HAN members know their s!i+! I have yet to drive the new GTO, local Pontiac dealers are currently taking orders, but none available for display. I did get a brochure, however. I am very impressed with the car as a whole. Glad to hear that GM has improved on the already great LS1 engine, and I can finally get a well made vehicle to go along with it I've got 50,000 miles on the Trans Am, have had NO reliability issues with the LS1 whatsoever. Since my Accord has over 100,000 miles and is closing in on 8 years old...I am currently shopping for my 'next car' Both the GTO and new Acura TL are looking tempting, the hard part will be deciding which direction I want to take.
