I love the front end, not too interested in the big flares on the fenders.

The front end adds much more character to the rather bland styling of the production GTO

Looks good, but I agree, something has to be done with those tips.

I kind of like the tips! The tips remind me of ~1977 era Trans-Am/Firebirds exhaust tips.

I'd drive that, but not for the money they'd want. Not worth it.

Yah thats what I like about them. I actually Love those tips, because they are very different then the tipical straight tips.

As for its sound... well I don't care for the sound. Needs some work in that department other then that I love every inch of this car.

Like the car a lot. Front end looks way better than stock.

Hate the way the tips look from the rear though.

OMG, that is beatiful.

Now honestly guys, If they have you a 400 horse, LS2 powered GTo that looked like that for 33k, would you buy it?

I would.

I do like the detailing in the engine bay, and, yeah the functional ram-air. Engine bay looks tons better than the '05 stangs. But at what cost???? :scratch:

Is this the GM Judge or the SLP (Makers of the Firehawk) Judge? I remember there was (IS?) a lawsuit over the use of the name...

Nope, it was just a special show car that GM's young designers made for the Woodward Dream Cruise. They made this and a Supped up v8 powered Chevy Colorado. I for one am in love with both.
