Or to the middle. After that he will be running out of the woods.

 

next question???

 

Well, I'm running out of shit to ask so how about some car trivia. What does "GTO" stand for as it applies to Pontiac's new Holden Monaro based coupe?

 

I think it stands for "Gran Turismo Omologato"





What should we name EvilKittie's soon to be child?

 

The Pontiac GTO has been around longer than I have It is named after a class within a racing series. Grand Touring Over (3 liters) Basically, a GTO is a racecar that is any make, manufacture, engine or chassis combination with an engine that is over 3 liters of displacement. GTU stands for Grand Touring Under. (3 liters) GTU is a racecar that has an engine that is under 3 liters of displacement. The GTU is lighter that it's bigger brother the GTO. The GTU's are allowed turbo chargers.

Both classes were regulated by IMSA in terms of weight and horsepower. The GTO, GTU, GTP (Grand Touring Prototype) and GT Lights, (Grand Touring Prototypes little brother ) a total of 4 classes were re-classified in the mid-late 90's.

Now it's GT1, GT2, GT3 as well as other classifications. There is so many classifications of cars, it's kinda hard to follow cause I don't follow the sport like I once used to.

Sorry for rambling





Any other race fans out there?

 

Former race fan...

I loved GTP with no $ limits, CART at INDY with big wings, NASCAR with no restricter-plates and big spoilers, and Formula 1 with active suspension. Guess I'm one of the few that doesn't care about the racing as much as just seeing the cars go fast.

Am I the only one that misses those days?

 

No.








All time favorite race car driver? (Mine is AJ Foyt)

 

Dale Earnhardt.


Your current favorite? (For me it's a tie between Dale Jr. and Petter Solberg.)

 

Yes it has and it's my favorite muscle car. I personally own a red 65' Covertible with the Hurst package, a 72' Arizona Gold Coupe and a Silver 04'.
