...........absolutely incredible.


I love my 2004 even if it only has a LS1 engine. I drives beautifully and kicks butt and takes names at traffic lights. I had a 1965 GTO as my first new car back in 65 and I can guarantee this one stops better is quicker and faster and gets better mileage, The 65 is much better looking though.

I loved the '67 for looks. Got to be one of the best looking cars ever. And the 400 ci., 4 bbl was a great engine. A friend related that his father modified their '67's engine by mounting the intake manifold and 6-pack from a '66 on it. Made awesome power. The 389 and 400 were exactly the same engine. Pontiac bored the 389 out to

400 and put the 4 bbl carb on it to comply with the GM edict of no more multiple carb cars.

All that being said, I love my 2005 GTO. Great power and good handling and acceleration. Very comfortable to drive or ride in. I traded my '97 Firebird convertible for the Goat. I miss the ragtop, but am really happy I made the trade.

Damn shame they made them so damn ugly.

The Original Holden Monaro looks a lot better. Pontiacizing it ruined the smooth look IMHO. Here is what it was supposed to look like:

IMO, the new Camaro is a horrible looking monstrosity. Maybe it will look better in real life.

After reading this, I checked out the Chevy sight, and they have a god-awful Flash animation page with pictures so close you can't even tell what the hell the new Camaro looks like....so I have no opinion. GW

Nice, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side..... :)
