if its not a dream....About dam time!!!!
Even if it's not a hoax...We can still dream that the GNX badge would re-emerge sooner or later...after a few great let downs from GM of muscle car name sakes ( Impala SS, Nova, Malibu, etc) we deserved to see an actual car bare a name with fond actual horsepower pride. You can imagine our (musclecar buffs) fear when the MOPAR camp announced they were bringing back the Cuda! And a lil' background on Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac...(BOP) we had always been sort of the ba$tard children of GM and had often had to share body platforms and design shapes of each other for years (kinda like ford with mercury), look at the Anniversary edition Turbo Trans Am...in 89 after GM/Buick stopped the production of their G-body RWD cars...Pontiac needed a quick powerplant fix for their cars...so what did they use? a BUICK turbo 3.8 SFI turbo!! So yes it looks like they will share the GTO platform (a RESPECTABLE production car!), hell, theyre using the same place (Australia) they made the GTOs...GM psyche...go fig. But AWD T-W-I-N turbo...My God...we old school Turbo Buick owners tend to not even consider a Twin turbo set up til we either blow up our Stock 109 blocks past 700HP with a Single turbo or we get bored and want to safely go to a stage II block THEN we TWIN turbo them for 1000-2000+HP monsters!!(dark) 450HP outta a lil 3.6 V6 will be a LOT safer to go cruising with of course (cabpatch) not to mention better body Stability at higher speeds. Jeez I hope my credit gets fixed by 2007!!!! (bling)
