Knew it was coming so its cool. Its awesome to be next to a car like this and get a true understanding of how damn fast an 8 second car is.

*Warning* Mild profanity due to my shock and awe.

They can be absolute monsters for not that much $$. I was looking at buying a GN for a while but it's tough to find one that's not either ridiculously expensive or beaten/in crappy shape

Been there too man. Makes you feel kind of slow in comparison, lol. Most of the time they won't even put two cars that are that far apart in power together like that. Kool vid though! Nice pass btw.

Ha, damn near all of them were that fast. 5 of them pulled massive wheelies on go.

There was one mustang holding it down though. The plastic in front of the windshield it was flies off at the end.

Sorry, I get excited and start yelling when the turbo goes into "suck up the world" mode.

I have loved the GN's a long time, my dad's is one of the most entertaining cars I have ever driven. It seems that normally they at least try to pair power levels, but once I was paired against an alcohol dragster. I think he lifted at the 1/8 mark and I still more than doubled his time lol
