I was conceived on the hood of the last Pontiac my parents owned. Needless to say, we have rules about what happens on the hoods of cars around here now days, lord knows we dont need anymore of me running around. I want the new challenger thats not out yet. Its similar to the charger but longer and without the goofy body line (i think, i havent seen very many up close photos) I hope it comes in purple with a hemi They need to bring back the demon and stir up the bible thumpers again. (Built only in 71 and 72, bible thumpers were offended by the name and threatened to boycott dodge so the changed it to dodge dart sport. Not as cool IMO.) |

my fren had one 04 GTO V8 5.7 then he turbocharged it and got the dyno about more than 420wbhp. i loved his car. the interior is clean, simple and sporty. in my opinion, that's the best value for money you can get for a V8 sport coupe. it's a drag racing car more than an auto x car. he got one of the last for the autox rankings(too much power) i rode with him before, it rode so smooth, quiet. i told him his car was a king of the highway. 6spd crusing thru the west viginia mountain roads like a piece of cake. it was so easy and anytime get to 120, 130 till 160mph if you want ..
and, he traded his car for a lil slower but more luxurious performance SUV

The 600hp kit I posted made 493hp at the wheels @ 8psi and with the restrictive stock exhaust. BTW, wasn't it Top Gear that praised the GTO for its handling? I can understand it being overpowered for a small auto-x course though. |

The only problem the GTO really has in handling is it's weight. At about 3850lb's, it's too freakin heavy. Other than that, it handles quite well from my experience. |

Oh and the 2004 GTO's dyno between 290-305rwhp.

Yeah, my fren installed the turbo kit by himself. It's the less expensive type but still produced obvious horsepower different....
I ain't sure it will hit 9s or never (stop halfway ), ...but the turbo helped him to cut down about 1 sec. the 04 was V8 5.7 came with 350hp....when 05' and up, is V8 6.0 with 400hp..... I never got a chance to drive his car so I don't know how much different it handles from an SVX. He said the handling was average......it was not doing good in a small AutoX course. He started the car with 2nd gear, it was still spinning rear wheels ...

I like the idea of the GTO, but not at $34k+. For that kind of money you can get a new 3 series BMW or a used M3 or M5. The rustang sells so well because of all the women who buy the $20k 6 cylinder version. Pontiac needs a $28k GTO and it needs better looks.
I also agree with Shadow on one thing, WAY to heavy. |

That new challenger is gorgeous. Too bad the current charger is so freaking awful looking. |
