the engine may have some power...but its going to need it...the gto will have the typical gm overweightness to it...i can't remember the actual weight,but it is waaay too heavy...handling will also probably suffer from the porkiness...and with a price tag rumored to be around $35k,waaay too much $$ for what's being offered imo...
at least pontiac was able to control their batmobile plastic trim fetish with this car for the most part...
