Originally posted by Marc Harbison: AMG Benz performance out of a stock GTO? Which AMG Benz are we talking about?

I asked the guy about what was done to the car and he said that it was all AMG... he hadn't messed with it a bit. Pretty car too!
Marc CLK55 AMG 1/4 13.14@108.07mph GTO Auto 1/4 13.85@101.4mph They said 85-90% besides, Id spend $46,000 less to go 7 tenths slower and be happy.

Hey hey fellas, I didn't say I wouldn't take the GTO over the Benz either...Actually, if I had $70K on a car, I know EXACTLY what I would do. I'd buy the GTO, spend $10K on mods, then buy a daily driver for $25K because I know that the GTO will only get about 14-15 mpg after I'm done with it Don't get me wrong, I love the car and would trade it in without hesitation for my GTP that I put some sweat into, pssht I'd even pay about 10K with the trade in...but right now, not much more than that...Go Pontiac!

Ok lets not get in to this vs that vs this... I mean come on -- My bud has a RWD Chevette that runs low 8s and is Street legal. The car was $38 and the mods less than $10K with the motor -- so you wanna talk about a sleeper! Anyway yes the GTO is badass... my dealer is getting 10! They say it is based on "Last" year Trans-Am sales - and being I am in a RED-NECK part of town they sold a lot of TAs They already sold the Black and Blue one and have a Yellow one on the floor. They are selling the car for MSRP no less -- no more... punks would not give me GMS or I would have one now

The Deal here has sold 2. And Have a 3rd on their showroom floor. He said they are slow to come in and semi-slow to sell --
I SAID I GUESS SO YOU ARE SELLING THEM $5000 OVER STICKER! an over-sized Cavalier for $38K -no way
Come on guys to pay more for a car than it will ever be worth is kinda silly. Expecially since next year they will be everywhere.
Now the C6 vette with the all aliminum 6L may be a nice thing to have first year but the H#$% I am paying more than MSRP for it.

I think the rear end looks almost like a riced out ford escort! The front end is similiar to the 04 grand prix

OOOPs I meant 2000 GP with different headlights. Im surprised that they only do a 13.53 1/4 mile. Many GTP's are doing more than that!

Hey, local dealer here in MD is on GTO #3. Bahamma blue. Doesnt look as bad as the brochure makes it out to be but I saw it being TEST DRIVEN on Saturday. THey didnt allow it with the first two they had. Guess either you need to be very serious or they are getting soft as they have 2 more inbound.

Where the heck are you in MD! I live in MD! Linthicum to be exact. And "my" dealer Swanson on Ritchie Hwy is also on their 3rd. They claim they are getting 10. Based on the last year Trans AM sales.
