I cannot see a stock GN running a 4-second 0-60, my 400HP M5, which was just a bit heaver, and would run mid 12's in the high teens, was a car that was in the mid to high 4's.
The GNX, at 55HP more than the GN, would have been capable however, despite having an "official" 0-60 of 5.4 seconds.
Road & Track had a good article on the GN and GNX:

They were very easy to mod and make faster, that was the beauty. But stock they were not as fast as many people "remember" them being.
