FYI, the 3.8 Turbo was NOT in the Syclone and Typhoon, they had the 4.3 Turbo AWD setup.

It was cool too see but sucked balls for hooking up, my dad had #352 it was the first car i ever drove, we never drove it much but made a bunch of passes with it after some tweeks, even on a tire the fucker would never hook.

I just bought a copy of that Car and driver a couple years back. Car and Driver issue July 1985, and the car was new. I also went to a car show I saw grand nationals and ereGNXs. Funny hing they were all owned from older guys that bought the car for $17 grand back in the day. It just made my heart drop when I saw those cars. I wish I had money, these cars ain't cheap and the GNX only lasted one year. The oth

N2ocomet- They used the 200r4 transmission, which everyone knows is garbage. Lol.

#1 the Syclone and Typhoon had 4.3 V6, not the same as the GN. #2 The reason the rear end lifted was because the GNX came with a ladder bar on it. Mounted to the rear differential, and another point just behind the transmission, this kept the rear end from rotating under torque load, and since it couldnt rotate, it lifted. Such a site to see.

I wish I could buy a grand national cant find any for cheap
