I'd go either with the GNX or the Fiero option.

Most unique way: 4th gen Maxima (1995 SE with 5-spd), turbocharger, 2000 VI-manifold, cams, upgraded engine internals and all that good stuff...and your done.

The GNX wouldn't be cost effective at all. The car is rare and would use up most of your $30k just to get it.

I did not realize they were that expensive. Makes sense though.

Altho don't GNX's run low 12s stock?

Also since we are on the subject, whats the difference between a Buick Grand National and a GNX?

Grand National was developed by buick. it's a sporty car.
The GNX was the last of the line for the grand national so they handed development to Mclaren and thus it got a kick in the pants. It had a small garrett turbo and a smaller sized(not sure exactly how small though)ceramic impellar.

btw, it does 13.41 1/4 miles officially.

post whore just to piss you off.

The GNX was modified by McLaren? Are you sure?

I know there was a modified Licoln LS by McLaren (not to be confused wiht McLaren of UK that fields the F1 team and maker of hte F1 road car).

Instead of doing the work themselves, Buick handed the car over to ASC/McLaren Specialty Products.

Buy a notchback Mustang GT. Build engine, nitrous, slicks. 11's. Then you'd have about $25k left over.

$30,000 US dollars?

11's you need a roll bar,and other safety stuff.

Buy a used race car,LOL.don't spend all the money on the car,
because you WIll break parts if you have that much power.

Find a car that can go 9.99 and slow it down,LOL.

I would find a roller dragster for 10k and drop a motor and trans in, easy to go 11's with that.
