gnX X-Ray
 
9 Attachment(s)
I found this info on turbobuick.com, I've seen pictures of this car but never new the storey.

X-ray began its life as a white Turbo T.

When the GNX project closed at 547 there were parts left at ASC so Rick (last name omitted for privacy) who had worked the line and helped with the first two GNX's took the leftover parts and put them on his T, transforming it into X-ray.

He even fabricated the X-Ray badge

GMP modeled their 1:18th off of his car.

This is a Quote from the owner.

First let me say thank you to all of you who appreciate my car. This is my first experience on message boards so hopefully I will be able to answer questions pertaining to my vehicle and the GNX’s that were built. You will see a picture of the car (attached in the GN registry as I just joined) as it was shown at an ASC quarterly meeting where I was awarded with a Car Nut award shortly before leaving the company.
I was a technician at ASC when the program was going on and designed several components along with helping with the fixtures for building the vehicles at our Livonia, Michigan assembly plant. I helped the people at the plant; showing them how to install the components. I was working with a technician from McLaren that was showing them how to install the suspension and drive train components as I concentrated on the interior and exterior components. My car was made from extra components that were used in making fixtures and also some first shot parts.

That is a TurboBuick, they have a 231 CI Turbocharged V6 that is rated at around 250hp and over 300ftlbs of torque. a few minor mods and you can run 11s no problem.

Doesn't look stock tho. Either way. Nice car.

unfortunately there are no really clear underhood shots but I think other than the GNX ceramic turbine Turbo, everything else looks stock. it could have other stuff but I can't see it.

Looks stock to me
