I never imagined that I would own a car that would run a 10 sec 1/4. Much less one that would do it with Dot tires with no power adders. Still has all the accessories, and A/C and gets 18 mpg. Still on factory short lock, motor has never been out of the car.

the monaro, to me, looks like it was a nova not an 'A' body.
the monaro also dissappeared for twenty years reappearing on an opel omega "B" chassis, also not an "A' body. so i dont believe that its the "natural evoloution of the "A" body". they just brought back the name "monaro" and then "GTO" and stuck them on cars. this is only what i have read. anyway...i'm glad they did. i wasnt crazy about the new GTO's but i still point out every one i see. young people who wouldnt have known what a GTO was, now know, and give our old cars more respect. and it makes a good showing. most powerful/fastest ever. back to the topic tho... i thought it was neat that someone was drawing up GTO's. someone was trying. someone was imagining a pontiac and not a chevy or a mustang, thats all. the more i look at it, i see what you dont like. |

 Early 70's Nova:  I think the monaro looks closer to your car, if you ask me. Late 60's vintage Monaro:  Late 60's Nova:  You are right about the Monaro disappearing for a period of time - but not even close to 20 years. It went out of production in '77 and came back on a new V8 RWD platform in 2001. |

Don't forget, the '74 GTO was on a "X" body. No telling what "evolution" would have taken it to. Thankfully, there was not a 1980 GTO based on the FWD Phoenix.

Jeff,
If I see a chevy in a Pontiac I just walk away. Don't care how nice the car is. My #1 pet pev.

Wow! 5 pages of continuing discussion so far from a picture of a conceptual abortion.

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.
