Looks like a bad Cavalier!!

The GP looks a lot better in my opinion!

I think it looks better in person. When I was at Autorama last month they had one there and it looked nice. [Cool]

Bone stock, Brian Reese the SLP PP CE ran 13.14 @ 106.97.

One of the GMHTP drivers ran 13.11 the same day in that car.

Word is wheel hop is pretty bad. So bad there was no benefit using DRs. My buddy said he generated some on a 2-3 shift. [Eek!]

He is a Pontiac dealership owner. He said the thing he was most impressed with was the fit and finish of the interior. By far the best on any Pontiac he has ever seen were his words. So good job to GM/Holden on that front.

I like what SLP did with the hood. Nothing too flamboyant, and of course, the scoops will be functional. I can't wait to see it in person.

I think the interior and over all quality is superb, mainly due to the fact that it is basically a 'rebadged' Holden vehicle...take that as loosely as ya want...Once it is manufactured elsewehre, we'll see if GM can keep that quality. (this going off what I had heard that its being built in Aussie land adn will later move production to the US.)

Nevertheless...still doesnt do anything for me... [Roll Eyes]

If I am correct I thought I had read a while ago that when the car is "reskinned" it will be made here. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure. [Smile]

Car and Driver TV just trashed the GTO and gave praise to the quote "Sweet Camaro Z-28". Dead?

Can't figure GM these days????
