The GNX is a Special Edition Grand National... They are a bit more tuned and modded. There were very few of these made and they are quick, They also have Ladder Bar suspension to keep possitive traction under Hard acceleration. The guys car should be pretty damn quick, with what he has, but I don't know how it would compare to the Seven..

That guys GN is probably a 11 second car at least, probably faster.
Popular Hot Rodding took a stock block GN with close to 200,000 miles on it, put some bolt ons and Kenny Dutweiler dyno tuned it to about 550 horsepower at the wheels, the stock turbo charger as well. The cars wernt ALL that heavy either, I think somewhere around 3300-3500 lbs or so.
GNs go VERY fast with some minor tuning.
