My company's directors and VPs are given complementary GTOs and I have had the pleasure of borrowing one for the afternoon. Now, it is missing much of the classic styling cues and 'muscle car' look, but that is one of the things I like about it. There are no fake hood scoops or brake cooling vents like the 'stang. It doesn't really stand out, and not everyone is going to get one (it is a Pontiac, ya know). But driving it was tons of fun. Great acceleration, when you throw it in second it doesn't lag, IT GOES FASTER! The interior had some of the cheap GM feel, but I like the color coordination; paint, leather and gauges match. Not everyone knows you are driving a monster unless they know you are driving a monster. Does that make sense? haha. Maybe it's just me, I'm into the sleeper thing. I thought it was fun, don't knock it 'till you try it. If I was going to buy a new car ... I wouldn't buy this! But it's on my top 3. Right behind my first choice, the Chrysler 300C.
You know what would make the GTO better? A Judge, but I'm not so sure I'de go with orange! Drive safe!
