Looks about 1000 x better than stock... still not that great. :blah:

The rear pic looks ALOT better than the front.

Dang, that's harsh. I'm digging this design, myself, and I thought the stock version was fairly boring.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

I agree, throw in another vote for much better. The rear shot is kinda dark, although i can make out the dual turnd down exhaust on the passenger side which is quite cool.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

forgot to throw my opinion in. The only thing i dont like about the front is the grille... the silver plastic looks so out of place and cheap. The body looks awesome I think it should have a tad more ground clearance though, i think id be uncomfortable driving that everyday, and I cant imagine trying to clear a driveway curb (subdivisions) with that front end. I dont like the exhaust at all... (are those dual dual tips or mufflers hanging down )... whatever the case, i think that black centerpiece is where the exhaust outlets need to be. Otherwise, that looks

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

That thing looks MUCH better. I especially like the front half. The hood is really nice and so are the buldging fenders. Although im not too fond of the turned down exhaust :/

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

I swear to friggin' God, if GM would get things right the first time, they wouldn't have to tease us with how nice the GTO would've looked if these bodyparts were available as standard equipment. Honestly, I think the new GTO is good looking in person, but the GTO pictured here, the "Last Ride" GTO, Arrowhead's GTO, etc. makes you think why the heck they didn't design them that way in the first place! I hope those dealers with the $4K mark-ups have GTO's languishing in their lots for a lonnnng time. Just like when they didn't offer manual transmissions on 3rd gen L98 cars........I swear.... sheeeesh

Much better. Personally, the rental car Cavalier look is growing on me.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

Hurl. All it needs is a set of neon lights and a kid with a ballcap turned around backwards driving it and it would fit right in with the import crowd.

No thanks. I'll take mine much closer to stock appearing. 500 HP is nice....but that doesn't show up in pictures.
