Cool. My dad has a Holden GTO, basically the same as the pontiac just with a different nose.
I might have to get that kit and make it into an HSV

Re: new pontiac gto???

To be honest, I can't remember where I saw them, I do know I wanted it though.

Pretty sure it was off this link here

Re: new pontiac gto???

There's more to the GTO- HSV GTO then a differnt nose mate, there's the interior, which would be near impossible to get for a resin kit unless the body kit has the interior included. I'm pretty sure the Pontiac GTO has the 6.0L LS2 in it but I am probably wrong, I'd prefer the 2005 Holden Monaro to be completely honest.

Re: new pontiac gto???

The VL (I think) Commodore from the eighties used a Nissan motor, but nothing else before or since.

It should be soon. I've heard as early as next month. The test shot of the mold was already sold on EBAY, so I'm guessing they are already in production/packaging stages now. I'm looking forward to getting the street and track versions.

Here's a link to my Fotki folder from Drift Atlanta. The GTO pics are on page 2. The engine should be easy enough to steal out of a Revell Corvette kit.
