There were tens of thousands of 1964-1972 GTO's built that were slower than 1973-1974 GTO's.
Nobody stated that 1/4 mile times had anything to do with what a real GTO is. But the simple fact is that the 64-72 GTO's are perceived to be better performing cars than the 73/74's. Isn't that why the GTO (and all other Musclecars) became popular initially because of their performance??

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
