I think it is sad when they try to revive a classic. It's like watching a sports figure that has stayed in the game too long. You almost feel sorry for it. Other than the namesake, nothing is like before.
I've had my '86 GN about 6 years now. It is a very fun car. Easy 13's in street trim with the AC running. High 11's at the track with 117 octane race fuel and 25 psi boost.
