This one runs 12.20s on radials, has leather, gets 28 mpgs, and 50,000 original miles



And this is just sexy to me...



I just can't compare that to THIS and not chuckle, but its ENTIRELY personal preference...

Re: A VERY tough decision to make... READ

that one on top is a regal t-type right? it's a shame the pontiac GTP's don't use turbo's, turbo 3800 is much better than a s/c one. with all the muscle(ish) cars making a come back i think it'd be awesome if there were a reintroduction of the buick regal w/ grand national package.




honestly, i'd feel priveleged to own any of the cars listed, aside from the neon.

Re: A VERY tough decision to make... READ

I would say
1. WS6
2. GN
3. Supra

I really don't care for the looks of the VR4. WS6 is fastest of the bunch and the GN is second in looks. Plus it is highly modifiable.

The GN is one of the coolest looking cars I've ever seen, and it'd be really cool to own one. My only complaints about it are the lack of a manual tranny and the difficulty of finding them, not to mention the price you pay for them.

Actually, the first one pictured was only modified with a different wastegate to provide two more psi and larger injectors. The second one was lowered, but otherwise stock. You can check them out at www.gnttype.org . Those GNs ran low 13s straight from the showroom, and all it takes to break into the high 12s is sticky tires. They beat my 96 Impala SS. Ask me how I know

I'm not comparing highly modified vehicles, I'm saying they perform that way stock or with very little modification. Add on to that they were a corporate "accident" during a time when the most power you could get in a Corvette was 200. I find that to be some impressive stuff.

You are entitled to your opinion, I just wanted to clarify mine.

I love the G-bodies for their sharp lines. That's a nice GT, by the way. Is that yours? Hard to tell from the Avatar if they're the same. Those GTs remind me of the Porsche 359 Rally cars of the 90s.

Re: A VERY tough decision to make... READ

I would try to get a Regal T-type instead of a GN. It's more of a sleeper than the GN is. These can sometimes be hard to come by however. My second choice would be the WS6, they just look mean.

I would by far get the WS6 if I were you.
They're very fast, not too expensive, and they look great.

My next pick would be the supra though

that one is a 99, mine is a 92.

now i dont know much abou the gn, but i know there's a gn and then a gnp or something like that thats a tad bit faster than the regular ones. because i raced a regular gn and wasnt much of a fight. but hypsi, told me about the gn...something, that is a faster version

And a seriously fine example of just such a GNX... This is truly worth the "buy it now" price.
