im in atl area...so is initial d..and our friend josh w a tt z..you should hit us up sometime if in the area..

 

After reading all this threads, I still don't know who makes GTO?
How does it look like?

 

Pontiac makes the GTO.
http://www.pontiac.com/ Then go to GTO, see for yourself.

 

Are you going to ZDayZ?

 

The point is...The GTO looks like a Grand Am or is it the Gran Prix....? Park it on a Pontiac lot close to either one and you can't tell them apart. And yes I know they added hood scopes! The Z has Style! Our cars don't look like Altimas.... What's up Georgia!!???

 

The GTO has always looked like that. They wanted it to look like the 2-door version of the mid-size family sedan in their line-up, that is just faster.

Apparently the private planes AREN'T up in Georgia. There's been like 3 plane crashes in the winter alone hasn't there?

 

dude..where is the zdayz in ga and when..i saw the thread but cldnt find GA info

 

The Z has the same ideas and heritage the reborn GTO has.

GTO: The OG muscle car. Lightweight for it's time American coupe with stripped down luxury features with an overpowered engine for it's day. Body style very subtle and performance cues like tachometer on the hood and ram air. Quarter mile back then 14.7 now 13.2.

Z: The OG affordable well rounded sports car shapely disitinct from japan to match the performance of a more expensive European grand touring car. And you know the rest!

Mustang: Crappy 40 year old foxbody design always beat by the Camaro. College chicks love it in V6 convertible when daddy buys it and gets awful gas mileage and as reliable as a Ford.

Civic: Cvcc gets great gas mileage during the oil crisis. Now it does the same thing but with a noisy Vtec sound. Still embarassing to own or drive.

 

Gotta disagree with the Mustang comment.

They've changed the design quite a bit. And...the SVT Cobra was faster than the Camaro/Firebird before GM pulled the plug on them. Agreed, this is why Ford can even offer a GT or SVT Cobra, is from selling so many V6 models.

Don't mind me though, i'm a Mustang fan.

 

ZDayZ is in Fontana Village, NC. http://www.zdayzevents.com/

I'm considering going.

 

me too bro...i work for marriott..i hop theres a marriott nearby

 

Depends on which Cobra you were talking about. They had NA cobras running high 14s. The last LS1 WSS6 Firmaro runs high 12s low 13s with auto trannys. Only the last gen foxbody Cobras are respectably fast from what I understand. They run mid 12s very easily and are priced competitively for it's power. Saleen S281s come N/A too. Roush is mostly bodykits. I love the sound of Blowzilla though.

Not completely truthful or well driven:

The 03/04 Cobras are what I was referring to...which was a year after the Camaro/Firebird ended. I honestly believe Ford has pissed on the Camaro/Firebird grave since '03.

I'm looking forward to the next Chevrolet sports car though (not the vette), a retro Chevy should be interesting.

 

Yeah Ford wins this one on continued lifespan. Thanks to dumb college girls who back up their car at the mall while talking on their cell phone.

 

LOL! I thought I was the only one disgusted by V6 Stangs. They are so popular down here with the posers in miami. Eveyrone and their mom has a v6 stang with a GT badge on the back... I see your damn pony badge on teh side and your single muffler!

Btw, Stangs are awesome... Well I liked mine till it had tranny probs after 6 months... :/

Back to the GTO, I like the styling. Which was borrowed from the Holden Monaro. It's a definet sleeper and parts should net crazy gains.

 

you speaking 5.7 NA vs 4.6 supercharged...you are talking about different hemispheres..a good comparison would be a gt and z28..or even maybe an ss...throw the same supercharger on an 02 ss with the same amount of psi...see who runs the 1/4 faster...and...the cobra runs mid 12's...while an ss runs em high...ud break into 11's possibly with an SC on a ss

 

mods for the GTO are much cheaper than the Z's and hp gains for those cheap mods are huge...

 

of course an exhaust on 6.o will have a bigger gain...duhh...thats like comparing a integra to a Z hp gain with an exhaust

 

Agreed. It's the only thing Ford offered though so they could be faster.
