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

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...

I would take one of the older models in a instant.

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.

the HSV300 GTS looks similar

but there are quite a few modded ones in sydney. prolly see one everyday

SilviaEvo 08-24-2004 01:51 AM

looks better than normal but im kinda sketchy on the side vents

Fleischmann 08-24-2004 02:51 AM

Nice..kinda reminds me of the MG SV after first glance...any info on the mods ??

dingo 08-24-2004 03:16 AM

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.

Ford Capri 2.8i 08-26-2004 05:02 PM

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:

There is a blue GTO in Houston getting a 550hp+ 427 treatment - it will be great to see whan MTI suts it loose on the world... :twisted:

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

Hey, stop pointing out its good qualities.

i dont like it being called the goat, but i still love its characteristic muscle! couldnt say it better myself :)

noliebro 09-15-2004 12:21 AM

that is a beautiful car, wow seriously

PeleProdigyGTO 10-01-2004 06:21 PM

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.
