CSR2 Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National Best Tune & Setup
Updated: September 15, 2026
Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National has arrived in CSR2 as part of the Fast & Furious content introduced with update 6.7.0, bringing one of Dom's most recognizable old-school cars back into the spotlight.
More importantly for current CSR2 progression, the Buick Grand National is officially included in the lock-in pool for Crew's Code: Chapter II - Dominant, running from September 15 through September 26, 2026. The event ultimately leads toward the Dom Toretto's Dodge Ice Charger prize car.
This guide covers the current Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National tune, PP/EVO reference values, how to reproduce the setup, event relevance, tuning notes, and what to check before spending additional Stage 6 or fusion parts.

Best Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National Tune
For the build shown, enter the following values exactly:
Nitrous
188 BHP / 4.0 seconds. The NOS slider is pushed toward the longer-duration side rather than maximizing peak BHP. That gives us 188 / 4.0.
Final Drive
2.00. Set the transmission slider to Final Drive 2.00. This is positioned toward the long-gearing side of the available transmission range.
Tire Pressure
0 ACC / 100 GRIP. The tire screen displays 8 PSI with the full balance going toward 100 GRIP. So the tune can also be written in the standard CSR2 shorthand as Tires: 0/100.
Quick Copy Tune
Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National
- NOS: 188 / 4.0
- Final Drive: 2.00
- Tires: 0 / 100
- Tire Pressure: 8 PSI
- Reference PP: 713
- Reference EVO: +2575
This is the configuration you should reproduce before comparing your dyno or test-run results.
Important: Match PP and EVO Before Comparing Times
The tune numbers alone are not enough. The supplied car is showing PP 713 and EVO +2575. Those are useful checkpoints.
If you enter 188 / 4.0, 2.00 and 0 / 100 but your EVO is significantly different, your vehicle is probably not configured identically. Possible reasons include missing fusion parts, missing Stage 6 upgrades, a different upgrade state, or future balancing changes to the car.
For accurate comparisons, always check PP + EVO + tune together.
Fastest Tune for Dom Toretto's Grand National in CSR Racing 2
The world-record time for this exact Dom Toretto version, on the tune above, is 6.69x.
| Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National | WR reference |
|---|---|
| WR time | 6.69x |
| Nitrous | 188 / 4.0 |
| Final Drive | 2.00 |
| Tires | 0 / 100 |
| PP / EVO | 713 / +2575 |
That distinction matters because CSR2 already contains other Buick Grand National variants with similar-looking tuning values. Those cars should not be mixed into this guide: the time above belongs to Dom Toretto's car at 713 PP / +2575 EVO.
Shift Pattern for the WR Time (6.69x)
Perfect Launch, immediately shift to 2nd, then NOS, and the rest are perfect shifts.
- Perfect Launch.
- Immediately shift to 2nd.
- Hit NOS right after the shift to 2nd.
- Every remaining shift is a perfect shift.
Run it exactly like that with the tune above and a matching PP/EVO build; if your EVO differs, match the build first before chasing the time.
Why Full Grip Matters
The current setup uses 0 ACC / 100 GRIP, which corresponds to 8 PSI in the supplied tire screen. In practical CSR2 tuning terms, this moves the tire setup completely toward grip rather than acceleration bias.
The important point is not simply "8 PSI". The value to remember when reproducing the tune is 0 / 100, because that is the standardized CSR2 tune representation and remains easier to compare between screenshots, videos and guide pages.
Why Final Drive 2.00?
The supplied tune uses a 2.00 final-drive ratio, pushing the transmission toward longer gearing.
CSR2 cars can react very differently to final-drive changes. A lower ratio can significantly alter acceleration through the early gears, shift spacing, top-end behavior, dyno prediction and the effectiveness of NOS timing.
For this Buick, do not begin experimenting with the transmission until you first test the 2.00 baseline. Even moving the slider slightly can change the EVO value.
Why NOS 188 / 4.0?
The current optimized configuration uses 188 BHP for 4.0 seconds.
Rather than treating NOS as "more power is always better", CSR2 tuning balances power and duration. The correct objective is not necessarily the highest BHP number visible on the slider. The objective is the combination that produces the strongest overall quarter-mile or half-mile performance for the car's gearing and shift pattern.
