Yep, here we go again.




OK, BowtieNewguy

1. You know the new GTO is the quickest & fastest GTO ever offered for sale stock from the factory?

2. You know the GTO Judge was a sales flop, and didn't make it a year and a half in the marketplace?

3. You know all the grief the new GTO is getting is identical to the grief the '68 GTO got when it "went soft" in design?

4. You know the GTO went through at least 4 separate body styles in it's lifetime, and not one resembled the other?

5. You know the only constant in GTO's history is hood scoops and a big engine?

6. You know GTO was a sleeper, a big engined brute cleverly disguised as a economy car (the Pontiac Tempest).

7. You know by 1969, the GTO was the most expensive muscle car?

8. You know the GTO "Judge" was concieved as a low priced version of the GTO, but by the time it hit the showroom, it was the most expensive GTOs ever made?

9. You also know there was no engine the Judge had that couldn't be had in a base GTO?

10. You know how many times this type of GTO debate came up on this website?


You realize that not only does GTO's success to some degree effect GM's final approval on future performance coupes (including Camaro), but that pretty much everyone who has driven the car loves it?


Now... don't make me have to get medival on ya.

 

Radio is saying 299 a month...
Im paying 260 for my Maxx...hrm.

Real GTO traits you say?. I got it..how about we throw out that crazy fandangled IRS for a live axle unit, and that fancy-shmancy leather interior and trade it for some vinyl! NOW THATS A GTO! Oh yeah, dont forget to remove the disk brakes, abs, tracton control, 17 inch rims, and all that supid LS1 and lets get a 389 with tri power! Now we are talking!

 

That is a 36-month lease with ~$2K down.

 

WHA! Crap...I wish Pontiac sent me an email 3 months ago about this.

[QUOTE]

all my friends hate the fact that it has a boring look... but i drove it.. and i feel in love with it... If i wasn't driving the Z06 i would probably endup in a GTO.

 

According to the dealerships around here its still $33k for a new GTO Well really its $39k with the Dealer mark up.

Spent most of the last two days in a dealership finallizing the deal on my new (1999) Pick up.

 

i've driven the 05. hold out, hold out!
