Check out these pictures I found of a one off GTO from the Woodward Dream Cruise. The car looks amazing IMO.
Chaos in 1983!

I also think it looks awesome...much better than stock, I somehow think that the stock GTO doesn't quite live up to the original...it's way too boring...

Definately looks a lot tougher.

I've seen a couple of slightly modified ones around here (in Oz they're called Holden Monaros) but nothing like that. Very nice.

That looks pretty nice.....also not sure about those side vents.
Here are a couple of pics of Monaro's (or cars based on them) :

I don't know a lot about the mods on it but I know that it has a 6.3-liter V-8 engine with 500 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 500 lb.-ft. of torque at 5000 rpm.

I prefer the look of the Holden HSV in the pics above to the stock GTO.

definitely it looks great, in the same way as any ordinary monaro looks great as well, also the commodore, and the current opel omega/vauxhall carlton as well(the commodore and the omega has almost the same shape)....

I prefer the sleek and clean look of the Monaro.

Here are some high res images of it:

Looking past the fake legend status, it is still a RWD V8 coupe with some decent potential :)

I've driven a new goat and plan on buying one. I agree with the styling statements to a point... seeing it in person is alot more impressive. It drives great, has alotta pick-up and has a great tranny. The sound that comes from the engine is amazing, I've driving C5 'Vettes with the same engine and the Goat sounds alot better. And the interior is top-notch. I'm obsessed.
