Nice if there wasnt an Evo I would have one in my garage now. I like the GTO but love the awd of my Evo cant beat the traction and handling and the braking the Evo gives me more than just a quick rush of power in a straight line. But I love the sound of a V8, funny thing is I came from muscle cars then got my Evo.

OH DAMN! There you go, have you looked into importation on the grounds of it being "substansially similar" to the US model. That could be an evo killer if it was here. Why the hell does the US never get the coolest cars....

i only wish... i would also rock one of these...



see i dont view my car as a gto.. i view it as the Holden Monaro.. which is a part of a line of bad *** cars.. the gto name is wrong for this car.. i bet anything they would of sold way more and had a better repution if they were called the

pontiac monaro..
