And I guess some preprodcution cars have been drag tested.

A GTO with the Monaro computer ran a 14 flat and it was flat on it's face and the timing was only 22degrees. It basically ran horrible. It was an Auto too.

In another test, the properly tuned 6spd car was running a 12.95 by another magazine.

We shall see.....

sounds like it runs good, but it still pretty plain looking. In the years to come, I expect them to raise the bar a little on the looks department. I hope http://forums.performanceyears.com/g.../icon_wink.gif

Then in 70 or so years you might have people diving in to look for them... like that alleged load of Model Ts headed for export that sunk... http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...n_rolleyes.gif

Maybe they'll mix in some of them SS Luminas for added flavor. Then it'll be a complete boatload of crap. Sinking will be to good for it. Maybe the General can just fire all of there engineers and buy another mfg's car and rebadge them.

The article says it all, an Australian car with a Canadian engine to be called a Pontiac GTO. God, how sad http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...icon_frown.gif

If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

here is the full quote that Mr GTO is talking a bout in his post.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote">quote:<HR> Okay guys, just got back from our extensive testing session. As this is a GM car and we were technically forbade to do any work to it we could not utilize the LS1edit/EFILive or any of our Australian tuners reprog solutions. We were able to temporarily fake it out. The idea regardless was to evaluate a STOCK A4 goat, not a tuned one....yet.
This IS the first A4 GTO and we now believe that its early status led to a large mistake: The ECM's torque managment and abuse managment system was still programmed for the Monaro's 270 hp....not 350hp. Regardless we never got timing up to where it should be...the best we could do was 22* @ WOT compared to the LS1 vette we had out there which was running @ 29* in stock trim.
The OFFICIALS from GM say Thanksgiving Day is the official release date. We will be attempting to get a 6-speed to test before then and evaluate it. According to some inside sources another magazine has pushed one of the 6-speed test cars to 12.95 in the 1/4 mile. I can fully believe that since we were able to get a 14.0 in 99* ambient temperature with severe timing issues that caused the car to studder, bog, and run 2.3-2.7 sixty foot times (depending on how severly the abuse managment reacted).
You will all be amazed at the quality of the interior, the tightness of the body lines, and the appearance of the car in person. The Blaupunkt stereo makes the 95 Z28's Bose stereo (the best in my opinion) sound cheezy. The sound was soooo crisp and combined with a Cadillac quiet interior with NO squeaks or rattles it sounded great.
We will be posting a few photos on the about us page of our website in just a few days.

It's more rounded so penetration won't hurt as badly.

I'm really not offended by the car, but GM is a disappointment. I'd buy one used if the price is way down.
