    Grand National and GNX are returning!!

    I saw this on the GRRRR8 forum while I was waiting for my G8 to get checked up... could not believe it. One thing however, is very self evident from the "photos".... photoshop. Sure it's a nice gesture, but those photos are definitely not representative of what the actual car may look like...

    Push rods VS OHC
