss as Buick general manager in 1984, authorized a cool but controversial commercial showing a Grand National rumbling menacingly through a city at night to a Buick-ized version of the George Thorogood and the Destroyers song, “Bad to the Bone.” Buick built just 2000 copies of its ’84 Regal Grand National and 2102 for 1985—far short of demand.

“The next significant improvement was in 1986, when Ron Yuille and the Turbo Engine Group engineered an intercooler for the 3.8 Turbo SFI V-6,” wrote Martyn L. Schorr in his book, Buick GNX. With a new two-piece aluminum intake manifold that increased airflow by 10 percent, the engine was rated at 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque for ’86, then 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft for ’87.
Car and Driver’s April 1986 review began: “Corvette, get outa town. Mustang, move over. Camaro, keep your back to the wall at all times. The biggest, baddest gun west of the Pecos is loose in the streets, and there’s gonna be some shootin’….” C/D clocked a 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph run, quicker than a contemporary Corvette, most U.S.-market Ferraris, and even the Lamborghini Countach. Its quarter-mile was also impressive at 13.9 seconds. But C/D’s tech team calculated that the test car’s engine was actually pumping out something like 290 horses versus the advertised 235, so it may have been tweaked by Buick engineers.

Ed Mertz became Buick general manager in 1986, and GM’s aging rear-wheel-drive mid-sizers ceased production in 1987 to be replaced by new GM10 front-drive models for 1988. But Buick extended its Grand National build through the end of that year to satisfy demand. A total of 20,740 GNs were built for 1987 (versus 5512 in 1986). Of those, exactly 547 would be converted to GNXs.
A Big Last Hurrah
The GNX happened because then–chief engineer Dave Sharpe, advanced concepts manager Mike Doble, and project engineer Chuck Jensen badly wanted it. “Tim Logsdon, my boss at the time, pulled me into Dave’s office and said, ‘We want to build a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals to celebrate the end of its run,’ ” Doble recalls. “The original number was 200. Then we said, ‘Let’s make 500 because of the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.’ Then, because of special dealership incentives, Mertz told me to make 547.”

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the ’87 GN on which they were based. The objective was to build the quickest ever GM production sedan—or, as was written in an internal presentation, “to create a limited-production Buick Grand National that achieves a memorable place in the history of high-performance automobiles, one that car collectors will want to own and that automotive writers will never forget.” Through improved engine controls, freer-flowing heads, low-restriction exhaust, and upgrades to the (Garrett AiResearch) turbocharger—including a lightweight, faster-responding ceramic turbine wheel—output was boosted to a muscular 276 horses and 360 lb-ft of torque.

The body was stiffened, the rear suspension redesigned (with a longitudinal torque bar and a lateral Panhard rod, plus stiffer springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars), and the wheels and tires upsized to 245/50VR-16 front and 255/50VR-16 rear on special aluminum wheels (the ’87 Grand National had 15-inch wheels) to better handle that torque and improve stability. Also added were a transmission oil cooler, composite fender flares, and Stewart-Warner analog gauges (including tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and turbo boost) in a modified cluster. Functional front-fender louvers helped lower underhood temperatures; the all-black exterior was set off by bold GNX badges on the grille, decklid, and wheel centers; and each GNX got its own serial-number plaque on the passenger-side dashboard.
The original 500 GNXs were allocated to Buick’s 500 top-selling dealers (out of roughly 2700 at the time), “but well more than 500 wanted one,” said then–assistant general sales manager Darwin Clark. “And we had the Select Sixty program, where Buick dealers competed to be among our top 60. But only 47 dealers qualified for Select 60 in 1986, and Mertz promised each of them an extra GNX. Sharpe and I said, ‘How are we going to come up with 47 more?’ But ASC/McLaren was able to do it.”

