Jake,
I'd rather go out and drive around in your GN. Those are the coolest cars.
Buddy of mine had one a few years ago.
His best time was 10.98 at 127 mph. You'd never know the car was built by looking at it, even under the hood or underneath.
Even his A/C still worked.
It was funny at the drag strip seeing all these stripped down, tubbed out, full roll caged cars being unloaded off of their trailers, barely running because they were so built and knowing that my friend's GN would bury them in the 1/4.
He could drive in with his A/C on and drive back out with his A/C on. And even though the car was so built, I think he estimated that he was getting around 20-25 mpg (as long as he kept his foot out of it).
I think I have some video of the car. I'll have to dig thru my tapes, convert it to DVD, and upload it to YouTube.
I was gonna say sorry about the thread hijack, but this is MY thread and it's already been hijacked anyways.

In the mean time, my Camaro is decisively more fun to drive than the GN.

Yeah, I need to freshen up the suspension and get a better set of tires for it, and then I'd agree with you. Right now, it's a little tired, and good 15" tires are really hard to find. I'll probably end up getting a set of GNX wheels (most likely replicas) and then getting something 16".

My buddy had 16s on his. They weren't GNX wheels or even replicas. Just a set of 5 spoke aftermarket wheels. They looked nice on the car.

Well, to be clear, I'm looking for a relatively wide set of summer-only high performance tires. There are plenty of 15" all-season passenger car tires in widths up to about 205, which are fine for all-season passenger cars. I'm looking for 245-width, performance oriented tires.

You mean the GM Performance Division badges? I would say mid-late 2009 when the GMPD was dissolved.
