I dont know, this is a cool GN but it's just not my cup of tea. I know the flames arent easy to paint like that but i would have probably saved the hassle and left them off. Interior? It's different I guess. But to me it's a little too different. Other than it just looks to me like a normal GN with gobs of chrome under the hood.

Never thought I'd say this...but there is such a thing as TOO MUCH CHROME! I love the speaker system in the trunk and the rims are good if you don't want the stock look but that is about it. I think the flames on a GN are ridiculous. Awesome if you will never drive it on the streets and just trailer it to car shows because extreme looks are palpable...but would not want to do more with it looking like that. IMO. Like you said...the interior IS different...but I just ask myself, "Why?". It is bordering on too much...which sometimes is that fine line between "Sweet!" and "Gangsta". Only my humble opinion, but it just does not look GN "Tough" anymore. A lot of work went into that, that is for sure.

Board member?? New England car but have never seen it around. Wonder if it even sees any street time?

I chalk it up to "different strokes for different folks" Not what I'm into, but if you're a show car guy, I'm sure it would cost much more than $45K to replicate that thing.

I'd drive it, but I don't like the interior, I'd put in leather GN covers and a factory steering wheel and be happy with it.

I like it, but it cost more than my house. That paint was probably $20,000.

Can't find my "puking" smiley or I'd post it.

local car up here.. thats the way they wanted it.. there are a lot of "CHROME abominations" out there..we have our fair share in here to .. whatever floats your boat

Ive never seen it around. Rockland isnt that far a haul from here. I might go check it out. Not to buy ofcourse. I dont like it that much.

Why spend all that money on a cage when there are no real performance modifcations to warrant ever needing it?

 

[jdpolzin]

I hate to slam it too much becuase it obviously has a lot of work and money into it and hey, at least it's a GN! It almost has the old school 30-40's hot rod theme. A lot of those guys like the flames, custom interior, chrome, etc.

 

[boostingirl]

wow i never thought anyone would have more chrome than mark

 

[klrv6]

I see more than 45K in that. No, it's not the typical GN muscle car look but, I would be happy to own it. It wouldn't take much to justify the roll bar.

ATI makes truck drivers AND blow off valves.....I never knew this.

 

[Darkcyde]

exactly

sucks when the coolest thing about the entire care is the center counsel lol

 

[SGRIM]

There seems to be alot of $$ in it...

To each their own...

Can't buy taste.






Could at least make it sit right. You could have a car that does look good and kill it with the wrong stance. You figure if he could spend all that jack he could at least pay someone a couple hours to cut those front coils.
But, once again...taste.

 

[jdpolzin]

HAHA!!! Very true! The car would MUCH better if it were at least slammed!
