GNX. I know a guy who tunes them, and pushes them to the limits. I believe his runs high 7's or low 8's if I remember correctly.

That T/A has the 3.8 turbo V6 as well right?

Personally I like the GNX. Grandma car with balls:D

i dunno, i think id prefer the TA. just much much rarer, and although not as sinister looking, prolly less known by quite a few.

There were around 1500 TA's built but only around 550 GNX's.

GNX for two reasons:

1) The 20th Anniversary TA says "Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500" on the side of it

2) The GNX is bad-ass

the 20th anniversary TA has the same motor as the GNX

Yeah, but I'll mistake it for every other f-body out there if I don't look carefully.
GNX make re-think every Monte Carlo and Regal out there.

Actually, the production numbers of the GNX were roughly 1/3 that of the '89 TTA.

Remember, GN != GNX ;)

The GNX looks such an unlikely fast car that it is the only choice. Nothing like owning someone with your Grandad's car.
