No Nova ever looked as good as the '74 GTO.

Plus when the 74's came out the GTO was tested against a Nova SS and the GTO was the hands down winner. I think I still have the magazine somewhere that this comparison was done. The GTO was around 2-3 tenths quicker in the quarter than the Nova, both automatics and the Nova had more gearing IIRC. Nothing against them from where I sit.

I was late in getting my 73GTO as the one I ordered didn't come in & then I had to w to get one after that. I love my 73 GTO & still have it . If I would have had a better paying job, I would have bought a new 74 to go along with my 73. But being in the Navy & making a wopping $ 368.00 a month I wasn't able to get another car , let alone another new car on that amount of money. I did think about trading my 73 in on a 74 GTO but just couldn't pull the trigger on it because I did/do really love my 73.

Looked at one back in the late 80s around Kent, WA. Blue, hatchback, maybe a stick car? Cool cars!

I guess we've got a bunch of friggen' Nova lovers around here!
![]() ![]() Just kidding. I'd own one. In fact, it was on my short list for cars to build into a F.A.S.T. racer. Nice and light- compared to an A-body.
