Punkrock is hereby the all knowing Car enthusiast here at GTPlanet. Second only to the omniscient 12sec. Civic!
Punkrock, even though I gave some pretty dead give away clues (The 4.7 second GNX is a one of a kind American car) you deserve respect as a TRUE car enthusiast that truly knows what they are talking about, as opposed to the hordes of wannabes here at GTPlanet.

The GNX is an amazing car. Tuned by ASC Mclaren, it is one of the fastest cars to come out of the USA and was undisputedly the fastest car in the USA during its production. GM quickly ended its production due to their rock solid policy of having the Corvette as the fastest GM product. The GNX beat the Corvette at the drag strip by a full second in the 0-60 but the GNX's handling left something to be desired, although it was like a Porsche compared to the base Buick Regal.
I personally hope that people dont forget about the GNX because it deserves all the respect it receives. So this is my tribute to the GNX and Grand National, and all of the people responsible for its conception and inception.
BTW, for those of you who haven't heard of the Grand National or GNX (80% of the population). Here is what it was all about. 3.8L OHV Turbocharged V6. RWD w/ 4 spd Auto only. 0-60 4.7 1/4 mile 13.1 Top Speed: 161mph
The horsepower is officially unknown. Buick stated it at 245hp because they didnt want to draw any attention from the Corvette guys at GM. However, Car and Driver estimated 355hp; and Road and Track estimated 320hp with 390 ft-lbs of torque!!!

I miss the GN/GNX. The last sporting Buick (that sounds so wierd to say)! You can bet the execs at Chevy hated that car with a passion; it kicked the C4's homely ass into the weeds!
Mind you, I'm just going by 0-60 times...of course the Vette was quicker in top speed, I think C&D stated "if it didn't have a governor, the Regal chassis would have taken flight like a Frisbee."
I'm still of the opinion #2 is an aerodynamic Mack Truck.

- Somewhere.
there is one of them for sale around here. I thought it was pretty cheap, until i asked the owner, and found out the turbo's blown. It's probably the last musclecar worthy of this name.
is still can't figure out what #2 is, though...

Right on! Pupik pulls thru with the second hardest one. So although Pupik doesnt have the most correct guesses, he still got the 2 hardest IMO the 1985 Maserati Biturbo, and the 1993 Porsche 928 GTS.
Ok, since Punkrock guessed the most right, he is obliged to make another one. I want to see how well I do on this one. So make it exceptionally hard.

With a clue.
OK I didnt notice that. You guessed it outright.

I shouted when I saw the Aerio. It's the best Japanese car in ten years. What a leap forward for Suzuki. Standard 141 horsepower (more than the last generation Camry, Accord, and Saturn L-Series, and they were 'family sedans'), standard A/C, standard CD player... and an electronic speedo! How cool (if slightly outdated). Oh, and all-wheel drive. Coolness.
Oh, and #10 - Seat Ibiza.

well it's good for what it is, that's for sure. but, because it's a Suzuki, and because most car buyers are anal retentive, buying only what they know, or think is good, you'll still see a lot more Civics and Corollas then Aerios.
#7 is far from a 959, you've got the right make for #10, but not the right model...
# 5, 6 and 7 might be pretty hard to figure out, especially 7.
