I know the engine is nice, and I hear it handles nicely, but that body does not say GTO to me. Sorry.

The GTO enthusiast crowd is not pleased with the look either.

In fact they were so displeased that they featured the upcoming 2005 Mustang on their homepage instead!

You're right though, stuffing a 'Vette engine into a larger coupe body isn't a bad idea, but it's not a GTO either.

GM better PRAY Ford won't bring the Falcon over, my bank better pray for the same thing!

but apart from it not even being close to what the past GTO was... don't you think that it's a friggin great idea... i mean... it's only a matter of time before it rivals the camaro and the mustang, and they come out with the convertable and maybe even "the judge" series... it's nothing like the old car... but they can call it "GTO inspired" in my book, because it might be just as popular in a few years as the car of former glory.

although... one of the larger reasons the former GTO was so popular, was because it was so affordable. 19 year olds could work for three years at a minimum wage job and afford one. I shudder to see the pricetag of the future GTO

I like the new GTO. They are marketing towards new enthusiasts, which is making the old enthusiasts unhappy.

 

[joecomputerdude]

yeah... i don't see very much difference between the new GTO and a grand prix gt.. maybe they ment GPGt and someone mistook it for GTO... lol...

anyone know if it's comparable to the camaro/bird/stang in weight and bodysize... what a 4 way race there... maybe that should be a new post...
