The GTO concept has a 6.3-liter V-8 engine with 500 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 500 lb.-ft. of torque at 5000 rpm. It also has a six-speed manual transmission, modified brakes, bigger wheels and tires and new exhaust. The bright orange exterior features a new hood, fender, quarter panel, spoiler, front and rear fascia and rockers.

The modified GTO is an "Employee Enthusiasm" vehicle, an internal volunteer program that gives younger GM engineers the opportunity to manage a concept car from start to finish. The first public showing for the concept GTO will be at a Woodward Dream Cruise press conference at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, Aug. 17 at Pioneer Park in Royal Oak. They will then be on display at Athens Coney Island throughout the Cruise.

It better NOT look like the 60's-70's. We don't
need any boxy, bulky, outdated looks.

"We" is evidently the person Nicks signature is aimed at, especially considering their last, (and first) 37 posts. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...n_rolleyes.gif http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

I think it looks great!! I like my 04 alot and even it's smooth looks, but I'm no dummy. That is the bomb. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

It may be hinting at the 06-07 design. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif

Still only one exhaust pipe? The front end does look great though.

That car looks awesome. Well now I can sleep
it doesn't look like the 60's GTO. That would
have been a shame.

Duals out both sides. The pic is just to dark. Has splitters like the 64 and 72 GTO's.

looks like a mustang with the scoop in front of the rear wheel. but a lot better then the 04. but not as good as it should .

i hear capacity is 389cubes, im just picturing it... 500hp , 500 tq..

the scoops, the bulges, the dish on the rims... awesome... I LOVE IT !!!

Wow! I like it! Love the front end and other body work. It does look like a 94-98 Mustang on the sides but that's ok. If this is the direction they are going, I would definately buy one in 3-4 yrs when I'm out of college. http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif
