If anyone ever had an arguement about making the GTO retro or not this should make it obvious that that the car needs to stay modern. To copy a 67 Mustang fastback is one thing to copy a 64-67 GTO is quite another.

Its definately more aggressive looking than the production version. The prod. GTO needs to look more aggressive IMHO. Great concept, nice work.

Z284ever, I've had a picture similiar to that in my head for about three years now. Thank you for posting that. I like your selection of using the GTO concept wheels of a couple years ago. The only thing that looks akward to me is that the front end is very sculpted and true, but then the back end is too round and high up in the air IMO. Perhaps shaving the rear down to match the frontal line would blend better. Overall, nice job!

In case there is any confusion, that's not my work, I found it on another site.

It appears to be a photoshopped Monte Carlo.

Is it front wheel drive too?
