Part of me would rather have the GN than the T-type. The only real reason is because of the name. I would soooo look forward to all the morons at car shows wanting to argue with me about how it's fake. I also would love to have two stock '86 Grand Nationals in my garage which only have about 3 parts in common lmao. However, I really only want it as an accessory to my Regal GN and that is a piss-poor snooty rich man's reason to buy a car. lol
I've seen a few people go cross-eyed when I tell them it means "Touring" or that "Grand National" is essentially just a trim package. lol They don't like that.
In the G-bodies it was a handling package. You could get a T-type with a 307 Oldsmobile.
Sorta kinda. Only the '87 T was offered with a 307, and I don't really count '87 in the "rules" because it was a wild west do whatever you have to do to get rid of these parts year. The 307 option on the T as well as turbo Limiteds were only offered because of the line shutting down. Until then, the T-type was the handling and turbo engine package. WE2 (Grand National) was just the appearance package you could add to that. On any GN title from '84-'86, it'll be listed as a Regal T-type. On an '82, it's just a Regal. LeSabre GN is just a LeSabre which also has the WE2 RPO. IIRC, the LeSabre GN doesn't even have the full FE3 suspension like the T-type which is the tiny 112 car exception that rules the WE2 a trim package. I believe the reason for "Grand National" becoming it's own model on the title in '87 is due the Buick wanting to keep it pure. They didn't want some bone head walking into a dealer and ordering a 307 Grand National and tainting the name. Otherwise, it probably would have happened.
