Its a fast car, but it sure comes up short in the looks department. It'll come close to hanging with a VR4 past the quarter mile marker.

Re: Pontiac GTO WOW!!!!
It's an LS1 engine...same in the camaro SS, corvettes, trans ams, etc...usually low-mid 13s in those cars, so I'm assuming the same for the GTO. I've driven one at work, but I didn't get to really race it around, but it was quick.

ya, i was horrified by the looks! truly doesn't do justice to the legacy of the GTO. looks more like an old person oldsmobile or a wanna-be-cool pontiac.

a stock pontiac GTO will make good race with a first gen stock and might actually pull it a little, a second gen will have a bit more advantage. Add a MBC and its all the VR-4.

Re: Pontiac GTO WOW!!!!
GTO's arent just the LS1, they are the corvette LS1, and 1/2 way through the 1st model year they because the LS1 with the LS6 block. There are rumors of a new TT GTO that will be showing up at SEMA, I cant wait.

Re: Pontiac GTO WOW!!!!
GTO = POS, see them all the time here, can't believe they slapped that label on that oversized / overbeefed Cavalier. I thought the same about the Celica's, but then I read how in Japan the GT4 was pushing 265 HP stock, they just made it suck here. I love muscle cars, you can't match that off the line torque, but I love it even more when I see a TT 6 cylinder, beat the hell out of a muscle car that's running 11's.

so before you say celica's are weak, just remember that might be true, but toyota makes GOOD quality engines that LAST and can withstand tremendous abuse.
