I can come here and get shot down because my car looks like a Cavalier(at least to them), or I can go to ls1gto.com and be among people who are excited about the car for what it is. A great GT car. A Pontiac. And a blast to drive and own.
It's all good, but I wonder if they are missing out because of preconceived notions about what they think a modern GTO should be. Or perhaps they don't have any conception of what a modern GTO should be.

I agree that many are probably missing out due to their perception of the car. But there are quite a few well-respected and knowledgeable people on this board who either own a new GTO or have said they would like one. This site is focused primarily on older cars, so it's understandable that most members here will not get excited about our 400hp "jellybeans". Personally, I come here for the people and old car info. For the new car I generally stick to other sites.
