I like the drawing and the pic of the blue car.
I'm just grateful that there's a GTO again. Even if I can't afford it.

(Too soon to nag about the details...)

Actually, one thing I was hoping for was some of the wheels from the Holden series. Those HSV cars got purdy wheels.

I don't think that is the size the real overhang would be, that is just how the guy drew it.


What do you guys think of this GTO????????

Looks pretty cool too, might be better than the other one. The front is still really close to the 04 though.

give it a year or so I think and there will be hood kits to put on the '04 GTO to make it look like that. there isn't much to be done about the stance from the design standpoint, but a lot of that rendering's aggresiveness is the wheels. i think some nice, wide, thick and juicy 18 inchers on the '04 will give it a much more aggressive stance that everyone is looking for.

That is an '04 with a different hood, I guess they are going to sell it soon, check it out at http://www.newagegto.com

Maybe if you take off the judge stripes and the bright orange paint. The scoops look allright.

The thing that bothers me most about the 2004 is the rounded front fascia. If they had made it slightly more angular, like in the pic I posted, I wouldn't complain at all.

I could very easily see this as an 2005 GTO. GM seemed to rush the 04 here and didn't spend all the time needed to make exterior changes that would distinguish it as a GTO over a rebadged Monaro. Now with another year of development time and more budget the 05 will certainly get a much needed hoos scoup, more aggressive nose and maybe true duel rear exiting tips. Not to mention a little jewel Gen IV LS? under the hood, 400hp.... Now that will be the GTO many were looking for!

I dont like the scoop, but the stripe, side exhaust, and tach are awesome

In my opinion, this is the BEST one ive seen yet... I know a lot of people dont, but I would like to see the LS6 model be called the judge. If your gonna bring the car back, why not the performance badges... kinda like if they would bring back the firebird and not the trans am.


I think the perfect mix would be to use the front end from the first; tach, and exhaust from the second; and the paint and hood of the third.
