I raced on once. Some guy with his son sitting in the passenger seat pointed at my car and started laughing/smiling. I just looked at him and smiled, and when the light turned green we both launched our cars. I didn't get to see the look on his face as I put a substantial amount of car lengths on the fool.
Fast car in a straight line, but I thought someone like you would've gotten an E46 M3 or something . . .

I will admit, I came very close to purchasing a NISMO 350z...I had my name down for a white one that would have come in this month. Hopefully I won't live to regret my decision.

What's "better"? 9.5 car lengths?
well fairing better is a bad statment.. i should say was a better sport.. they kept running after and we gave each other thumbs up.. the GTO guy just lost and decided to hang back then take the local section of the NJTPK
i actually found the 300c guys on their forum..
was pretty intersting

Why all the haters against GTO's? Good ol 400 hp in a comfortable coupe! Spend a couple grand and get the suspension tightened up and you'll have a serious threat against a M3.

If you wanna talk resemblences, the GTO looks more like a Cavalier. Rounded front ends, same taillights in the rear. However, whatever it looks like, it'll certaintly surprise the unexpecting.

yeah ZERO resemblance. Look at the side glass, the line of the hood, the roofline. It has the same fundamentals which are inherent to the design... In fact it's more of a Sunfire/Grand Prix hybrid.

Edit... A Monaro front bumper fixes those stupid kidney grills Pontiac added on.

Given that I typically have no problem tossing my opinion out there, I seldom have a problem with other peoples' opinions, be them negative or positive. You can call the car ugly or plain...that doesn't bother me...but to say that it resembles a Sunfire...it's so pathetically cliche, unoriginal, and just totally stupid.
A GTO looks like a Sunfire in the way that Beyonce looks like Mo'Nique...they're both black, they both have a pair of *******, they have eyes and a mouth, 2 arms and 2 legs, etc...etc...from a LOOOOOOOOOOONG way away, you MIGHT...might mistake the two. But in reality, Beyonce looks nothing like Mo'Nique's fatass and a GTO looks nothing like a fugly little turd Sunfire, and if you think they do, you're either blind or total idiot, I don't know if there's a nicer way to put it.
