GNX no matter how much we put them on a pedastal are not hand build ferraris and i dont wanna hear all the crap about ASC mcclarenā€¦ hell, someone stole the fucken car right off them! you think they had guys in white doctors coats working on these cars? no, some kid was probably put in charge of puting air in all the tires and was handed a few bags of valve caps from God knows where OR ā€¦ they would have just reused the same stems they took out of the GN wheels! \<ā€”that is more likely what happened richard can know all the book smarts and date stamped codes etcā€¦ but whoā€™s to say someone at the assembly line didnt have a few bags of grey caps that were made years earlierā€¦ iā€™m happy to say richard is wrong and his engineering degree doesn;t amount to a lil common sense and some fact checking. and ron is not totally right or wrong either. ---

I SHOWED YPU PROOF. what the hell do you call those pictures! and seriouslyā€¦ dont pat urself on the back about 'turbo" cars its still just a regalā€¦ they still got the same orange peel that ā€œregularā€ g-bodies got. they didnt get no white glove treatment. andā€¦ANDā€¦ ASC Mclaren didnt do anything different to the GNX that cars and concepts did to the Hurst oldsā€¦ sure the parts where different but they were a conversion facility just like C&C. 20,000 is a lot more common than 3001 šŸ˜› and what donā€™t you understand about my statementā€¦ GM/ McClaren didnā€™t screw up and put gray caps on some cars? ANd every single part on every car is date coded? fact is sometimes parts are over stocked and they use parts from a previous year so maybe an 84 mirror glass ends up on an 85ā€¦ understand now? So maybe black is Book correctā€¦ but that still doesnt mean that 547 wasn;t correct with grey caps.I believe ron when he says his car came from the factory with grey capsā€¦cause like he saidā€¦WHAY WOULD HE CHANGE THEM!!! Look ur not into the old muscle cars like i amā€¦ whats correct and how they left the factory isn;t a black and white answerā€¦ theres a grey area ( no pun intended) if it makes you feel better turbo cars were built in the land of OZ and they sprinkled fairy dust on them when the munchkins pushed them down the yellow brick road. ---

you showed me a pic just because you found a pic of a car with grey doesnt make them correct. all gnxs were equipped exactly the same black is correct -Grey is not rons car as well as most all others went through dealer prepā€¦ somebody touched the car before ron had it-you and him will both have to live with that. gnx 110 was picked up from the factory at asc- no one touched it it is the most correct one in existance now by reading above on two different broads by owners of gnx outside of richard you see them making fun of it . you have proof that grey isfucking still wrong ---
