Monte carlo i mean where did they come up with that name for an american car. i dont know much but isnt it a race track in europe or something. i was just thinkin about that today let me know what you think

 

No different than GTO (Italian) - they stole that name from Ferrari

 

85ss..you have a mopar decal there...

what does GTO stand for?

 

Good observation I added a second S to make it match better though. I have always loved the visual effect of the mopar shaker decal It's a Pontiac shaker too, mixing and matching doesn't bother me too much[8D]


GTO means Grand Turismo Omologado. The GTO name was originally used by Ferrari.

 

A ha...so that's what GTO stands for. Interesting.

 

it is insteresting..i didnt know..my dad told me that it stood for the three things that the gto burned..

gas, tires, and oil...

 

LOL! Good one!

 

mind you, my dad has always been a corvette and mopar guy..so GTOs were never hsi thing...

 

The great John Z. DeLorean designed the Monte Carlo (as well as the GTO). The car was probably named Monte Carlo because of its "European styling."

 

Here are some pics of the Ferrari GTO, they had two models..
