[QUOTE="scott r, post: 564500, member: 62870"] I'm going to stand by the fact that you should DRIVE the GTO before you say it doesn't deserve the title. The whole premise behind the original GTO was to get rid of a lot of the weight and bloat that the cars of the day had, and stuff a HUGE engine under the hood to get the best performance possible. Not much has changed. It's still relatively light and it has a massive engine (compared to your "average" car anyway) which makes it a rocket on wheels. This car may not be a huge chunk of steel/iron rolling down the road, with lots of creaks/squeaks/rattles, but it's true to its original heritage in the fact that it blows away the vast majority of cars on the road when the gas pedal is on the floor. This thing is DANGEROUSLY fast...just the way I like it and just the way it was the day the first GTO rolled off the line. ;) [/QUOTE]
