What is there to like about GTO's? Bland styling, on the heavy side, motor has one cam, pushrods and 2v heads.

I had a GTO pull on me on the freeway goin around 65mph, I dropped to 3rd and I was able to stay right on his ass if not could have passed him! I had to let off the gas a few times! I shut down at around 115mph and he barely had a car on me. When he dropped it, I'll admit, he sounded loud -But not as loud as my single

The interior is AWESOME, and that motor you rag on so much would blow your mind. You have no IDEA how much research ect. went into taking race-car technology and making it driveable. Show me another car that gets 26mpg hwy making 350rwhp. Go on, find one...oh, cylinder de-activation isnt allowed since the LS2 in the GTO is not equipped.

I'm spraying 100 shot and going to spray 150 shot on my Z, and my final CR is 11.46:1. Nitrous high compression+ tight quench.