For this Grand National setup, that reference point is 188 / 4.0.
Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National in Crew's Code: Chapter II - Dominant
The timing of this guide is important because the car is directly relevant to the current Fast & Furious event.
CSR2 officially lists Buick_GrandNationalF4_1987 among the lock-ins for Crew's Code: Chapter II - Dominant + Victory Lap II. The event runs September 15, 2026 to September 26, 2026 and its headline prize is Dom Toretto's Dodge Ice Charger.
The other officially announced lock-ins include Dom Toretto's Dodge Charger R/T HEMI and Dom Toretto's Plymouth Road Runner.
That makes the Grand National more than a new collector car: it has immediate progression value.
CSR2 6.7.0 Introduces Dom's Buick Grand National
The Grand National is also officially listed among the new cars introduced in CSR2 update 6.7.0, alongside the Dodge Charger Scat Pack, Ferrari 296 Speciale, Jaguar XJR-15, Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car, BMW M3 GTR, RUF CTR 3 Evo and several others.
For Fast & Furious collectors, however, the Buick is one of the more recognizable additions because of its connection to Dom.
The Buick Grand National in Fast & Furious
Dom's black Buick is based around the 1987 Buick Grand National associated with the opening sequence of Fast & Furious (2009).
The car appears during the Dominican Republic fuel-tanker operation, immediately establishing the fourth movie's return to the original crew and street-racing atmosphere. Contemporary coverage of the movie cars identifies the 1987 Grand National/GNX-style Buick as Dom's vehicle in that opening sequence.
That connection explains why the CSR2 version fits naturally into Crew's Code: the car represents the older, rawer side of Dom's garage rather than another exotic or modern supercar.
Grand National vs Other CSR2 Buick Variants
Do not confuse Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National with previously released CSR2 Buicks such as the Roadster Shop Grand National, Ringbrothers GNX / Grand National builds, or other custom Buick event cars.
They can have different PP values, EVO values, Stage 6 behavior and race times. Some older Grand National variants coincidentally use tunes close to 188/4.0, 2.00 and 0/100, but that does not make them the same CSR2 car.
For SEO and player accuracy, this page should always identify the car specifically as Dom Toretto's Buick Grand National rather than simply "Buick Grand National CSR2 tune". The shorter phrase can still be targeted as a secondary keyword.
How to Tune the Buick Grand National in CSR2
Open the car and enter the Tune menu after your upgrades are installed.
- Start with nitrous and set it to 188 BHP / 4.0 sec.
- Move to transmission: Final Drive 2.00.
- Then open tires: 0 ACC / 100 GRIP, 8 PSI.
Return to the main tune screen and check whether the car reports approximately 713 PP / +2575 EVO. If it does, you are matching the reference setup. If not, inspect your upgrade and fusion configuration before changing the tune.
Do You Need All Stage 6 Parts?
For general event progression, not necessarily. A CSR2 event car does not automatically need every Stage 6 part just because a maximum-performance tune exists.
If Chapter II only requires a slower target time than your current car can already run, further upgrades may simply waste cash and fusion parts.
A sensible progression strategy is: build, tune, dyno, race, upgrade only when necessary. Save your most difficult Buick fusion parts or universal resources until the event actually requires them.
Fusion Parts
Buick fusion inventory can become a bottleneck because players generally have fewer Buick cars in their garage than manufacturers such as Ford, Chevrolet, Porsche or Ferrari. That means Epic Buick fusions can become disproportionately valuable during an event lock-in.
If the Grand National already clears the current races, do not automatically fill every remaining Epic slot purely to make the car look complete.
The fastest car is useful. The car that wins the event without draining the rest of your garage is more useful.
Should You Build Dom's Grand National for Chapter II?
If you intend to complete Crew's Code: Chapter II - Dominant, the answer depends on your other eligible lock-ins. The official pool includes the Grand National, Dom's Plymouth Road Runner and Dom's Dodge Charger R/T HEMI.
Compare the cars you already own. A fully or heavily upgraded existing Fast & Furious car may be cheaper to use than building the Buick from zero.
On the other hand, if you specifically want Dom's new 6.7.0 Grand National, Chapter II gives the car immediate practical value rather than leaving it as a garage collectible.
