All this information sounds great, If I was going to get a GTO I wouldn't be able to get one until next spring and by then I'll be able to get a hood with scoops and pipes coming out on both sides, probably as a dealer installed option.
GM has a winner with this one.

I looked at the Vette RPO's and they have two RPO's of MN6
LS1 Engine, 5.7L LS1 V8 SFI
LS6 Engine, 5.7L LS6 V8 SFI
MN6 Transmission, 6-speed manual
MN6 Transmission, 6-speed manual
MX0 Transmission, 4-speed automatic
So the MN6 for the GTO could mean anything!

I mean, everything from a Sunfire to a Bonneville has (and on my lot, sells much better with) a power sunroof. All my Grand Am GTs, all my Grand Prixs, always have one. And now a $35,000 car without one? Sure, Mustang doesn't have one either...but Mustang does not cost as much on average...A true shame

Ude-lose, what size rims are on that Black GTO? The show car had 18" and production is getting 17" right? I was hoping the GTO would be getting 18" rims, the 350z and G35 have 18"s
Jason E, the Cobra is $35,000 and has no sun roof, but I agree with you, it should be an option.

We’re not closing the door on the possibility of a “performance-model” of the GTO, but right now we are concentrating on the 2004 model with the LS1 engine. Stay tuned, because the one thing I know for certain is that this car is going to be around for a while, and it’s going to evolve.
I think I can also safely say that many of you will be in for a small surprise very soon.
