Haverty, what are you smokin? I own a new GTO and they DO NOT handle like boats...lol. You are misinformed about the chassis. They are built by Holden and have great handling performance for a car that weighs in at nearly 4000lbs. With minor upgrades, I would put it up against an F-body weighing in 500lbs lighter. The GTO (Monaro) was intoduced in it's current form back in 1998. It made it to the US 5 years later in late 2003 for the '04 year. They are a very solid and rattle free car. Unlike cars that ARE built in the US...

i love the red GTO at 3:37

onlyinajeep- thats funny, the new ones handle like boats too. They arent even built by chevy. They use a severly outdated chassis which was built in the 80's. The only redeeming factor these cars have is the LS2. But too bad the suspension setup isnt really able to fully handle the power.

ls2 okay??? 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Most of the old gtos were boats, slow as hell, and handled like a buick. I'd take a new gto anyday, beside the styling is tight.

FartCan, It would appear then, by the same logic, that people who fix up old cars don't have the money to buy new ones. Your fallacies are What about those of us that have new, old, domestic, and foreign? Got any wise words for us? The new GTO is overrated? ...not according to the performance stats... they beat the originals by buses in performance. It has the same spirit as the originals in that they are plain looking cars with big engines. In short, you are "justifying" your position by attacking the new goat instead of providing quantifiable information that is not just a bunch of biased rhetoric. Too bad you don't know what you are missing with such a narrow view. I pitty you.

ahaha lol now that is funny ...shoot id take an ol goat my self cause there just bad like a 64 or a 67 or one of the tri carb gto's

The new ones are cheap, and come with a warrantee. They look like a fat grand prix and the ls1 auto is just plain slow. The ls2 is ok, but once again, the car looks like a fat watermellon. No thanks. Gimmie an old school gto any day. People that cant fix up cars buy the new ones... they take em in for oil changes etc....weak

i'll agree to a dergree with you ...my dad has one there not as fast as a cobra but they are still fun as crap to drive ...and they sound strong so

The new GTO's are over rated, fatman cars, but you have to love the real ones, the vintages.
