Default Grand National... power of the GNX

recently i moved back to my hometown after finishing with a school in Alabama, Sunday on my way to Alabama to grab my last check from my job i get about half way there and see what appears to be a grand national. so naturally i hit it and get up to him, sure enough it's a GNX he looked over at me and smiled, then spooled it up and that turbo on it SCREAMED! it this point im well aware its not stock at all (high boost and supporting mods) once we cleared to mobile tunnel and it opened to 4 lanes we did several 50 rolls and it was close till his turbo spooled then he just started walking away lol. at about 110 he was say 2-3 cars up. it wasnt a kill but it was damn fun running with a GNX for 40 miles lol

I really hope for his sake that it's either not a real GNX, or it wasn't modded. Modding a GNX pretty much cuts it's value in half.

come to think of it the real GNX didnt have badging on the side this one had badges so it was a grand national with turbos which is still a nice car but not as valuable.

Dad's got a T-Type, they can be real wicked cars for sure. His runs 11.40's at ~118.

Took a loss in style for sure
