That is going to be one scary car when it comes out. It is too badass!

I read somewhere that this car may qualify for Gas Guzzler tax! That sure wouldn't do wonders for GM's sales!

No car will ever look like a 60's car again, but it's going to have 300+ HP. It's way better than the leftover 90s Grand Ams with ribbing on the sides.
2000 SE fleet, V6, ATX, ABS, no spoiler, T-Green/tan. Built 01/2000 in MO.
Added 12 spoke factory SE rims, K&N. Biggest mod: ESP Plan!

Sharp looking car but, I heard it is going to weigh around 3650#, near what a 2003 Cobra weighs with LESS power. The '05 Mustang will be out mid '04 with a new DEW-Lite chassis, GT will have independent suspension and 300+ hp. I'll wait for that to come out

Looks like a Supra crossed w/ a new 350Z and a BMW! I guess I just hate Pontiac! Anything they produce I'll probably hate

Looks too much like a cavalier, only slightly bigger. The pictures I have seen of the Australian version are even worse. I don't believe in purposefully designing a car to look old, but there should be references to old car inherent in the design as a link to the past.
Subframe Connectors, H&R's, Koni's, Rage 5.0 17's, Pole Position Tires
Removed Resonator,KKM Intake,ShoShop Y-Pipe
3 liter to be built by Terry Haines or BNoon one of these days...

Us Aussies know how to design a car Its called a Monaro over here (long history as an Aussie sports car), they're the talk of the industry since they came out. If anyone wants to see/read about the Aussie version, have a look at www.hsv.com.au or www.holden.com.au. I think they'll have a 300kw engine in them....not sure what that is in hp. The Australian Monaro GTS has that engine, so I think the American GTO is also getting it. If not, you'll probably get the 255kw LS1.

Sorry, looks way to close to a sheet metal Grand Prix. That nose is too old.
