I guess they pulled the video at the request of the copyright holder. I saw it a few times before it got deleted. If you have a different video (one that you took), then you can host it here. http://video.ls1tech.com/ . If it's the same exact video, I think they will pull it though.

By the time I graduate college my '95 bird will need to be replaced with a more newer or new car. If GM doesnt get a f-body made within the next 6 or 7 years imma have to become a mustang fan and i dont want to have to switch sides to ford. The Corvette is out of price range and the GTO's and latest f-bodys will be used up or out of date by then. GM please wake up!
I'll never buy another ford product just because they stopped making f-bods. keep faith.

Ford is selling north of 18,000 Mustangs a month (eighteen thousand!). They could sell more if they could bump GT production.
Chrysler is selling all the Hemis they can make - running their Mexico plant 24/7. Hemi is sold at a $5000 premium (it doesn't cost more to make than an off-the-shelf run-of-the-mill motor). Much of their $1 Billion dollar qtr profit was due to Hemi sales.
I doubt GM is ignoring these facts.
They'll be lucky if they sell 13,000 GTOs this year.
They need the cashflow.......a Camaro/Firebird?

The problem with the GTO is that is a uninspiring looking car..Grand Prix front end Honda Accord back end on it and extremely over weight...it does have a nice interior but not a very exciting car IMHO...saw a few of them at the track a few weeks ago running neck and neck with the new rustangs in the mid 14's.. hopefully GM will redesign the car and build us a real muscle car with some exciting looks in the future...GM figured that they could slap a GTO decal on something and people would fall all over themselves rushing to buy it..what a joke..

I don't want to make things difficult for anyone and since I know how hush hush this is I will keep my mouth shut so others don't get introuble.
