I'm actually impressed. A decent looking Pontiac inside and out. Other than the wtf steering wheel, that interior is actually pretty damn nice looking for a Pontiac. 340hp 5.7L LS1 V8 @ around $30k is definitely attractive.

 

Not bad at all. Exterior styling isnt too great, but its not ugly by any means.

Why is it a 5.7 "Litre"? An "american" muscle car doesnt have a 5.7 "Liter" engine? i wonder if that spelling is final.

 

Yeah bro...5.7 Litre? :eh: That's weird. Kind of looks like a G3 Integra IMO...especially from the side. I like it. At least Pontiac didn't do that red numbers/letters thing for the HVAC display...I'm so sick of that.

How come it's only one exhaust? I'd say two howitzers out the back a la G35C would do the engine alot more justice.

 

didnt notice that. on a big V8 like that, a single pipe would be somewhat restrictive. kinda funny how some cars who dont even need twin pipes have em, but this doesnt.

 

Exterior is a godsend considering what GM is drawing up for the Grand Prix and what became of the....Aztek. :barf:


The "Litre" thing is probably taken from the HSV GTO (think of it as the SVT of Monaro) from Australia. There's still a lot of Monaro in it since production hasn't started on the US GTOs yet. Notice the speedo is still in km/h.

 

Me likey. =)

 

I doubt that its a single pipe. We used to have a Catera and the dual tips are connected to a single dual channel muffler. Two pipes go all the way up to the cats. BMW does the same.

 

Good point. That's probably exactly what they're doing. But those are luxuryish type cars...especially BMW, they don't like dual exhausts. this is a good 'ol American classic. You'd expect dual exhausts, wouldn't you? I know I would.

 

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No offense to you, but as much as I'm impressed with the GTO, I will laugh out loud if anyone refers anything about the GTO being "American". :fawk:

 

that would make even less sense.