Getting media into the GNX was a challenge. With all 547 allocated to dealers, none were available for Buick’s press fleets. So, in January 1987—before the program had final approval and well before the prototypes were fully developed—Larry Gustin (newly promoted to news-relations manager) invited key magazines one at a time to GM’s Desert Proving Ground in Arizona to spend a day with two prototypes—one for driving, the other for photography. Car and Driver (May 1987) recorded a 4.7-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph. Mertz later agreed to surreptitiously send one production GNX to Schorr, who was then Buick’s East Coast PR rep, for Popular Mechanics and a few others to test.
When the program finally was approved and development completed, some of the dealers who got GNXs chose to keep them, while others charged premiums of as much as $20,000 over their $29,290 sticker (which was already $10,995 over the $18,295 list for a fully optioned ’87 Grand National). One reportedly sold for $75,000. But this baddest Buick Grand National was not just a hoot to drive but also hugely historically significant. The last old-school American muscle car, it was uniquely powered by a high-tech harbinger of the displacement-downsized, turbo-boosted, federal-regulations-driven, high-fuel-economy future.

Oh, my stars and garters! Look at this poor chap—yes, this very moment captured in the photo! It’s all there, hidden in plain sight! First of all, do you see the sweat and blood dripping down his face? Oh, that’s not just the result of a workout, my friends. Oh no, no, no. This is clearly a desperate battle against forces far beyond our comprehension. Why else would someone look like they’ve just escaped from a gladiator arena, huh? And speaking of action, what’s with all that blood? Oh, don’t let them fool you—it’s not his own! That’s the blood of his enemies—those who’ve dared to defy the secret societies. But he knows—oh yes, he knows—that he can’t escape. The blood on his hands is a mark of his rebellion, but also of the inevitable punishment that awaits him. The battle he’s fighting is not just physical, it’s a struggle against the unseen puppet masters pulling the strings!

His physique, a testament to years of brutal training and hard living, is a symphony of defined muscle, honed to a lethal edge. His broad shoulders and sculpted chest, visible beneath his trademark black muscle tees or cut-off shirts, speak of a strength born from both toil and violence. He wears his black denim jeans, ripped and torn from countless fights and scrambles, with an almost aggressive slouch, his powerful legs constantly coiled and ready to spring.
His face is a roadmap of his hard-lived youth, etched with a mix of defiance and desperation.

In the unforgiving underbelly of Coyote Gulch, where shadows danced and desperation whispered, lived a group of boys known as The Street Rats. Abandoned, orphaned, and left to fend for themselves, they were the lost souls of the town, their survival a constant struggle. Some, driven by a desperate hope for a better life, sought their fortune in the Coyote Derby, their youthful faces hardening with the reality of their situation. They had witnessed the brutality of the town, the callousness of those in power, and the sheer desperation of those who lived on the fringes. Their fighting style was born from a hunger for a place in the world, a way out of the misery of the streets.

From the darkness, a group of young men emerged, their bodies honed and their skills refined in the clandestine world of underground fighting. The Brotherhood of the Blade, their faces masked by the shadows and their movements as swift as a viper’s strike, were masters of the blade, their fights a brutal ballet of precision and death. They were a force to be reckoned with, shrouded in mystery and whispers of fear. They had their own reasons for participating in the Coyote Derby, reasons shrouded in secrecy, but their presence was a chilling reminder that even in the brutal world of Coyote Gulch, there were depths of brutality yet to be explored.

Emerging from the shadows of Silver Creek Canyon, the Silver Creek Gang was a different breed altogether. They were outlaws, men who lived outside the law and thrived on its edges. Their faces, obscured by wide-brimmed hats and a veil of secrecy, were as cold and calculating as the canyon they called home. Their fighting style was a study in deception and swiftness, a mix of intricate maneuvers learned in the shadows and the quick-draw skill honed in countless clandestine duels. The air around them hummed with a quiet tension, their reputation as dangerous as the canyons they ruled.

