[quote] IfI remember whatI readcorrectly, technically the Mustang wasn't the first pony car. the Barracuda came out 6 months ahead of it. but the mustang had better sales.

As for the Viper versus VetteI would haveeither one. I like em both. The US needs some cars out there to compete with Europe sports cars.they are both fast both very hot looking cars. Just my$.02 [quote]

For the Viperbeing 2/10ths of a second fasterin the quarter mile with the same professional driver handling both cars. I'd go with the Corvette Z06 because of the price difference.

GM did make another sedan that would match it. 1994,95,96 ImpalaSS
No the Impala SS was no where near as fast as a GNX. A GNX did 0-60 in approximately 4.6-4.7 secs & the 1/4 mile in 13.4 secs @ 104 mph. The 94-96 Impala SS did0-60 in7.0 secs & the 1/4 in 15.4 secs. The engine output was lower as well. The LT1-powered Impala SS was only rated at 260hp & 330ft-lbs of tq, whereas the GNX produced 275hp & 360 ft-lbs of tq. Also the GNX was a coupe, I only used the STS to represent another luxury car andsince the STS is closer to the size of the GNX than the XLR is I chose to use the STS as the example.
I was just putting my 2 cents worth in. In my experiences between the two are the numbers say alot BUT I owned a 1996 Impala SS and ran a GNX coming home after a local car show. The GNX was quicker off the line but the SS caught it and passed it, slowly pulling away from it when i had to slow down for my turn home which i did throw my hand, Thumbs up, to the GNX for the great run.

unless your SS wasfairly modified, the GNX couldnt have been trying. We are talking about cars that are some 2 seconds apart in the quarter mile. Are you certain that it was a GNX, not a GN? Your car would have given a stock 85 GN a good run, but the 86-86 GN and GNX should make very very short work of a stock Impala SS.

Also, there were only like 550 GNX's made..and they are very valuable collectors items.

i like the look of it and love the color but i dont care for the black strip down the middle or the red drivers stripe. i think itd look better all one color or maybe that dark grey color with white, red, or black stripes. im mixed on the wing. in some ways it looks good but i generally dont like those big gaudy wings on the backs of cars. i would love to own one though.

Ahhh I love the flat black on this car. Reminds me of the Batmobile and thats awesome. Ricer wings should never be put on American Muscle but since its functional I'll let it slide this time. This is an orgasm on wheels.
