I dont care what other peoples stock cars run, one runs 12's and the other 11's.
When you see a cobra out in the street do you say...Damm look at that stock 13 sec monster!?
Do I have to remind you what a stock 98 firebird runs? you dont want me to, because just like me you dont give a rats ass

I don't get goosebumps when I see a trans am, camaro, or GTO. I love the ws6 trans am's though. But a GTO makes me wanna barf. They're just so.....plain. There's nothing about that car that says muscle until you pop the hood. I don't really care how many valves or cams or whatever the fark it has. point blank, it's a 6L v8 with 400hp that runs 13's. That's just whack period.

and I hope you were being sarcastic about that 400rwhp comment with just a CAI and no mufflers. I really hope so.

And yet untill the 6.0 liter GTOs came out guess what the fastest GTO ever was?? the 04 LS1 with 350 hp!! Thats the way the GTO has always been.. Have a shit load of power but run slower then it should due to the weight!! If you call these new GTO's running 13's with 400 hp I wonder what you think about the old ones that run 14's-15's with 450hp!!

not callin ya stupid. LOL And yea, the older ones were running 14's and 15's but they were GORGEOUS. The main argument here about the new GTO is that for the supposed hp numbers, it should be faster, and the styling is just plain shitty. It ruined the GTO tradition.

It's not that bad until I compare it to the old classic. That's when it becomes "that bad."

It's not a BAD looking car persay. it grew on me a tad bit. But I still dislike it's look altogether. I kinda love to hate it.

How is it suppose to run faster when it weighs so much?? Hell the 03-04 cobras ran low 13's high 12's and they had more power then a new GTO!! I have seen stock 03 cobras dyno 360-370hp, I have seen stock 05 GTO's dyno 340-345rwhp!! Have you drove a New GTO?? I didnt like them at 1st then I test drove one.. after that I wanted one and still want one so badly..
