I used to have one of those. Not that hopped up or in that good of shape. It was in Germany of all places. Smoked a few BMW's and Porches with that car. Not real great on the autobahn. Good 1/4 mile car.

Look at the roll cage inside. I've driven a GNX and it was fast. Where did you see this?

i'll give up half the secret, the car is a GNX clone, it started life as a white cutlass, the sheetmetal was changed a bit to make it a GN/GNX clone

Based on the size of the rear meats, it must have a narrowed rear end and wheelwells tubbed. With the low profile tires, it must be a edited by admin to get hooked up on launch though.

I'm just basing the Powerstroke idea on where the turbo is located.
