    Though I am not a fan of many things non-Ford, that GTO modified does look pretty damn sweet. Hey at least I'm commenting on an American car- though it is made if freakin' Australia-

    Yep, the cooler the car the less likely it will ever be build.

    No the '05 looks more like the autocross GTO from SEMA, It is also going to have some Holden HSV bofy kit/GFX/spoilers and 18" rims avalible.

    This may be a sneek peak at the '06 body, but since the 2007/8 will be all new I don't know if they will put the investment into the current generation GTO.

    :( unfortunatly that seems to be true, and not just for GM. I'd love a FR500, Super Stalion, Sunoco Camaro, Pontiac G8, or Dodge Viper Carbon.

    Unfortunately that has way too much style and power for GM to build. Otherwise very nice.

    That's a fuggin' sweet power plant. The exterior is decent. That's how the GTO SHOULD have looked in the first place....

    I like it. It is not as gilly as a Saleen Mustang. People complain when a car is too plain and they complain when it has some styling to it. Personally, I like some styling. Ricers with there 3 foot wings and can opener bumpers are over the top but I think this is nice and tasteful.

    Great googly moggly... that thing this is :bang: :jaw:.

    GM really is starting to get their RWD crap together finally.... just as people were starting to give up hope. First the Caddy CTS-V (not keen on styling, but can't argue with the performance). Then the upcomming 500 HP CTS-Super V which looks better than than the CTS-V due to the body mods. And now the GTO getting a kick in the pants it seems. These cars are all gonna cost upwards of 50 grand, so there's still a slot oppen for the Camaro to come back to in the 20 - 35 grand range, depending on engine choice and other options.

    Woooot!
