Car Of The Week - 2004 Pontiac GTO

TdotOG · 12-30-2003, 04:33 PM

5.7L OHV V8 (350cu)
RWD, obviously
6 speed manual, which is nice to see
350hp@5200rpm
365lbs/ft@4000rpm
158 mph top speed
0-60mph: 5.3 seconds
1/4 mile: 14.0@102mph
redline: 6000rpm
(stats from car and driver test (Dec. 2003)

Here's one of the concept car from 1999, just for kicks. I don't have the stats on it though.

Pretty big difference in execution I'd say. It went from being overdone, to subtle. I'm not quite sure if I like the new GTO or not. The styling seems uninspired in my opinion. It just isn't exciting to look at, although that might change when I actually see one on the road. I dunno...it just seems kind of tame to be a GTO. The interior is kind of dull too, but WAY better than what you'd typically expect from Pontiac.

I dunno....I'm pretty much on the fence for this car...I can go either way on it.
What'd you guys think?

I want the old GTO back.

Unlike many, I actually like the new GTO. My mom is looking into getting one. I told her to hold out for that track version or whatever they are building down the road.

This car is nice... But i have always like the Holden cars.

So the performance is matched against the new GT mustangs? IS this car a fucking pig or something?

Weird, I hate how Car and Driver gives stats. Actually i hate how every car magazine gives stats. This is a 13 sec car easy.

Cause i would hate to think a SRT4 can beat this car in the quarter stock for stock.

I just remembered, this is the second time this car has been car of the week. I posted it as car of the week a long time ago.
