Pontiac- Earns back my respect

[UNCLE-SID25]

Great job Pontiac!!

 

A 361hp car for under 30k! Thats what I am talking about... Now lose the 4 doors and your good to go. A step in the right direction though! Now if they can only make another GTO that does NOT look like an economy car I might start fearing one when I pull up next to one.

Did they stop making the GTO.? (was it only for one year.?)

[UNCLE-SID25]

They stoped making it a few years ago... Are they coming back GOAT?

[[RIP]saint52]

My bro has a GTO and loves it.

I was giving this car some attention on the last commercial I saw it on.

Nice looking.

bahh.. i will give you that you get pretty decent "bang" for you buck.. and granted i dont know much about the g8 other then the 1000 commercials that they pound into your head during the NCAA tourney.. but still not enough to turn me into a pontiac fan..

 

:-X

My Pontiac is great, I don't take care of her like I should but she has never let me down once and I'm almost to 60k.

Ford all the way baby!!! You think a GTO looks cool? wait til I'm done restoring my 69 fastback. ;D

Yes they are Sid, at least there has been some underground reporting since GM isn't saying much.

Internal name for the GTO is GMX282.

 

"The next GTO will carry over the 6.0-liter, 400-horse LS2 from the current car as well as the six speed manual transmission."

 

I love that part but if they put four doors on a GTO that's going to suck!

 

I've called my local Pontiac dealer a couple of times already asking about this.... so far he doesn't know anything, waiting to see what the do.

 

P.s. Prane-- Yes I think a GTO looks cool.. AT least my 69 does.

^^^ That smokes everything ford has put out with the exception of the GT and GT500.

 

I am super excited about the new GTO too. Especially if they go with the current trend of staying true to the original designs from the muscle era.

[Chili327]

I LOVE the look of the new GTO (not new, but latest) & i had a friend in high school that had a sweet one so i have a soft spot for the old ones..

 

Man does this pic bring back memories..

 

 

 

What you think of this one Goat.? :-\

What do you think of this one goat?

 

I think I just creamed my pants.....

 

 

[SOTG Zero]

This G8 is taking for the Grand Prix, right? It looks like Pontiac is moving in a good direction... The G8's look awesome!!! They need to start making them in the US though... Made in Australia right now. Also, some paddle shifters would be pretty sweet! You guys are pretty too old school and rather have that stick, right? lol.

 

What do you think of the G8 ST?

 

 

I can't see myself driving one of those! lmao.

[Chili327]

That looks like an Australian car. lol
