Stupid power stock, even stupider power with a small investment.

Then again, a 10-psi GTO has more potential than that, too. I’ve heard of a mild-setup STS GTO deep into the 10’s. ---

If that 16k deal is legit, jump on that and do the holden conversion, i’ve always wanted to go through with that idea in a few years. what would that be considered…an ADM conversion? like jdm. But personally i think the gto is a very cool car, tons of muscle but very understated in the styling, its almost classy, besides that fact that its a pontiac still. Thank god it doesnt have the shit pontiac interior like all the others.
