The fuel rail covers. The seats.

so those diffrences makes it a pontiac ?

What is your point? The same argument again. Does Pontiac still make cars? A '69 GTO might work as a driver for some, but not most people. Only an idiot would leave a nice vintage GTO unattended for any amount of time or put tons of miles driving to and from work in one. Would you have preferred that the Pontiac marque dissapear with the 265 and 301?

i bought it to enjoy it. and i do everytime i turn the key. im not gonna be like some and spend a lot of money to buy the car then spend 2 or 3 times as much to restore it for the car to sit in a garage.

Go and find a car with the same features as the new GTO. You'll have to get into a BMW to get a similar, overall car, but pay more than twice as much for it.

i could find a 4 banger import that costs just as much and is better in acceleration,handleing,and 1/4 mile times. theres somethign wrong with this picture. but i dont think i would buy either a import or new GTO.


The new GTO is more of an individual than ANY of the original ones, since back in the day, you could go buy 4 almost identical versions of the GTO (Chevelle, 442 and GS) with slightly different drivtrains and trim, not to mention the Tempests, Cutlasses, Skylarks etc, making a GTO look very close to a lot of other cars on the road.

but pontiac made the engine. you can say the same thing about a Z28,SS,T/A,Firehawk as well (modern car with slight diffrences and the same motor) accept the seats and fuel rail covers (i know thats a HUGE diffrence) but thats just the domestics that the new GTO looks like not to mention the imports. more individual huh ?

What car, can you go buy right now, that shares _anything_ with the new GTO (other than a Corvette)? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

what would you want to share with the new GTO ?
