Re: Custom GTO Convertible

Although the black one is a little better, to me it just looks very feminine.

Re: Custom GTO Convertible

Until seeing those pics, I never really thought about how much the profile of the GTO resembles the small/medium size Mercedes coupe (don't know those car models very well). Not bad, but I prefer it with a roof though ...

Re: Custom GTO Convertible

Looks like a Mercedes CLK convertible from the side. It looks like a chick car, not a muscle car.

Man that Monaro front end is sooo much better IMO...The vert makes a much better Monaro than GTO.