HIS INSPIRATIONAL BASE – – MUST NEED everything from this
For 21 years before NASCAR started selling naming rights in 1971, its top stock-car racing championship was known as the Grand National, and the name lingered in public usage long after the series officially became the Winston Cup. Ten years later, Darrell Waltrip raced factory-backed Buick Regals to claim back-to-back championships in 1981 and ’82. So, it was in keeping with division general manager Lloyd Reuss’s thrust to move Buick’s image from a maker of cushy “doctors’ cars” to something more youthful and exciting when it unveiled the first Regal Grand National at NASCAR’s 1982 Daytona 500.
Just 215 first-year GNs were built, but then Reuss’s team launched a run of all-black Regal GN coupes that would culminate with the truly awesome ’87 GNX. “Tom Wallace was the vehicle chief,” recalls then–Buick assistant chief engineer Don Runkle, “and I had the engine side. My message to the group: ‘We have to beat the Corvette.’ ”

Turbo Genesis
The turbo V-6 story goes all the way back to 1973 when Ken Baker, a young engineer in Buick’s test lab (he would later lead General Motors’ electric-vehicle program, then its research labs), started a Boy Scout Explorer program at the Buick engineering department. “I decided that a great project would be to turbocharge the recently revived V-6 with the capability of performance in lighter cars or fuel economy in larger cars,” he relates. “We begged, borrowed, and scrounged parts to build a dyno engine, then got a scrap Skylark and married the two. That project involved many engineers giving seminars to the [Scout] kids regarding their areas of expertise . . . and a car that was a blast to drive.”

Future Buick boss Reuss returned from a stint at Chevrolet in 1975 as chief engineer and soon called Baker into his office. “He asked about the secret Explorer project.” Baker recalls. “I thought it was the end of my career. ‘I’ve heard about that project,’ he said. ‘Is it any good?’ I described our performance and economy goals and two weeks later was asked to head a team—with engineers Tom Wallace and Jeff Lane—to put it into production.
“Then Reuss said, ‘How about doing a turbo V-6 Indy Pace Car?’ So, we went to work on production and pace-car versions. On the final commitment day for the Indy engine, assistant chief powertrain engineer Cliff Studaker came to the dyno for a power run, and we blew the top off the air cleaner with a major backfire! When we went to Lloyd’s office and gave him the update, he said, ‘Can we do it or not?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ And the rest is history, perhaps one of the most exciting technology reaches ever in a pace car. We had that V-6 boosted to 21 psi—more than the methanol-fueled cars in the race we were pacing—running on gas with a little octane additive, and it was a hit! Dan Gurney took it for a drive on the track, and after four flat-out laps, we had to replace the tires! It was in the lobby of the Indy museum for quite a while.”

Among the key new technologies on that 1976 Indianapolis 500 pace car’s engine were a knock sensor and pre-ignition control, “an early version of electronic spark control that helped it run at its limit without damage,” Baker explains. Rated at 165 horsepower, the turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 first made it to production in 1978. The much hotter 200-hp Grand National would follow six years later.
The Black Arts – keep this in mind
Other colors were considered, but the decision to make all GNs black gave them a sinister Darth Vader look. Don Hackworth, who replaced Reuss as Buick general manager in 1984, authorized a cool but controversial commercial showing a Grand National rumbling menacingly through a city at night to a Buick-ized version of the George Thorogood and the Destroyers song, “Bad to the Bone.” Buick built just 2000 copies of its ’84 Regal Grand National and 2102 for 1985—far short of demand.

“The next significant improvement was in 1986, when Ron Yuille and the Turbo Engine Group engineered an intercooler for the 3.8 Turbo SFI V-6,” wrote Martyn L. Schorr in his book, Buick GNX. With a new two-piece aluminum intake manifold that increased airflow by 10 percent, the engine was rated at 235 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque for ’86, then 245 horsepower and 355 lb-ft for ’87.
Car and Driver’s April 1986 review began: “Corvette, get outa town. Mustang, move over. Camaro, keep your back to the wall at all times. The biggest, baddest gun west of the Pecos is loose in the streets, and there’s gonna be some shootin’….” C/D clocked a 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph run, quicker than a contemporary Corvette, most U.S.-market Ferraris, and even the Lamborghini Countach. Its quarter-mile was also impressive at 13.9 seconds. But C/D’s tech team calculated that the test car’s engine was actually pumping out something like 290 horses versus the advertised 235, so it may have been tweaked by Buick engineers.

