Well first off they got the Country wrong lol nvr was made in the us

 

Yeah, not to mention the last "Real" GTO was made in 1974..

The recent "GTO" was a rebadge of the Holden Monaro from GM Australia.

 

The recent GTO is an amazing car, i love mine

 

I've heard that argument from a lot of purists. They refused to like it because it wasn't designed and built in the USA. Or because it didn't look retro.

I know it's a modded Holden Monaro. But you have to appreciate a car the size of a Grand Am with a 5.7 litre V8 stuffed into it. They didn't look retro like many purists wanted. But the GTO name can be proud to be on one hell of a performance car. I wanted one in the worst way back in 04 and 05. But GM wouldn't sell them to Canadians.

 

The 04-06 GTOs are wicked cars & the fit & finish is amazing & couldnt you drive across the boarder & buy one? Odd they wernt in canada

 

Licence bureau wouldn't even issue a licence plate to one in 2004. I could never get a straight answer from them as to why not. One of them told me the car didn't meet emissions standards. When I pointed out that California's emissions standards are more strict than Canada, they told me to just drop the subject and go away because the car is illegal in Canada.... case closed.

That was in 2004 & 2005. I have since seen some of them in Canada. With plates. I guess I'm still kinda bent outta shape about it.

 

That is odd for sure, & yeah if it passes california it can pass anywhere,

 

wonder where the engine cover on that goat is. Not that it makes much of a difference, but it does tie the engine bay together nicely all i know about the GTO is that i smoked one with the monte a while back and it felt amazing

 

I need to paint my covers lol & well than just come on by & see how you do against mine

 

can't i just take on the edge and monte instead?

--idk what was up with the gto i raced. Got a car or so ahead and all i heard were his tires as he ripped through the gears trying to catch up lol i thought i would be toast against a gto, but i got a good jump on him i guess...
