first of all, it does have dual exhaust. the tips are just on the same side. look on pontiac's website, there's an under-car pic, and you can see it has 2 mufflers...

Wow. That's about 50 more hp than was originally reported. Good job. That's mid-1990's Corvette territory. Man, this car is starting to make my mouth water a little. I need to find out reliability from Austrailian customers. Anyone know where to look?
more like now corvette territory... the corvette ls1 has 350 hp, and ls1 f bodies have about the same. 98-00's dyno around 280-290 at the wheels, and 01-02 f body's dyno 310-320 at the wheels, stock. i forget where i saw it, but there was an article where they dyno'd i think a 98 corvette and trans am back to back, and the power numbers were VERY similar. the gto has a more aggressive cam and true dual exhaust, so i wouldn't be surprised if it actually had more power than the vette. the difference will be in weight and suspension.

hahahahaha... bastards... "distinctive pontiac design cues, eh? the grille is the only thing besides the logo they could comment on. and even then its far from distinctive.

i love it... so much bullshit. so, first its not their design, of course they have to act like it is, but does this mean they're going to style the rest of their cars like holdens also?

well whatever. they have to talk out of their asses with this car. i just hope most people realize it isn't a GM design at all
who cares if they didn't design it? i'm sure people won't buy a nice car because it wasn't designed by the company that's selling it

it was designed by a company that is owned by gm. it uses a chevy engine.

i thought we've been over all this in another thread, but i guess you'll just keep hating anyway...
