The car I sold my first Harley for :
I had it and the Olds for a year. The Olds had more power down low, but the Formula would out run it in a 1/4. Olds got 13MPG, Formula got 23.
My best time in the Formula was 13.74 @ 102 tho I usually ran 13.9 @ 101. I never ran the Olds. |

Okinawan, and I also used to have a '75 Malibu that would show your GNX it's tail lights(427 Bored .06" over, 12:1s, rectangle port heads, Crower roller cam, manual valve body T400, 4.88s/Ford 9", etc...) And yes, for the behemouth it was, it could still turn a corner pretty well for it's day, having 275/60-15s on 8" corvette ralleys with koni shocks, herb adams springs and sway bars. One of these days, I'll have to find a pic of it.
But what you should rephrase is...
"the gnx will STILL smoke em all.and i happen to have one"
to
"MY gnx will STILL smoke em all.and i happen to have IT"  |

Steve at the age of 18 you had 30 grand for a GNX.I know that your name had to be on one before you took delivery.They only made 547 of them.Ran just shy of 12's out of the box.I have a friend that has number 2 in production.The car at this time has less then a 100 miles on it and he has had it since new.The only reason he got it then was his family owned a pontiac/Saab dealership. |

Why is it everyone's dad has a 63 split-window, 454 SS pickup and AC cobra. You'd think someone would be original. |

Jeez,can't talk about anything around here anymore,first politics and religion,now it's down to cars.
Take a deep breath,folks,and go for a ride.
And there is always gonna be a faster car than yours,unless your name is John Force.So for the sake of peace here keep the bragging about mine's faster than yours or my dads ,etc to yourself.Thanks. |

Diabetes from soda??? M1 how about if you have Diabetes you shouldn't drink soda.Diabetes in alot of cases is inherited.Or if you are over weight and don't take care of yourself and don't watch what you eat you can be at risk. |
