So today as i was driving i drove passed a Gto and i fell in love, They have 400hp!!!, and i can pick up a used one for around $20,000, I know some of you guys hate the look so don't post about how ugly they look i don't care, post about if you Have of been in one or even drove one? and how was it?

thanks

If you didn't care about what we thought....(as you stated) you wouldn't be here telling us what you are getting and petitioning our support and opinions. Are you kidding me, a Pontiac GTO? Weren't you going to get a Mercedes C32 AMG or was that just a dream or fantasy? I just feel like you want something from a car that you are just not going to get. There is nothing "better around the corner" that is going to fix your problem --- and a GTO is certainly not the class of any german car. I dont mean clutch popping, 0-60 times, (call me a poser!) but I care about the reason for owning a Porsche. The refinement, the history and the passion of a truly legendary automaker, not just some plastic Pontaic crap.

You are one strange cookie.

One of the products the dealer I work for is Pontiac. The GTO is a tremendous let down. Get a Vette if you want 400 hp. The GTO is not designed to go fast any other way than straight. Handling is soft and shaky. There is alot of cowl shake. The gear box feels like there are rocks crushing each time you change gears. Sitting in the car feels like you are commanding a boat. Brakes are good. I would compare this car to driving a BMW 3 series not a Porsche.

At least the vette feels nimble and well balanced.

GTO = GTNO!!

I would prefer a Caddy CTS-V (same 400hp, but better brakes, suspension and chassis) to a GTO.. "if" I was forced to choose. Luckily i am not forced, and therefore free to look for another Porsche!

I'm a musclecar guy through and through, so I completely understand the draw to a 400 horsepower straightline hammer, but the GTO? Dude, it looks just like the Sunbird the 16 year old girl up the street drives. If you're going to buy a musclecar, buy a cool one. There are so many better choices out there, I don't even know where to start. Let's see...CTS-V, Vette, Mustang, new Camaro, new Challenger, etc, etc, etc. Even the Magnum and Chrysler SRT8s are better alternatives.

Rule 1 hit it right on the head; there's a reason they didn't sell many and scrapped the program almost immediately.

Umm, guys, I think this was an April fools joke, maybe a Halloween prank? No, I got it. Maybe a gang banger stole his computer and posted here. Seriously, when I think Pontiac GTO, I think a skinny kid with boxers out, wife beater t-shirt, and a red gang bandana on his head. I also think of my mother in law's surprise visits into town in her Grand Prix.

Maybe we are biased, right? I bet if you post the same question on the Pontiac forum, at least half would still choose the Porsche or Mercedes. If you want speed, pony up the extra 8 and get a real engine- v12 cl600. They are often on ebay for less than 30.

I have a feeling you posted this because you knew it would get a lot of responses and you wanted your ebay link to get the publicity. At least I hope so!

I actually think pontiac did a great job re-releasing the 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo as the new Pontiac GTO.............ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.......

[unklekraker]

dude, go ahead and sell your car for horsepower but I highly suggest for you to check this one out before jumping in to...what was that car again?

I think the airfare is worth it if you live close by the owner

blkboxster, I like your idea of selling your Boxster and buying a GTO. You should also consider selling your Cayenne and get a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It is a much nicer SUV than the Cayenne.

the videos are temping me ,
