GTO motor getting tweaks
Automotive News reports that the GTO's LS1 is getting two tweaks.
One will increase low end torque in order to improve 0-60 times.
The other is to revise the exhaust for a more agressive note.
Interestingly...they also say that GM will sell 30,000 GTOs per year...10,000 more than what we were thinking.

I sure hope it's 30,000 per year, keeps dealer markups at bay (kinda). It's the only car GM makes or is visually in route that I would/could actually buy.
They bring it in at or under $30K, consider it sold!

Its nearly impossible for GM to mess this one up. As long as the car is solid structure wise it'll be a winner. Looking forward to it, no doubt, but my *** wont be able to afford one till like 2008

I don't think the GTO LS1 will have any more power than the LS1 I have in my 2k2 Z28. That being said it is an increase in power over the LS1 currently offered in the Monaro. Basicly GM is dropping the LS1 with the improvements made up to the 2003 Vette spec motor. I would expect power ratings to be anywhare from 320-350 hp.
