Preview of GTO

Post by ragingfish »

Here's an up close and personal look at the Holden Monaro, which has much in common with the upcoming GTO...Looks beautiful!http://www.linenoyz.net/videos/topgearGTO.wmv

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »That is going to be a dissapointment for Pontiac. How can any rear wheel drive car with 350 hp and a 6 speed manual be a dissapointment? Especially with a namesake of GTO? This car is going to sell huge, its seriously a sweet car, inside and out. Sure sure, it doesn't look like an older GTO, but man, retro is stupid, and do you really think that if they never cancelled the GTO way back when, it would still look the same? NOPE! You can't upgrade retro. 3-5 years down the road, how do you improve a car when you're stuck with retro looks? you can't. Anyone see any new changes with the PT Crapper lately, or is it stuck the way it is? How about the T-Bird, oh thats right, aren't they scrapping that car?I was walking through the parking garage here at the Warren Tech Center, and a guy started the GTO exactly when I was walking behind it. Holy crap that thing sounds awesome, 2 different car alarms started going off when he started that puppy, not to mention me almost wetting my pants.

Quote, originally posted by Pablo1669 »How can any rear wheel drive car with 350 hp and a 6 speed manual be a dissapointment?My thoughts also. My first real car was a 68 SS Camaro, 350 in it, manual, 12 bolt posi. 3rd car was a 72 Z-28 with a cammed 350. It's possible alot of younger members don't know what it's like to drive a car like the GTO.Quote »Holy crap that thing sounds awesome...Check out the GTO flash section of Pontiac's web site. At the bottom of one of the pages is "hear it". It has some audio of it, but there's also a story on the research that was put into just the exhaust. They went as loud as legal limits allow.

That's an interesting question, as the GM Canada site makes no reference to an upcoming GTO...
