That's an awesome car! When did you get it? It's so clean (as always with your cars), and I especially love the wheels. Droooolll.

I'd like to see a set of 18" CCW Classics. Black face and polished lip. Tha'd be HOT!

No good video...it was raining when Cecilia was trying to help me and I couldnt do any acceleration videos when I was by myself because it takes both hands to drive it! lol

Thank god it was converted to cold air cause the 84-85s were turds. BAdass GN now though easy high 10 second car.

BTW stock gears were 3.42s not 3.23s. And thank GN for one of the best stock rears ever put in a GM vehicle.

Also the cutout should always stay open, i think they sound like crap closed lol

Your right its 3.42s. And as for the sound...I will have to get a inside the car pull video posted so you can hear the turbo. When that thing spools up the exhaust sound doesnt matter!!!

Those wheels are the CCWs of the GN community....I like the lace GNX style wheels better but it takes 17s to clear the Corvette brakes.

I can only keep so many............
