<drool> 575HP GTO...
It's only a concept, and may never be produced. But for the 10th annual summer dream cruise in Michigan featured a GTO powered by a 6.4L LS7-derived engine. That's the engine slated for the new Corvette Z06.
This variant of the engine (it still contains some LS1 and LS2 bits) put out 575HP, 500lb-ft, and revved to 7000rpm -- not bad for a pushrod. Also had twin hood scoops (tasteful), wide fenders, revised fascias, and 20" wheels.
Good lord if they ever made that I'd be buying a Pontiac,

Not bad, knowing that the new GTO is based on the "Vouxihul" (spelling) a car built and sold in Australia 
It is also sold in the Middle East as a Chevy Lumina 4Dr or 2dr.

I thought the GTO was based off the Holden Monero... never heard of a "Vouxihul" before. Did you mean Vauxhall? I don't think the GTO has anything to do with any Vauxhall out there.
The heck is a 3000GTO? You mean 3000GT?

3000GT is really the Mitsubishi GTO, the big brother of the FTO.
And Holden != Vauxhall, though I believe GM has a big stake in the rusty V nowadays.
