Some people don't get it. Whether a car is a clone or not, if it is done right, as the GTO is, and is not presented at a show or being sold as the real thing... Who cares. Enjoy it.

I have a 1970 GTO that was cloned into a Judge and love it. I don't hold it out as the real thing and enjoy it.

There is a person who posted that the under hood of my '78 TA is butchered. The holes serve a purpose so my car can idle.

The car is equipped with a FAST EZ 2.0 EFI system. The instructions require the shaker to be open to supply air to the EFI. The shaker is functional on my '78. Therefore, the flap is closed at idle and will not allow the engine to idle. This required the holes in the drop base unit which was necessary to accommodate the shaker because the intake manifold is an Edelbrock RPM Performer. By the way, the EFI works really good.

The holes give me a lot of power...590HP @5500 and 625TQ @4,000 from a 461 stroker. Thank you very much.......
