I had two of them, both '85s (first year for the GN, GNX was '87 only). They were amongst my most favourite cars ever. Even though they were both '85s there were a few differences between them, i.e., one had aluminum rear drums.

They were very, very fast cars and surprised a lot of people. The handling wasn't that great (typical N.A. road-barge "float"), but they were fantastic for eating up highway miles. They would even get decent mileage if you could keep your foot out of it....



like that ever happened.

Nice car guy. I saw the team had the car for sale on the Buick board didn't I? That car is a rocket. I got an modded 86 T occaisional street driver. I would love to make a pass in the Gallina/Freeman GN....very nasty indeed.

Ive always had a love for GNs since I found out they existed. I could never afford one and didnt like the fact that theyre a pretty big target by thieves. I will stick to my current daily driver. Its an '88 Thunderbird Turbocoupe, 2.3T/5spd. Atleast it has a turbo!

My aunt has a T-type for a daily driver, she has no clue that it is a special car. She keeps very good care of it, looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.

I have an '85 Mustang SVO that is a bit modified. Straight exhaust, ported intake, exhaust manifold and head, roller cam, '88 turbocoupe computer, bigger injectors, t3/t4 hybrid turbo with the boost turned up to 22lbs. The car is gutted too, it has two seats, a shifter and a dash shell to hold the instrument cluster, no carpet, heater or other "luxuries" It weighs in at 2600lbs with me in it. The thing is a blast to drive.
