Agreed, a different hood and wheels don't fix the problem....nor does fancy exhaust outlets. It's not like pontiac is poor c'mon, tighten your suspenders and hop to it. Make it look like a GTO, it shouldn't blend in with a group of sedans during rush hour. And damnit get rid of the grand am grill.
i just noticed this, those rear tires are pretty wide. Time for the looks to catch up with the performance.

it would suck to be beaten by a "normal sedan"

my argument for the GTO, you spend a few pennys more then a grand prix GTP and you get twice the car. Its very practicle and has some power. Some people like cars with 4 useable seats.

Alot of times I approach a Fbody in the dark beliving they are a enthuisest but find out its just some dude driving an auto V6.

LS1 RWD 6speed, thats what matters, whats not to like about the GTO?

I do like that concept GTO, however I see it as a mockery of how some percive a GTO. It was american taste and opinion of the 04 GTO that brought that concept.

That car has 6 scoops if it had more it would be irony. Why the excessive scoops cause people at pontiac probley grew sick of 16 y/o saying a GTO needs to have hood scoops.

If they kept the Holden monaro grill they could have lost the grand am look. Which is only skin deep and pertains only to the egg crate grill. Its a pontiac and thats their styling.

you have seen a holden monaro right?

I'll never undertsand why they put the GTO name on an LS1/2 powered Grand Prix. I think it sux, but oh well. And the "Judge" does look like a riced out cavy.

sometimes i think the biggest problem with the 04 GTO is that its called a GTO. People can't get over the name. They should have called it the Chevrolet Lumina SS.

I am with the others on the exhaust tips. Over all I like the car. I wonder if it would be hard to tune the car with 2 MAFs?
