Maybe not on the outside... but under the hood there is, and that's what I was lookin at!JPK said:I think they could have put a bit more thought into the exterior styling of the GTO.
There's nothing that really seperates it from the GA and GP.
I haven't raced one yet but I will as soon as I get the chance.
I test drove a GTO and a Red Line on the same night, back to back and if the dealer didn't try to screw us so bad on our trade-in, there would be a GTO in the garage instead of the Red Line. That's OK, I'm still thinking an 05 in the fall when the rebates come around again and this time there is more HP and little stylin' upgrades. I thought the car was lacking in the looks dept at first, too. The more I see them on the road, the more I like them.JPK said:I think they could have put a bit more thought into the exterior styling of the GTO.

It's like I told the guys at work, I test drove both the GTO('04) & ION Red Line on the same stretch of interstate and I am a firm believer that the GTO will NOT out run a RED Line. The GTO will always be staring at the little Saturn just a few car lengths behind him. Now the '05s with the 50 extra HP, they might put a little extra stretch on the Satty, but no way will a GTO lose it on a stretch of road. And realistically, I don't think they would ever get to use the extra 14 MPH top end potential they have over the RED LINE. I've gone the 140MPH on a resurfaced Interstate and don't think I'd like doing 158 on the same stretch. I have gone 182MPH in a drag car and dragstrips are built way different and are a much better riding surface at those speeds.GP/GT said:
What a minute here. GTO's are running in the mid 13's. A C6 vette runs in the high 12's and Z06 runs in the very low 12's. So I call BS on you for saying that a GTO hangs with Vettes.GP/GT said:
I'm calling total BS on this one, or you're failing to mention some more details. I have owned 5 F-bodies, currently own a 327 '90 'modifed' RS. I can assure you that if you 'embaressed' a Redline, then he either didn't know how to launch, or something else happened. Are you possibly forgetting to mention that he smoked his tires all the way into second gear? Not to mention that an 1/8 mile track is garbage, all that is telling me is that your RWD and better Diff helps you hook up better. Which it sure as hell should. The original story didn't take place in the staging lanes of a drag strip either did it? Nope it was at a stoplight or something. Oh, and last I checked 'flowmaster exhaust' work on an underrated F-body is worth just a 'couple' of horsepower. On my '77 Vette it's worth almost 50 with the headers. Sorry, not a fan of the 1/4 mile either, I like to drive a car, not just press the gas pedal and shift 3 times. Again, take the chip off the shoulder and put it in the glove box.ThatChevyGuy said:
