GN's ARE bad ***. One of the easier cars to get in the 9's....

A good buddy of mine is a GN fanatic. He owns 4 of them, all running mid 10's or faster. His quickest car is a 9.80 car, and he drives it to work everyday

My boss picked one up with 56k miles on it and the paint was nasty. He brought the car down to the metal and then just layered that baby with loads of black paint. Then one evening just as it was getting dark at the shop, I look outside and see him pulling into the parking lot with just the parking lamps on and I was in awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Then the next day I made him get on the grand nat'l and boy did those tire crinkle.

I believe that GN has a twin turbo Small block in it, not the original 6.

There is a GN club here, I think the quickest they have made ~1000 rwhp on the dyno. 3.8L single turbo setup.
