drove the 04 pontiac gto today.... wow
so today at work( I work at a dealer body shop) we got a red gto that had gotten scratched off the truck. when it came in everyone was like omg and lets drive it around. we all got our turn and wow that car has some giddy up. i was very impressed with the traction control and even more impressed with it off. made my heart race when i got into her. any way just wanted to let you guys know, i would recomend a test drive to anyone who liked the Ls-1 engine they have done a great job with it. in my opinion the blue is the best color but i cant be picky. try one out some time. its a blast.

Was it a personal car, or was it from a dealer? What are they gonna say when there's 50 more miles on it when they get it back?
I saw my first GTO about a month ago, definately a cool car. That's still the only one i've seen...maybe I can get my Dad to go look at one.

Definetly a sweet ride. Most notably the handling is superb now in addition to the power. Only problem in my mind is it doesn't have the bad boy feel all the T/As and camaro's did.

C'mon Yanks, we drive these things all day every day. It's an Aussie-built GM Holden coupe with a couple of changes to suit you guys. We race 'em in a V8 Supercar series mostly against Ford GT Falcons (yep, we still got them too !) and they push out some serious mumbo and handle too.
Just wait til you see the 4WD version of the Coupe (6.0 secs to 62 mph on loose dirt or wet road!). You can view the whole range at www.hsv.com.au . Go buy 'em, we need the revenue !!! |

I thought everyone knew this, but the GTO is in fact built in Australia...the start of production of the 2007 Camaro should bring the production to US soil. Both GTO and Camaro will be same platform, much like the Camaro and T/A were. Happy days.

ya the car was fresh off the truck and we only added 4 miles onto it so its not a big deal. it was just cool to finally see one since they kept delaying the release date. man they must have had something funny to change to get them to be drivable in the US. that would be sweet to see an all wheel drive gto. seems like everyone is going to an awd platform. good thing we got a head start on them with our svx's

Another great Ozzi product.
Along with Ron's wine cask.
The AWD version is for Aust. only. It uses a Subaru VTD. on the back of the box. Unfortunatly the front drive shaft, runs down the LHS of the engine to the front diff. So it can't have the steering on that side. Harvey.
