I want so bad!!!!! That car is frickin gorgeous... I think they did an excellent job... I just wish I had a lot of $$$ so I could buy one

I think I'm falling in love...

It'd be sweet to buy that car and then retrofit a genuine Holden front end on it. IMO the Holden version looks nicer, and you'd have a unique (but not riced) looking car. The Holdens are very tasteful, simple, elegant. You look at that car and its just not a Pontiac!

Not that it matters, since they aren't shipping them north of the border. wtf

Little blurb about the show cars:

Sporting a special high-gloss paint in red or yellow, the GTO show cars exhibit the strong Pontiac brand character with a signature dual-port grille and a wide aggressive stance. The vehicles ride on 18-inch alloy wheels. They also sport a high-performance powertrain that makes the vehicle worthy of the "GTO" name.

Under the hood is a specially tuned LS1 5.7-liter V-8 aluminum-block engine currently estimated at 340 horsepower @ 5200 rpm, 360 lbs.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm with an appropriately tuned Pontiac exhaust note. While sharing the same basic engine configuration with the base-level Chevrolet Corvette, the LS1 engine in the GTO has been modified with a high-lift camshaft and increased airflow induction to create greater horsepower and low-end torque than the Holden Monaro to address the needs of U.S. drivers.

All that power is mated to either an electronically controlled Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission or the six-speed, close ratio manual transmission available on the Corvette ZO6. Both transmissions feature the same low-geared 3.46 final drive axle ratio in a rear-wheel-drive configuration to maximize off-the-line performance, a limited slip differential, and a three-channel traction control system designed to help enhance vehicle control.

Although performance testing on the vehicle has not been completed, the production model GTO is expected have a zero-to-60 acceleration time of less than 6 seconds and run the quarter-mile in approximately 14 seconds at a speed of 105 mph. The top speed of the vehicle is estimated to be about 160 mph.

Left hand drive with a metric guage cluster? Are you sure that isn't the Canadian version? Everywhere else that uses metric has right hand drive, correct?

Yeah... I'm not sure whats up with that.

Looks very nice. It almost looks like a Dodge Avenger from the side.

How come the GTO can have a spoiler that goes over the side. Unlike the SC/T spoiler that GM cut off before they sold it to the public? I really like the front too. I wonder what the price will start at.

Cuz the GTO doesnt have an antenna on the rear 1/4 to hit the spoiler

The SC/T cars had shaved antennas, hence the wider spoiler was ok.

What's up is this is one of the early Manaros that they used for a mock up. They were all RH drive when they showed up.

badassgrandam99 · 01-03-2003, 09:47 AM

...i see two tips, but it doesn't have dual exhaust.. it's only got the exhaust on the driver's side... i thought for sure it'd have pipes coming on both sides of the rear bumper...

Mike3800 · 01-03-2003, 09:49 AM

I officially predict that they will not stay on the lots for long if any make it there without being pre-ordered. The car guys at GM right now apparently have their hands tied behind their backs and are gagged with duct tape and the bean counters are in control, but, if the GTO is actually advertized (quick: name your favorite F-body commercial over the past 5 years!! hmmmm.... why did no one buy them?) it will sell like hotcakes, and the limited production will sell out pretty fast.

Why the dual side exhuast...I like the quad?
