Congrats on the new Goat! So, what's it gonna be, NXT Paste or #21? Or maybe #26?

Now I get to see the results of what you use on your GTO before I decide what to use on mine!

I see you got the 18" wheels too!

Use the money and build a 64-70 GTO.

Not to sure where you get the honda civic from, the Pontiac GTO derived itself form our own muscle car from the 60's /70's called a Monaro, mainly a 2 door coupe but was also a 4 door, when the VT Commodore came out from some designes for you lot in the US which is our parant company over there making your chevs, anywho a couple of boured designers here decided to make the VT Commodore a 2 door made it all up it then became the base for the Monaro, then the big influx of aussie and american muscle cars came back a deal was struck between the to countries and we made up your Pontiac GTO which didnt sell so well so we decided to cut out losses and cease production but what just sext them over to europe to Voxhaul (which is our euro couterpart) and got rave reviews not to mention won awards. Not sure if you cared about whkat i wrote or already knew about the history behind the development of that car. never mind, i'll just go back and wrestle my corocodile back to sleep and take the kangaroo for a walk

the first owner says that the STi would kill the GTO on a road circut but the straight line proformace is un beatlable

you should get something to improve the handling

Think of it this way, which car is heavier and which one will streatch it legs on an open road

Their all like that over here, the bent banana look isnt going away neither been around for a while

Congrats on the purchase! It looks great! The GTO seems like such a steal. I'd love to get one but it would make no sense at all for me.

I thought this farewell for the platform was interesting if you haven't seen it already:
Last Hurrah for Holden's Legendary Monaro

And here is your picture link:

Welcome to the club. I still get this big grin when I get behind the wheel. I figure that is all that matters.

BTW talking about the hand brake did anyone notice it is on the wrong side? Guess GM didn't bother with moving it to the other side when they brought it from down under. LOL

Sorry. I am a car freak and I just can't to get myself to like that car. To me it is very plain and outdated looking. I do apperciate the fact that it is MUSCLE and a ball to drive but I was/am very disappointed in the looks.
