Pontiac made a movie to sell this car, The Last Ride. It is from the director of the Fast and Furious. I guess that explains the riced up gauges in this thing. The only thing they really have on us is the six speed. 13.8 1/4 mile my old stock 88 mustang Lx could do that.

 

Ummm no it couldn't

 

Find so old mags and read for yourself, 87 and 88 LX H.O. were quicker than than alot of new cars. Even was on a list of ten fastest mustangs a one time.

 

Having red faces makes them rice gauges?

(pages Ferrari to fix the Enzo)

 

I also posted this on Mach 1 Registry.com....If you go to MSN Auto website and compare pics of the GTO and the BMW 3 series (330i), you'll notice a very strong resemblance ! You really don't notice it one-on-one, but side-by-side...I think Holden was trying to create an Aussie BMW clone.

 

I would agree that the GTO profile is very similar to the BMW 3 series.
According to some of the Aussie guys on the GTO forum, that was a target for them to compete with as well as Mercedes. They also had to go up against the Nissan R34 Skyline (the single turbo, not the twin turbo) which we never got in the US.

 

The latest MM&FF tests a new GTO vs. a new Mach 1, and the Mach 1 barely edged the GTO out.

 

But it still did, so eat that Pontiac!

 

Did you not see the yellow ones and the blue ones.

 

Yeah. Like those crazy MyColor (Colour) guages we can get on the Mustang in 05. SOOOO ricey.

Are those more acceptable then?

 

A MAF 5.0 HO, bone stock, was quite capable of low fourteens... The LX models were lighter than the GTs. I doubt high 13's are possible bone stock, buteven with minor modifications, they're easily attainable.

 

Speed density cars run better stock than Mass air cars stock Mass air cars are easier to modify though. 87 and 88 where speed density.
