Re: favorite year for the GTO?
I like every one of them except the 71-74. After they made the engines whimpy (post70), they killed the looks. I like the 04-06' GTO's the most.
With much respect to the older GTO's and those who love them, the 04-06 line definatly has more potential both from factory, and for the aftermarket crowd. The new GTO's are my absolute favorite cars second to only 2003 or later C-6's.
Everybody is always hatin' on the new GTO's, sayin we stole zeta and its an import, but wouldnt a lot of people be suprised if they took a close look at some early model HOLDENS! They been makin GPC looking wanna-be American cars for years so get over it.
And just as everybody is whining about that, GM is talking like they are wanting to make zeta here on U.S. soil now so, whats going to be everyones next complaint, not enough airbags?! See thats the entire problem we have with modern cars made in the USA, because federal safety regulations, its hard to put a hard core street machine into production without pissing and moaning coming from the "safety is priority 1" crowd.
And this same crowd BTW is happy with the fact they allow Ford Excursions to cruise down the highway with a 16 year old driver who cant keep it in a lane, all the same time right next to a Ford Escort holding a family of five!
If the GTO was made here it might not be such a good thing..Maybe they would hide an airbag inside the headliner, so when you get in an accident, it deploys and breaks your neck right at the base of your skull...
