Re: 05 Gto?

I like production 2005 GTO minus the hoodscoops and wing. That just seems to go against the rest of the cars understated looks. I think it'd look better with a 2004 wing/hood.

Re: 05 Gto?

The RA6 GTO concept is what the GTO should have looked like. In the meantime we have the boring one that isn't selling so good.

The SEMA/Woodward GTO should be the 05 GTO.

Scoops: functional: yes:

Re: 05 Gto?

So the black one is going to the the '05? WTF? Those dumb scoops look like everyone is sticking on their cars these days... not to mention, they look like every other Pontiac scoop out there!

Re: 05 Gto?

oh boy...

See what you get when you ask to put goofy scoops on a sleek coupe? I knew that no one was gunna like them...but everyone said "ITS NOT A GTO WITHOUT SCOOPS!!"
Well, you got your stupid scoops. Enjoy.
As for the Woodward GTO, sorry GM couldnt throw in millions of dollars into new molds for a plant that will only make about 30k GTO's over the next 2 years.

Re: 05 Gto?

It was actually a minority of people asking for scoops...they just wanted them so bad that in every freak'n thread they had to post it 10 times. I don't think its the same people that are complaining about them now.

Scoops are also just an option I believe.

Re: 05 Gto?

But the GTO is a limited production aimed at enthusiasts who want a bit more then a drag racer. Everyone threatend GM with death if the GTO didnt have scoops.

I think a set of the Coupe4's fender flares would have been a better option....but hey, what do I know.

I mean, look at this f****** thing! Woodward It blows the other GTO out of the ******* water! Damnit GM!

Those scoops are getting to be rediculous! I'm seeing them on trucks, cars, SUVs, Vans, everything. Come on, GM...

One more thing...the way GM did the scoops also pisses off a lot of people. If they would have done it like the Woodward then things would be great, but instead they put those crappy ghey look'n ones in production. Way to go GM

That's my problem with it. They look "tacked" on or afterthoughts. It'd be nice if they took the route of the Camaro SS and ws6 firebird by actually making it look like a Ram-air hood instead of a standard hood with tacked on scoops. They should have went with a more seamless look.
