Oh yeah!

I like it, it kind of looks like a cross between the '99 Concept GTO and the '04 GTO.

That is exactly what I was thinking also.

From my wife:
'It looks ok but not muscle enough, it should be bigger. It's like the mini
versions of muscle cars. I guess there are plenty of small fast cars it
just doesn't look like what I think a GTO should look like.'

Ok, I think I'll have to take her to see an '04 again so she can see how big they really are. 'Mini version'? 'Mini version'??

I don't know, it's a modern GTO you can't expect it to look like a '69 (or '65, or '73...), but, I definitely like this better than the '04.

I think the hood scoops need to be farther towards the front so they could be more effective, since it looks like it has a Ram Air intake. It needs to be more like the '99 Concept here.

Ditto

The wheels are too generic though, need to stand out a bit. Love that spoiler and the color of course.

I agree, I kind of like those big honeycombs on the '99 Concept, but it definitely needs some wheels that look different.

Okkk... You must have bad eyes. I see no resemblence to the Mustang at all.

I'd sell vacuums door to door if I had to in order to get a car payment scraped up! That is hot! GM makes that and I won't be able to resist anymore.

Who's eyes were that?

This cart is getting much closer for sure. But why not be real, it is becomming a Mustang clone. I think your eyes, or brain, is the one that needs checking.... :eek

HUMBLER · #33 08-21-2004, 08:14 AM

Well they are both 2 door coupes, I'll give you that GH.

I like it. Hopefully some one at GM will look at the positive comments the car is sure to generate and use it in the future. Building a great car is not rocket science. Get the consumer involved in the process and they will tell you exactly what they want.

Goathead forgot to finish my quote where I said I liked it. But yeah it does resemble the Mustang from the sides only!
This is what the sides reminded me of when I first saw it. (My brother has a Turbo '97 Mustang GT)

I still love that GTO though!

79, I like it too, but these guy's just can't face reality. It does look a lot like a Mustang...I never said that was bad, now did I?

The car looks better in stock form every time a new pic pops up.

BLANK1 · #40 08-23-2004, 07:37 PM

Can't they come up with something a little more original. Although, I dig the motor. Have you seen the new issue of Popular Hot Rodding. That Horton guy did a concept of a new GTO next to a new Charger. Looks good. Better than the orange car.
