widebody gto

I saw a show on Speed Channel last weekend that was dedicated to the GTO.
Some interesting notes…

The GTO is made to compete in the M5 market.:lol:

The original GTO lovers are mad because the new one doesn’t have hood scoops .:smash2: (I guess hood scoops give more muscle)

[MonteCarloChick]

The new ones have scoops?

@TrueBlue

IIRC that was a PR car done up by GM, I think there was a blue colorado that was built as well.

still, love that look.

im not a fan of the retro idea for cars. Why not just give them a whole new name so people arent trying to compare cars that are 30-40 production years apart. Whats so wrong with them just having a totally new car? Is it so people can get boners over saying yea man i have a GTO… er charger er what ever cars came back from the DEAD. they stopped making the origionals at one point in time for a reason, and im sure its not because they were selling like hott cakes!

[HotRodKid]

maybe because good memories sell shit better then sex does ???

They were. It just got too costly.

Car styling nowadays is repulsive. And I agree that bringing a car back like a GTO and having have not look anything like the original is lame and they should be badged as something different. At least the new Mustangs have kept true to the old bodylines for the most part.

[HotRodKid]

^^^ whats even worse is when a company does SHITTY retro style

for example, the “2008 gto” concept

also… the 96 body style mustangs … with those rounded out side scoops … FUCKING GAY … the car as a whole is cool … but the scoops were a piss poor excuse for retro style. if i ever owned one id be forced to cut shit apart and square it off a bunch

I don’t care what they call it. It’s the price tag that bothers me. 10 grand more for a Camaro that looks like a GTP??? (I know, I know, the goat’s better in eleventy-billion ways…)

If I were in that market I’d be all sorts of pissed off at the General for making me buy a moosewang GT for 6-10 grand less.

The wide body is a start… but like what has been said already.

@Tkklemann

I find it amusing that GM can make a car sooo different, yet it looks damn near the same.

The new GTO is an embarrassment to Pontiac if you ask me, cause it makes it painfully obvious they can’t come up with new styles.

That oragne one is the hotness.:tup:
