The GTS was the top level HSV to start with, but they couldn't give them away. The GTO was the opener. The term "entry level" applies.
And yes, 5 seconds to 60 is fast but put that engine in a mail truck and it would be fast too.
I can assure you that Holden calling one of their Monaro's a GTO had NOTHING to do with Pontiac calling their import a GTO. Nobody here new anything about a Holden HSV GTO in 2004 (or now....) and considering how many they sold in Australia, few people down there did either.
