Re: 500hp GTO picutres

Car looks sweet to me... Now the question is will GM build anything looking like that??? They need to get on the same page as Ford and Chrysler. It's time to get something out there that'll give them a run for there money.

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

Overal I like the "direction" they took. The fender flares don't exactly look like they cleanly flow with the cars shape, but I still like them.

The front fascia looks sharp, I can definantly can imagine seeing that in a future production car.. although not quite sure if it matches the rear (which I think may fit better on a current production car)

That hood looks alot better with that car, than the hood they are putting on the 05 production cars.. The scoupes aren't as reduclous, and I like the front center bluge that starts right at the lights..

If they tone it down a bit and make the flares and suble lines flow, it'll look better! I think the reason why the current GTO is labeled "bland' cause its too slab sided and plan when it comes to body lines..

Re: 500hp GTO picutres

For those of you in Detroit, both the GTO and Colorado were parked in front of Duggan's just north of 13 Mile on Thursday night. They might be there Friday night too. I liked the car, the lip ground effects running down both doors was something I could do without. The rear spoiler isn't as tall in person as it appears in pictures, and the 389 packed in there looks great. There were many GM Powertrain people standing around both vehicles but I didn't ask if either of these motors were a preview of the LS7....I figured I would never get such info out of them. And no, I didn't have a camera so sorry guys no pics.

I feel your pain, there really is no excuse for it. I don't believe that NOBODY who went and took pictures of the GTO did not take pictures of the colorado.

I already explained this to you. The maf is good for that 575 hp at the wheels. If not more.
