me to :boink
thats cool for you ford guys… not cool for us GM guys. i’m glad to see it doesn’t die though. these terminator cobras are pretty friggin sweet cars.
thats cool. i’d like to see a cobra. that kinda sucks about the Lightning though. they should just go manual trans only anyway. oh well, i wasnt too big on the new body styling though…i prefer the 02 look
and the funny thing is all you domestic guys can thank us import guys for the fact that:
- The Camaro is coming back
- THe GTO came back
- There is a horsepower war going on and the companies are sending out cars with 500hp. (remember 10 years ago when the Cobra put out 250hp).
maybe…i see your point. but wasnt it the import/ sport compact movement that hurt the sales of the domestic sportscars to begin with?
10 years ago the 4th gen camaro came out with the z28 at 275bhp…cobra was nothing special 10 years ago…not like it is today…gto came back b/c pontaic didnt have anything to go with the vette b/c of the termantion of f-bodys…horepower war has been going on for ever!!! its just now that the car companies r now trying to out do each other…none of the power wars was do to some stupid kids driving around in there 89 hatch back civic
that’s what you’d think if you drive an f-body
think about it and think about the ‘scene’ in the past say… 3 years and then look at car companies… i’m going to say that someone’s hatchback was noticed and that’s why the GTO exists… it’s a step up from a cavilier which was the competition to the hatch…
r u sure thats why the gto came out…to compete with kids buy cars for 5 grand and making them fast!!! i think gto came out b/c no more f-bodys and pontaic needs something thats fast and is a top runner!!! mainly b/c the fact that ppl buy more v6 mustangs than f-bodys and the numbers went down…idk…maybe the fact that a movie came out and made ppl think they can sup up there moms old civic and thats what put the bullet in the f-body…but as to some f-bods and some mustangs are still best bang for buck
and i still say there was always a big power war between companies…just not much power during certain time periods b/c of what the world was going through!!!
the gto has been in austrailia,came here to compete with the cobra!
they change the name to GTO here in the states<cobra
94-95 cobra was underrated… it actually put down 285hp
1995 cobra vs 1995 Z28… cobra wins
basically what he’s saying is the current Pontiac GTO you see now, was actualy the Holden Monaro, over in Australia. The car has been out like that since 1998.
GM needed a quick solution to the RWD Sport Coupe V8 market. So importing their Holden Monaro was the easiest solution.
Holden = GM of Australia.
what about the late 95 camaro with 285hp???
what about the 225hp foxbody :kekegay:
