Take a look at this one. It is called the Ram Air 6. The 389 V-8 pushes 575 horsepower.

Front looks even better. Functional scoops too. Too bad it's just a concept as if the GTO were this (even with the current engine) it would probably have sold a lot better.

Do a google search on 'GTO "ram air" concept' and you'll find tons of pics.

I like the front and back of the stock GTO but the side is just too plain. This improves it greatly IMO.

It is a big improvement but it does have a bit of Acura in the front IMO.

First off, I said I see a bit of Acura in the front. I didn't say the front looked like an Acura. The shape of the headlights kinda reminds me of the TL:



Dunno. Maybe I'm crazy but that's the first thing I thought when I saw Burningman's GTO.

That is much better than what Pontiac has. If it looked like that I wouldn't mind them at all.

Autoweek gave a great write up on the GTO and what a big numb slug it was this month. There is a reason why Holden is on a new platform now. I don't think anything will help GTO sales.

Which new platform does Holden have? any links to information about it?
