I like it not bad compared to a stock C5 vette it run's mid to low 13's.And 33k is not that much for a 350 hp 365tq car that run's mid 13's.

Half of the people hating on this car would have thier balls shrivel up into their dick if a GTO pulled up to them at a stoplight.
My balls would not shrivel up. I make more power and weigh seven hundred pounds less. :o Have no fear, I've seen the Holden version of this car (different front rascia, essentially) test driven and it handles like a turd. Huge body roll and tons of understeer. The Aussie car had a more aggressive look all around. Can't remember the model designation though.

In a straight line, it will be decent, but as a driver's car, this thing does not cut the mustard at all.

He said it looked like a 13k car and I agree with him. It may be some things, but it sure ain't distinctive looking. I think someone described it as a "sucked throat lozenge" in one of the preliminary reviews. Might have been Autoweek.

yeah looks like a bloated grand am with a v8, probably still has the same crap plastic interior that comes in all the chevy products as of late. performance is nice, if i had the 30k id either save up a little longer and go svt cobra or just get a used SS and have enough left over to see the gto in the rearview.

Pontiac had a bunch of cars out by the marshall center today, I sat in a few of them. The only one with a half decent interior was the 30000 GTP, but the dash and instruments were all pretty crummy, the leather was what made the difference. I went over to the sunfire and I didn't even get in, I just looked at the seats and the seat material and laughed. They were the crappiest seats out of the crappiest matieral that I've ever seen in any car.
