Plus when the 74's came out the GTO was tested against a Nova SS and the GTO was the hands down winner. I think I still have the magazine somewhere that this comparison was done. The GTO was around 2-3 tenths quicker in the quarter than the Nova, both automatics and the Nova had more gearing IIRC. Nothing against them from where I sit.