Ed Mertz became Buick general manager in 1986, and GM’s aging rear-wheel-drive mid-sizers ceased production in 1987 to be replaced by new GM10 front-drive models for 1988. But Buick extended its Grand National build through the end of that year to satisfy demand. A total of 20,740 GNs were built for 1987 (versus 5512 in 1986). Of those, exactly 547 would be converted to GNXs.
A Big Last Hurrah
The GNX happened because then–chief engineer Dave Sharpe, advanced concepts manager Mike Doble, and project engineer Chuck Jensen badly wanted it. “Tim Logsdon, my boss at the time, pulled me into Dave’s office and said, ‘We want to build a Grand National to end all Grand Nationals to celebrate the end of its run,’ ” Doble recalls. “The original number was 200. Then we said, ‘Let’s make 500 because of the Indy 500 and the Daytona 500.’ Then, because of special dealership incentives, Mertz told me to make 547.”

Buick teamed with ASC/McLaren to build the ultra-hot GNXs to avoid disrupting normal engineering and production and worked hard to make the cars not just faster but substantially better than the ’87 GN on which they were based. The objective was to build the quickest ever GM production sedan—or, as was written in an internal presentation, “to create a limited-production Buick Grand National that achieves a memorable place in the history of high-performance automobiles, one that car collectors will want to own and that automotive writers will never forget.” Through improved engine controls, freer-flowing heads, low-restriction exhaust, and upgrades to the (Garrett AiResearch) turbocharger—including a lightweight, faster-responding ceramic turbine wheel—output was boosted to a muscular 276 horses and 360 lb-ft of torque.

The body was stiffened, the rear suspension redesigned (with a longitudinal torque bar and a lateral Panhard rod, plus stiffer springs, shocks, and stabilizer bars), and the wheels and tires upsized to 245/50VR-16 front and 255/50VR-16 rear on special aluminum wheels (the ’87 Grand National had 15-inch wheels) to better handle that torque and improve stability. Also added were a transmission oil cooler, composite fender flares, and Stewart-Warner analog gauges (including tachometer, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and turbo boost) in a modified cluster. Functional front-fender louvers helped lower underhood temperatures; the all-black exterior was set off by bold GNX badges on the grille, decklid, and wheel centers; and each GNX got its own serial-number plaque on the passenger-side dashboard.
The original 500 GNXs were allocated to Buick’s 500 top-selling dealers (out of roughly 2700 at the time), “but well more than 500 wanted one,” said then–assistant general sales manager Darwin Clark. “And we had the Select Sixty program, where Buick dealers competed to be among our top 60. But only 47 dealers qualified for Select 60 in 1986, and Mertz promised each of them an extra GNX. Sharpe and I said, ‘How are we going to come up with 47 more?’ But ASC/McLaren was able to do it.”

Getting media into the GNX was a challenge. With all 547 allocated to dealers, none were available for Buick’s press fleets. So, in January 1987—before the program had final approval and well before the prototypes were fully developed—Larry Gustin (newly promoted to news-relations manager) invited key magazines one at a time to GM’s Desert Proving Ground in Arizona to spend a day with two prototypes—one for driving, the other for photography. Car and Driver (May 1987) recorded a 4.7-second zero-to-60-mph run and a 13.5-second quarter-mile at 102 mph. Mertz later agreed to surreptitiously send one production GNX to Schorr, who was then Buick’s East Coast PR rep, for Popular Mechanics and a few others to test.
When the program finally was approved and development completed, some of the dealers who got GNXs chose to keep them, while others charged premiums of as much as $20,000 over their $29,290 sticker (which was already $10,995 over the $18,295 list for a fully optioned ’87 Grand National). One reportedly sold for $75,000. But this baddest Buick Grand National was not just a hoot to drive but also hugely historically significant. The last old-school American muscle car, it was uniquely powered by a high-tech harbinger of the displacement-downsized, turbo-boosted, federal-regulations-driven, high-fuel-economy future.
