I can build GNX clone and drive it like I stole it and when you drive a real GNX on roads, ask any owner if they can leave their GNX alone to use rest room or walk around and look at other cars if they go to car shows...
I have spoken to real GNX owners and this is the truth...
In fact I treat my 87 GN exactly like it is a GNX, it is my car since January 1988 and still in my garage Dec 31, 2008... original owner, can you say that as GNX owner... I want a car I can drive, becuz I have a GN I rarely drive simply becuz of the same reason GNX owners do not drive their car.
Have you ever seen a GNX owner with a small child looking at as his GNX as the child or older kids/adults lean forward and touches the paint or a man in AWEeee leans up against it or puts his hands on the quarter panels looking at the engine bay... all scenarios real GNX owners have to deal with...
Also, I saw a MINT low Mileage GNX with 5 miles never driven had a small dent in rear quarter panel below passenger window becuz a person leaned aganist it... and this was seen in 2008 with my own eyes, speaking to GNX owners, including during GS Nationals car show...
Ask Richard Clark, you can modify a GN or T and make it faster/quicker than GNX with minor bolt-ons... even HR Parst N Stuff suspension parts are better performance for track acceleration vs GNX suspension... plus it is cheaper...
I am an the original owner of a 1987 GN -- purchased with 153 miles and currently 38,000 miles... plus an 87 GN with bolton parts, with GNX clone parts, if you saw it, you would have to look very closely to know it is a clone, after all I do own GNregistry and GNXregistry, the REAL difference between a GNX and GNX clone is MONEY $$$, would you make a GNX a daily driver or a GNX Clone if you have original GN sitting in the garage too... now is the time to buy GNX's and GN's...
Owning a GNX is great but too much hype, stress and not being able to drive it becuz it is worth more to let it sit... I can build GNX Clone for under $20,000 and pass it off as GNX to 99% of the world except TB owners who really know the difference... but with tires, rims, dash plaque, turbo shield, vents, stickers, trans cooler, suspension, SW dash gauges, power antenna, rpo codes including T2L, concert sound... panhard bar etc, etc, etc, money can buy anything, and it is a GNX CLONE, personal satisfaction is the only difference...
