Rear Drive Grand-Am GT!!!!!!!!!!

If I were running thing at Pontiac. I would have kept the Grand-Am two door GT. Convert it to rear wheel drive, put the Trans- Am motor/tranny in it. Let it go head to head again the Mustang. Don't know if it would be possible, but man just think of it. The car would be awesome

Well I guess that explains why you dont work for Pontiac. You pretty much described the GTO.

Yeah, that would have been nice except for the fact that the Tang was out selling both the Bird and Camaro combined, and by a wide margin.

So true, but you can get into a Tang for under 20 grand, Last I checked, the get in the door price for the GTO was around 30. To me the Pony car was alot of go for little dough!!!!

Loyal Pontiac owner. Just wish they would grow a set!!!

With that being said...with the GTO, I personally don't think you get a lot of go for the dough. I mean you get the nice V8 6spd combo but the bodywork the suspension the heavy structure that rattles with delight! I think Pontiac needed to put more thought into the GTO before they brought it back...Doesn't even stand out!

I was just drivin by my local Pontiac dealer the other day and was lookin at the GTO out in front. What came to my mind first was, this was a rear drive 2 door grand am with a V8 and bland body styling. Oh, and a higher price.

Hell, I bet someone with the money and resources could buy a used GAGT off a lot and go convert it to a rear drive V8 car for the same or less than the GTO.

Oh well, my .02...
