The GTO's are decent cars. I would never ever buy one though on the grounds that they call it a GTO. It's not even an original chassis. It's built from the holden chassis. It doesn't have the a$$ behind it to be able to seriously throw the GTO badge on it. Piss Poor taste for Pontiac IMHO.

It's fast. That's just a poor choice of marketing if they want to show the performance of the brand. I mean Ford recently did a trilogy video with the Ford GT and an 05 Mustang GT. That was impressive you could see and hear the real power there. Sorry but a Vibe just doesn't cut it. The GTO was pretty cool in that video though.

yeah I agree... 350 hp, 365 tq... the LS1/Z06 tranny combo has to be one of the sweetest out there today!... I kinda like how its unassuming... but the exhaust rumble should be amazing, I found an article that said they tuned the exhaust note for 14 or 15 different situations (start-up, in car noise, drive by).. and they kept it right at the 80dB limit, which I guess is the lowest in some state

I think the car is simply bad ass. I would own one!
But probably not before I get into a 300C HEMI.

i'm not a pontiac guy so i had a hard time telling which car was which, IMO, they all looked too similiar.
