Nah, me liking it is not going to happen, no matter what kind of horsepower it puts out. Or how many scoops they add to it.

Motor trend has the new vette running 12.80s at 112 weighing 3100#. With the extra weight of the gto,it'll still be looking at my taillights. At 12.80s so will the vette. I can't wait for the new lightning, this is going to be fun. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Actualy, GM High Tech Performance just did an 11.97 in the new LS6 vette - bone stock, didn't even remove the air filter. Even with the added weight, that's still a good indication that the GTO is going to run 12's off the showroom floor. A few mods, a cam swap, and 11's here I come...

400 hp with a 15% loss for the standard tranny, what's the big deal? Is'nt that about right?  <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
The big deal is when was the last time you saw a GTO with 400hp from the factory? Oh that's right never, until now.

Yessir. I'm humbled, embarrassed, and in awe of your knowledge and debating talent. Your spelling and the way you articulate your well thought out points speaks well of you also.

You have issues, seriously. Ask yourself why
you respond as you do..

Amen - everytime someone starts a topic on the '04, now the '05 GTO, some infant has to come along and bash the new GTO or start talking about supercharged Rustangs! Grow up guys!

Got me. Geez, I'm feeling bad now.
"David, is fun being stupid?"
Saved a few letters on that zinger I guess.
"Funny, I thought GM Powertrain made the motors in Canada."
Maybe they do. I said nothing about that.
Now my favorite.....
"Then again, you are from Alabama. Explains a great deal."
Coming from an "Internet Super Slueth" that statement means a lot. Another "poser" busted.....

>From the factory? The Holden factory. Where they make Holdens. With Chevy motors.
Hahahaha. STFU XD
Seriously, I can't understand why some people get so worked up over the corporate engines. So, it's a 'chevy' because it's based on the smallblock? Well, shoot, you're absolutely right!
Now stop whining. ^___^

OK
Self, why do you respond as you do?
After much thoughtful speculation, self replies, a quality conversation with Mr_GTO (internet super sleuth)has that affect on me.
