Power is definitely there, more low end, than an LS1. Def feels a bit faster than a stock LS1 F-body. Feels low 13’s, high 12’s. Handling is great. Ride comfort is amazing for this vehicle. Comparable to a BMW or a Cadillac CTS. Build quality is amazing. My buddy and I compared it to his 330ci today, and we pretty much believe the GTO is a nicer, better built car. Kudos to GM, you sold me. Congrats on a well built car. ---

Gray there is a dude in jersey running an 04 i think. With one of those rear mounted turbo’s running in the 10’s. You should check it out. I remember reading about it on [www.godragracing.com](http://www.godragracing.com) Maybe you can do a search and find out about it ---

I saw like 3 or 4 of them today. Got they are such a travesty to the name GTO. Fuck Pontiac for sticking a V8 in a RWD Grand Prix and slapping a namesake on it to try and make the thing sell. :down: ---

in 1966, Grand Prix’s were RWD, had a 389 cubic inch engine putting out 375hp, and a MANUAL FUCKING TRANSMISSION. You cant even get a new Grand Prix with a stick. In 66, the Grand Prix was a badass car. In 06, the Grand Prix is a forgetful, slow, bad handling, heavy, Not at ALL perfromance minded econo commuter car. See where I’m going with this? ---
