You guys do realize the GNX is not the Grand National, but rather, a much more powerful and much more rare version only made during the last production year, right?

Yes they do, which is why they talk about it instead of the GN.  It's that much cooler.

Yes.

I've seen one here and there. There are a bunch of Grand Nationals around my hometown. My brother's friend owns one. But I think I've only ever seen one or two GNXs in person.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Would you be saying the same thing if IROC stayed with 911s?   :lol:

Which is why I'd take a GNX, not a wimpy Grand National. :ohyeah:

Yes, because of the retards who were rockin them in the 80s.

Spikey headed greasy teenaged douchbag pretenders who mostly bought the automatic.

The only reason there was an IROC Camaro is because the IROC series started using the Camaro.  In the 70's the IROC series used 911s.

Yeah, but those spikey headed greasy teenaged douchbag pretenders (sticking with that, couldn't have said it better myself!  Thanks, hounddog :lol:) likely couldn't have afforded the 911, nor wanted a furrin car, so the 911's honor remained intact.

After you wake up with the sun at 6am on someone's floor, coughing up cigarette butts and tasting like warm beer, you may well change your opinion on this matter.

Old-er, yes.

I even remember when they switched to Daytonas for the IROC series.

That was a sad, sad day even if the Daytona Shelby-Z was cool.  ish.

The Shelby-Z? 

With Ts it was quite nifty.  One of the guys I played at MSU with had a brand new black one with gold racing strips and gold wheels.  Sounds cheesy, but it was actually pretty cool looking.  Wish I could find a pic of one.

We had more fun in that thing.

I lost a bet by not believing that Dodge made a K-car-based "IROC" model. I lost another bet by not believing there was a version that was more powerful than the early IROC Camaros.

The Daytona was technically on the G-platform (although that was derived from the K).

I see quite a few here in Cleveland. I know two guys that show GNXs at local meets also. The T-Type Turbos are the one I don't see anymore. My mom had a blue '79 back in the early 80s. IIRC They weren't called T-Types then, but they did have a turbo motor.

Well if you ordered the biggest engine (350 TPI) it only came with the 4 speed auto.
