I have just read a lot of this thread and I must be bored to have done so. I am a die hard Pontiac guy (GTO's, Judges, Trans Ams) Mr-GTO and others stop trying to convince yourselves that the new GTO has a Pontiac engine. It may be a corporate block but it is more Chevy then any other brand. No Cadillac V-8 comments either please. And secondly the new GTO handles great, runs great but it looks like a Grand Am on Steriods simple as that. You have to look twice at one to realize it is a GTO on the street. Someone at GM dropped the ball on this car and it is a shame. Ford is going to kick some butt with their new designs. I was going to buy a new 05 GTO and decided not to . I am buying a new GT Mustang and with the 4,000 I am saving I am investing in a Paxton underhood blower kit (3,500) which will give me 450HP. See ya later GTO. I predict the new GTO will cease production in 06 and they will bring back the Camaro to compete with the Stang.
Here's the quote from GM's website regarding the LS-1
"GM's family of LS1 overhead-valve V-8 engines can trace its roots to the fabled Chevrolet small-block V-8, yet the LS1 is much more than an offshoot from the small-block family tree. The LS1 continues the small-block's longstanding virtues of compact size, simplicity, reliability and high specific output." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Glad you got that off your chest!!!!! Enjoy your new mustang.
