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.

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)....
