Wow!! I wake up this morning, and start scanning the board and find this!! What a shock Scot! I knew about your search for a new residence, but this caught me off guard! Hope you listen to Kathy's advice and find yourself someone to represent your interest in your search!!

Anyway, I'm not much into business related stuff so can't talk much about that side of things, Sounds like an excellent opportunity for an established T/R vendor/business to jump in and scoop up GNS performance and it's unique offerings!!

Scot and I frequent each other's houses because we only live a few miles from each other. So I'm very familiar with the car, and have driven it on numerous occasions and ridden in it during autocross runs. I can personally vouch for it's performance level!! This car runs STRONG!! and handles as if it were literally on rails!!!!!!
If you're looking for a SUPER handling car that is just as fast as it looks this is the one!! It has the best of everything as you can see in the listing. Can't say enough about this fantastic car that Scot has built.

Scot, you might want to copy your post to a couple other threads for maximum exposure!! Not everybody's going to be looking in the for sale sections. I usually don't, but just happen to stumble on this.
 
Well Gina & I have decided to sell the GNS Test Car so we can move onto our next project!

Before i get all hot and bothered pm me your asking price :) I am very close to buying my dream gn/ttype.
 
I'm going through a big change myself. Good luck!

It would have been much cheaper in the long run to buy your car than build my own version. Too late now ;)
 
Its kind of ironic i have wanted a gn/t type since I was about 10 years old. ( my uncle bought a 87 T) I am 32 now. I was hooked always loved g bodies in general. Then as i got older I learned of the GNX. With that came the knowledge of Xray and it became my favorite by far and still is. Then about 6-8 months ago I saw your car ........It is everything i could possibly ever want in a T. Great looking, Tastefully done , and handles as good as it looks from what I have read. This would be my perfect car. WE don't sell cars in my family we add cars. MY wife said about 6 months ago can you please just buy one already so you can stop obsessing in the am and before you goto bed ! It would be in a nice warm garage on carpet in the winter in the summer it would be getting run through its paces!:) Rant over sorry!

I think he is interested....and thanks...
 
Just a little autocross video from the last RTTH event this past Sept... As you can see, the cars at this event weren't your typical local ricers and it felt good to beat out 50 of those cars with my Turbo Buick! It's best to view it at HD and wide screen...

 
Scot, Glad to hear you are keeping the business.... I need to order the front end Ridetech stuff... I also wanted to say that car is amazing GLWS.... AL
