Id even be happy with a T-Type.

GNs and T-Types are for sale all over around here. Ive been very tempted to buy one. Maybe some day.

They are actually not faster from the factory.. with a little tuning and increasing the boost, they can be very fast though.. right outa the factory the viper will still win..

GN. The dangerous part of a GN is that a 9 second one and a 12 second one look identical from the outside.

Bad side, other than a Camaro and a Civic hatch, I can't think of a car with a worse stereotype.

Most of the GN owners down here have nothing in their lives but street racing. I guess it's not like that the world over.

I live in a pretty country area. I rarely ever see GNs on the road. Its all the Mustangs, camaros and TAs that have the bad name around here.

Yeah they are fast. I saw 2 at the track last time I was there. Man there's not a daily driver that could stand next to them. That & the cool ass whine as they rev for the launch.

Kinda like the people with crazy body kits that look fast, yet have no mods....

OT:
I swear. I got revved on twice today by people in opposite lanes.

Ahh well to each his/her own.
