Cobra, there are a lot of Buicks that will surprise you, and I doubt if you'll find a GNX owner willing to trade at all... If you're not specifically out for a collector's item, the better route is a "common" '87 Grand National, with a few minor mods. For less than a thousand bucks, any Grand National can run easy 12's in the quarter mile. Plenty of handling equipment is available for these cars, too.
I have an '89 Mustang, heavily modified that I use for roadracing, but my other performance car is a Buick GS 455 convertible. The Buick GS Club has a great website, and a great newsletter, with tons of technical information.

Keep your stang, and pick up a used '87 Turbo Buick!
