Bumper requirements?

Seems a pretty small thing to keep it out

 

The new GTO sounds better everyday. 360hp and some nice high gearing should give it 4th gen f-body performance in a much, much, MUCH better package. More room, excellent build quality, and great handling and performance; sounds great to me. The car maybe a little pricey for some people now (including my college student self), but its nothing that I won't be able to afford a few years out of school.

 

will it take cues from the HRT427 ? ( the hrt 427 externally isnt much different to a base monaro except for air intakes and dual exhaust...) hmmm i wonder...

I'm sure they would be "let in", customs has a lot more to worry about these days than cars conforming to some silly crash standards. The problem for Canadian citizens would be keeping the car there as a registered vehicle.

 

I really doubt that--the law is the law. There is alist of cars that cannot be brought across.
Even if you could I doubt a Canadian company would insure it (insurance is mandatory in Canada)- it wouldn't even be in there database.
You cannot bring ANY car from USA to Canada and
Canada to USA.

Just try to bring a Lada into the US--ain't gonna happen. What's that little Lotus...Eslie? You could import them to the US but it's not getting on a public road---although it could race on a private track.

 

I'd bet those dual exhaust pipes are GTO. If GTO doesn't come with that induction system, I sure hope HSV sells it separately.

 

The original GTO Judges were not stripper cars, in fact it was the opposite.Most came loaded. By 1969 all GM and Ford muscle cars were becoming weighed down. Chrysler still had the real racers (ones w/ no money)

 

As a salesperson, it'll be fun to see how many of these bad boys I get to stock the first year. I got all the Firebirds I wanted this year because no other dealer wanted them!!! I'm a tiny little dealer, and I had no problem getting 35 Firebirds for stock this year...6 still left.

If I get 1-2, I'll be thrilled

 

20,000 cars and how many dealers??? I would think you would get a few more than just 2, unless of course you have no orders for them. I think 20k cars is alot, especially if they are $35 to $40k each. If you can get em for $30k there will bea huge demand, but i'd say $35k sticker, and the suckers will pay a mark up in the first 4 months...Just look at Cobra sales. Thats one hell of a bag for the buck and you can get them for below sticker now.

 

Ah yes, but consider this....

I am a smaller dealer. The big guys in the big cities will get the lion's share, I think. I mean hell, there were dealer in Florida when I went on Spring Break in March who had 5 Vibes in stock, and I hadn't even seen one in person yet!!! Just because you put the order in first does NOT mean you'll get the damn thing
