Sorry guys, I gotta diagree on the DD GTO thing. But then again, that is just my opinion. And you are correct, if that's all you got, then that's all you got. But, take some time and talk to some 50 year guys that drove real muscle cars back in the day, and how they wished they had not driven them in the winter. I drove my '84 Camaro in the winter, but it was just a basic coupe car and actually did pretty well with some weight. But after it started rotting away, I could not save it. Things like the brake and fuel lines rust and leak. Anyway, when I bought a $500 Corsica, it was well worth it and was way better in the snow. Those GTO's will be worth some coin, I can promise you that, more than my T/A ever will.

There are so few of these things around

Do you live in Michigan? These cars are almost dime a dozen... Heck, all they really are is a G6 with a v8.

just never got into them

Look at the production numbers.

If your going to call it that, new camaros just a G8, some with a v8

They really are! They actually have some of them on the lots but all of them with in 500 miles of here are LS2 autos. Trust me, I've looked. I was never a fan of them until I drove a buddies (LS2 6spd) and that thing was fast. Didn't handle as well as my Trans Am in the corners but it has that sleeper factor going on and the front seats are amazing! I'd put a set of them in my Trans Am if they weren't black and didn't say GTO on the headrest.

makes ya wonder in years down the road if they will bring the GTO back again

[TSTONE]

Great post...very well said.

idk about that brian, that makes it sound like half of all production is in macomb. I def dont think GTOs are a dime a dozen, i see WAY more corvettes

Furthermore, adding to what myth said.... keeping the rust off my truck is a full time job (as i actually care about it).

Yes sir I most definitely do. I do not see that many on the west side. And I will admit, they do not have the classic American muscle car theme of big scoops, stripes and wings, but it is a hell of a car. I compare it to a mix of a Cavalier and Grand Am on steroids. Have you ever driven one?? Saying that it is just a G6 with a V8 tells me that you have not driven one or the other. Am I a huge GTO fan...no, but I'm just calling them like I see them, and I do respect that car.

[MP81]

I generally see a ton.

Hell - they could make the GTO a special option on the G8, limited production - that would be an excellent idea.

[TSTONE]

ive actually driven quite a few and am not saying anything about them performance wise - i just never cared for the styling and therefore to me its nothing more than a dd - i would put it in the same catagory as the last generation Monte SS's for a higher performance dd - only it didnt look as nice

[cjmatt]

gtos arent going to be worth a million dollars like everyone thinks they are. i had a sweet 06, but it was just a DD, never tried to make it anything special. they are pretty shitty in the snow though. i give her props for trying

[WMCCjames]

Meh....it's just a GTO.....nice cars but nothing special.
