Anyone else think though that this looks 1000 times better then Rhys' car? O_o

nissanguy_24 · 03-27-2004, 02:36 PM

Maybe its just the grey on black but it looks meaner and more sleak. Like a shark....

baboon's a$$ · 03-27-2004, 02:45 PM

looks a hell of a lot like a bimmer

It still looks like a pretty big car.. lol but i guss that cant be helped? although im sure its not too much worse then a Z car or a G35.. i've been eyeing those thinking the G35s Coupe is pretty damn sexy.. just makes me want the new skyline more.

You should send your pic into pontiac, maybe they will take the advice, because it does look very nice.

duo001 · 03-27-2004, 04:19 PM

Damn. That looks awesome.

bdjoe · 03-27-2004, 07:58 PM

If going on solely looks, I'd probably omit the wing. My personal preference.. Other than that, pretty good

REsuperG · 03-27-2004, 08:43 PM

doesnt look bad has some coolness to it

03-27-2004, 10:20 PM

I'm not much of a domesticon-fan but the front of the GTO looks half decent but those side skirts and the rear bumper have got to go.. the rear bumper especially- it makes the rear of the car look twice as high as if it now has double the capacity trunk space?! Sup with that?? IMO, this car in stock trim looks a lot cleaner than what you see above... http://www.pontiac.com/gto/360.jsp?b...=models_prices

Also if you check out pontiac.com and click on GTO> specs... here you will find what I thought was pretty fun-e:: * Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. Tax, title, license, dealer fees, $1,000 gas guzzler tax and optional equipment are extra. Gas guzzler tax is required only with automatic transmission.

Gas guzzler tax? LOL that's what you get for driving a V8.

I'm guessing this is one HEAVY weighted car...

nissanguy_24 · 03-27-2004, 11:38 PM

i cant agree with you there with the looks, i think this GTO is very nice looking.

iownju · 03-28-2004, 09:52 AM

it looks okay, id probably have to see more pics of it, to really get a feel for it...

mranlet · 03-28-2004, 10:24 AM

How did you RWD a Grand Am? Or is that a Bonneville?

Seriousally - big cars are hot going sideways!

I have a friend who drifts his G35 Sedan, and did so with 5 of us in the car.

Do you have more pictures that weren't taken in the dark?

-MR

nissanguy_24 · 03-28-2004, 10:27 AM

its not a real photo guys lol

baboon's a$$ · 03-28-2004, 11:39 AM

yeah you can tell by the way the hood and the front bumper don't quite mesh together.

zdss14 · 03-28-2004, 12:25 PM

that does look better than it is right now, and the front does look a lot like a bimmer. i think the gtos styling is to plain for a muscle car, it looks like eney other pontiac, i hope they make it look like some concepts i saw that would be cool

Looks like it just hopped on the bandwagon =\

WildSe7en · 03-30-2004, 06:28 AM

I'd prefer something more along the lines of this...

Sexxxxxaaayyyy!

soultron · 03-30-2004, 07:05 AM

ok that's just hot.
what series is that thing from?

WildSe7en · 03-30-2004, 07:17 AM

It's a World Challenge GT car.

CRASHDRIVE · 03-30-2004, 11:19 AM

Wow, what series is that going to race at? I watch a lot of speed channel and I have not seen that in any race yet. Is not going to debut next year? It's kind of in the middle of the season already to debut ain't it?

Tsunami · 03-30-2004, 01:07 PM

That red GTO is GOREGEOUS!!! Now THAT'S what Rhys's car should look like!! Only thing that I would need change would be make the hood c/f, enlarge the lower opening for better cooling and add some wheels like these.

SilverGhost · 03-30-2004, 08:56 PM

the first one is decent, the second better, but i think the second one looks alot like a holden commador from the V8 super car series in Australia

that's bacause it is I think. the gto is based off of some australian car and I think that's it.

Glenn · 04-01-2004, 12:10 AM

Ill tell all you guys whats going on. The Pontiac GTO, is infact an exported version of our (australia) own Holden Monaro, but with a different nose. I dont know about you, but i think the Aussie version has a much more sexy nosepiece.

Silverghost: At the momment, the only thing the Monaro/GTO is officially racing in is the Bathursst 24hr race, tuned to 650hp i belive with the 7 litre V8. The V8 supercars are based on production car sedans, the holden commodore, and ford falcon.

Official Holden Bathursst 24hr Entry, 7 Litre Monaro

The Stock Monaro

And the HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) GTS Coupe. This is a production car, pulling 300kw from the showroom with a 5.7liter V8, also featuring 19x9's and a VERY drift happy suspension setup.

And finnaly, when it comes to simple slide action, i dont think much beats the 255kw (i think) SS Ute, with a VERY VERY loose rear end

Well im done

REVLIMIT · 04-01-2004, 10:33 AM

*drool* man I love HSV they build some bad *Censored**Censored**Censored* cars. Personally I like the Commodor better...4 door LS1 rwd O_o

EvilEwok · 04-01-2004, 10:54 AM

The Holden looks alot better than the GTO does. In my personal opinion.
