Greg, you are correct, that is what GTO's were all about. But we need to put it in perspective.

The 1973 GTO was one of the fastest cars of 1973.

The 1974 GTO was one of the fastest cars of 1974.

Isn't that GTO tradition?

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.
