    I'm ba-a-a-a-ck....

    It's been a while but I have never forgotten my friends at TB.com. Although I do not currently have a GN, I hope to again someday. Right now, I'm driving a 2015 ZL1 Camaro that is, of course, all black. But man, I do miss my GN. Hope you all are doing well and I plan on lurking here more...

    Numbers on a stock GNX turbo?

    I've found a GNX I'm considering buying but am not sure how to tell if the turbo on it is stock. What numbers or distinguishing features would tell me (after removing the turbo cover) if it is indeed a from-the-factory GNX turbo? Many thanks.

    It Was One of Those Days - Part 47

    The exhaust cackled a bit as we slowed, the turn-off was about an 1/8th mile past the ‘finish’ line. That was when I noticed that the runway/drag strip was at least a half mile long. It was hard to tell exactly in the dark but apparently the twins’ daddy is flying more than just prop driven...

    It Was One of Those Days - Pt 46

    It Was One of Those Days – Part 46 And so it went for about another hour or so, at least until we got tired of waiting to see more and decided to head home. Actually, I think most everyone was already in for the night. Kelly needed to get up early for work and even though I had a rare day...

    It Was One of Those Days - Part 45

    It Was One of Those Days - Part 45 My mind was racing, thinking about the freak of a Mustang we had seen a few minutes earlier, guessing what the darn thing had for a motor to sound like it did. My mind told me that it had to be some variation of the Semi-Hemi Boss 429 as I twisted the square...

    I'm seriously considering selling my 66K miles '87 GN Hardtop because I'm about to buy a new house. The car is in excellent condition for a car 23 years old and has the original paint and interior, etc. Interior is perfect, exterior has the usual checking in some spots that lacquer paint was...

    Power Antenna Motor Cycling

    My wife called me at work to tell me that the GN was making a humming, cyclical noise from the passenger side front. So, I came home to find what sounded like a noise from the passenger side front fender. Yep - the old power antenna seemed to be trying to get busy in there making a...

    17" x 9.5" rears - how much backspacing?

    I'm about to buy some Centerline 17x9.5 wheels and want to be sure about backspacing. I'm putting the new M&H Drag Radials on (275/50-17) which are 28" tall and about 10" wide. Would 4.75" B/S be ok or should I adjust that? I can custom order the back space dimension so I've got leeway. I...

    A/C will not run, compressor not cycling! It's HOT out!

    My A/C WAS working GREAT - but now it's not. The last time I used it was a couple of months ago and it blew ice-cold but not now - it will not even cycle at all. Not sure what might have happened but I suspect electrical issues. When I slide the switch from Off to Max or back, nothing...

    Front 'Littles' - which tire?

    I'm going with a 17" wheel most likely and am looking at doing the 17x4 for the fronts. What size and make tire should I look at? The car WILL see track time but only occasionally. Or, should I stay with 15" wheels? Either way, what tire do you recommend for a 4" wide rim?

    275/60 - 15 Nittos - what backspacing is best?

    I'm running 275/60-15 Nitto DR's on 15"x8" wheels on my car with 4" of back spacing which is the same back spacing as on a stock 15x7 GN wheel. The problem I'm running into on my new wheel search is not many of the manufacturers offer a 4" BS. Could I look at a lower or higher BS number...

    New wheels/tires - what do you recommend?

    Ok... it's time for some new rims and tires for Raven. I am thinking bigs and littles and would like some feedback from you on this idea. Also, I am staying with 275/60-15s for the moment but would consider other recommendations. My car is a solid mid-11 second street car with occasional...
