Has anyone here gotten to test drive/drive or be a passenger in a new Pontiac GTO? I'm wondering because I park next to one almost everyday and the thing just sounds mean when its on and would love to know what its like to be in one of those things.

42.5#, i was gonna run the 65# but then id have to upgrade the fuel pump to be able to push that much fuel.
Also i forgot to add i was running 105 springs instead of the stock 90's.

stock 6.0 gto's would be running mid 13's. and he said it was supercharged so I can easily see it leaving him at the stages like he said.

Talk to Elen... 3 of his roommates now have GTO's. 1 is a 5.7, 1 is a 6.0, and the other is a 6.0 twin turbo. I rode in the twin turbo. It was unbelievable.

I had driven an 03 GTO in Savannah. It was the 350, and DUUUDE that thing was BAAAAD!!! Smooth yet responsive ride. Well engineered. I was expecting more of a refined appearence, though. Looked real plasticky (not a word, I know. It works, though...).

Co-worker has one. 6.0 6-speed. He has wheel hop issues when shifting to second if he is really on it with street tires. I've seen lots of automatics be faster and more consistant at the race track due to this, but they also have a higher stall converter.
They are fast, handle very good, well mannered for a daily driver and easy to mod. The back seats are even not so bad.
IMO, stock exterior is weak, even with the "ram air" hood scoops. They need exterior mods to set them off as a muscle car, unless you are going for a sleeper look.
With the right exhaust, the sound can make me feel like I'm 15 and seeing my first porno.

The 04 GTO runs mid 13's with the LS1 ,05 LS2 runs low 13's ,and I can tell you with headers and intake and DR's your in the 12's,the LSXX motors take very little to make them perform ,I own both a GTO and a GP and the feal and sound of a RWD V8 can't be beat,and do'nt compare apples to oranges with equal mods we all know who will win.

You'd think that the GTO that big of engine could lay it down to our cars but I guess not if you have a GTP modded.

The magazines were able to rip off a low 13 sec run. http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/#/gallery/ Just think all these 14 to 13 second cars out now compared to when the GTP rolled off the line 11 years ago!!!! Not much out there to challenge Pontiacs midsize sedan.
