Hell yea, I have an 80 Malibu wagon as my drag car. IMO, they were some of the best all around American cars to come out for the money. The Malibus for example, you can fit anything and everything in them, they come with a factory 4 link, full frame, the SS's, T Types, GN's, all had quick ratio steering boxes, the M40 suspension plain kicked ass, and you can cut the weight down fast.

Compare what it takes to make a 6 cyl twin turbo supra to go fast to what it takes to make a 6 cyl single turbo GN go fast. I know two guys personally who are running deep into the 9's for under 20k, including the cost of the cars, which are mint.

I had a Malibu for a short time.. Kind of a loaner.. Not bad, but not much for looks.. I guess that was why I never bothered chasing them.. Thanks Nash for the memory, nice cars..

I really liked the look of the G-bodies, just something about the stance of the car. And I just love the torque curve on the GN.

The 2004 Pontiac GTO will be taking the place of the Firebird. I don't know about the place of the camero. Take a look at the Ford Mustang. They seem to have the better Ideal. They sell will.

Yeah.. I've seen the GTO.. I'm not real impressed with it though..

The F-Body will live forever, and the rice will continue to eat our dust...... 50 years from now there will still be F Bodies eating rice while the rice of today is recycled into a stack of toasters sitting on a shelf at Wal-Mart.

LoL Ashton, I agree whole heartedly. I just bought myself a 1998 GTP, with 58k miles. And it kicks so much freaken Rice. That car is such a sleeper, until the light turns green and the smoke clears.

I've only had the car for a month or two, and I've crushed atleast 6 to 8 ricers. I love it! Can't wait to take it to the track. *grins*

Man..I like the GTO. I think it's hot. But then again, I'm a pontiac lover, and I already own a GTP. Why not make a little bigger jump into the GTO? :)

Trust me I know the feeling.....

I love the GTO of the past, and I'm glad to see the name live on.. But I just don't like how the new one looks.. It took on the same old Pontiac features of the sugared up GPs..
