Glad to hear of all the changes, Dan.

It is definitely on my radar for my next possible car.

I'm hoping the released version is as good as you guys say and maybe I'll get a peek at the GForce at GPG this year! [Rotate]

He did in fact say the 19's will not make it to the production version, but he did say "If you look, you see they fit just fine, 20's would work fine too" The DIC will show a 4 line description for Engine lights. The throttle will also be drive by wire. www.cattie.com/pe400.htm has some pix.

Anyone know what the dial next to the shifter is for? You can see it in this picutre http://www.cattie.com/images/PE400/DCP01103.JPG

My guess is it's for going through the menu's on the new DIC... I'm guessing the DIC will be like what's in the Bravada? With alot of text you can maneuver through... but does anyone know for sure?

Vortec,

I agree. I think its like a mouse / joystick for the onboard computer. If you have seen the 7 series BMW, I'm thinking that its GM's interpretation of the same thing.

The guys from Pontiac didn't elaborate on that particular feature, so I can't say for sure what it is.

Here's a more close-up view of it:

I do like the fact that they are going back to deep cup holders like on the 96 I had. That is probably the one thing that I dont like about the current gen.

I'm glad they're going back to REAL cup holders. You don't realize the importance of something until its gone!

The current gen cupholders can't hold my most of the mobile coffee cups that I use - which can be a pain in the butt!

Well, at least its a sign that Pontiac is listening to the little things as well as the big savewave

What kind of wheels are on the G-Force? Are they an aftermarket wheel? Were they 18's? Did you note the tire size? smile

The wheels are aftermarket and they're 19's. I'm not sure of the tire size; I don't have a clear enough picture of it. I believe the consensus is that 17's will be an option on the G-Force.

Good shots - thanks for posting. The car's launch is only a few short months away. Good thing lots of mods already work on the car! Don't have to waste time coming up with a lot of new ones.

Some comparo shots:

Two door vs. four doors steers you towards the GTO? Not the RWD? Or manual tranny? Or... 300+ HP V8? smile I'm not being steered, I'm being DRIVEN towards the GTO for those very things. smile

GTO and GTP are very different animals.
