"...and the coolest Buick since the GNX" Sadly I think it's in reference to their new minivan-XUV thinger
personally, I hope they don't call it a "Grand National" or a "GN" since that name refers to the Grand National racing series which Buick hasn't had anything to do with for a long time. IMO, they sould stick with "Gran Sport" or "GS". If they want to make a high-performance version, bring back the "GSX" name.
just my $0.02.
well, what's faster in showroom stock condition- a '70 GSX, or an 87 GNX?
I agree they need to leave the GN and GNX names at rest. It would be an abomination if they were to bring it back with some fwd nonsense. :frown:
I have driven both,
If the GSX is a Stage-1 the GNX will be looking at its taillights.
Them Stage-1 cars are pretty quick.

take those 2 stock cars and put slicks on them and see what happens.Ummmmm.........The best 1/4 mile time i've seen from the old magazines of the day was a 13.41 for the 1970 GS Stage-1. I forgot the magazine but this number has been reported through the years in different magazines. The 87 GNX ran 13.20's - 13.40's depending on the driver. I think it would be a very close race with the GNX taking 3 out of 4 match races. That's pretty amazing considering the Stage-1 was basically a factory built race motor, and the GNX with it's little 231ci V6 was the little engine that could!!
i've never ridden in a GNX, but i have ridden in a stock 70 stage 2 GS, and that thing was brutal. i can't imagine what a GSX was like..
for now...there are rumours that the gn will come back in 2010 on the zeta platform with a turbo 3.6 sidi dohc a car that will go AND turn.
