Re: Check out this photoshopped GTO concept

If they make the Judge, I hope they don't use those fruity letters. Are those the same letters they used back in the day?

That front grill reminds me of the '77 Firebird Trans Am, and Smokey & the Bandit cars.

I like that one and the original. The GTO needs aggressive styling anyway it can get it. The hood is cool. Might make a good Camaro hood actually.

That's what I was thinking.

It looked great on a 70s F-body. Looks terrible on a Monaro. Besides, GTOs never looked anywhere like that.

BTW: For general information to all, the GTO "Judge" was a trim package. The engine combos in the Judge was on regular GTOs as well.

I also think it's pretty silly naming a modern GTO after a skit from a 36 year old Television show 90% of today's enthusiasts have never watched. To make matters more bizzare, the original GTO Judge was a failure in the marketplace, lasted only a year and a half in production, and was the most expensive GTOs ever made, with prices approaching mid-level Corvettes.

Re: Check out this photoshopped GTO concept

Some people still need to get over the non retro styling of the GTO. It was normal to see this before the 04's but now the 05's are coming out soon and we're still seeing retro photoshops.

Get over it people.

But the idea was for the Judge to be a stripped down GTO with a big engine. I hope if they do a Judge then the decide to make it like the original idea.

I love it, I wouldn't ***** as much about how the GTO looks if it came back looking like that. Its current "hot hatch" looks don't impress me in the slightest.
