What about educating fools at a stop light on the way to work and back? :)

Then your bird should have QQ tags. Maybe it would stop you from calling people princesses.

You can do standing mile runs to and fro work.

It's not a relic yet and however its classified, it will not stop the namecalling. :nod:

I've driven on daily for a couple of years...

Heres a picture of the 86 and 87

I thought you sold the 86

You can say goodbye to handling with a GN...

Aint that the truth

This could be you if you accept the power

is it really that bad?

thats sweeeeet

He bought the 86 in the pic from me a longgg time ago. LSX under my hoods ever since, and not going back....

picked mine up a few weeks ago and only regret so far is I should have bought one sooner, like back in 87. Theres a few good site out there and the guys have tons on info and are very willing to help and share. Starting LS brake swap this weekend
As far a handling, that's available also....
GNS Performance down south has it all
and my granny grey interior is soon to be black with TA seats

That's x-ray the white one in thumbnail GNX "548"

Don. I didn't know you got one, post up a pic man

Why is there train tracks in your backyard?

Is it "are" train tracks?

I think that option was called F-Body in 1986 and 1987... lol

Train is a test bed to for trying to replicate the better handling the train has over the gn.



..kidding aside, you can make these things handle pretty good w/some aftermarket goodies.

don't you mean 1989 ? when they built the turbo transam with the turbo 3.8

I was referring to the years the GN was available and the fact that if you wanted GM and wanted it to handle and not be a Vette, you went for an F-body. And since magazines didn't really review the 86 model, the 87 was a huge model run compared to all the other GN years.

I think the folks who had GNs pooped their pants when the same drive train was put in a GTA and not only was faster in a straight line, iwas more aerodynamic, but could handle and stop too. Not to mention the 160mph top speed as delivered...

The really funny part is how much of a boat anchor the 3.8L they put in the GN is without the turbo and intercooler. The early non intercooled GNs were ok, but not noteworthy; slap some good EFI with an intercooler and one hell of a flat TQ curve and you get some magic.

a lot of neat g-body parts have shown up in the past year to make those boats turn corners!

My old G-body handled pretty well, considering what I did to it. Eibach springs, Bilstein shocks, upgraded spindles with better brakes, and an F-body front sway bar. Add in a good set of 17" wheels and real tires instead of some wimpy 15's that stock GN's are riding on and the difference will be like night and day. I've been out of the G-body game for over 2 years, so I'm sure someone out there has made even more improvements that I don't know about.

Check out the link in my sig if you're interested.

Noticed that too - guess the pro touring crowd is picking up enough of these for manufacturers to engineer some handling goodies. The prices are an eye opener though.

I do have an old Hot Rod where they built up the suspension on a 1986 442 (maybe 87) and made it handle as good as a WS6 3rd gen car.

UMI in particular is making stuff now.
